Introducing Velocity!

09/19/2011

Established in Late 2011, this turbocharged channel Upgrades HD Theater's Car Programming with Diverse New Original Series and Specials

Velocity, an upscale male lifestyle network, will feature more than 400 premiere hours of new and returning series and specials showcasing the best of the automotive, sports and leisure, adventure, and travel genres. Hit series currently on HD Theater; including INSIDE WEST COAST CUSTOMS, MECUM AUTO AUCTIONS, CAFÉ RACER, and CHASING CLASSIC CARS, will be pillars of the Velocity primetime lineup. By offering world-class production values and picture quality, Velocity will continue HD Theater's reputation for stunning visuals, established when it became the first-ever all-HD network in 2002.

"Velocity continues Discovery's tradition of maximizing the value of each of its cable platforms. It is going to be a game changer when it officially joins our portfolio of U.S. networks later this year," said David Zaslav, President and CEO of Discovery Communications. "As the first network devoted to the upscale men's market, Velocity will be a hub for viewers within this key demographic, as well as the wealth of advertisers that target them."

Velocity's programming is character-driven, dramatic and engaging. From multi-million dollar auctions and incredible auto makeovers, to high-stakes gaming and insider guides to "the good life," Velocity touches on all the subjects that appeal to the upscale man. The on-air look and feel of Velocity is both timeless and timely, from its neo-classic logo and graphics package, to its prominent usage of rock and roll music.

"In the same way that a car once defined the person who drove it, Velocity will define the viewer who watches it, " said Robert S. Scanlon, Senior Vice President of Velocity. "Whether you are a car aficionado or just someone who prefers fast-paced, high-stakes television, Velocity will become a must-have entertainment destination."

My husband is 68 and a very special person.He has parkinsons is a diabetic and is wheel chair bound.He has just become wheel chair bound this year 2012.He loves his 1988 stepside chev pick-up.
He can't drive but if we could get it lowered and cherried out I could cruise him anywhere he needs to go in the love of his life of course thatS after me (maybe).I'm currently selling my pick-up truck that We bought in 2010 for my retirement to purchase a used van that is set up for a wheel chair.I guess you know how a pick up truck is a man's LOVE.

Hello,There ia so much I could tell you about my husband and everything he has gone through in the 36 years we have been married, but that would take too long! So...My husband has a 1983 Ford F-150 that was the only thing left to him by his father. He has been trying to fix it for years but never has the time or skills needed for such a massive job. I would love to see his truck overhauled by such an awsome crew and the look onmy husbands face would be priceless. Please consider his truck for an overhaul..
Thank you!

Hi. I am writing this message, because the guy that I Love more than anything in this world has a 1974 Camaro, that he gives more attention to than he does to me, he now spends his weekends messing around with his car and I see him once every two or three weeks. He is an advid watcher of the show Overhaulin' and is always going on about how he would Love to get his car work finished (then hopefully we could spend more time together) and how he would be so happy if you guys would even consider the chance of working on it. It would make me ever so grateful and make his dreams come true, which is something that I as a girl who Loves him very much, would be ecstatic to have a part in. I am not gonna go into detail about his health problems, but I will say that they prevent him from making the proper amount of money to accomplish his dream car anytime soon and he is attending a Technical College to try and better himself, which makes me very proud since I inspired him to go to school and now I would Love to be part of his car inspirtation. Thank you for your time and hopefully the consideration. Always, Sarah <3

i would like u to call me i have a 1985 chevy blazer and it need a body work done to it here is my number to call me 814-454-0844 i need your help please

[Lindsay V]

I would be soo grateful if my brother in law could make it on the show.
As long as I've known him, he's been in LOOOVE with cars. He's a mechanic; and like many mechanics he drives a P.O.S., that runs fine nonetheless.

He's always helped everyone else with their vehicles (including replacing my head gaskets) for free. He's so selfless and has been offering friends and family free mechanical labor for as long as I can remember.

He bought an '83 Malibu wagon with his wedding money. However, seeing as he works six days a week, he hasn't got much time to work on it...

Anyway, he's the best brother to have married into my family, and has saved many people time, money, and lots of headache. Everyone would be stoked to see him have a taste of heaven for everything he's done!!

