I quite like Mark Evans who has done series on rebuilding E types MGB's motorbikes and off road Land Rovers
Not that keen on Mike Brewer but Ed China is interesting to watch when , this week , he's working on a BMW 840

I whole heartedly agree with that but not without the owners consent :wink:chrisyork said:Hmm. That's sacrelage to part of Britains automotive and sporting history. On the other hand, I do approve of driving cars as they were meant to be driven and picking up any repairs after....

Oh, bo11ocks! That's exactly how that C-type is supposed to be driven! Hamilton was a right prat over that.

Works drivers were always doing donuts and burning out clutches and twisting shafts?
I must relearn all I've ever been taught about engineering and respect of others property :roll:

I've looked after various very rare racing cars with great history and have raced myself, my old man still races Classic bikes so I am well aware what's involved to look after them and what indeed is poor treatment as I'm still in the trade :|
I think we'll just agree to differ on how certain things should be treated and what's considered entertaining. After all, I think they chose not to air the antics in the end didn't they? :wink:
I think you'll find what's on Youtube is what they did air :wink:EccentricRichard said:GrimV8 said:'A classic racing car that once won the Le Mans 24 Hours race was left with a burned-out clutch, damaged drive shafts and bald tyres after an "idiotic" test drive for BBC2's Top Gear.'

You really believe anything the Standard or its sister papers say? More fool you! The 'damaged drive shafts' bit was a total concoction. Also, the "antics" were aired, and can be found on YouTube, or torrents, or whatever.
