D-banger Posted 24September, 2013 Report Share Posted 24September, 2013 Is this why imports from the UK are cheaper??? That's a joke. All that filler though. Feeling it for the eventual owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepo Posted 24September, 2013 Report Share Posted 24September, 2013 I enjoyed watching it Doug, no doubt a few surprises for the end user. 77 with a 3.2 engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasserkuhl Posted 24September, 2013 Report Share Posted 24September, 2013 I found this show to be very annoying. A Guy on the IB forum is the original owner of this car. The end valuations are just wrong. Knowing the UK market intimately, the values placed on the cars are totally un-realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-banger Posted 24September, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 24September, 2013 I may never buy a used car again! Quite. I found it a bit painful, not because of the unrealistic valuations, but more for the "bodge it and leg it" means in which the car was restored. It reminded me of Arthur Daley form "The Minder". I don't thing the word "rescue" in the title is appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't thing the word "rescue" in the title is appropriate. Leave it out Arfur. Its fair to say that this is acceptable practice in the motor industry. "What you don't know, is what you don't know..." I guess it was better than Dancing with the stars , the Batchelor and My Kitchen Rules. Maybe.

webrest Posted 24September, 2013 Report Share Posted 24September, 2013 My, my, our Bernie is a piece of work isn't he. Rabbi Goldenfarb isn't going to be too happy about those tattoos that he is sporting. Bernie's Yiddisha mama's dreams of him becoming a doctor are falling a long way short of expectations. I suppose he is a doctor of sorts. He will stitch anybody up. Boom Boom Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 7October, 2013 Report Share Posted 7October, 2013 I just watched this again - seeing them take the impact bumpers out of the car and lol at the "mechanic" thinking it was a cut and shut - what a weird spot to do it if it was welded together?!?! OMG!! like a car!!! I'm now wondering about painting galvanised cars - how far do you sand back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caver Posted 9October, 2013 Report Share Posted 9October, 2013 I found it a tiresome display of bullying, over-inflated egos and aggression. And what's with these time limits all the time? Not my cup of tea. That's one television series I don't think I'll bother to continue following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myred911 Posted 10October, 2013 Report Share Posted 10October, 2013 Hi caver, Totally agree with your comments, I just wanted to focus on the work done, instead was assaulted with hissy-fits and poor workmanship. Hardly riveting, instead just a battle of egos.... Such is the quality of TV at the moment. rEd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 10October, 2013 Report Share Posted 10October, 2013 Well that was painful. Only thing I did like was the colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Posted 10October, 2013 Report Share Posted 10October, 2013 Watched a couple of the show and clearly the producers were hoping on entertainment value with the staged blow ups rather than focus on accurate technical content, sadly they missed the target on both counts.
