colr6 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Posted October 8, 2019 The American move was down to Discovery insisting it was filmed out there, may be down to costing over the UK.

Thats the bit of the show that always annoyed me, even when he sells the cars back to their original owners.. 1

So he was really that bad then? After they got rid of Ed China it was like he thought his part of the show was more important that the restoration part. But he seems to do next too nothing, at least none of the hard work.
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted October 9, 2019 Moderator Report Posted October 9, 2019 I didn't know Ed had started his own show but I stumbled across the Pilot episode.

Can you get this channel online over with you? Not a resto programme, but still very interesting and also fairly current. https://yesterday.uktv.co.uk/shows/bangers-and-cash/ 1

I just had a quick look, I couldn't seem to see anywhere to download it like I have done with some of the others. If its new it may just take a bit of time to trickle through. I will keep checking till I can get to watch it thanks.

accord83 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 I've never forgiven Mike Brewer for ruining my nightly Isle of Man TT update show the year ITV4 had him presenting it back in 2009. He was like the annoying kid at school no one liked but who was always jumping into where he wasn't wanted. I cannot watch the guy.
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted October 11, 2019 Moderator Report Posted October 11, 2019 I just watched an episode of wheeler dealers and Mike Brewer is selling the BMW Estate they fixed up and the young chap makes an offer and Brewer takes a shot at him asking why does everyone seem to think they can drive down the price from what was asked? After all the people he screw down on price if you do the same in reverse he gets stroppy about it!

Love a new vid especially when im stranded at home. Nice workshop. Has owed over 50 Escorts and can remember rally car number plates but doesnt know the codes to tell what the shell was? Yeah right! LOL I did toy with the simple hubcap look for my Twincam except being bright orange it kind of takes away that understated Q car type look that they often try to achieve with white ones. 1

notenoughtime Posted March 29, 2020 Report Posted March 29, 2020 You’ve probably seen the pure silver mk2 Escort with the diamond headlights model? He’s building a mk1 Escort now 1

Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted March 29, 2020 Moderator Report Posted March 29, 2020 On the new Top Gear note, you know I quite like it and the three show hosts. They have the traditional bloke banter but they don't get as malicious as the originals with a bit more respect between them and helping each other when needed. I used to hate Richard Hammond constantly ramming his door open into the side of the others cars whenever he pulled up and got out of his own car. It always seemed a bit petty. The new guys have their jibes but its never taken to extremes. So Im definitely liking this latest incarnation. The grand tour is dead. With only 2 episodes this season and the first didn't even have cars in it and no more car audience discussions, Amazon tweaked the winning formula they paid top dollar for into oblivion. 1 1

Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted October 28, 2020 Moderator Report Posted October 28, 2020 Just watching the latest series of Top Gear. I like this more with each Series as the new guys have settled in and work very well together. Interesting outdoor socially distant format but they still managed to bring along the 4 door Mk2 escort from their first series which is good to see. There are some great cars out in the audience. Are any of you guys there with your OSFs? In Episode 3 of the season they really pan the looks of a Pininfarina Ford Focus. I have never heard of this model before and thought it looked quite nice from the back whereas they seem to imply its universally considered ugly. Obviously a model we never got here. Anyone know more about them?
katana Posted October 28, 2020 Report Posted October 28, 2020 Just a Ford Focus - nothing special, sort of late 2000's into 2020 Escort equivalent that just happened to be designed / styled by Pininfarina! Sold in their millions. when onto become the Focus RS - so racing and Rallying is in its genes - bit of a 'Meh' car really!

Is it just a styling thing?
meXEco Posted October 28, 2020 Report Posted October 28, 2020 Specifically RP is talking about the CC convertible-it was designed by Pininfarina and has a 2 part folding roof. 1

Yes I have never seen those before. You can rent one for 15 Euros a day? Thats really cheap!
