Default TV Show On Fords!!!

So how come no one has had a stab at a proper restoration program about fords? I have been watching Beetle Crisis and what with the Dog Shiite Chop Shop last night I just cant understand why no one has made any decent programs

Kevin sharp said summiting last night and it wasn’t till he said it I realised how right he was and that it was the Yanks must be laughing there heads off at us with shit like Chop shop and wheeler dealer ect when they have overhauling, American hotrod and so on

What about a program on a full road going Escos track car from start to finish taking you step by step the whole way through the build telling you all about the build, what parts are and what the different options are for EG going to Martins and chatting about Gearboxes I.E. Bara and skyline box he does and then moving onto the next tuner Fabricator and chatting with them Ect

I think it has the potential to be a good idea that is real with real situations and modification that matter

There wouldn't be enough people interested in watching such a detailed program, therefore advertising wouldn't sell in the breaks.

American Chopper, Hotrod, etc, have a non technical interest, i.e the "Characters" that are involved.

mercury grey minter scripts been started

focusv8 how the hell is wheeler dealer ect still on TV then

smitsturbo EsCosRacer's escort would have been perfect

Im sure if you kept things short and sweet and didn’t go into to much detail and just got the point of what was being done and for what Advantage/Reason then you may stand a chance of not boring people who are not as passionate as must users on here

After work and my other hobbies I got fuckall else to do in my spare time other than sit on the net so i may just look into this a little more, im sure selected Tuners and fabricators would be happy to precipitate as long as they got to read the script and say what is right and the truth rather than a director making it up as they go along and telling them what to say ect

Any camera men on here who want to do some probono?
