—J-car kink!—

   The Retro Car Kings showed was filmed in Japan by Discovery Channel Japan, but the English narrator was hired by Discovery Channel America.
   The final intended market was the English speaking world, so American staff of Discovery Channel from the US home office provided a general outline for the Japanese program including a some of the interview questions. Then Discovery Channel America observed the Japanese filming to create an independent English script for the narration that differed a bit from the Japanese narration.
