Arghh!! Missed it was it any good?

 

[johnymd]

is it to repeat?

 

[Pete]

TBH it wasn't that great, said some nice things about the car and spoiler alert
















they fitted fuel injection, although getting the manifold and throttle bodies made was interesting!

 

[Rob Gaskin]

I was approached about this. I 'supplied' the blue car ( a member's, hope it was featured) and was asked about exhausts systems etc but tbh they said they could source everything.

Was a 370Z featured too?

Yes

I didn't see the show but surprised to see the car on ebay, item no. 162050080959 (sorry I'm on ipad using the app or would have linked)

I thought the show was about reuniting a car with the owner who is sick etc.... Shame they had to sell so soon?

You're confused :

"This 240Z was driven by Fuzz and Tim on last nights episode of CAR SOS ( 28th April )."

NOT the restored car.

 

[Mr.G]

Ahh.. Gotcha!

All that work and if ever you wondered about the quality of the work just take a look at the nuts securing the front legs to top turret under the bonnet.

That says it all to me

An absolute pet hate, a 2 minute job to remove

Gets worse no white paint on the brush when touching up the badges !!!!

The 370Z was my car. Renegade Productions approached nissansportz.com and I was lucky enough to have my car chosen:

Certainly an interesting day's filming

 

[SeanDezart]

So, is he the tool we all think he is ?

 

[Paul_S]

Which one, Tim?

 

[SeanDezart]

which one, tim?

i quite like fuzz townshend, ex drummer from pop will eat itself and the wonder stuff ex editor of practical classics or something, but tim shaw is a proper knob.

[Paul_S]

Haha!

Well, in person he comes across as a likeable bloke. The 2 of them share a good deal of banter and their friendship is genuine. There was a lot of opportunity to chat with everyone during the filming (when all the cameras were being set, etc.)

Obviously he plays the fool on the show and that's not to everyone's taste!

 

[Paul_S]

Oh, and just to add. He was telling me how he's always been a fan of German engineering and has owned a long line of BMW M cars, however he has recently bought an R35 GT-R

FYI, for anyone with Sky, this episode is available on demand.

It's TV, so obviously a bit cheesy and staged here and there, but I liked the car. Interesting seeing the Jenvey throttle bodies being cast. Fitted on a Mangoletsi manifold too.

Have to say I'm quite partial to the 907 green.

Very diplomatic Paul!!
