Hmmm. I'm not convinced they've improved that.

This is mental, it looks awful, like the old Wheeler Dealer days with the Capri etc.

Bet Liquid Knight has an opinion....

Kids and I like watching the show ~ even if their highlight is repeating everytime Mike says, "Nooo" rather than 'New' One episode Mike was saying how you could still buy parts nooo from manufackcha.

Where is that accent from?

I thought it was the Caterham 7 tonight, instead, we had that awful panda 4x4, and that 'paintwork'!

Little bit of fun something that I wouldn't of thought of and a bit of a change.

Not bad a lot better than some of the other episodes though.

Paying £2.5k for that bundle of st Panda.

That woman needs her head felt.

Eddy might be a bit of a mechanical wizard but when it comes to styling he is clueless, zero taste.

Should have saved some money and either left it silver or painted it NATO green.

Lets hope its a 'sud and not the Arna. Possibly 1 of the worst cars I ever had the misfortune to work on when I was an apprentice in the motor trade.

Hes always saying "Dont buy a car in the rain" but buys a car in the rain.

Then says "Always ask about the car for sale - dont mention the model incase they are a dealer"

then calls up and says "Im calling about the M3"

No consistancy.


That Panda was up there with the VW Camper van with the awful wrap.

I wasn't convinced by the pebbledash paint finish, it looked much better before hand.

They seem to be putting a bit more effort into having Mike show the "How it's done" on the replacement parts this series (the Rover carpets and exhaust manifold, and the remould tyres on the Panda) which is more interesting than just having him turn up at a Motor Factors and pretend to haggle over the price.

I was confused by the Panda. I could have sworn that they said it was going to be a Caterham this week.

It was interesting to see the gearbox linkage rebuild, and the workarounds to get the bushes/linkage re-fitted. Less impressed with the paint work.

Yup the paintwork ruined for me what looked like a fun little vehicle. Would've liked to have seen it in a really bright colour contrasting with the black trim and snorkel.

For me, this has to be the worst series thus far. I usually keep all the ones I have recorded on the Sky box until I buy the box set, but I have only kept 4 (so far) this time.
