Its TV, it ain't real !!! Can't see why people watch it, its for sheep in my opinion.

Same as scrapheap challenge, was filmed over three day, each member of the team was given a plain coloured t-shirt each day of filming, so it could be editted together semi seamlessly, also has a team hiding stuff on the heap, and making stuff for them behind the scenes, con really but watchable, those car cowboys are cringworthy

 

[norsa]

Baaaaaa. I've picked up one or two mechanical tips from watching such programmes.

It was around 2002, i was on the film crew so probably didn't meet your mate, there were some very eccentric people there

 

[DrNik]

i purchased everything when the show finished, dewalt kit everywhere, compressors,pillar drills, clothing,waterproofs fire underwear, think ive still got some banners here

 

[stuvy]

there certainly was a few "interesting people"

he was an expert on a few challenges and did the wheelie'ing reliants and a few other bits

it looks like his business isnt there anymore or id post a link

 

[Jim_gsxr1000]

Was ok to start with but getting worse as the seasons go on

Saw a repeat recently where they 'updated' a small Suzuki 4WD. Spent quite a bit of time & money on it, then took it for an MOT. Failed on rotton bodywork. Wouldn't you thought they would have checked it out before buying, never mind before starting work. Real Arfur Daly mob.

I don't think Ed China's too bad actually. Have you seen Car SOS on the national geographic channel, now that's bodgery.

or The Garage.they couldnt get an electric hood to work on an E36 convertible,so screwed it shut with self tappers.in exchange for actual money.

 

[DrNik]

i reckon its all ****** they cant actually sell it to a member of the public, i watched david dickenson's real deal and it showed a auction saleroom computer and a mr d dickenson was the winning bidder, wonder who that might have been

I quite enjoy Edd (Mike's a d!ck though) and there's obvious limitations in any auto restoration show. My particular Clubman Estate project is nearing its second anniversary which would make for slow telly watching.

I do revel in little gloating session when watching car shows now, knowing what I've learnt. "Them's wood screws, you muppet!" "Nah, should've gone back to bare metal" etc etc. Edd's better than the rest of 'em.

I haven't had the opportunity to see Car SOS yet, I was due to do it with my old mate Dave Haskell but didn't like the way it was going so I walked, Dave walked shortly after, Is it as bad as I thought it would be ???
