Did Porsche use cable ties on the brake pad wear sensors from new???
Shouldn't this be called 'Classic car Bodging'?

Ah yes, that would be the genuine Porsche cable tie

[Hamster69]

Why was he upset that the pad sensors were missing? Doing discs and pads anyway! Oh hang on, they are hitting a brembo caliper with a hammer and fitting it up with cable ties. Oh and they bought a manual. They are a bunch of morons!

[Baron Greenback]

It's not even cleaned, does sound lovely! Rlol overheated! OK split hose!

[s p a c e m a n]

Flat out around Brunters? That paintworks fked now

[99hjhm]

Didn't have half that BHP!

[RobTVR.]

My estimate is £18,000

I'm colour blind so it may just be me, but that colour looks really flat. Awful colour.

The paint job is absolutely terrible imo.

So who's entering the competition at the end of the programme then?

Hopefully whoever does throws it back on a dyno to see what it's actually putting out.

Thoroughly st program, won't be watching that again

[Paul Dishman]

I wonder what happened to the original wheels?

[philmh]

I'll give em 50 for it. Pence that is.

[Evangelion]

Perhaps it was my imagination, but there seemed less arguing/bodging/disasters than in previous epidoses. Perhaps the producers have realised how st it was before and are trying to improve. Still got a way to go though!

[Laurel Green]

Funny enough I was going to say £13,000 but thought I'd get some grief the car just looked a tad unfinished on the rare closeups.

[Baron Greenback]

Oh well off to motogp that was on the same time!

Great news, time to set the Classic Car Rescue drinking game:

One shot for comedy accident
One shot for Mawio pronouncing car name wrong (it's an Alfa Romero)
One shot for salmon coloured trousers on the valuer
One shot for every £5000 over market value he prices it at.

One shot for Mario or Bernie losing their temper.
One shot for artificially contrived cock-up.
One shot for Bernie sourcing cheap parts.
One shot for non-period parts.

Hic!

The paint looked pitiful.

Love this
Totally faked

[tonyvid]

I don't think I would fancy going for Vmax in that! The engine might be running and new (battered about) brakes but what about the rest? Looks like the tester felt the same...

Wonderful cars though

Is the car valuer/race driver Mel C's brother?

So just like Top Gear then? Producers just following a tried and tested formula.

Fortunately I have a life so can switch the TV off and do something productive instead.
