I absolutely love the series... take away the bullshit and IMO you are left with two enthusiasts who really seem to enjoy what theyre doing!!
Also... i sent an email to Edd China about 2 months ago just saying that i thought his wacky road creations were brilliant and i got a reply from him so a top lad IMO!!
As people have said before you have to take certain aspects of the show with a pinch of salt but on the whole Mike seems a good bloke and Edd seems to know his stuff and neither patronise which i like.
