<VV> 101 cars you must drive

[Western Canada CORSA]

Seeing as the first episode airs during the convention it would be cool if
we could watch it  at the Convention.  Then again, the first episode is
titled "The Bird if the Word" so I doubt there is much Corvair content.

The host is a comedian named Alonzo Bodden.  Here's a video clip from the
Fiat 500 episode, if you'd like to see the flavour of the show.

I went so far when this first came up to contact the host to see what he had
to say about the episode.

I said:
The Corvair community has noticed the commercials for your new show on
Speed.  Two shots of Corvairs!  We're looking forward to seeing what you
have to say.  But I really, really hope you don't parrot the usual BS about
Nader killing the Corvair.  The truth is alot more interesting..... Nader
forced GM to keep making the Corvair for three years longer than they had
originally planned!

He replied:
Thanks for getting in touch. I have done so many cars its hard to remember
the script. We did talk a bit about Nader but we talk more about what the
car is and what change it was for GM from the cars they had been building. I
hope you like the show 

Anyway, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Regards,
Joel

There is also an Early, they show a glance of it with the hood open showing
the motor. I hope that showing an Early doesn't scare people away from the
show. Points and mechanical fuel pumps are better too!! Fire away.

 While watching Speed TV, there's been an ad for their series "101 Cars You
Must Drive". The commercial at one point shows a Blue Corsa Coupe. The
series premieres on June 23, and each episode repeats about 3 times before
the next episode starts. Anxious to see how the car is presented. Should be
interesting.
