I've watched about 15 mins of the Rolls episode so far over breakfast this morning - my first thought - 'oh no, all that craftsmanship, the hand polished windscreens, the fancy barbed wire free leather they'll never appreciate all that' - then I saw them pull off the Halfords style wheel covers and I remembered in actual fact they're a bit crap really - I look forward to them putting on air ride and hopefully a big blown lump of Detroit iron under the 'hood'.
Enjoyed it to and when they put the roof in backwards was rolling on the floor laughing also the bit about converting to air bag then finding out the brakes are linked into the old suspension system or something like that which they had removed so had no brakes.
Then again looking at the system there is a fking load of brake pipes.

Watching this show and seeing the cars make me wish I lived in the US. Something about older American cars from the 60's, 70's which have the edge over UK cars of the same era.

I'd like something like that Falcon, or even the Trans Am, but they're just too big for UK roads. (to me anyway)
Nonsense. My '57 Chevy is the same size as my Volvo V70, fits in a single parking space no problem. The Falcon is an even smaller car. I have the QA1 suspension set up same as Aaron fitted to his Falcon, along with rack and pinion steering and some big anti roll bars. Car is very chuckable now and not at all boat like
THere is another US show on, Extreme Car Hoarders, I think it is called, that I caught on Monday. In that, one of the partners admitted that it is starting to become very difficult to pick up old unloved cars to make over for a song, presumably because of TV programmes like Fast n Loud, Counting Cars etc.
