Does anyone know if Fuzz’s dress sense is as bad in real life. I couldn’t imagine the missus wanting him with her in Sainsbury’s to get the weekly shop. 
Result!You can't see in the picture, but yes, he was wearing rigger boots
I watched an old one the other day where the guy suspected/made a joke about going to a classic car show etc... The wife told Tim so they took the car to his house as the guy was on his way. Fuzz was pretending to film something else at the show and they did the reveal when the chap got home and he seemed very shocked

It's new to 4, and if you only have Freeview channels then it is a new series.
Doesn't make it new if it has already been shown on tv in the pastregardless of which channel.
That is whats peeving me about sky's tv guide ,they are increasingly advertising
programmes as new,even if they were first broadcast and repeated many times
on a different channel years previously
They will probably start doing it with Dads Army or UK gold programmes soon

Just caught up S7E1 white Lotus Elise. 
Just googled this episode but can't find it to watch online or download - I'm in NewZealand so that's probably why The car looks like my old one from the photos, can't have been that many white ones with those stripes! (Although the wheels are different.) Does anybody know if it had blue leather seats or what the registration number was? (Mine was T267RPH and I sold it in 2007 when we emigrated.)

Car SOS dont do ANY restorations - they film themselves poncing about in a garage and edit out the real techs doing the real work.
The 6r4 on next weeks episode was dropped off at garage 6 weeks ago, they filmed for 4 hours and disappeared. The Metro is still there, full strip/restore/rebuild/repaint, and the TV guys haven't been there at all. All the work magcally just did itself without any help from Fuzz.
TV boys turn up 1 week before the show airs to record a couple more hours of footage, and all the work put in by all the guys who work there will be edited out. One of my interests is next door to the garage where the work is being undertaken so I have observed first hand just how little work the TV guys actually do.
In short, the Car SOS restorations do not exist. For pedantry, the restorations comissioned by Car SOS are variable, depending on the business that accepts the contract from them.

Well, my eyes are opened. I shall never again believe anything I see in an entertainment-led television programme.The 6r4 on next weeks episode was dropped off at garage 6 weeks ago, they filmed for 4 hours and disappeared.

At least they could say 'here's one we prepared earlier'..Its deceit , the whole premise of the show is a con.

I think everyone understands that they farm work out like engine rebuilds, trim etc. but they must do some bits themselves, I mean they actually film welding going on in their workshop, unless you're saying they are stunt welders.The 6r4 on next weeks episode was dropped off at garage 6 weeks ago, they filmed for 4 hours and disappeared.

Why not wait until the show airs, they might actually say we're going to farm it out to an expert, just like they did with the Capri.
