Yeah, two sides to every story an all that but I got a feeling the shows popularity has peaked.
Seems rather harsh to bin those two.

First series was by far the best.

Shame.

I did catch something in the show about it but what actually happened.

Last episode was good mustang looked good and that Cortina never knew they sold them out there.

I'd be surprised if it was that clear cut.

Good read.
RR on Top Gear SIARPC?Now that would be worth watching.
Sounds like he's on the ball with Discovery and the show.

You've got to laugh at some of those questions/answers. They ask Richard Rawlings a question, about his business and his tv show, and then tell him he's wrong!

Yeah I 'call bullst' on that - the disabled kid, the evil spirited boss, the Rolls and getting fired for swearing - it's all a bit too obvious.

I don't really believe RR let them go for car business reasons either, these US reality show stars' appearance fees are huge, they probably just wanted too much money from Discovery.

Shame though, I really liked Jordan and Tom, perfect balance of insanity and deadpan reality.

Didn't the other guy leave to start his own workshop? It was in another episode, where he handed in his notice and left.

Must have nodded off somewhere - didn't know anything about this. When in the episode did they mention that??

In the episode with the amphi-car, Tom mentions a promise that RR had made to take him fishing, after re-hiring him. There's obviously some history there.

That's it I couldn't remember if it happened or I was making it up glad someone else caught it as well.

loving the trans am episode, looks like they have to pull the engine twice in the next episode because of more problems!
Cant believe they get things like this so wrong.

Maybe they shouldn't have spent some much time on the donuts.
