For The Love Of Cars

It is a VW Press car (they bought it and had it lightly restored a few years ago) but still out of order, I agree.

I don't get what's going on with this show now. The first series was great but besides the first episode this season about the AM it seems to have turned into a car SOS type show. The episode with the golf was a nice story, it touched a nerve with me as my son was diagnosed with Leukaemia 9 months ago and I want to get my 205 built so I can take him out in it and share something that I love.

 

The show this week was rubbish. I don't want to see people who are too stupid or lazy to do the work themselves or pay for it to be done getting a free rebuild without all the heartache and trials involved then be handed a big cheque to blow on s*ite.

 

This show can f*** right off. I'm not watching it again.

I like it. I also like Phil due to being a Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes fan.

 

I was hoping for Phil to get a drive in a 205 GTI though.

I was quite surprised when they revealed the reason behind the resto - something sentimental, something historic tied to the owner, etc, nope - £6k+ on an engagement ring for his missus??????

Agreed. They're starting the play the 'pull on the heart strings' card which i was ok with at the start, the geezer with the SD1 was genuinely gutted to see the car go and ecstatic when it went back home, but this week.. Get another job and get on with it like the rest of the world has to, if his Mrs needs a £6k ring then she'd be down the road before the 500 was.

 

Plus. How is it that every week there's a prolific auction in 10 weeks that the cars have to be ready for? And it's always the NEC, and that chap off the resto/reclaiming show is always there.

 

This week you actually saw the SD1 from the previous episode in the background at the auction house, so someone is telling porkies...

If you think that's a flimsy excuse to restore a car for someone, you should have seen Car SOS. Why did the guy who was having a lovely time on the golf course deserve to have his car done up? Terminal Cancer? Busy looking after a disabled family member? Nope! Being made redundant and losing his company car so needed his Beetle doing up so he was able to go to job interviews! When he rocked up to see the finished result he came in his mums car which he was borrowing for the day!

 

Ah well... I feel better now!

Yeah bit of a disappointment this latest series.

[mowflow 67]

I bloody well hope that Ants bloke that did all the restoration work on that 500 presented that plucked eye browed sporting flabby f***tard who wanted to squirt £6k on an engagement ring for Bernard Manning in drag a bill for £7k for all his work.

 

f***ing something for nothing society arseholes.

Why do they keep showing the guy off the other program wearing the flat cap at the auction? The guy who drives his van around the country buying antiques, ( mostly old lights)

Drew Pritchard, has a nice collection of cars.

 

The 500 is on eBay

Struggling with this series and not seeing the point. I agree that the sentimental causes they've helped are good and the Golf in particular was excellent - particularly when they revealed who the buyer was.

 

Otherwise it's lost its way a bit. The auction is/was Coys at Autosport in January so I guess they aimed to restore all the cars in time for that.

 

It's odd - as this show wobbles the latest Wheeler Dealers seems to get better. Real shame as I thought it had potential after series 1.

Wheeler Dealers is ok but still just as fake as it was. They miss showing bits that are obviously replaced then don't detail them in the costings at the end. Mind you, they've always been a load of old rubbish anyway. Love the way they say things like we made a 1k profit, yeah but the labour time Ed spent on it makes it in the red!

 

Oh well, regardless its good for us enthusiasts having a few more car progs on the telly

Just figured out "liking" someone's post saves the bother of posting a similar post, if you know what I mean, unless you have something specifically different to say, I agree, I prefer wheelers and dealers, but I don't get to watch a lot of TV so I'm going back a few years now...
