Nah, its got a bit silly recently.
The boxster episode put me off. They bought it for £1000 because the gearbox was slipping in auto mode and the owner let it sit for 4 years becuase he thought it would be to expensive to fix. (without seemingly checking what was wrong)
The oil needed changing.
Plus the cars are never the versions you are interested in, always the absolute boggo spec. Lancia delta, it was the 8v, not the 16. DB7 was the straight 6, not the v12. Etype was a knackered, fat series 3. Finally they got a really cheap morgan, all that needed doing was to change the chassis (150+ man hours)
And they dont factor in Ed’s labour into the costs. Fine if they make a few k on a car, less so if they ‘make’ £100.
Still watch it though…
Edit, yeah do like fast and loud, though it does seem to be going down the ‘American Chopper/Discovery channel’ route of starting off small and cool, to being a huge corporate behemoth, they’re already doing a few ‘theme’ builds, with lots of sposorship/product placement creeping in.
If you’re still not convinced, watch the episode where they take a crash damaged F40 and turn into an F40 that as even better than original.
That episode(s) made me sad. F40s should be kept original. IMO obvs.
