The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.
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:

Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.
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.

Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.

None of the above.
And for the record, brewer makes me want to hurt society.
If you're a real car guy you'll appreciate 'Roadkill'
It's done by two guys from hotrod magazine in the US and is only available on YouTube.
Best car show of all time EVER

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:

LOL cracked me up when he bought it back for £9500 OK intercooler / rad setup was nice think they said £900 and remap not sure on price but apexi ecu used so all in prob £1k for ecu and map (they could have got that power on a std ecu map). The guy was done
I used to like watching the hot rod one (boyd coddingtons garage) the floor manager was a right ****er in it think his name was Dwayne

Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.
The guy that remapped the RX7 "Pip" is the guy that runs WGT where we've had rolling road days in the past. He really knows his stuff.
You missed another one though......
Chasing Classic Cars. Really good.

Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.

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:

Does he? I'm not sure he has dude
-
Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.
The blue one with the yellow interior was kicking around on ebay a few years back. I remember Roland from GT Tuning telling me he had in it for some work and it wasn't in the best of shape. That was probably 10+ years ago.

Just finished watching it, was more about the history than the build, but worth watching. :agree:
There was a clip with him saying he heading to the work shop and you see him driving down the road and couldn't help but noticed he was driving down the other end of my road! So the work shop must in Eastbourne? :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:

Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.
Been working my way though Mondays recored car night. :laugh:
Bennie really does give me a headache. :scared: I think he just loves moaning? :confused: I don't get this all "can they make a profit" as they give away the bloody car anyway! :laugh:
Sundays "for the love of cars" or whatever it's called was surprisingly good I must say. :agree: It wasn't at the top of my list to watch but I think that Phillp and Ant work fairly well together on screen with the mix matched personally's that made it more watchable. :cool: It's kinda more of the history than the build, looked pretty awesome too. :agree:
Not much to add about Car Hoarders, was last show, properly the only series their film? But does have potential if take out aload of the drama and show more build progress. :)

Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.
Bit limited on the car program's at the moment. :(
New one started last week, Turn & Burn, seems low budget, I've not seen this weeks yet, but it's on the planner for when I get a chance. Last weeks first ep wasn't that great, but maybe a grower as it gets thought the series.
Anyway, Wednesdays at 9pm Discovery &HD Channel 520. :agree:
-
Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.
Not new, but new ish, Sin City Motors, pretty good show, last weeks build was cool.
On tonight at 8pm on "Dave" Channel 213 & "DaveHD" Channel 111. :agree:

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.

Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.
Yeah, I was thinking the same, but that's the car trade for you. :(
That aside, still my favourite car show. :agree: :cool:

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:

:laugh: very true!!!! Got to love a bit of Brewer, although id never buy a car from him seeing some of the judgement calls he`s made in the past with choices of cars to buy.
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.

Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.
Niceone mate, he looks a handy chap on the shows and always good to watch!
They should do a 5 gt turbo resto, - however the programme would probably be so long as it would never be finished! ;)

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.

Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.
Is he tall or are you short? ;)

Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.

Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.
Jeeez!!! No wonder he always struggles to get in the cars on wheeler dealer ;)
-
Re: The Official Discovery & HD Channel Car Build/Restro Thread.
having a 5 on his show would be priceless advertising for the club and 5 gt turbos in general.:agree: lol he is really tall for sure, Ed would probably have to take the driving seat out and sit in the back to be able to drive one.