So that's my story, and I'm stickin to it....(plus it's a '83 Malibu, come on, totally would be fun!)
Love you Mikey! :)

My husband has been battling with leukemia and bladder cancer for over 18 years - docs gave him 10 yrs and somehow he just keeps holding on.... he owns a 1962 Dodge Lancer station wagon that he just loves and has always wanted to fix it up. It still runs, but desperately needs some love. I would love to do something extraordinary for him.... Would love to see him behind the wheel one more time.... Joyce

[Mahina Jones]

My husband is a HUGE fan of Overhaulin' and didn't hesitate to inform me you were back on air! My husband is a big car nut, and will mouth off information about cars while we are driving, like I'm supposed to know what he's talking about. He currently has this ridiculous '72 super beetle that is making our poor little carport look like a junk yard!! He got this thing when he was 18, drove it for a couple years and then it sat at his parents house for over ten years. When we bought our home 4 years ago, he hauled the ugly thing right over and parked it in the carport!! He will not part with it, as he tells me he is in love with the thing and wants my poor daughter to drive it when she turns 16. (she's 4) I HATE looking at this thing, and would love nothing more than to get it running and worth more than a kick in the fender! We live in Murray, Utah... any chance you would make it out this way?!?

[Jessica]

Really wish could look back on this channel like the world series of poker that they have on N I missed yesterdays show n can't look back :(

[Huyen Nguyen]

Hi! My name is Huyen..i have never seen your show Overhaulin before until today. I must say that I am very Grateful to have people like the Overhaulin team that do what they do to help people that truly deserves the gift of getting their car costumed like they could possibly dreamed. I have known my boyfriend Will for 5 years now..we were coworkers and friends but just recently made our relationship final 6 months ago. The whole time that i have known him..he has been very hard-working, caring, loving to his son (24) and daughter (25). he has been a single parent for about 15 years since his wife left him and his kids. We recently brought him a 1975 Stingray Corvette and he loves it! but there are a lot of work to be done to the car. With him getting laid off from his job after 8 years. there are not much we can afford to buy for him to do EVERYTHING he wants on it. All his life he has taken care of people, worrying about how to make ends meet..I just felt like its time that good Carma comes back to him. please consider helping him out..he loves old hot rode cars and he would love it if i am able to get you guys to come and fix up his corvette!

Sincerely,
Huyen

Hi, my husband is a car fanatic. He owns a 68 Lemans he wants to convert to a GTO and a 86 z28. He collects all these cars in hopes to one day restore them but he works a lot and we have seven children that takes up all his time and money. He has gotten some work done to the Lemans but he was ripped off. the paint job is poor. I would like to give him a piece a heaven just as he does for us by being a wonderful husband and father.

I hope this note can be passed on to the Velocity Channel film crew
who were shooting at the Shelby Cobra Reunion in Pomona, CA on
April 20th for an up-coming program on Velocity.
One of the crew members saw my photographs of the Shelby King Cobra
driven by Dave MacDonald in 1963. He said he would like to use it and
possibly do an interview with me to illustrate it's history.

I would by happy to cooperate in any way to make this happen,

Thank you, Allen Kuhn (310) 390-3178

More Renaissance Man, Chasing Classic Cars, Wheeler Dealers Please.
Oh, very well. Run 6 hours of Mecum auctions. I never tire of seeing those 60's dinosaurs. (yawn).

Hi, My father has been watching your show for awhile now, The other day he noticed that you are looking for people that need or deserve to have their car's overhauled. Well, do I have the person for you. His name is James and he is a 19 year old high school senior. 3 years ago his dad bought a 1956 Chevy Bel-Air 4 door for them to restore but never have time to work on it. James is a wonderful young man who is going to school to be a teacher/coach. He is always doing for others and NEVER asking for anything in return. He is not the top of his class as far as grades go, but he is tops to everyone that knows him. He works hard and has worked hard enough in school to get accepted to East Carolina University in the Fall, this is based on his academics, not his athletic abilities (he's 6'2" and 305lbs--he plays football). I am the luckiest mother ever to have a son like him. He goes to school, works on the horse farm, helps with his siblings and makes time for his family and friends. Getting this car overhauled by you would be a gift no money could buy ever!! His dad and I do not have the time or funds needed to make this happen for him. He is the most wonderful young man you will ever meet. Please pick his car for an overhaul. He DESERVES it and so much more. Thank you for your consideration. God Bless
