Just finished the Ferrari episode. How all the guests at that ‘reveal party’ didn’t burst out laughing when they pulled the cover off I do not know. It looks like they rattle canned it judging by the awful orange peel and dust pitting.

$220,000 for a stolen recovered max powered Ferrari hehe

The ferrari value seemed a laugh the f360 is not loved and this one was recovered from a chop shop. Spiders Web ffs and logo on the bonnet.

Green could work Jay Kay had a green La Ferrari (Schmee spotted it in Monaco he is someone else I can't watch).

Over all the cars are worse than middle article in old max power magazines

Just finished watching the latest series - the fit and finish on those cars (all of them) was utter st. Some 'highlights' for me were the bonnet gaps on the Tesla, the hilarious fit of the screens into the Chevelle dash and the wobbly finish where the gutters were removed, the butchery and the dreadful paintwork on that poor Ferrari. I swear that 40 years ago I could achieve a better finish with a £5 can of 'Repaint' and a decent paint brush - I'm not joking!

The green Ferrari looked like something out of GTA 5. Maybe that’s an insult to the team at rockstar because even their digital paint doesn’t look like a green orange.

I just find it impossible to believe that a Ferrari collector would pay with anything other than Monopoly money for a car that looks like a movie prop. Normally I wouldn’t support the whole Ferrari suing owners for modifications but on this occasion I’m willing to shift my opinion biglaugh

I've just watched a couple of episodes from series 3,the school bus with paint runs everywhere and the hot tub car,wow just wow,a bunch of school kids with no experience could get a better finish.
They keep going on about high end builds and 6 figure jobs, it's farcical,even Goblin garage do better work and that's a really low bar.

I've just been flicking through some other US car restoration programs, they're all exactly the same.

They aren't, some are very good while there are a couple like this.

that tesla they done looked terrible, so cheap and tacky, the idea was good, if they left the car looking as it was and just dropped the v8 in it would of been a nice car, when he drove it out to test drive it when they got engine started it looked pretty good.

The Charger build,they extended the doors and a window smashed over a speed bump so they made reinforcing panels for the doors and took it out for another test .....only there were no reinforcement panels fitted in all shots except one.
It's a joke of a show, almost Goblinesque
