Car SOS - New Series!!!
Re: Car SOS - New Series!!!
Are we sitting comfortably? Half hour to go...
Re: Car SOS - New Series!!!
Please accept my sincere apology for the joke about the drums on the Volvo Amazon. It was completely spontaneous. I expected it to be edited out. Contrary to popular belief nothing is scripted.
The finish on that car was fantastic. Another top job by Nathan Barber and Richard Ball. Nathan's the one with the pony tail. Apparently the Volvo agent in Denmark asked if Westgate could get the same finish on the new cars in the show room!! I'm hoping Nathan will paint my jeep tub when it's ready.

You sounded really happy about working on the OVLOV Phil

Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Extra day off on the end of Easter so up early to watch the amazon episode in the calm and quiet of what is an early morning.
Once again, a superb result and a worthy cause.

(and if you read this, go and look at my post in the "what classic did you see today" thread. I think you'll like it.)

Really enjoyable show. The best reaction to the finished car was the guy with the Cortina, priceless. The Amazon sitting in the Volvo showroom looked stunning.
As for slagging of other car shows, I'd rather watch 100 mediocre car shows rather than watch another cookery or DIY show

That's fair enough but Classic Car "Rescue" isn't mediocre, it's completely pants.Merp0 wrote:I'd rather watch 100 mediocre car shows rather than watch another cookery or DIY show
I do agree that the reaction of the gent with the Tina has a superb reaction but if you opened your garage and saw that inside it, your reaction would be amazing too. One thing you can say for the westgate team is they really know how to make a car look special.

The Cortina guy and his family are really nice folks and so appreciative of the work to get the car done. They came to Westgate earlier this year along with a few others including the guy with the MG TA and his family for a showing of the MG and the Porche programmes on a big screen. A super night with curry and tinnies laid on by Renegade Pictures. A chance to meet again some of the car owners. It made working to 4-00 am worth it!!
The TV doesn't do the finish on the cars justice. Oops I think I've just alienated all the film crew! Sorry.
Don't forget to nominate a worthy cause for the next series. Something simple, no rot, no missing parts, engine runs, good tyres, trim perfect.......
Check out the NatGeo website for what's on next Monday.
Did I tell there are some beautiful sunsets and sunrises over Westgate Classics.
