Of course it's a fake. It's a light entertainment televisual offerng. Not a "How to". As such, it's a great show with two engaging hosts.

I thought that Andy, it only sold a couple of weeks ago, the guy paid £12300 for it. Mike got it for £7000, if they did the job properly and sorted everything, they will have made a small amount, I'd say it would have been around £2500 parts plus ( a lot) of 'free' labour. They spent £850 on throttle alone, surely they did some cosmetic work that wasn't mentioned.

I thought the programme was pretty good, don't know who was nerdy enough to spot a bit of advertising on my behalf??
The only point I thought they laboured was that it costs a fortune to sort out a bad one, which is true. They spoke highly of the car and its VFM so all in all, good for all of us involved in the marque as owners, specialists, sales etc.

I know where my money would go Dicky........to you........That car was the wrong side of 10k as far as I'm concerned.

I know "It's a fake" but I didn't expect them to hide the fact and ban anyone who challenges them in public about it. Mike gets some abuse from the internet about his weight and has publicly made that announcement but I really didn't expect to be banned from a comments section on a FB page for simply mentioning and pointing out some glaring omissions.

Oh well, you live and learn.

I do not see the point of getting upset over a television programme. One thing most reality programmes aren't is real.

I have no issue with how much is spent/made on this programe by the company...and yes somone has got a bargain in process and one more 3200 on the road for a few years. ..

But yet! !!!....if this makes daft punters think I could do that Im afraid there would be lots more posts on here by desperate owners trying to fix cars that were/are potential money pits.

Do you think they got a bargain at 12500 Pete......I think they paid too much...As above..too many miles for 12500.......You can get much better for that money.

I'm not getting upset I'm trying to point out that they have yet again deceived the public by not telling the full story etc.... Please don't take it any other way.

I understand your point. However, I think that the word "deceive" is too strong. I would wager that the overwhelming majority of viewers don't give a monkey's about the selling price.

Most just want to watch Tubbs growl, " 'old ahrt yer 'and. Yoov juz bort yorselv a firty too 'undred." :D

I feel disappointed now that Dicky never said that to Jo as she bought his 3200 :)
