Fast And Loud, Extreme Car Hoarders, Wheeler Dealers.

Who watches what? :confused:

Fast & Loud got to be my favourite for many reasons, Extreme Car Hoarders is a new one, only two shows in, first one not so good, second better but I do think its one to watch and will get better. :agree:

As for wheeler Dealers, I watch it, but that crap that comes out of Mike's mouth just makes me want to mute the TV till he off the screen, and will he ever learn how to hand shake? :laugh:

Used to like America Hot Rod too back in the day, but that went to pot when he died. :scared:

Discuss... :cool:

Wheeler dealers is good, but Brewer grinds my shit. He was alright in the early ones, but he's morphed into some fat mockney who looks like he's been involved in an explosion at a wotsit factory.

Way too scripted. And for once I'd love to see ed covered in shit and grease like i am when I finish work.

Mike: "Ed is looks just how it did when I dropped it off"

Ed: "that's because all of the work I've done has been underneath the bonnet"

That conversation happens every episode. Ridiculous.



I like shipping wars and also like American restoration. I like chasing classic cars too.

What I don't get is he bangs on about it not being ruined with after market stuff, kits etc then goes and puts all that crap over the RX7 and says how great it now is etc. :rolleyes:

Is a lot of drama and not much of the build like you've said. Last nights build looked pretty good, but not really anything shown of the actual work involve, still will watch it tho. :laugh:

Wheeler dealer was average again, was hoping to see another decent sporty car being done. :(

I remember seeing on eBay a year or two ago a grey 5 GTT for sale with it saying about being a TV show rebuild and whoever comes to see it would be filmed etc, no mention what program that was and not seen anything about that since! Anyone know anything or just poor sales tactics? :confused:

The short guy with tattoos? If it's the one I'm thinking they do some good work, work shop massive too! :cool: A lot of celeb people dropping their cars in etc.

I've still gotta say, Fast and Loud aka Gas Monkey Garage, is still by far my favourite! :cool: Even tho you may not see much of the build some times etc, it's just well put together show and RR makes good viewing. I'm in the states late August, and about two hours away from Texas, might road trip it to their work shop, plus the Mrs has got a thing for Richard so won't be hard to convince her for a detour. :laugh:

well classic car rescue was wicked tonight
anyone else see this excellent vw camper

got car sos with another camper to watch now,

also the mini on for the love of cars was great too, but sat slighty higher at the front:scratch::scratch: #weird:laugh::laugh:

I think they didnt get the front suspension trumpets in correctly, theres no way that should have sat that high. Still cracking show though.

I was just amazed at the prices the cars actually fetched at auction when the show was all finished. That delorean went for a small fortune. I remember seeing one for sale at a local garage for £12k a few years back and I was tempted to buy it myself. Wish I had done now!

Yep I saw that on their facebook page. Strange assortment of cars there, and surprised to see yet another old VW on the list - but mind you, Edd does like his old VW`s.

WD is getting really really popular with the US market now after they have been heavily marketing it over there, hence them bunging some US cars in.

Awesome!

Although the last season was a bit bad when he bought that upset womans dead fathers Pantera and she only sold it to them cheap as he promised to restore it and even fly her down to see the restored car........ then 5 mins later he flogs it to a couple of other guys for a massive profit. I thought that was a bit out of order.

I was lucky enough to fly to Dallas back in May with my work, and was only about 10 miles from their shop. Unfortunately didnt get time to venture over, but was pleased to see they had a Gas Monkey Bar & Grill actually inside the Dallas airport now, so could get a pint & a burger whilst i waited for my plane home!

Yep, started in the US last weekend I believe, so they are slightly ahead of us, but not by much.

Interesting that the WD Trading up Season 2 is starting in the US first, but then they did heavily pitch Season 1 at the US market (every sale they muttered about how much it was costing in dollars etc). Maybe they have taken a shine to Mike "hold out yaaaa hand!" Brewer!

apparently they have taken a liking to him but while ed was working in the garage on the cars for wheeler dealers mikes doing the trading up as hes on his own, ive got the first episode of trading up but not watched it yet I got it off torrent, episode 2 should be out too now, episode 1 starts in Australia where he buys a mint mk1 escort and brings it back to England to fix up and sale, ill probably watch later tbh

goobs is away atm in the us himself that's why hes not posting on his own thread atm:laugh::laugh::smokin:

As a side note, that green lambo they got from Poland is back up for sale in this months edition of Classic Car magazine for £55k.

Yeah I did mention it to him but as you say it would prob need to be a car that was tidyish to start with and had a few minor faults.He's really normal and friendly I met him at the autosport show at the NEC in Birmingham.
