car SOS

great episode this week on More 4 - 74 year old suffering from Parkinsons duped by cowboy car restorers who conned him out of £25k supposedly restoring his 1961 Austin Healey 3000 :x Tim and Fuzz stepped in to rebuild it - heart rendering to see but as always with a happy ending at the reveal as for the car - what a beautiful machine well worth a watch on catch up

Yes, and so we now have the BBC playing catch-up with The Repair Shop. I don't think their technicians have the same depth of expertise though. For example, one episode had a guy making a shallow tray out of a square sheet of metal but he didn't drill four small holes before cutting the square corners out like we were taught in metalwork lessons at school. So what other horrors are they committing whilst "restoring" Edwardian teddy bears etc.?!
