once more the story of vin 903847

Sorry to waste your time.....but I thought somebody started a thread about this documentary but now I can't find it. I am not a huge TV watcher but this is a show that I really want to watch....
Any body remember seeing this thread or am I going nuts?
Are you guys interested in this story of the 55 VW beetle traversing the world multiple times?

Canada only?

According to some of the VW websites, this show might be in Canada only.

I hope it's in the U.S. also....

I just searched the listings on my cable box, it doesn't show up.

On edit: If you go to the Youtube link, it also lists it being on "Bravo" However, the US Bravo schedule shows "Real Housewives of Atlanta"

My DVR did not find it at all. I suspect it is not going to be broadcast here.

Just watched this. Very interesting. The show was 30 minutes with no commercials, should have been an hour long though to fill in a few holes. These cars a tough as hell.

I was very touched with the story.....the way the original owner caressed that car at the reunion.....I get that.....Most of us here would get that. It should be popping up on youtube sometime soon, well worth the watch.

Your inquiry seems to relate to Discovery Canada. Discovery Channel Canada

Canada are Canadian produced. Discovery Fit & Health Channel and Animal
Planet also contain different programming in Canada. We recommend emailing
our Discovery Networks in Canada at comments@discovery.ca with your
comments.

You can also reach Discovery Canada at 1-416-332-5000 for information about
programming or by visiting their website at Discovery | Science & Technology | Watch Online | Gold Rush, Highway Thru Hell, Daily Planet.

Thank you again for expressing your interest in our programming.

Sincerely,

No, jackass, that is not what I asked. I asked if it will be airing here. Not that difficult a question.
