Definitely worth watching but a bit light on the technical side,going for a broad audience I'm thinking.Mandy's gagging for next weeks show about an old Landrover,I'm enthusiastic until I have to go anywhere in it....too agricultural for me although I can appreciate the functionality and it'll probably last forever(rebuild every 10years :lol: )

Was certainly better than the Classic car rescue that was done with the dodgy London and American geezer.

However would have loved them to sell off the vehicles like the above show, who would argue about owning a Mk1 Escort Mexico for £2 :D Sure they would easily get their money back on the cars.

I think they all got auctioned through Coys! It's a world away from the classic car rescue thing but more technical would be ace.

Whole series has been worth watching :thumbsup

It does give rise to dirty thoughts about going back to old flames though :oops: :roll:

I've watched each episode on my weekly commute to Landan on a Tuesday morning and it never fails to put me in a good mood. For me it strikes the right balance in terms of entertainment and technical stuff but then I'm an idiot.

It's also somewhat unique in that there is actually 45 mins of content rather than 25 mins padded out..... Something I'm noticing more and more that I'm watching so much on demand content.
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.

....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Agree, great show, but did think there were a few questionable choices of car - Triumph Stag?.. maybe even the Delorian. Was enjoyable none the less. I did enjoy all the story behind Delorian.

Looking forward to the final show to see what they actually get for each car.
