What really pisses me off is the stupid deadlines, the car has been off the road for 20 years but it has to be finished in 3 weeks - total bollocks!
Added to that the car goes from rot box to show car with only a fleeting glance at the work involved.
The argument is that it's a TV show and there is the entertainment side to consider but when you spend over half the show swearing at the TV as I do at the stupid stunts etc instead of focusing on the huge amount of work involved in turning a pile of rubbish into a safe road worthy car then it soon begins to wear a bit thin.
I suppose if you made a programme that truly showed the time and effort that went into a restoration the entertainment value would be pretty poor but at least it would be honest unlike these fantasy shows that we have at present.
Maybe I'm missing the point wih Car SOS, but it doesn't lend anything to the show imo.....The 3 week deadline is crap and I have never believed it as it takes months to do these cars properly.Paul G wrote:Here here!Caprigear wrote:The restorations that Mark Evans did were the best shows by a mile.

The only way they can do some of those sheds they do in 3 weeks is by borrowing or buying another identical car in good condition. In most of the shots of Car SOS you see cars from other episodes parked up in the background and I think this proves that they can't do all of them at the same time. At least with the Ford Anglia resto they admitted that they had bought another car.
I would guess they use the dummy car for the shots of them presenting the cars back to the owners and give them their real cars back at a later date when they have been fixed properly.

Quest is quite good for car shows at the moment, I've also been watching some of the older WD episodes, and they are much better than I remember them!
