Practically Classics Forum

There are a couple of clips online now:

It's not impossible that they would put up whole episodes.

Just wondering, I assumed that this station, NG was a nature/widlife type channel, so it seems odd to be having a car resto show on it?

Anyway, it sounds to me like its a UK version of the US show "Overhaulin"??? Looking forward to it though, hope it lives up to expectations .


First show, Fiat Spider,Jeep,VW Beetle,Cosworth.Dont know after that.

Yes,I've come to learn that the channel is only via Sky or Virgin

I haven't got a clue what that is,sounds like one of the baddies in Star Trek

It's one of Google's operating systems and there's a National Geographic channel streaming application that runs on it, in this case via an older laptop and my phone. The app is simply a browser that works properly with HTML5 video format (gradually replacing Flash across the board).
This is downloaded from a PC and installed from there to the Android devices. Works exactly the same on Chrome OS so those who downloaded and installed that or had a Chromebook for Christmas will be able to watch too.

The first episode goes out tonight at 8-00pm on Nat Geo. As Fuzz said it isn't like any of the other programes on car resto's this is real. NO filler and blow over and work done to a tight budget. The work was done as required. All had ligit MOT's. No shell swaps and fudging. Sit back and enjoy. Thank you for the experience Fuzz and Tim.

It must be because Fuzz is starring in it he's into the wild life

Aha thanks,looks interesting

Just caught the last half and now watching again on +1.

So far pretty impressed.

Fuzz, I have a whole barn in need of help!!!!!!!

That was pretty good Good to see the typical PC style of "roadside" repair at the last possible second to get it ready.

It wasn't a set up for the programme it did happen. We had a few of those.

Keep watching, the restorations get better and better and the time available gets less. Nice to see the guys behind the camera got a mention.

I like it so far.They must have known a sixties/seventies Fiat was going to be rusty.I think they skipped over a lot of the repairs though.

Simple fix on the starter....Fuzz knows his stuff alright


Did anyone notice the "PRACTICAL CLASSICS" sign behind Fuzz?........
