The way they shoot the episodes is what does it. I watched the Ferrari DVD so damned loud last weekend that when I finally looked around I realized my wife had taken both of my daughters out for ice cream. Jamo, I agree there may not be enough Cobra content to fill an entire show--at least not for the casual viewer--but I'd be happy if they did one with Cobras, Mustangs, Tigers, Panteras, and GT40s. That ought to fill an hour or so.

The quality of the cars, the setting, and the way de Cadenet actually drives them I think are the key. The Porsche episode is probably the weakest but it was the first, and they chose to include much more archival footage than in the later programs. The Jaguar DVD is a neat one, if you haven't caught that one yet. XK13, Lister Le Mans Coupe, XJ220, Silk Cut XJR-5, aside from all of the earlier sports cars, make for a neat program. Some find de Cadenet annoying but personally I find his enthusiasm pretty infectious.
