I know this has been posted on the forums over the years, but iv just been reminded of it on discovery channel.
Any one own/owned one of the 2 306's on this? the Diablo's plate seem familier?
Also watch out DT blow HG's every 50k :/
For those who havent seen it
(306's are on the 1st part of the vid)

I know its all alot of bollocks, and they dont tell you half of what they do or the details of the car, and blatantly dont make profit.
But you cant fault Ed's workmanship and organisation

yeah, but some of his practices i dont agree with, one being buzz gunning up wheel nuts, that springs to mind
the premise of the show is fixing a car up to make profit, the biggest 'profit' they ever made was only a few grand, and they had to spend a shitload to get that! most of the time its only a few hundred, but that's all they tell you about. rememebr that episode where they had a 911 and needed a new gearbox for it? they went to a place in kent for it, porsche specialist. my old housemate's dad owns that. they said they paid £2000 for the gearbox, plus trading in their old one. it wasn't, it was £2500, which was their entire profit gone on that car.
also, that scooby they ruined with the autographed racing stripes? bellends.
i think the most annoying bit is how they try and dumb down how stuff works so the average viewer can understand it. but they dumb it down so much, that they actually make it wrong.
rant over, i watch the show, but it makes me so angry!
oh and Niall, I just want you for your body.

Thing is that show isnt made for people like us, it is made for people who dont have a clue, and i supose it works people do believe it,
Factor in Ed's labour time in anyway the are £1000's out of pocket each time

yeah exactly, spose i hate it cuz i think about all the hidden costs they dont talk about, and know they spends hundreds of pounds on things you can get for a fraction of what they pay.
other than the show being a complete farce (i was really shocked when they went to the states and included mike's travel in the budget), mike is still a bellend, anything i've seen him on on the telly just annoys me lol
maybe i just hate the c*nt and there's no consoling me

But do you think you hate him because you fancy him but cant have him?? hhhmmm
But yes your right it is a farce, but if you can get past it and just take it for what it is it is an ok program, better than alot of other shite thats on tv.
But with the whole USA thing, i dont think those cost are any where near correct,
They made a reall tidy job of the mustang though, you have to give them that
I think they need to do away with the whole cost/profit/resale thing, and make it about restoring / making cars better, a show to show what you could do instead

yeah, i can still watch it, and it entertains me, at the same time as enraging me lol
that they did, i was impressed with the mustang, and the charger, both very well done. i doubt they took his transport cost while he there, or accommodation into account, but ho hum.
oh deffo, be much better then, less of the bullshit and more about keeping cars on the road

I f*cking. hate. Ed.
I hate him and his stupid oversized long sleeved tshirts and his ridiculous hair cut, and the fact that he's blatantly not worked in a garage for a LONG time. Can you imagine him in your average blue collar back street garage?
Naw, he's been through posh college and done the nice clean "eww it's a bit oily, soak it in TFR before you touch it" school

I like the show, and I find Ed China entertaining. Agreed, Mike is an annoying little man though...
Yeah they do dumb things down that's for sure, but I imagine it does make it more accessible. The amount of times they don't even make a profit is ridiculous. At least they do everything properly though, with the exception of stoopid ones like the Scooby.

Of course it would. It'd also be nice to have the money to do what they do. But as we all know, realistically it's not worth the effort that gets put in for a mere couple of hundred quid.
Ed China is a nancy boy and I hate him.
