Car SOS

[Russ]

I know it's not exactly Porsche related, but this is a great series I saw on YouTube I think there's 8 episodes so far - it's a great 'feel good' show where they take cars in need of restoration and do them up for deserving owners

 

Fuzz Townshend advertises in Octane magazine a lot, and does a lot of quality work (also writes as the technical editor for Practical Classics magazine) and I love how Tim takes the piss out of him for being the drummer in 'pop will eat itself' lol (and one of my favourite groups, 'Bentley Rhythm Ace'

 

Tim Shaw used to be a presenter on Fifth Gear, and is a full on petrol head.

Yep, this aired last year or early this year, watched all the episodes.

 

It was quite entertaining and almost on par with Wheeler Dealers, which I might add has just started again!!!

 

only 24 Hrs until the next episode. The first car for was a Lamborghini Uracco from Poland.

 

I've been watching Fast n Loud, Counting cars and Turn & Burn.

 

good ole 'merican truth manipulation about how easy it is to 'flip' cars.

 

WD is my all time favourite though.

Thanks for posting Russ.

 

I've watched the first and that was quite enjoyable.

 

I lived in London in the late 80's and the Ford Cossie was almost more to insure then the value of the car, unless you were over 50 and had an unblemished driving history.  The high insurance killed the values of the car.  Being top of the list for joy riders did not help re insurance.

WD is my all time favourite though.

Must be the cockney blood in my sump
