same here. wonder what the power difference was before/after? as a side note, my mate had r33 GTR and it was a weapon. modest at 420hp but an awesome car for the money. i also like the way edd never swears nor suffers skinned knuckles ect. the adjustable arms looked suspiciously new

It was a bit like the tvr they did, at the beginning he's looking for a leak and doing a visual inspection, brakes are rotten and old, fixes the rad and then looks for vagueness in the steering and finds out its a track rod end, next he takes the wheel off and low and behold there's new discs and callipers, nothing about it in the budget at the end etc lol

Edd is a decent mechanic, Mike Brewer knows a little bit about cars/mechanics but then he doesn't pretend to know he does, hence he has his role and Edd his, I don't personally see what peoples problem is with him.

If you want to see a bad show, watch "Classic Car Rescue" on channel 5!

Watching that now. What a fucking load of shit. Whats with all the shit acting. Just fix the fucking car already.

That fat bald cunt just needs a slap. "its got some rust on it" Its from 1954, what the fuck do you expect?

Its annoying as the cars seem to look good when finished, just a shame they try to make it a drama show (american chopper style) than actually showing the work being put into the cars.

Classic car rescue pissed me off when he 'accidentally' dropped the mustang windshield. Strange how the one he dropped was a completely different size and shape to the mustang one too - they could have at least made an effort and broke the original one. Also when they went to the breakers yard to cheesewire another screen out - you could blatantly see the screen was already loose as they were removing it and when they got it out the windscreen channel was spotless. Knobs.

Yep, it also had a thick black surround on it and the fact it was about a foot shorter and a lot talker than the mustang one was a little giveaway. I wish there was a good car programme that actually went into the building etc without the false drama. A ........ Is born was pretty good I thought.

I noticed this except the other way round.

"Wheeler Dealers" is brilliant and seems to get better as time goes on in my opinion. Have watched one "Strippers" and it is total bollocks with the terrible acting but hey..., it's about cars, i'll watch it haha
