This is a local programme. Made me laugh. Bit of a change from 'Fast & Loud' or 'Fantom works'. She'slovely, but you may need subtitles on. A few strong accents going on. I struggled and I live here.

I love old tractors so will have a look at this.

I wouldn't want to drive one but I really would love to try to restore one. My only issue when I see them at shows etc is the way they are painted. I know its accurate but when they assemble everything and then just spray the whole thing grey, green or red etc, my OCD kicks in and frys my head. I know it's not accurate but the starter and other bits would have to be nicely restored and put on after painting etc....what is wrong with me!!!!

Thanks for posting and stay safe in lockdown no2

Cheers Steve

Cheers Steve, in the 1st episode they are supposed to take a 1000hp engine and up it to 2500hp but i don't seem to remember them doing any engine work except painting rocker covers, although i prob had a few gins by then.
