Thanks for the heads up.
This is one of the best car programmes, in my opinion. They tell it how it is, especially in terms of how long the works take, they don't claim to fully restore a car in a week like some other shows.

I usually avoid American T/V programmes as there's so much 'drama', but FW is great for the reasons you stated Andrew :cheers:

Boy do they spend some money on their cars. Way above what they are worth.I know that some seem to have sentimental value in one way or another but the only people making money on these cars is the garage.

It says on the DRS Automotive website that they don't want to be involved in filming the show anymore. Therefore, sadly, this series will be the last.
It will be a shame to lose this show, I've just watched the latest episode and I really enjoyed it. Still, I expect the episodes will still be repeated on Quest for a long while yet.

That’s a shame as it’s one of my favourites, I did wonder why the old boy with the goaty was as Dan seemed to be working with a young chap ?

That is a shame Andrew, but I suppose it couldn't last forever.

The finish they got on the Maserati without repainting it :shock:
