UGH. God Dammmmiittt! This was such a better show than most purely because of Edd working on the cars. Actually working on cars. Without all that BS drama of every other Velocity show. I will keep an eye out for what Edd does next.
It’s an honest enough show that Edd will actually walk you through his screw-ups as well as his triumphs.
I wouldn’t even say that Mike is that Over the top. He is AMAZINGLY cheerful, but not to optimum twat-waffle levels like some other reality shows. I also liked that Wheeler Dealers was free of a lot of bullshit. No stupid fucking pranks on co-workers or workplace drama I couldn’t give less of a damn about. The…
Edd China is the backbone of that show. It is a better car show than anything else I’ve seen. So many of the shows skip all the detail of installing parts, and instead become just advertisements for aftermarket parts. They never show the mechanics struggling with a rusted nut, or trying to wiggle a part out from…
Basically Velocity wants to remove the entire reason for watching Wheeler Dealers. Sorry to Mike, but aside from the trouble spots he seemed to look for, watching the shopping/haggling/sales process was boring and inconsequential. You knew the car would have problems, you knew he would deal down, and you knew they…
This Sunday the new season of Top Gear starts in the U.S., and I can’t imagine anyone just jumping into and watching…
Having a 175,000 mile F40 would be kinda fun. You’d know that every one of those 175,000 miles was done with a smile on the face. And that the car did what is was built for, to be driven, hard.
“Over privelaged (sp)”? Whoa, jealous much?
Now we’re talking, no signs of rust on an old Saab with just minor tinkering needed? I’d like to talk him down about a grand but even at his asking I’d ask, “Where do I sign”.
One thing about the current Fiesta ST I find hilarious is if you go to FiST enthusiast forums you’ll see Americans wishing they could get the 3-door and Europeans wishing they could get the 5-door.
Seeing as how it looks like rural Russia, and that’s a Landcruiser, chances are that the guy is some kind of bigwig and/or gangster, so I’d hold off on the chasing down.
I’ve shared this story before, and I’ll share it again.
I would chase that guy down and beat him to death. While his wife and children looked on if necessary.
You must live in an area where there’s good drainage.
So the automotive equivalent of taking a pee and then announcing “ I lost some weight!”. Factually correct, but really?
I had to take my spirit animal out back and shoot it. Little bastard kept relieving itself in the corners of my mind despite many, many years attempting to train it.
Some days I think I’d be a crotchety old fuck in a Saab 9-5 Aero wagon, much like I already am (less the Aero wagon, that is.)
I think the plastic is smart, if it scrapes on a rock it won’t scratch any paint. If a car backs into it, it won’t damage the paint. I had some on my 03 Vibe and miss un-painted plastic sides. Sure it was as faded as sorority girls at a bar on a friday night, but it was damn durable.
