Anyone watching the latest series discovery is saying its the final series too. Brian bass has now left the show, the Datsun 280z they built in 2017 has been burnt down in a transporter fire.
They did a replica buick indy car racer which was pretty good end result. Russell though brings nothing to the show at all.

I wondered if they were setting up a new Bass Kustom series.They did a replica Buick Indy car racer which was pretty good end result. Russell though brings nothing to the show at all.
Just got Sky at mine so tuned into a much more recent FNL the other night and was shocked at the difference between it and the old ones I'd been watching on Quest. Had no idea Aaron had left, Richard has piled on quite the beergut and there were no personalities left in the garage. It was actually slightly more interesting from a motoring POV as there seemed to be more building stuff at the cost of the fun stuff but the whole atmos seems to have really gone down. Shame. Richard may be a nice guy off camera but I'm not sure I could work for him.

Iron Resurrection seems good, they build some fine cars. Perhaps a bit too many clips of people working with some rock music over the top but it's decent enough.
I like Richard, he's the ultimate no-nonsense boss. That Russell comes across as a proper brown nose and he adds nothing to the show. Will watch to the end as I've enjoyed every season, it's a cliche but all good things do have to come to an end. Can't believe how many Cartier bracelets Richard has

Going back to the first mega race I have heard reports that discovery set up 2 races with chief and murder nova of street outlaws against Richard and ak that was the original contracted part between the 2 series. When ak left Richard threw up the rule book and got the pro team into build and race the car and ak then raced farmtruck and Asian as shawn(murder nova) backed out of the deal because of it.

Really like Richard, I think a fair bit is him playing a 'character' but he is a petrolhead at heart and I imagine a good guy to sink a few beers with.
maybe not to work for though - I seem to recall that AK whilst not slating RR wasn't exactly complementary AK always came across as a belligerent little so and so to me. Much prefer Jason in terms of personality.

And vice versa - RR has talked about AK, whilst not slating him, quite negatively - I think in his autobiography?It has definitely lost something for me but caught up on the latest last night.
