    That MG RV8 in the background at the car lot is looking JIM DANDY!

    The only rubber bumper MGB I want!

    I just discovered that series a few days ago, and admit to have wasted a few hours watching various builds. Great fun watching them prepare cars to flip.

    What I have learned is that I never want to buy a "restored" car in the UK. Gotta admit these guys cover as much as they restore. Full resprays with nothing but a scuff on the top coat of paint does not inspire confidence.

    The other thing is that I hope they are making money from this other than selling the cars. The mark-ups that they get do not justify the labour put in to the projects.

    I wonder if the guy that bought that car got to see the video before it was broadcast. So in a few years he'll know why the paint is cracking! LOL
