Axl Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Well I watched the 1st episode and quite enjoyed it but I wasn’t too sure on the third wing for the cossie But more importantly I noticed in one of their advertising trailers that they’re going to do a celica Supra I really hope they don’t bugger it up like the rx7 they ruined a couple of seasons ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_bandido Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Saw that episode when I was out in the states, not quite the same with the new bloke but it was still entertaining. Cool story behind the wing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra900bhp Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Was that the snake print? If yes was nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Was that the snake print? If yes was nasty That’s the one I’m really worried that one day they will get their grubby paws on a Mkiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Just watched it, I did enjoy it to be fair and I liked the finished product on the Escort RS Cosworth. Although I think the new mechanic can be annoying at times. But I'll still watch the series when I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Ruined a stunning car with that spoiler lol glad it was left off I can understand why people don't like it, but it could have come out the factory like that back in the 90's. I do quite like it to be fair, and it got proven it's benficial when it was tested in the wind tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not sure they’re were any major benefits for 3 over the 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I really enjoyed the first one, just not long enough for me - I'd like to see more of the tech side. Ant Anstead is a breath of fresh air - really liked him when he did the other resto/auction programme. I think the fact they got the original designer in and followed his original design was superb - it only lost it's middle wing due to bean-counting originally so the fact they were honest to that original concept was a great move in my book. The finished car looked superb - great job I thought. Looking forward to the next episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 I’ve seen a few more trailers for this now most notable is a Mitsubishi gto and I have to say I’m impressed really looking forward to the rest of the series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickTT Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 - it only lost it's middle wing due to bean-counting originally so the fact they were honest to that original concept was a great move in my book. I know thats what he said, but I dont believe it for a second. It was a homologation special for the Ford world rally car and would have had 10 wings if the wrc car needed them. This was not bean counting on the base model fiesta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjam92 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I quite like Ant, I remember he did another restoration show with Phillip Glennister a couple of years ago. Can't remember the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I'm really not keen on Mike Brewer; a lot of things he does grates on me, things like thinking it's normal to knock panels with his knuckles as he walks around them, also constantly leaning on cars he hasn't bought get your hands off them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Really enjoyed it, Ant was very good. It's pretty 'Americanised' now though. Still good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Met Ant at the NEC classic show a couple of years ago, he was impressed with my Range Rover restoration, seemed like a decent good guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
