Wooooooooo!!

The sixth series started on Monday, and I for one was stoked to hear the Gas Monkeys were back. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but when I first discovered this show a couple of months ago I got totally hooked on it. I love seeing the old American cars they work on, and it's just an all round great show, full of facts and humour.

Oh, and get you some of this too...

My wife and I really enjoyed that show when we discovered it, but it is WAY to cheesy and scripted now. All the new episodes revolve around ways that Richard can sell himself and make an extra penny. It's less about flipping cars and more about shameless self promotion.

I tried watching the first season but the repair and refinish work they were doing was just horrid cleaning up crap for auction. The dude is a bit of a character and did a good job promoting himself for what appears to be a huge payday. And I would take a car guy over a Kardashian any day.Wink

Speaking of old cars, as much as I try not to get involved in any restorations I do tend to get sucked into a paint job or two. A 55 T-Bird just rolled out of here on a trailer looking super slick. I was so ready to see it leave I didn't even bother to snap a pic...lol.

This one was pretty fun though as the customer tried to do everything himself and built a bit of a fire breathing little VW bug. I schooled him along on all the body work and priming getting it ready to paint. He brought the body in on 4 big casters and we finished it up and got it painted for him. He put it up for sale a couple years later and Jesse James/West Coast Choppers bought it. Ended up in a WCC calendar at the mall.Laughing Good looking little car and hauled ass pretty good.

He's helping with my buddy's Top Fuel Funny car effort, so I'll keep watching if that's what it takes.

I've had a few beers in his bar too.

The first season of Fast N' Loud was good. It seems like it just sucks now.

Cant stand richard,total dick,the weird beard is the man.

The show where those guys tricked that dumass into snorting liquor up his nose was funny.

And,when they did the bike build and was shit talking about Jesse James family on the net. Jesse was going to beat Richards ass on stage ,ole richard was shaking,pretty funny.

I have seen the Cartoon truck, the tow truck one, the vw trike one. and the falcon one. Is there more of them and if so is there anywhere to watch them online?

They do some cool builds and they butcher some stuff too. I'm a car guy so its hard for me to look at it as anything but entertainment. I prefer the old Discovery biker build offs myself.

He has some nice VWs, A split an oval a notch and this one. I like these wheels, I want some for a mini truck I'm building.

Same here, it has gone downhill in my opinion.

I do like Counting Cars, something about that dude just seems genuine and I dig it.

This is the only car show I can watch. The rest of them are too personality driven and drive me nuts with all the phony deadline crap. This show is pretty much buying a car, fixing it up, and selling it for a profit.

No, you are correct. Only thing worse would be that Leepu and Pitbull abortion.

This one?



This one is British as well but I think it's quite a nice show.



This show scraps cars instead of restoring them. (The best thing one can do with most vintage cars)

I can't watch Car SOS - Tim Shaw does my head in trying to be all 'ard. Fuzz is a cool guy though.

Wheeler Dealers is just a straight up car show, no nonsense or arsing around, just pure car building. I've learned a lot from watching Edd tinker with cars on that show.
