I've been watching this series, it's pretty good. Enormously cheesy though! Kind of like Classic Car Rescue, except it doesn't make you want to break everything. Good to watch after a couple of beers.

It's jeffing sweet! They just sold it at an auction, and the bloke gave it to his kid! I had an Citroen ax as a first car, not a v8 conti on 22's and air ride.........c**t!!

Cracking program, I can't get enough of it

I'm enjoying it. It's a surprisingly good show and (so far) doesn't seem as staged as some of these things - though the fact they always have a deadline to get to auction is already wearing a bit thin. It's amazing just how many cool cars there are in the states and how many projects there are out there like last week's '64 Galaxie on the old boy's farm. I thought it might be a shame to mess with that lincoln but it did end up looking great. PS Anyone else notice that when the main bloke's talking to the camera, he talks faster and his voice gets higher and higher?!

I thinks it's the best car show out at the moment, nothing staged or bullcrap. Compared to classic car rescue that makes me swear at the tv every 30 seconds!

I'm quite enjoying it, although I think they chose the wrong wheels for the lincoln...if they'd have gone for smaller wires (or Astro Supremes like the Fairlane last week!) they wouldn't have needed to make the arch changes which I thought looked a bit questionable. Good show. The beardy chap certainly seems to know his stuff.

It's a great show, seen the whole season now, it's already been confirmed for a 2nd season and they are also doin a biker build off against Jesse James and the Tuttles from American Chopper, which should be cool

At last... a vehicle modification show that isn't full of hateful idiots screwing up and shouting abuse at each other. Aside from Wheeler Dealers it's just about the only car programme I can currently stomach. What a refreshing change to see people who actually appear to know what they're doing!

So do they ever make a profit? Yep. Watched one the other week where they made quite a substantial profit just by moving on a Willys Coupe gasser. Absolutely love Sue too, crazy Chinese lady.

First new episode was on last night. They keep with the same formula, but are hinting that there are changes coming. I hope not too much. There are more guys in the shop now. They seem to be keeping it real, at least for now.
They do up a 65 Mustang convertible. Quite the plot twist at the end. I won't spoil it for you.
