I saw it advertised, got it on my planner to watch later.

I actually quite enjoyed it

Bob · Monday, 13 January 2020, 07:54 AM

watched it and will watch another but nothing new to see, same old format, deadlines broken, budgets broken, paintwork wasn't what "the customer" wanted and that Superminx worth £15,000

Where did the surfboard on the roof rack thing come from, and I do remember the Hillman Minx quite well.

I used to watch BBC programs in Oz, by using a program called Expat it masked the IP address making them think you are a UK resident.

Just remembered when I was a young lad about 1969 my dad had a Super Duper Minx, it was the Humber Sceptre.

Video wont work for me, UK only it says. Must be Hillmans in it im guessing. My first car, 1955 Minx, amazing car. Tell me where the starter button lives. 1974 had 2 1961 Minx, One overheated and black fellas stripped in 2 days, just shell left, we had left on road. Next one we drove forever, Did Dampier to Mt Tom Price and back in Summer. 1000 k return. Over 40 degrees. Great cars.

I actually enjoyed it as well, no bullshit, tell it how it is sorta guy, made a pleasant change from all those yank, over-dramatizing & making big-deals out of simple stuff.

What is the regulations on cutting/ modifying frames in the UK, does one need to get an engineers certificate.

@Irish in Oz
I'm sure you can cut the frame on a one off but not sure about the s.v.a. stuff .
This being the cnc all will be legal but not really included in the program as that would affect the flow of the show.
There's normally a disclaimer hidden in the credits .
