I LOVE that show!

Mike was on a Skype chat a few weeks ago, and there was a webchat at the same time - He answered a few of my questions.

One was why Edd didn't use more air tools - he said they would screw up the audio.

At least they kept the hosts.
Hopefully they won't have shitty american writers creating unfunny jokes.

the work that they do is actually believable and they actually show it being done...or at least a portion of it.

I was watching one tonight where they fixed up a Miata...made me want to go buy one.....

I watched the episodes on the WRX- changing the clutch.
Now I know why Davepar hates them :)

Dealer charges close to 3000$ to do a clutch on a WRX.  Told my son, you break it, you pay for it.  He was not into clutch dumping.

Miatas are very neat little cars that are a blast to drive.

Should at least include a hand job at that price.

getting to it on an awd car is not a lot of fun.

heck, it took me about 75 bolts just to get the downpipe and exhaust off.  They are put together very well.
