New series starting shortly on Dave, looks like a load of made up drama crap. I will watch it once to make sure but it looks honking.

The bit in the trail that had me avoiding this like a Chris Evans episode of Top Gear was when the salesman commented "So this is German quality" and the not-at-all clichéd "customer" played by a bit-part actor more used to shopping channels or adverts replies with over-the-top disgust "Jeeeerman?!"
I can only assume a lengthy string of "jokes" about the war, Bratwurst sausages, and grandad spending three years in Stalag Luft III followed.

Watched the first 2 recently, love it how simple life is for non petrol heads..visit forecourt / like car / drive car / don't haggle much on price and BANG they buy...
Compared to petrol-heads who will likely scour all the owners clubs for many days looking for known issues/ colour/engine/specs available, check eBay at every opportunity in the day and view a handful of cars before deciding on one. That's after turning up to a viewing with a checklist as long as their arm of issues / things to check ... then willing to walk away if the price isnt right... or is that just me :-)
Very cringeworthy but easy to watch TV..couldn't believe the price that 172 went for - madness!!!

I guess that's why there's so many threads on here about poor experiences when buying a car. Salesmen can't be bothered with a customer who might have their witts about them when someone such as those described above will be along shortly.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
