A car that is a little rough around the edges, not polished to within an inch of its life appeals more to me.
I sort of get this leaving it alone malarky but I just like original looking Cars as they came off the production line.

I tried bhin rides, but it left me a little cold, the cars are nice and neatly made, but lack a certain something, maybe it's the shaving of handles and trim, always leaves them looking odd. And the characters are lacking... Character.
That's what always got me about the Misfits spin-off from Fast n Loud. It just seemed to have very little character, and what character there was consisted of Tom being a bit of a twunt. I stopped watching it quite quickly.
Neat, but so so plain.
Looks like one of those cynical manufactured hot rods Boyd Coddington used to knock out.

To be fair though that wasn't a car they built, it was just a light finishing-up of a car built elsewhere.

Just watching the Pebble Beach episodes. Slightly odd to hear unbleeped swearing, especially the F-word.

Richard was looking very ragged throughout, I thought.

Always had an innocent charm this show, so it a shame they have felt they have to be more edgy with the swearing.
A large family following so cutting their audience off. A lot of feedback on Facebook etc, so I guess they'll more than likely back track on that.

What I found particularly amusing was not bleeping out the word "fk" but still pixellating a (presumably) nude lady graphic on one of the motorbikes.

Personally, I find swearing way more offensive than the nude form.

The media is an odd place, violence and swearing are fine, but heaven forbid we see boobs!

Very odd to see nudity on US programmes outside of some HBO stuff. I similarly don't care for the un bleeped swearing in the recent episodes. I wonder if we get an international version or if the US shows still have the swears in unfettered.

FnL is still a favourite of mine. I think the balance between builds and tricky Ricky's shenanigans is still just about OK. The other show I like a lot is Mobsteel - I like the team and am a sucker for old clap-door Lincoln Continentals smile.

What the Dickens - 1 new slightly low-key episode based around a Harley to promote the new 'Harley and and Davidsons' series then another clip show for episode 2.

Bag of arse.

Indeed. My thoughts last night exactly. It tends to do this though, then all of a sudden will get good again, hopefully.

Yeah, I was not impressed with it being a clip show so I just gave up and watched something else instead

Also, it seemed, from the episode numbering on Sky+ at least, that last night was S4 E1, whereas last week was S4 E7, timed to coincide with this new show.

The Sky Series numbering is madness, they can't seem to decide if the new ones are Series 4, or Series 8. Misfit Garage is still on Series 1.

If you watch all the crappy clips shows it's on almost continually, bar 4-6 week breaks when the Misfits are on alternatively with Wheeler Dealers.

Things should be better next week, we're only a week behind the US and they seem to be do a Pantera at last!

Confusing me as well!

Clips/question show was rubbish but it usually pops back to form not long after smile

So, has Misfits finished now?

Yep, I sometimes think I've caught up with it mid-series, or that one of the kids has deleted it off the planner to record some dance crap thing or other, it sort of arrives and leaves without notice, but it's fun whilst it lasts - in a lot of ways I prefer it to Fn'L - its sort of like Fn'L when it first started. Lots of scripted drama this time though, didn't like that so much.

Another who was not impressed with the first episode.

off topic a bit managed to get to the Gas Monkey Bar and grill for some food with the family when in the Keys a few weeks ago

Food was good

I thought it was in Dallas (the grill as well as the shop) - Was I wrong or does he have a few now?

Proper empire building!
