If Yianni putting some film on a car doesn't tickle your fancy, Quest have a new car related show starting this week. It features Drew Pritchard (From the normal Salvage Hunters series, funnily enough!) and classic cars, presumably following a similar format.

As title, it starts this week (Today!) and continues each Wednesday at 9. I am fairly sure I read somewhere it is only a short series to test the water, but can't find confirmation of that.

It's a no from me too. No idea who this Drew character is but he's an absolute cock. Shame, the programme has a degree of interest, although the WD cues are all a bit too obvious.

Paint is crap on golf and wouldn’t you have taken the awful roof spoiler off?

Crap paint
Horrible roof spoiler
Front bumper warped
Black vinyl trim missing from tailgate
Rear wiper parked incorrectly
Structural rot underneath

It's a £4K car in current times? It'll have been fifteen hundred quids worth 5 or 6 years ago.

Pirelli wheels only correct on late Mk1's - not on an early one

His shenanigans have aged him quite badly. He looks very old now.

Awful isn't even the word for it! Should have binned the spoiler and kept the grille!

I didn't realise how awful that rear roof spoiler is.

Drew's chum just described the car as "almost perfect"

nope !
