Counting cars

[Thankyou4calling]

This is a fun show.

The guys buy, sell and rebuild all sorts of very interesting cars and bikes.

The proprietor is a really cool guy often called on to work on a car bought by the Pawn stars show guys, I think the shows are related.

Sometimes they literally pull someone over and buy a car at the roadside, I'm sure it uses a bit of TV licence but The Count does have an amazing car collection.

Does anyone else watch it?

Watched it for the first time last night, over 50 cars in his personal collection - must be doing pretty well.

I quite like it, some of the work the painters turn out is stunning.

Its good but slowly going the way of other History/Discovery shows.

Yup....a load of false drama, and poorly acted.

You can almost hear them reading the words to each "skit"

[johnxjsc1985]

watched it on and off for some time on Discovery. Its all a bit to contrived and the guy with the horns needs help.Anyway an ok show "brother"

I accept much is staged but there are some superb cars on show and if only a percentage of how they operate is real then it's a hell of a lifestyle.

Agree about too much false drama but saw an episode earlier with a Robert De Niro impersonator - he was brill.

And the big-block Galaxie that was in the same episode.

Difficult to believe that they used to race those monsters in the British Saloon Championship on little UK circuits.

Barry Whites Stutz. That was what you call a pimped ride.

Been watching a few episodes of this recently. Always nice to have car shows on TV, but 2 things that wind me up about this one:

1) Why not show us any of the build/restore process? Car rolls in shagged beyond recognition, door goes up, good as new. May as well just be a different car every time.
2) ste attention to detail. I've noticed Wheeler Dealers is the same in this regard. "We're giving her a brand new custom paint job, overhauling the engine and suspension, finished off with brand new deep dish $5,000 dollar wheels..... and the same fked wheel nuts it rolled in with". The episode I watched earlier they bought a Chevvy such-and-such that was ultra rare and you never see them etc etc. They re-did the interior brand new paint job, pinstripe etc etc... and didn't replace the missing "L" from the CHEVROLET lettering across the front. Really?

But given all that, still better than watching soaps etc

I've visited them. Danny's cars and bikes are outstanding. I was so impressed, I bought a bike. It was landed in the UK Tuesday

Brand new series just starting next week...
