Loved the Fiat X1/9 they did last series, I have a few memories of one of those many years ago. Going on a promo they have done it looks like Edd China is joining the team, wonder if he goes back to see Dave at Soda Blasting and hogs his equipment again, they couldn't get him off it last time!

I wish they removed the pretend drama from these programs, it's not needed. Also they pretend they do the restoration in a few weeks. Anyone who has ever restored a car knows the bodywork alone can take months alone. A friend who is restoring a Jensen had been waiting 4 months just to get his engine rebuilt and apparently he won't be getting it back for at least a couple more months yet.

When they did the Audi Quattro for the guy with the cancer, it was my friend Phil that gave him the engine for free for the project, a few years ago now, the first Quattro registered in the UK was tracked down by Phil and bought for restoration, it's HYL 4W and is now in Wigan. I did a photo shoot scoop for practical classics on that car if anyone remembers the issue.
The guy that they did the car for didn't make it and lost his cancer battle.

Love the program, I agree that Tim is annoying but thats what the fast forward button is for. That said I believe he is quite a nice guy

I think it was Tim who failed a re-take of his driving test in an old series of 5th Gear. He's not as annoying as he was but I always wonder what the rest of the crew really think of him. Hope Edd China joins the show.

I always have at the back of my mind that it is a programme made for TV, I know Fuzz has a genuine business in Oldbury, but Tim does annoy me too.

When his wife sold his Lotus for 50p was classic

50p Lotus link.

Otherwise I enjoy the show.
