Mainly the two 'stars' that err, star in it.

That is so true but I like to see what they do to get round problems. The better program is 'Classic Car Rescue'.

Classic car rescue? With Bernie and Mawio?? Are you on drugs???????????

I love Marios attitude. So entertaining the pair of them.

Well I watched the Stag one........saw Red Robbo in one of the news clips, I new him via a friend. As for the Stag I still think it was a disaster on wheels and let's not blame the workers.

Next time it is that awful awful Mini. I used to hang upside down to do the points. Arghhhhhhh.

How dare you slate the classic mini and to do the points why not just take the grill off

Gotta agree with Mark on this. The classic Mini was excellent.

Can't remember why I didn't do that. It has been a lifetime since I worked on one. Done a few oversprays on them though.
I hated them but I liked the Austin 1100!!!

Austin 1100! Austin 1100!
I used to dream of owning an Austin 1100.
So I got a Moggy 1000 with red leather seats and a 2.2 straight 6 in it.

Excellent, must have gone the proverbial!!

The oldest I've had was a AJS 500, BSA Starfire C15 (with apehangers), Viva HA, Wolseley 1500 and a Consul 375. Happy days!

A classic mini is a cracking car. My last one was a 1964 pickup, fitted discs and and 1310 lump, went very well and looked awesome

You remember the Sunbeam Rapier then I bet. My first car was a sit up and beg Ford with rod brakes. Gave it some repairs, painted it and I sold it to the milkman.

So, he must have been the fastest milkman in the West. I really liked the Rapier, but the Tiger was more looney.

Was the tiger used in other things beside the Alpine? I had an Alpine and it came with a hard top. I could never use the hard top because me head was higher then the windscreen. Another motor I really hated. Talking of milkmen it couldn't even see off a milk float. I think I owned it for about 6 weeks.
