I enjoy this show but do find Tim's staged parts finding sketches irritating - however they are not as irritating as the point just before he hands over the keys and always asks the most ridiculous question along the lines of "so you have had to cope with a terminal illness/loss of family/any other obviously dire situation -how has that been for you? How on earth do you think it's been you complete moron furious
calm down dear......I presume the intention is to say after all this bad luck we hope your car being done for you cheers you up - which evidently it does
Yes, and if that is the line he took then it would be far more considerate than pursuing them to regurgitate the emotion of what they've had to deal with.

I fear poor old Tim has become the 'Brewer' of Car SOS.

I don't think he's even close to being as annoying as 'Awd out yah 'and' Mike but for 'core viewers' is a distraction from the bit we like, the welding and cutting bits.

Unlike Brewer though, Tim does wonders for broadening the audience - My Wife has little interest in cars, especially old ones over and above how it looks when it's finished the tale of woe and Tim’s bits she actually likes - which means I get to watch it at a sensible hour and not trying to cram it in when she's gone to bed.

I knew a chap from rugby who ran a horse riding school for disabled children. Coming away from it I remember promising myself I would always remember how lucky I was. You soon forget though.

The poor bloke.

Very late to this party, started watching this programme a few weeks ago, so catching up on Sky, so far have watched:
AC Aceca
UR quattro
Fiat 500
Morgan 3 wheeler

Loved the AC Aceca one because of the car and the reveal, loved the Fiat 500 one coz of the guy, the modest car and the trip to Italy, Morgan and quattro also fun

but the Pagoda one seemed a bit off - great to see these cars back on the road, but take a bucket of parts and rotted carcass worth not a lot and create a car worth £100k+, bit of a financial windfall for the owner (albeit owners all have a sad story)

Tears in my eyes at the start when his story is first told, tears in my eyes at the end when you can see he is emotional with elation, but at the same time his saddness is there because he can't see/enjoy it fully for himself.

I hope & pray he progresses and gets to see it and god willing maybe drive it.

This series has had some real tear jerkers due to some very deserving owners. frown

That poor bloke! We all moan from time to time, but that guy has been through hell and seeing his joy as he received the car was wonderful.

If Fuzz and Tim see this thread - you and your team are top, top blokes - well done on a fantastic TV program. Keep up the good work!!

Very nice, they have done a Wayne Carini mechanical restoration only. With something that original that's perfect.

I would rather have seen the engine, suspension and brakes being stripped and rebuilt rather than having to endure all the Tim st !

Agreed, what a humble and deserving fella!

I loved the elation on his face and the spring in his voice when he saw the car and sat in it.

Great work again from the team.

Good one tonight, the RX7 is a great modern classic IMO.

I hope it turns out well.
