I fear Nat geo will insist on injecting more theater to the show,it has crept in a little bit recently,it seems all they want these day is a drama or punch up, a bit like that program with Bernie...pure acting with little actual content.

"You've been Car SOS'ed" at the end of every episode?

Do you think that Tim is XZibit's car restoring alter ego? (or possibly his surname used to be westwood and he changed it so fewer people would punch him whenever he was seen in public)
On the plus side the Car SOS keyfob is nice :)

Wimp my ride?

I just wonder how much the parts people put on the bill before they give Tim the "big" discounts. Perhaps I'm just being a little cynical - they probably give everyone the same discount!!

Seeing as price is never discussed I suspect there is no discount and it's just for show.
Job creation for former Channel 5 presenters. He has to do something when he isn't trying to sell Jeeps (why does driving to a steam railway or to take a hot air balloon ride require a jeep?!?!)

Ah the classic tones Of Bernie Fineman.

Landrovers and Welding go together like Bread and Butter. And in the wet they are about as structurally sound

Don't think that would help. Both of em would get a good kicking.

Which is unfortunate as I'm generally a fan of seeing a pair of tits. Just not THAT pair...
