Think the MG rear suspension "falling out" was somewhat staged. No sign of the prop shaft coming down with it. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but the bushed ends of the leaf springs had been CUT OFF!!! What a bunch of F*****G C***TS if they think we seriously believe this cr@p. Honestly, Jeremy Kyle is more believable....

As for replacing the car half way thru. Maybe they did, but I had already decided the show was a crock of **** and turned over.

its would be ok if that bellend bernie wasnt in it.
same every week, throw his toys out the pram at a member of the team, they storm off, he has to say sorry for them to come back and help
to make it more interesting next week he needs to go mad at a member and they turn round and knock him the fck out
the windscreen thing was terrible he actually threw it in the air

It’s getting to be embarrassing to watch...
If they made it a more 'serious' programme like 'a car is born' or 'beetle crisis' it would get loads of viewers, as it is I think more and more will switch off

Did anyone else see this through to the end? It was a shocking series but it became a must see due to the monumental **** ups 
There's been a huge thread on pistonheads about it and someone took the time to write this for season 2
Series 2 is at the development stage due to the enormous response (albeit rather negative but why should that get in the way) by classic car enthusiasts around the world.
The vehicles tabled are:
1988 Land Rover. Rusty in all the right places restored in 6 days as a Series 1. All new metal welded back in as aluminium. The ex-mod landy still had some explosives stored in the boot which do lead to a minor explosion when welding and Marios hair ends up looking like Bernies. The final car is restored as a 1955 vehicle. Dylan Miles comments include "was there much cowst on the car when you bought it?"
1960's Ferrari California, looks remarkably like a Mk5 Spitfire during the 'as found' filming, but sufficient red oxide aerosol (some of which is still wet) disguises the 'real' identity of this amazing car. The car is purchased minus engine and gearbox, but a mate of Bernie fishes one out of the local canal during a tools-down bonding session with the team.
VW Campervan
A hilarious episode where the two experts buy a VW camper using smoke signals instead of over the phone, internet or going to the vendor. Much to the annoyance of Mario with this approach we are treated with some good graphics of the smoke signal for "nah its too mach, do me ah favour mate" so we can all practise at home. The camper itself is then treated to a traditional warpaint finish. Oh how you will laugh.
Aston Martin DB5
After dismissing several rather good examples for princely sums, Bernie finds a completely rotten example and haggles the vendor, who once featured in 'Holby', down to a Pony. Bernie tells the viewers the DB stands for 'Del Boy' and has been used by Aston Martin since 1922. The team look despondent as Bernie shows them the car, but after many reprises after the adverts, a bit of T-Cut and the car looks superb. The end scene has Bernie dressed as James Bond and Mario as Blofeld, as the car drives off into the distance, you hear Mario insist that "we do a Alfa next"
Rolls Royce Silver Ghost
Mario buys off ebay a Rolls Royce and much to Bernies dismay it turns out to be an Airfix model, "whay didn't you check the bladdy size" yells Bernie. After setting only 4 days to restore luckily some new parts are located still on its original 'sprue'. Thanks to some liquid poly and new humbrol paint the car is restored. Dylan Miles turns up and is happy to value the car at £100k after the plucky duo place the car dangling by string inches in front of Miles face, creating the illusion of a full sized car.
Twiumph Italia
The first half of the show sees Mario visit over 500 cars that require restoring. He eventually plums for a car with matching numbers 895, in Bernies favourwite Signal Wed. The time set to restore: 3 minutes. Bernie visits an Italia specialist in Dudley whereupon he stumbles over a complete interior in check, tiger stripes in exchange for a cup of Rosie Lee.
A Sherman Tank
Some great period footage from the Boer War and Bernie and Mario find a Sherman Tank down the back of the Sofa to restore. The time set to restore is the same time it takes Bernie to sing "Daiiseee Daiisee give me yaw answer do". An hilarious scene sees the tank painted pink with flowers on after the wrong paint was ordered. Happily the right paint (desert camo) is applied to the tank and DM values the tank as priceless as there was 'significant evidence the tank had featured during the first Gulf War"
By which time the series wins the category for Best Documentary and Best Factual Program.

About last nights episode, are 1970's 1000cc classic Mini's with Cooper stripes added on really worth £5000 these days? I could not believe they payed over £700 for a Mini with a rotten floor!
