Thanks for the link, now that was worth watching. Maybe thats where the 2 Channel 5 'experts' got their 911 skills!

Maybe they spent too long with Leepu.

Julie,

by hell this got people talking. Some great comments and I couldn't have said it better myself.

What a terrible programme. I won't be watching the repeat, how about you?

 

[jukn]

No i definitely won't be watching but its great to see some interaction on the forum!

Just watched it there, what a shame

They took a 70's 911, talked about originality keeping the value etc. I really thought they were going to do a proper resto... which is what you'd do to maximise profit.

Anyways, long story short, they painted it Ford Focus ST orange, it's got a horrible fibreglass copy front bumper on it, a whale tail off the wrong car, it's got the incorrect engine in, wrong interior, the list goes on. They've made it look like one of those replica's that crop up on ebay from time to time.

You just don't get it! This is not suppose to be a serious program. It is meant to be a total wind up/joke. There is no other sensible explanation as these guys are obviously professionals. Priceless. []
