At least they seem to do a decent job restoring the cars

The restoration scene seems to be ripe with effectively fraud. TV personality shows are just that, a show.
Steer well clear would be my advice.

He got upset that some of the program isn't real life.
Its a show and why would you be a restorer when your main income is presenting shows with nice income
Btw anyone know where the last series of Goblin works garage was filmed? its close to Manchester but can't quite get my head around the area. its probably less then 5 miles from me.

If he gets that upset about Car SOS he wants to look at some of the other car shows.

I think his problem is that they ignored his request for them to refurb his car on the show.

Only man I liked was Fred Dinbah, he had his share of failures but got stuck in.

I once came across a mechanics forum where a car SOS vehicle was being discussed by the guy who had to MOT it the first time after work was completed. Most of his negative comments were from the view of a perfectionist , but he also posted a video of some very poor welding which it looked like someone had attempted to bury under a thick layer of seam sealant. It didn't come to anything, the welding was sufficiently strong to pass, but it looked as bad as if I did it

Talk about taking the fun out of watching telly. Checking their accounts to see if they really do employ people and who owns the business etc. Why can't a company use self employed mechanics etc to help renovate cars ? Seems kinda logical to me. Ok so maybe they told a few fibs about who owns and runs the garage but who gives a f**k ?

Methinks they simply don't want to renovate an old clapped out worthless campervan called Betty, simples. He's prolly made himself a right nuisance gobbing off and then apologising and seemingly forever contacting Fuzz, loike a stalker.

Old VW campervan's named Betty can be money pits. My old neighbour had one. It became a sort of community project. Spent untold hours sorting it out before something else went.

My daughter's over in the IOW. They had an orange VW Camper dumped outside her house for ages and managed to track down the owner to get it moved.
I wonder.
