Looks like they are restoring a mini tonight (at least that's what the EPG tells me).

The last few times i have watched this they have turned out some nice cars. :lol:

I feel sorry for the poor bloke who purchased that car. My favourite quote of the show 'the less money we spend, the more money we make'

The scene with the tow truck driver sounded exactly how something would happen in real life... NOT

If they could spend just 10% of the energy they use to argue and shout at each other to fix the cars properly they'd be a lot nicer

There are some dipsticks in the world and then there are the blokes on this show. I am glad they are not working on my car.

The "restoration" looked fairly dodgy...all the agro, shouting etc is just for TV effect...I watched it for the Mini content but doing that was a chore

Couldn't agree more!
Every episode follows the same script too. The first one I watched was mildly entertaining, every subsequent one makes me cringe
