That's very cruel!

The 'robot' was made to promote a video game. It came into the workshop to be painted and the company ceased trading so being as it hadn't been paid for took up residence and now it's a conversation piece.

Sorry I meant to say when the episode with the problem paint went out but I hit submit before I had said. The fact it was repainted twice might be edited out with no mention of it. Just watch when it goes out on

Of course it could be a spy dumped there on the pretense that the "company would cease trading" and it would become a conversation piece....lurking there...watching your every move....be wary....personally I never trust robots .

I picture Tim more of a "Twiki" robot, rather than a Warhammer robot:

Bedebedebede.

Edit: of course, that's not at all because Tim's job, like Twiki's, is to carry the brains of the outfit... :twisted:

I am not going to get sucked into that line of posting. I would like to be on series 3 if there is one!

How straight was that Porshe? Thanks to the skill of Paul Betts, Richard Ball and Nathan Barber it ended up that good. The paint looked good on the 'box' but it was stunning up close. The shine was a foot thick trust me. It was an amazing sight to see that car droop when it was picked up and sag in the middle when it sat on it's wheels. If it had been in an accident however minor before all the that welding was done it would have been a fatality!! Next week on Car SOS........ Check out the NatGeo website. There's obviously a MKI Landie, and a Volvo Amazon because they've been shown in the trailers and opening credits. Keep watching it just gets better. :thumbs:

If there isn't then we have confirms there is no justice in this world!

Tim putting that biro in door gap and the noise it made as the car settled on it's wheels was horrible, I wasn't aware that these cars were prone to rusting, but maybe it was more down to the previous "repair" that so much structural rust had occurred, whatever the cause it was truely shocking. I noted the shine - how could you not!?!
