Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

just watched the nurnbergring episode last night, great program.
non of this false jepardy, constant swearing, fights, set up damage or breakdowns ect.
how a motoring program should be, the yanks and some brits who make these sorts of progrmas could do with taking note as almost all of their car related programs are best seen and not heard.
i have enjoyed all of his programs, pity him and edd china could not make one together and just do the car mods and repairs like us car nuts want, not pander to the 5 min attention span of most tv veiwers.
the new salvage hunters classic cars programs do not seem to have much to do with the actual cars they buy apart from a few scenes of fixing them up.

I've seen one or two of his programmes - the Spitfire one, and the Vulcan one. The only problem for me is that I can't bear to listen to him - not his accent, just that he has this way of saying things more than once that sets my teeth on edge. Just a personal view, he's popular enough that obviously not many people share it.

I think I did catch a bit of the programme you're talking about, it was on in the pub before Christmas if it's the same one. That wasn't bad, but they had the sound turned down.

I enjoy Guy Martin's programs very much. At least he talks the talk and has hands that have done a hell of a lot of actual work. He certainly does not come across like a hair dresser with a script.

He was almost moved to tears when he had his ride in the two seater Spitfire.

Its weird being the same age as old people.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution
