[Tom Frankland (T3OMF)]

Well spotted Steve, most of these car/reality shows are staged 

[Nic Chase (NICO) - Shropshire & Mid-Wales AO]

At least we didn't have to put up with a mythical self imposed time scale to get the car finished!! I know they said they did the work in 8 weeks but surely it would have taken longer than that to source the parts. Still very watchable. Happy memories.

Ime sure when we saw the finished car, just before he jumped in and drove it out the workshop, it had no top hose on !

[M444TTB]

I said to my wife that we didn't actually see an awful lot of the restoration and they could just have gone out and bought a good one. Doesn't sound like I was too far wrong!

What a total waste of an hour, wanted to see the restoration work not a load of anti social chavs giving proper motorsport a bad name.
