South Beach Classics

[griffter]

After managing 10 minutes of 'that' programme on channel 5 last night, I feel compelled to recommend 'South Beach Classics' on Quest (freeview). It's awful, but watchable for the right reasons. For a start the dealer guy has no interest in the specifics of cars. His passion is just moving cars on. Some of the crap he buys, then blames his mechanics (or customers!) for is shameful but hey, it's good tv!

and one that does well judging by the rolls he turns up in. It could of course be hired, not that I'm a sceptic...

As regards "that" programme, I received a call today giving me chapter and verse on the E-type. I see it is being shown again Thursday so I've recorded it. As my friend said on the phone, it is so awful that it is compulsive viewing. I look forward to either laughing my socks off or raising my blood pressure to a dangerous level!

Ted Vernon is also a longstanding actor, screenwriter and producer so I don't think the cars are his only source of income.

Teds been selling lots of cars for a real long time and does well. I've done business with him before, he's a character but knows his stuff.
