[Jasonmarie]

I might have to do a you tube channel on how to upset your mother in law , we get her dove stuff from boots at xmas and last year she said I bloody hate dove . I told her that’s why we get it for her .

Also she had the bath removed and turned it in to a wet room and I told everybody she had it done as she was to big to get out the bath

I stayed up to watch F&L. Unfortunately, the Lotus Cortina was barely mentioned in the show, however, the main focus was a Shelby Mustang, so it's not all bad!

Andrew.

Part 2 of this episode featuring the Cortina sale, this Friday at 9pm and repeated Saturday at 5 pm.

Apparently the Lotus Cortina with 18000 miles and original paintwork, sold for 65000 dollars (around £50500) in this 2013 episode....

I wonder what the Cortina would sell for now, assuming that it's in the same condition as in the show?
I didn't see this episode, but I did remember to watch the Wheeler Dealers one with the Alfa.Great episode, but they don't seem to be making much money in the UK so far this series.

I would think around 60k for the Cortina now.

Yes the Alfa episode was good, mainly down to Edds repairs as usual...Didn't make alot of money on it did they
You can see the tension starting to creep into the workshop when Brewer is there.

Nice find Andy!
Capri drivers eh?
It's great fun watching the bits of these old programmes that were filmed outside on real streets. Most of the cars in that clip are rarely seen nowadays.

Very funny and yes cars on pavements , when I was in Guys Hosiptal and got my powerchair I would brake out at night or during the day and did get caught out with the doctor driving in spotted me on Tower Bridge .

Can’t beat a bit of Alf garnet ...

Thanks for the heads up on this I do enjoy this , as the phone looked hard but turned out very easy in the end . It’s fault finding that would stuff me .

Thanks for the heads up, Andy.
I've only ever seen the telephone episode and quite enjoyed it.

Did anyone else watch WD RS 2000 rally car?

It had a pair of 3.0S Carla Fishnets which were taken out to fit rally spec seats....
Wonder what happened to them, along with the rest of the interior that was not required

Hi Andy,
Yes, I watched it this morning. I'm sure I've seen that episode before though. I get the feeling that the only reason they prepared the car for rallying was just so they could film the Edd vs Mike rally scenes and add a bit of drama for the programme. They definitely would have made more profit by keeping it standard, in my opinion.

Don't tell Jason about the fishnet headrests.......

Yes it was a nice car and imo they should have painted the engine bay and boot area the same as body colour. LHD will always be more awkward to sell, but I agree keeping it as a road car they would have spent less and probably made more than £600 profit.

What fishnets headrests

That's the end of this series, I didn't see the Hornby episode so I'll have to find that on YouTube. The other episodes have been good, very enjoyable. As you say, in theory it should be the most boring hour of television ever. However, in practice it makes great TV mainly because of James who, I think, suits the show perfectly.
Hopefully it will be back for another series.
