Fast And Loud, Extreme Car Hoarders, Wheeler Dealers.

Who watches what?

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.

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?

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

Discuss...

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.

[Bunje]

fast and loud has to be my favorite. i like wheeler dealers but i thin ive seen them all.

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.

[Alex]

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.

[B18ftMOJO5]

yup chasing classic cars is good and fast n loud. lol my kids call anything car related "daddy's channel"

[Matt Cole]

I watched Extreme Car Hoarders last night. The concept is great, but dear god the American dramatics ruin it for me! You hardly see the car build, its all drivel and scripted shite!

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.

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?

Does he? I'm not sure he has dude

[markg]

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.

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?

[James5]

Just finished watching it also was a good programme I enjoyed it. Alot about history but the mexico is a historic car.

[R5MJH]

Restoration Garage episode 1 @ 10pm Nat Geo

[Jeff Ninebar]

I've spent the last 3-4 weeks watching all the Street Customs Episodes (West Coast Customs) on their youtube channel as I dont have sky. Theres a bit of bullshit on there but mainly they just make some sick custom cars. well worth a watch as the quality of work is shit hot.

[Goobie]

Restoration Garage episode 1 @ 10pm Nat Geo

It's on the planner, but had to link record the repeat at 1am as got two things on at 10pm. I wanna see the Bugatti done. Was a lot of chopping between projects, but il watch them all as gives me inspiration and ideas.

The short guy with tattoos? If it's the one I'm thinking they do some good work, work shop massive too! 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! 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.

That's the one , Ryan is the owner and yeah their workshop is massive, the cars they done for Gary Dourdan are sick.

[R5MJH]

what cars are on the shows this week goobs

[Goobie]

Don't know, in muggy London at the mo. don't think il be back before the three hour monday car program mathron starts!

My body shop pal was saying he saw that escort last summer being test driven doing laps around his industrial estate, so that program defently got its workshop in Eastbourne. Maybe over the next couple of show il be able to sus out where and go have a nose and maybe hassle them todo a 5.
