7mate Motor Mate at 3pm

I just noticed in the TV guide that 7mates Motor Mate show is doing FASTEST FORDS today at 3pm. Bit late notice, but I'll chuck the telly on and have a look while 'working'
 
"FASTEST FORDS. Take a look at some of the quickest Fords around today as twenty of the UK's Classic Fords, such as the RS200 rally car and a Escort Cosworth go head-to- head at a test track."

Yerr it was entertaining with the 'Supervan' 1 and 2, also near the end where a mk1 Escort Cossy pulled a massive powerslide onto the airfield runway heading up a top speed of 170mph as the driver points to the tacho thru the steering wheel(at 170) laughing.
 the dvd is called Fastest Fords, a century of speed (RS200 on cover).

Damn!  Didn't log in in time to see this message, so missed it.  What a lame time to repeat it too.

I have done a tv scan and on ch73 Monday 3pm is the Classic Targa Adelaide. 3pm Tues has Rally Tour De Course, worth a watch as has the brilliant GroupB supercars. 3pm Wensdy has Lancia Delta 1987 San Remo Rally. Fridy 3pm is back at San Remo , then at 4.30 is a Targa Tas classic. Might not be much Escort rally action but worth watching or recording these shows..

they did a whole episode on escorts about a month ago, the history of them and how they came to be, lots of great rally action and some extremely cheesy british commerials for them

There's a video on Youtube called Fastest Fords that goes for 1h30m here:
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlThrSCvXhA
 
The .mp4 file I downloaded is 638px x 360px so the quality isn't too bad.  Would someone who's seen the show on 7mate please take a look and let us know whether it is the same program?
 
Thanks.

Yep, that's the one. I recorded the Escort specific episode and have been waiting for the Capri and Cortina episodes, but may have missed them. I got the Mustang one also.

Was the show any good?  I ask because I found out the hard way that 7mate broadcasts in 1080i, which my machine can't record.  D'oh!
