I watched the Aston Martin episode last night, it's lucky they don't really have to make a living selling cars or they would starve.

It's a fun show to watch, but as mentioned, they don't make any money on the cars to speak of, and I'm not sure I'd use the word "restore" to describe what they do.

Still, I keep watching.

A fun show to watch for entertainment value, but I don't think their interpretation of what 'restore' means would synch with too many other's definition. I think their main focus is to get their 'projects' to pass the MOT so they can legitimately 'move them along' to new owners.

It almost seems a shame that they tackle some of the repairs to a decent enough standard, and then ignore other things that would just seem like good things to tackle while they're at it.

Gotta' love those Brits!
