Bobbeh Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Anyone else watch this? I love it... especially seeing old dogs having some life breathed back into them... kinda makes me want to do the same I even like it when they take off most of the chav accessories on some of their cars and then return them to original - actually appreciating the cars for what they were. I wish they'd do a Supra or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I don't particularly like Mike Brewer and I get the impression he talks shite and doesn't know much, but I do enjoy watching Edd work on the cars. Re:Chavving/DeChavving. I'm sure I remember them chavving up a Rover hatchback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 American Hotrod is cool, but its all repeats, theres no new series that I know of. Overhauling is my fave minus the annoying presenters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 What bugs me about Mike Brewer, is that he has to sit on every bloody car, even after Edd's just spent bloody ages respraying it. And he never makes a real profit, for example (figures pulled out of head, dont worry it didnt hurt!): Budget £3000 Rust Bucket £2000 This leaves me £1000 wha hey hey Edd spends a week or two doing it up and spends £900 on parts and paint. Mike sells it for £3200. Wha hey hey, £300 profit Actually Mike, no, you didnt add LABOUR into your budget, which would no doubt have come close to a grand, so really you've lost £700 you prick!

JohnA Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I like it when they add up the costs and they barely break even. And they haven't even allowed a *penny* for all these hours working on the cars. It just shows how easy it is to pay too much for a project 'base' and then keep throwing good money after bad - then trying to tweek the figures to avoid the embarassment of a loss when it's sold. They try to pass it a bit as an 'investment' when it really is a hobby (see black hole for your spare energy and cash) I like the series by the way.
