it’s like a cockney version of American Chopper et al, 2 bosses constantly argue and slag each other off, and a ‘team’ of workers who just seem to get bollock’d all the time

anybody see it??

yet again the 2 twunts fell out, sacked the workers, broke the windscreen on purpose, fabricated a problem with the dizzy, bla bla bla

it's so utterly ridiculous that i'm beginning to enjoy it in the same way as i enjoyed watching the Chuckle Brothers with my kids

my points to note:

we want to buy an American car, where shall we go? i know, fananarama Ottawa

a restored mustang is worth 18-28 thousand dollars. and the rest

a coat of primer. that'll save time on a car that's a complete horror show. since when was the sill structure on a monocoque a subframe?

fananarama load of welding on a rusty convertible on a wheels free lift with no bracing. no wonder the doors didn't fit at the end. i'm surprised they would even open. but it's ok because plonking the screen in the frame shows it's straight. oh whoops. to me, to you, to me, to you. i don't fananarama believe it

miraculous self-healing door has to be worth a mention. as is that lucky escape with the hydraulic ram for the roof after Bernie "machined" it, "it's got an f on it, that means it'll fit" no Marco, i think f is for ****wits in this case

engine rebuild looked a classy job. really liked the use of the sanding disc on the gasket faces. that'll get 'em nice and flat. i'd love to know what he would have done with the seized lump if it had freed off using vinegar

i'm actually quite enjoying it now

Great synopsis there Si

Like you, I cringe at what they do but look forward to seeing it every week just to see how many genuine and staged cock-ups they do on each car. Mario need some acting lesson tho as that windscreen-dropping incident wasnt very convincing

Did you notice the damage to the driver's side door when they first uncovered the car in their workshop? It wasnt there when he bought the car.... maybe they thought there wasnt enough wrong with it already so it needed a bit more work to fill out the hour

Mind you, that was before he spotted the small spot of rust in the sills

At least they were seen to be replacing the rot with new sheet metal on this one - we didnt see much of that type of work being done on that MG which was just as bad if not worse!

The programme lived up to my expectations, I still feel that I would have to just batter the bald Bananarama! as soon as he opened his gob. The acting is getting worse on the staged stuff, could have saved themselves time & money on the windscreen with a quick search, http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw ... windshield & as for doing any sort of welding on a 2 post lift, a mate of mine "restored" a Triumph Herald convertible on a 2 poster, new floor pans, sills, the lot, some 20 years ago, had to use a portapower to "adjust" it in order to get the doors back on!

I can't watch that show. It's the visual equivilent of someone scratching their nails down a blackboard.

I watch very little TV, but took time to check the muzzy resto out...I wanted to start throwing things at the telly, but persisted.

I wish I hadn't.

Yes they have to give it away.......As no one would pay money for it.

Whoever wins it will be lumbered with it, as though i can see some other shows are staged and some issues covered up (wheeler deelers), i actualy consider the cars i've seen these guys do, to be virtually worthless when done.

Who would pay money for a car that was restored by 2 blind monkeys!

Just watched the caddy episode on catchup... I know hes annoying but I enjoyed it.... At least they are yank cars and most of the show concerns the resto rather than family bust ups etc. Not the best quality, certainly not chip foose but as I said before, beats Eastebders and Coronation st!!
