Did anyone else watch this on Quest last night?

Sort of a cross between all the usual American car build programmes with the usual televised drama. You know, one person regularly disappears when important decisions need to be made, will they make the deadline of five days start to finish and will the 1000BHP Model 'T' they've just built be faster than original 1926 version?

I can normally watch these programmes by disengaging the brain slightly but this was complete drivel. Or am I expecting too much?

Was this on about 10pm last night? Think i flicked it on while channel hopping and thought about sky+ing it for today but after about 20 seconds thought otherwise, looked gash. (I'm not some waster who watches TV all day BTW, I've broke my ankle!)

Yes - coming almost straight after 'American Hotrod' - that thing they produced just didnt cut it for me.

Okay, so they only had 5 days (and I realise Boyd's creations cost hundreds of thousands of $), but the format of the show itself was rubbish too.

What was that artist / designer guy up to?! He spent most of the time spraying walls or in the bar... then his contribution right at the end was to smash the back window!!

It was on at 9.00PM. It's repeated tonight I think.

And by the end of day 4 they'd made some frame rails, fitted the engine and chopped the roof. No more than that. Then suddenly day 5 it was all finished.

Utter ste.
