I never did metalwork at school, due a mix up with the curriculum, I ended up doing double technical drawing in a class of 6, we all got A's mind

introducing the comedy half-wit brother was genius...i can see the look on the producers face "so any more at home like you two?....a younger dumber brother...how soon can he get here?"

The only program I've bothered setting the video for. Absolutely superb. A PHer must see. You can buy the DVD set in the US.

You mean Mikey? Yup - he's larger than life in more ways that one

Living proof that relatives shouldn't be allowed to breed

[Incorrigible]

I don't beleive it, telly that sounds like I might actually want to watch it and I can't....

I'm assuming it's on C5 or Satelite

[saleen05]

on discovery home an leaisure theres American HotRod....and as skilled as those guys at boyd coddington are....they do come across as thick as $hit sometimes....

Id rather have the dueling Teutils doing my fab work anyday

He sure does remind me of Jack Osbourne, only with some skills

[Mad Dave]

American HotRod is quite cool Ive yet to see American Chopper though.

[saleen05]

what cracks me up is the repeated phrases

"You know....building a chopper blah blah"
"you know starting to build this chop blah blah"
"you know with the deadline so close blah blah"

I liked the bit where they got a bit enthusiastic reversing their trucks out of the car park in the snow and crashed into each other. Then the older brother decides to help his dad undent the front bumper by attaching a chain to it and the back of the other truck then as the dad shouts 'OK take it slow', he floors it ripping the bumper off completely.

Quality.

Outstanding show ... the workmanship on those machines is incredible. Yesterdays (Pt 2 of the fireman bike) was great. Makes me want to go to Daytona for Bike Week.

The bit where they got pulled by the Police was funny ... riding with sunglasses in the dark, no plates etc etc. The list was so long the cop couldn't be bothered to write them up! Imagine that happenng here?

[saleen05]

i can imagine the producers calling the local cops to pull them over in front of the cameras

or am i just being cynical?

He's a bloody good shot with a shotgun. F-all use at anything else, mind.

Fantastic show. Watched about 3 of them in a row yesterday.

The Fireman bike was incredible. The custom carb that was made in the shape of a fire hydrant was a fantastic bit of engineering.

The guy who does all the artwok is pretty good too.
