Practically Classics Forum

I watched it, enjoyed it too.

If I was to criticise I would say can we have a bit more of Fuzz and a little less of Tim?

To qualify that statement; More of Fuzz doing the necessary to the car (body and mechanical repairs) and less of Tim fannying about. I have no idea who Tim is but he did seem to be mimicking the Jeremy Clarkson style of presenting which I find a little irritating.

That said, early days, I shall watch the rest and hope it goes on into forming many more series.

Well done to all involved.

Not a bad start, would like to see more things like welding and cutting out sills etc. Fuzz and co went over what was needed but we did not see much of the work being done.

Its was OK but too little technical stuff for my likings.
Also one minute the engine was started and running fine the next it was out and on the floor in bits.
The exhaust system.?? we dont even know how it looked when finished.
Still i guess there is only so much you can squeeze into an hour program.

Sure wish NatGeo would air this program here in the USA. We do get Wheeler Dealers however.

That was only 44 minutes after the ads had been taken out, wretched Meerkats.

44 minutes of good entertainment though

I thought it made a refreshing change to the usual rubbish that is churned out and I was glad there was no 'filling' with stupid arguments and unescessary 'tense' moments.

Looking forward to the next one

Very much so, yes. Now if I can just find a micro USB to scart, S-vid to scart or S-vid to S-vid cable, I'll be able to view the download on the telly. Material of that quality hasn't been seen since the original series of Salvage squad, IMHO.

The engine ran but not well so it was taken out to give it a good check over and flush out. The flushing was shown. All the brakes are checked over and all necessary work done. The restorations were NO filler and rattle can jobs.

TV has to be watchable for all so what is interesting for some is like watching paint dry for others. It is the first series and doesn't want to fall into the same type of programme as the others. Tim and Fuzz and the guys in front and behind the cameras and the film crew all get on fantastically well together and I think that comes across in the series.

Make sure you're infront of the 'box' every Thursday at 8-00pm NatGeo for the next 9 weeks. (Week one has gone)

Except for the "we must have the new hood made in three days" bit! That's the sort of false jeopardy which is one of the two main reasons I never watch "Time Team" (The other being the fact that it is presented by Tony Robinson)

Also it would be better with more car stuff and less "human interest".

Otherwise pretty good and worth watching.
