Favourite Motoring Show?

[derrick]

I guess you all have one that you watch, more than others, all of you Petrol-Heads out there?

I'll nail my colours to the mast

Top Gear
I like Flintoff & Harris, they work well
(albeit not as good as Clarkson, May & Hammond did)
The McGuiness guy bugs the hell out of me

I remember it in the days of Angela Rippon & William Woollard
(the trio of Vicki Butler-Henderson, Quentin Wilson & Tiff Needell worked for me too)


Fast n Loud
AKA; the Richard Rawlings ego-show?
Aaron Kaufman is watchable, & they turned out some fantastic work
(I still want the '78 Trans-Am that they built for the 'Bandit Challenge')

Sin City Motors
Love it!!
I'd have most of their builds, although sadly they're impractical over here
Plus downright illegal
They may have problems with emissions testing too

Diesel Brothers
Again, yes please!!!
Same constraints as 'Sin City Motors'

There was a TV special, where Sparks Motors (Diesel Brothers) went head to head with Welderup

Salvage Hunters :Classic Cars
I so want that Range Rover they found in Spain


Ice Road Truckers/Train Truckers
Sadly they both suffer from a degree of sensationalist graphics

Super Truckers
I used to see the Metcalfe Farms trucks about, on the A1

Oops!!
I forgot to add Goblin Works Garage
Some gorgeous builds, particularly the bikes
Although the engineering of the Fiat 500 was lovely

You left the best one off. Shed and buried. Henry Cole.

Also recommended is Bitchin' Rides and of course Goblin Works

Argh!!
I forgot about Bitchin', aka 'Kindig Customs'
I loved that Copper Caddy, & the white Mustang that was as clean underneath

Well, any of Daves builds
I've known about FutureLIners for a lot of years

Wheeler Dealers - but only the series with Edd China. Fast forward through Mike Brewer sections. Watch Car SOS but Tim Shaw annoys the hell out of me.

Also from our Enry..... Junk & Disorderly and World's Greatest Motorcycle Rides.

And not forgetting "Hub Nut" on YouTube.
His vlogs are brilliant 👍

No, just no, Mr no personality, sorry I like the stuff that they do, but he annoys me as much as Brewer but for different reasons

He does come across as a bit of a twonk, but he makes me laugh..... at him of course, not with him.
Did you ever see the show where he called a Gixxer a Gee Zee ?

The kids love sin city motors so I inevitably end up part-watching some of their builds. Having dabbled with cars all my/their lives, including a recent full Land Rover rebuild, we always end up discussing how we could make something similar (if we had a workshop, a stack of cash and no need to work for a living! ).

The programme certainly has appeal to people of that ilk.

Sorry, came across this, whilst looking for another thread
I had a read, so will drag it kicking back into the light

@I like Skol

And you liked 'Sin City Motors' for the apprentice
Curiously, my wifes appearances into the room seemed to coincide with Twiggy........

Been lucky enough to visit some of these in person.

Top Gear, Counts Kustoms, WelderUp, Gas Monkey Garage, Misfit Garage, Wheeler Dealers (LA version), Kingdig Customs and West Coast Customs.

I like Rust Valley Restorers, just for the fact they restore classic American muscle cars. But there's hardly any emphasis on the doing. It's pretty much a fly on the wall soap opera. But I've watched them all. Some funny characters.

Same with Car Masters: Rust to riches. But it's still entertaining and takes itself more seriously.

I always found TG was only good with May, Clarkson and Hammond. Before that it was a bit "ford escort". After that it was too Bugatti Veyron.

I love wheeler dealers just because there's actual insight into how to fix certain issues. Yes Mike is a twonk but I guess you need a bit of good cop, bad cop. I get what they're trying to achieve but it comes across very amateur

On YouTube, I like "The Late Brake Show". Also "Smith and Sniff", previously video, more recently as a podcast.

I'd like to visit 'Welderup', 'Kindig'
Plus 'Sparks Motors' (Diesel Brothers)

Unfortunately,it would mean a visit across 'the pond'
