GMballistic Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Nothing planned for TV tonight so that will go down well. Thanks for the heads up. Quote

dugg90 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Just watched the new episode lovely looking car but the restoration costs were eye watering to say the least lol Quote
Siman350z Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Ant's a friend of mine from school- good lad and is cracking at his job. How to generate that much cash doing something you love is quite a talent! 1 Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Ant's a friend of mine from school- good lad and is cracking at his job. How to generate that much cash doing something you love is quite a talent! with a 3yr waiting list .. he must be good Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I've always said if I won the lottery I'd open a car restoration business. I'd love to learn to do stuff like that and then do it for life. Quote
Jetpilot Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) I watched last night because hot hatches were my era. Imho i think the show could potentially be really good, but, would much prefer to see more of the work going on than Phillip Glenister being surly and miserable and seemingly devoid of any interest.

The last series was much better, it's not terrible but like you say could do with a bit more 'hands-on' detail Quote
14N Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) I agree with the above. I think they would make great 'two parters'. The pulling apart etc in the first, with details of the work that's required, then the second hour showing the work that goes into restoring the cars. Still a good show though. Same as Car S.O.S.

Jetpilot Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 I thought it had promise until the point the car was trailered away, then we have what seems like loads of padding out, the car is finished and at auction. I feel sure anyone interested in the car would rather see some of the work progress than PG being suitably grumpy about the whole experience. Quote
DonCool Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Agree also. A bit too much Phil and not enough Ant and team at work. The show would benefit massively from an A-Team stylee fix-up montage at the very least! I want to see welding and grinding and men in overalls sweating and swearing quite a lot coz bits don't fit properly etc. (OK so that was my experience of O level metalwork but I can't believe it is as easy as they make it look!) One minute Ant is poking at rusted bodywork and saying that it is a lot of work, he and Phil go for a drive around the M25 and then suddenly ta-daa! Job done. Still love the show but feel they need to re-balance it slightly. 1 Quote
350zedd Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 They need to replace that Glenister guy, he doesn't appear to be interested in the slightest How about Clarkson instead Quote
veilside z Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Yes he always dampens the mood. Sack crater face and bring some smiles in. Shouldn't be too hard. Good show though. Quote
Siman350z Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Next years series (not sure if it will be the same name yet) Ant is working with James May so should be interesting! 1 Quote
