anyone ever seen this? first time for me, interesting but so badly scripted it falls on the verge of comical!

clearly made for american audiences.

Watching it now.

Good, but cheesy in parts. Much like Wheeler dealers in a way.

The level of fabrication on some of the projects is actually really shit! Scripted and set up but still entertaining. The bald bloke does my head in thow!!

Saw the first one where they did the E-Type. Its so bad its must watch TV! The first two episodes were filmed over here so its not necessarily for the Americans.

I've watched a fair few of them (E-type, 911 and part of this evening's Mustang resto off the top of my head) and it is more than a bit cringeworthy alot of the time. It gives me a reason to shout at the TV and tell that American fella what I think of him, which is always good after a long day at work to be honest :p

Always amazes me why they have idiots who love the sound of their own voice presenting these shows.

OK maybe not Ed china but the others are wildly OTT about stuff and IMO I dont feel they know what they are talking about.

Would you let Bernie any where near your car, like fuck would I

For some reason, i've watched every episode...

I'm not sure whether they're trying to mimic top gear, in terms of scripting ridiculous "accidents"?

And then theres the constant bust ups between the two guys, as well as the weekley 'bold chap looses his cool, and fires the workers' but then apologises and it's all fine again.

Why can't someone just make a decent car program.
