Agreed, it's all got a bit boring to be fair, the bikes all seem to be built on the mac and a flowjet

American Hotrod was good when all the original people were there, Charlie, Mike, Bluebear etc, but now it seems to be a load of timid lads. Boydd is a complete coooont, he is the double of my old boos, personality and loooks, so close it is scary

Overhaulin, now if they could scrap the tosse of a presenters and get more focuses on Chip builing quality motors that would be one to really watch. His abilty to build a car that looks like it was made like that is awsome.

Wrecks to Riches USA is ok, but the barry is such a gimp, and so wet

occ build bikes for normal stuff
the sho concentrates on the stuff paul and co do for the big time debuts etc but i do think some of their stunts are a bit planned

overhaulin is good, and it's getting better as the shows go along, the pranks are well funny when you watch them

american hotrod is bollocks
boyd puts down unrealistic time scales and that dwayne is a class a cunt, walks around as if he owns the place and just fucks everyone off
boyds son, chris, looks like he's going to turn into a nother clueless cunt who has more money than sense

wrecks to riches on the other hand, is a nice bit of programming where he just throws money at a project and hopes it'll sell

and then you go down the scale and see things like wrecks to riches uk, where dominic littlewood thinks he can fix a car on the cheap, or auto trader/wheeler dealers where the cockney cock and the lanky plank think that spending a week in your own garage makes up for the cost of doing the work themselves

A+ for enthusiasim but an F for actually living in the real world

Overhaulin' is the one thats gone off the boil, used to be shit hot! Now it's just same old again...

American Hotrod is just an utter waste of time, that Boyd Coddington is an utter cunt! So is Dwayne!

American Chooper is still the best one out the lot of them! I've got it on now!

Point fof future reference.



American Chopper has not gone off the boil. It was ALWAYS stone cold in the kettle!

FFS They dont actually do anything on those bikes, save for weld on a few brackets. They are all pre-made frames. And pre-made fenders. They don't paint them even. They ALWAYS look tacky and shite at the end. And the workmanship is terrible. Jay Leno's broke after a few hundred miles. Took it back, was told "No warranty they aren't meant to be ridden they are show items!"

Overhaulin is not bad. Though I could do without the "setup" sections. Though I would ruin that bird that presents it. Foose is everything Coddington is not which explains why Charlie swapped over.

Yes they are pre fab fenders but they actually modify them quite heavily and Paul Jnr does quite often fabricate from scratch front fenders for lots of bikes!

Southern chopper was the one. They actually made bikes instead of just bolting them together. And theyre accents were pure class.

OCC was good but it's gone a bit shit now, the 2 pauls both drive hummers for fuck sake.

Biker build off is much better, real hardcore guys building bad ass bikes from scratch - Billy Lane, Matt Hoff etc.

i watch american hotrod and overhaulin when i get chance

american hotrod is a good program, yes the bosses are wankers, but he lads know what there doing and the end result is awsome

its a shame that the old bloke died as he was very good at what he did

overhauling is good becuase foose knows exactly how he wants the car fro design to build up

and im sure he used to be boyds apprntice one time so ive read somewhere
