Classic Car Rescue

[JB400]

Anybody else watching it on Discovery?  It seems like a pretty decent show based in jolly ole England.  They're restoring a Jaguar E type.  Not too bad, but one of the hosts wrecked it by backing it into an engine on a hoist as he was driving it right out of the paint booth.

I'll have to watch again next week

yes ok show...I am sure that was a setup when he wrecked the car...as in all reality shows they need to add drama!......wheeler dealers is a better English show that really has no drama and focuses on the cars

[Big Sugar]

Yeah,     Wheeler dealers is refreshing, they actually show you the work and the mechanic is actually getting his hands dirty. Cool Show.

i saw a marathon of classic car rescue, its cool if you like it, but i swear each episode is more and more rigged, they even set up an "underground" drug dealer type scene for buying a 54 caddy bumper

I saw a little last night, didnt keep my interest.  I kinda like fast and loud?

[polywideblock]

if someone picked up "wheeler dealers" concept(people working on cars not each other) and ran  with it but with real American iron  would be a hit problem is they would have to "tweak" it to "improve it" and that would be the end of that

I watched a little of it, I always liked E-type Jag's, not big on the English shows thou, didn't see the end either  , I went over to watch "American Icon The Muscle-car", it was far better & they had 3 old episodes about Mopar's 

[Old Moparz]

I spotted that show while flipping channels the other night & TRIED to watch it. Turned it on in the middle of the episode during the part where the guy buys the Jag & had to call his associate to discuss it. I managed to make it until they were breaking for a commercial & showed the preview of the next scene where his associate chews him out for paying $2000 more than what he said to spend. I thought Paul Sr. was going to come through the door to start yelling at Paul Jr. for spending 9 weeks making a fender that nobody liked. I turned on an old Quentin Tarantino  flick instead, "Killing Zoe" & opened a beer.
