A cracking start (pardon the pun).
Just go's to show that you need to keep an eye on those old X-pag engines. Not the first one I've seen with cracks like that.

At least the next car (Dart) is something Fuzz is familiar with.

Wow that dart is pretty. How ever many hours went in to getting the paint looking that good?!?!
btw, the 1980s hair suits Tim ;)

Cracking job on the Dart, but I would have kept the original wheels just to be different.

I really hope that no-one makes this available on torrents so that I can see it out here in the middle east

Watched the Dart one - fantastic, really unusual looking cars, proportions look all wrong but a very distinctive and individual car.

Loved the colour, Tim challenging David Manners was really funny, first rate bit of television

Just caught the end of the one before for the MGTF before the Dart one, I thought the Dart one was the first in the series though?

Really looking forward to the rest in the series. Well done to all involved.

It's poor old Phil I feel sorry for :P

Enjoyed both Monday, I did like the MG. I think what sets this aside from those 'other' shows is the real life human story that goes along with the car, rather than being just out to make a quick profit with a tub of filler.

I think Tim let's the show down, I don't like his on-screen persona at all. I suppose it's like all the people who are annoyed by Mike Brewer on Wheeler Dealers.

You can't compare Tim Shaw to Mike Brewer. Tim's nothing comapred to what he was like in some of his previous radio presenter jobs.
