I dislike the fat bastard, he shits me to tears

That made me choke on my drink 😁 Mike's alright really. In a second hand car dealer kind of way.

The glue that holds the show together ?

What I like about this show, as opposed to other similar programmes (or programs for those of you on the wrong side of the Atlantic 😉) is that they just get on with the car.

In some similar shows, the content is more about the presenters rather than the car and mechanics.

Hmmmmn! The glue....... well certainly something wet and sticky, but definitely something more organic and unpleasant than glue!

Not really into cars. Looks like something from the 1950s projected forward.

Always amazed that the cars of today do not look like the projected "cars of tomorrow."

True that. When I was a kid, this is what I was promised in the future:

Well, the future is here and I have no flying car. 🙄😜

Mom grew up in Palo Alto Ca, This is what she was promised.



Her Uncle actually built one and flew it down the street. Until the city told him not to as the fans damaged the pavement. They kick up a lot of dust. Used to sit under a tarp in the backyard.

We used to see the heliocopters parked next to the bridge on the way to the grandparents house.

Well the quad copter layout is pretty well the layout of the drones of today

Most people aren't all that adventurous, they wouldn't be prepared to buy anything that looks too radical, you just have to look at all the monochromatic white/black/beige/grey (it's not silver, if silver was really that colour no body would bother digging it up!) SUVs and shopping trolley hatchbacks that are a blight upon our roads......damned awful things all look the bloody same!

The worst part of flying cars is that you’ll still have goobers who like to work on their own cars.

That is fine for road going transport…but airborne….no thanks.

And you trust some of the dumbarse mechanics that are out there, back in the day when I was in the motor trade, I saw many an imbecile that was supposedly a qualified mechanic who wouldn’t know their arse from their armpit without having to have a sniff frirst!

I'm well aware of that, I spend about half my time fixing the cock ups of other so called experts......stupidity and laziness seem to be the root causes of most of them, the rest being down to absolute incompetence!
