That's a cool show.

The glossing over of the labor cost is a bit irritating.

And Ed drives me crazy doing all sorts of work, including power tools under the car, without glasses.
I can't fathom how he gets away with it.


Wheeler Dealers is awesome. You should have seen the early episodes when he had even less tools, skill and they had zero budget. Rattle can paint jobs and 90% of the work done with a screwdriver, pliers and a hammer.

I miss the show on speed channel about 5 years ago I think called "build or bust".  The owner of the shop is Russell (I think from Britain)  excile cycles.  It was a great show.  The challenge was for a builder compete for a chance to build a bike.  The builder has to pretty much fabricate and build a bike by himself in 30 days.  If the bike started and met all the requirements, then the builder got to keep it.

Awesome cars and some cool mechanical stuff, but Wayne Corini's boring as hell! That grumpy old mechanic's awesome. They should give him a show.

so much cooler stuff happening in motorcycling that I wish they'd cover besides drama-fest OCC.

They could cover the invited builders to Born Free and have more material than they could use in 5 years than a year's worth of OCC bullshit.
