Classic Car Rescue........

Wasn't that impressed with last night's Wheeler Dealers .Mike buys a 3.8 Mk2 Jag with a dead interior and a smoky engine ,It's got an oil catch tank which was full of black oil .Ed cleans the filter on the timing cover , fits a new hose and apparently cures the problem
It was meant to be "shraitght" (as Mike says to sound cool) but I could see bubbles under the paint
 
What a load of drivel! No way a slight bump into an engine on a hoist would do all that damage.. Unless a big lump of filler fell out..They could have cleaned & painted the inside before fitting that new interior too.. :roll:

It's getting a right slating on the programme's own comments page too... :LOL:
 
We have similar programs here, as well, where,under some time restraint they bash a car back into a saleable item. Fortunately they aren't interested in any Rovers or Jags, so I don't have to watch them destroy a decent car.

Was there ever such thing as a "shtraight" Jaguar compact saloon? They were basically held together with self-tappers!
 
baloney, bunk, bunkum, claptrap, drivel, foolishness, hogwash, idiocy, ludicrousness, poppycock, ridiculousness, rigmarole, tomfoolery, twaddle
 
Oh dear, it didn't get any better tonight :!:
so called experianced people thinking its a cut n shut, touching up after a complete respray with a one inch brush :shock: :LOL: the list goes on :LOL: :LOL:
Don't know why I put myself through it :oops: .........
 
I have found that if I approach it as comedy, a bit like the Muppet Show sponsored by Isopon with two new characters, instead of Waldorf and Stetler, more Bodgit and Runne, it becomes very watchable.
Watch it with a mind to be educated in car restoration and it's dire.

"screw you guys I'm going home " or is he Mr Angry from Steve Wright days ? instead of slamming the phone down ,he now slams doors ,we just need someone to do a Larry Grayson impression "ooh shut that door " :LOL: :LOL:
