Classic Car Rescue could have been OK if not for the casting of Large and Larger.

The similarly themed US shows  - American Hotrod, American Chopper, Desert Car Kings are a teensy bit more believable and their contributors have proper tattoos (!) but these 2 muppets barely know how to drive let alone restore a car.  Putting a whale tail on a non Turbo 911 is very 'Top Trumps' ie. juvenile and the production had some fancy graphics generated to show us how the spoiler works.  They should have spent more money casting some proper enthusiasts who can do the spannerwork, writing a proper camera script and finding a decent non-suburban location rather than the decrepit arches under Canons Park Tube station at the end of the Jubilee Line. Very disappointing.

I think the programme is very irritating with the made up arguing , shouting swearing , walking out etc . Bit like X factor !

It makes the X factor look like Newsnight.  Totally faked for the camera, but not even done well.

I didn't enjoy the 911 programme, but gave them another chance for the MGB.  That was just a travesty, putting chrome bumpers on a car with later US-spec suspension.  And the colour! :sick:

They can do what they like to the Mustang - I won't be watching.


Shadow blue DSG 5 door with leather, sunroof, 18" Monzas, MFSW.

I gave up on watching this series after the first two. And especially after watching the excellent "How Britain Works" by biker Guy Martin last night this prog would disappoint me even more.

^^^^ gave up too. Destroying my dream cars is not a good thing to watch! Really enjoyed the prog' with Guy Martin in, as he would say "it's a proper programme".

I must admit I didn't think it was too bad tonight either.

Fell asleep before the end (watching it later on Sky+) so after reading Mr H and Mr O's encouraging words I may try again tonight!  :wink:
