The Classic Car Show - Channel 5

[V8covin]

When I saw this show was being presented by Quentin Wilson and Jodie Kidd I feared the worst.
But I was wrong
.OK,JK is not a presenter,Why She Has To Emphasise Every Word I don't know,acting school maybe ?
Yet that was my only gripe.It kept my interest to the end,although the Ferrari section was a bit dull.

[Rumblestripe]

Just watching it now.

Channel 5 (Demand 5)

Jodie seems to be trying too hard and just needs to relax a little. But otherwise it's a big thumbs up for me!

He's 197 years old you know, used to be into the old witch burning.

Some say...he keeps a portrait of his young self in a locked room in his attic....

So I recorded this yesterday and have only watched the first half but so far I've enjoyed it. I don't know what you lot are moaning about. Some nice cars and that's what I want to see.

[Chicane-UK]

Just starting watching... Jodie Kidd is a little cringe worthy so far (what's with the nodding the whole time when Quentin is speaking, on the couch segments?), but will give it a fair go!

[judas]

Just caught it on catch-up. Cringeworthy presentation but good material and interesting potential. Also good to see Turbo R prices are likely to be on the up

[RichB]

Strangely I have seen JK on camera at various Goodwood events and she always comes over very naturally. Perhaps it's the studio she's not so comfortable with. Anyway I didn't think it's that bad (or cringeworthy as some people think).

[johnxjsc1985]

I don't get too wound up about the presenters as long as they have interesting Cars on.
I liked the TR7 slot but cant stand that bloke who was gushing about it.
QW still looks like a sleazy double glazing salesmen but look forward to the next show.

Really loved the TR7 feature. Liked them as a kid. Still remember seeing them in the 80s. In fact I still have a yellow matchbox one in the attic (along with a red Matra Rancho - I would love to see featured on the show)

My Matra Rancho was my favourite toy car when I was a kid.

I am watching the show now (on Sky+) and I agree with others, good program, good content, the studio bits with JK and QW are horrible.

[Streetrod]

I liked that and Quinton really does know his stuff and is willing to put his own money where his mouth is as well. He has recently bought a 64 Mustang, I think still has a very nice Daimlar Dart and has recently sold his amazing E-Type for well in excess of £200K

Just wait until Quentin starts dropping cryptic messages advertising Warranty Wise into the show.

[defblade]

Reminded me a lot of the Motorcycle Show - you have to put aside your expectations of slickness, wind your metabolism back to the 1970s (or even earlier for this show), forget Top Gear evolved into what it is today, and just watch it with the pleasant knowledge that this program is mostly being made because someone cares enough about the content to make it, and sell it (whisper: even if it's not really very good).

It's been too long since Quentin's been on my telly (even if the vampire/Dorian Gray suggestions are a little too accurate!) - he knows his eggs; and Jodie, from all I've seen of her on TG etc is, simply, a pure petrolhead. And also not, as Guy Martin might say, hard to look at

More niche programming for engines and wheels, I say. And let it be made for love, not money. Or awards. Or casual viewers.

You werent watching very closely, were you? One of the first ads was a WW one

[RemyMartin]

Finally managed to catch up and watch this. Actually an enjoyable programme. I did enjoy the old Metro and Escort adverts.

I enjoyed it. Although the geek is a bit too geeky.
