Watched one of the new series the other day. Not really that impressed. I used to watch it for the workshop segments any way. First nail in the coffin was moving the old series to the US, I have little interest in American metal & now they seem to have watered down the workshop too.
Think I'll give it a miss.

Fantomworks, American Hot Rod, Fast'n'loud all,good if you like American cars (and I can't think of any reason why anyone wouldn't).
Overhauling' is a bit cheesy but usually ok if you skip,the 'set up' bits.
Goblin Works has just started, uk based, might be ok.
Street Outlaws is US based 'Street racing' - some great machinery, even if the racing is hardly 'outlaw' stuff.
If you want motorbike related stuff it is pretty much The Hairy Bikers.
Says it all......

Looks like the one I saw was in Sheffield ,not Chesterfield Oops! Although,the train I was on passed through
both stations and it was dark, m'lud.
It wasn't dark, it was the soot from all the chimneys.

But would you buy a car from him?
First thing he needs to do is re-dress all the sales team, most of which look like low life spivs and classic car salesmen
Interesting gender and ethnicity make up......
Did you really expect anything else?
I wasn't surprised.
I have never liked the MGB but I did like what they did to theirs.
American Hot Rod is the programme to watch for both great design and exceptional craftsmanship. It is quite old now but class never ages.
A great shame that the Boyd Coddington empire fell apart after his death - it would appear that the finances weren't great when he passed.
I quite liked Goblin works garage the mgb design was good & the boy sure can weld
As for Coddinton, obviously I don't know what he was like in person but he came across as an arrogant little shit on telly & every time I watched the builds I was thinking typical yanks still building shite chassis for their cars almost exactly as henry ford did on the model T ............. things have moved on from there (about 40 years ago) no wonder they went bust
As above with the welderup crew they got the skills & their cars look great but everything is on a heavy angle iron & U section chassis FFS

I have just watched the Saab episode and thought it was excellent (albeit I don't like the car).
Anstead's metal fabrication skills were a joy to watch and the guy who 'fabricated' the replacement windscreen was something else - never seen anything like it.
Maybe it was time for a change after all.........

Fire Up The Quattro!!
