Three men, four wheels TV show

[Spleen]

Not sure if this has been posted already but came across this whilst mincing around YouTube:



Hate to say it but I've never heard of any of them!

[Scrump]

The chap in the middle is Drew Pritchard who runs an antique business and has a tv show where he finds items to buy and sell.

I recall hearing he was expanding into buying and selling old cars as well.

One of them (on the right) is Marino Franchitti, brother of Dario, son in law of Nick Mason and a well know racing driver in his own right.

Nice to see a new format though, three white middle-aged blokes arsing about in cars.

No, hang on...

To be fair, go to any mainstream car event and it'll be full of middle aged white blokes. So this is absolutely representative.

That looks interesting and well produced and filmed.

I'll need to find Quest on my telly box though!

Drew is reason enough not to watch it, sorry

His Capri restoration was sufficient evidence that he's a legend in his own mind.

I'll give it a go - though, i suspect i'll turn it off after about 10 minutes! To be honest, i don't mind Drew.....but i've never heard of the other two.

First 2 episodes on Quest tonight .

Despite the presence of antiques Pritchard , quite enjoyed this ,mainly because of a race F40 involved in Ep 1 and the Stovebolt special in Ep2 .

Drew just doesn't "get" 80s cars ,hates all the Japanese stuff featured in his car bodging and flogging series and still doesn't get the F40

8/10 .

[Deranged Rover]

I watched the F40 one last night as I love the F40. It wasn't bad but, with regard to Drew Prick-chard, the best thing I can say about him is that he's made me think that maybe Mike Brewer isn't so bad after all...

[super7]

Drew Pritchard is always banging on about Patina and originality when it comes to antiques..... when he starts dicking about with cars he's changing them all over the place.... colours, design, interirors, exteriors because it's how he likes the car rather than how it was designed.. where's the originality in this lotus 7???????

[Argybargy]

I’ll watch pretty much anything if it features four wheels (and sometimes two).

This was ok…some interesting cars but you can’t help but feel the concept was a bit ‘thin’ and therefore both episodes had a lot of padding to fill out the time.

The usual contrived ‘banter’ to make it more entertaining too…

[V8covin]

Surprised this isn't getting more attention.
Some interesting vehicles and the banter between the presenters isn't bad especially seeing as how much stick they give DP which is a bonus

[10126 Torino]

I think it's okay too , completely forgot to watch it last night though ....dopey .

[ettore]

I’ve watched all of these and, other than the odd scripted cringe moment, they’re pretty good. Good to see proper cars on the screen and Drew - who I like in antiques guise more than car guise - is forgiven by me for the 35B love.

[BadOrangePete]

Been watching this on quest, kills 20 minutes or so nicely enough. DP's opinionated but plays up to that role IMO. I like Marino as a presenter too TBH

Excited to look up this series from the trailer and Marino featuring...35b is pa in law's, rich vein of sensational classics in those shared garages! Will never tire of seeing and hearing the Stovebolt Special too...very promising!
Thanks for the heads up OP!

One if the most boring car shows I’ve seen.
Drew knows it all and if someone thinks differently, they’re wrong.
And cars don’t have “patina”. It’s f@cking rust!
My car failed it’s MOT for a rusty subframe. The inspector didn’t comment, “subframe has a lovely patina”.

:-) Reading the above made me laugh, so true.
