He had a Mk3 with a Mustang engine in too! :lol:
I wonder what's happened to that, I haven't seen any photos of it at shows.

Edit: I've just checked and the MOT expired in September '21.

Re: Shed & Buried Classic Cars

I know Sam Lovegrove lives near my wife’s family in cornwall as her cousin said he sees him shoping in Redruth. It's nice to hear of TV personalities leading normal lives. It's strange to think of them shopping or filling their car with petrol. You'd think they'd have staff to do it for them! :lol:...

Re: Shed & Buried Classic Cars

I like the concept of Henry Cole's output. His production company make some terrific programmes.


I just wish he didn't present them though.

I like the idea of having a car collection, but who's got the time to maintain a fleet of classic Fords? Except Danny, obviously! :lol:

The last time I looked he was selling up all his stock and the website too so looks like he has finshed.

Re: Weston super Mare Pageant of Transport, March 30/31st 2024

Imagine what those people are like when they watch a comedy show. I don't understand the concept of removing offensive shows from streaming services. Little Britain is so well known, somebody searching for it would know exactly what content it may contain (or did contain!). Why would somebody watch...

The trailer for me was a hit,

This show looks really cool,
To watch it is my goal,
It makes Car SOS look like :turd: .
