    It is rare to find someone with encyclopedic knowledge of rare cars who can walk through a show (trailed by videographer) spouting history, anecdotes, tales of test drives etc. I am studying these to see how they could be done best, as I realize video journalism is a whole different ball park than the printed word For one thing the host does not introduce himself with a brief look at his book credits, special interest in certain brands etc, so you wonder who is this bloke? (In one he says he is a judge at Pebble but in another filmed at The Quail he is more vague about his role in judging) Another criticism is the clothes (pure schlub) In both I saw, he runs out of time about 80% of the way through and just starts rapidly naming what car is driving by "BMW Z8," etc. Still it is a vision of various events from an expert's POV so you can decide what event you want to attend.

    I think it is rare to find someone like that, but I happen to know two folks who can do exactly that. And at Pebble Beach, probably not so rare to find someone with such skills. I'm sure there's a lot more out there!
