Favourite car TV show?

[Fanwheel]

What is your favourite car show?

Mine change as I get tired of watching too much of one thing, but my list is something like this:

Wheeler Dealers - used to be quite into it. Respect for Edd China, an engaging chap who knows his stuff. But the projects are a bit variable and I just find Mike Brewer irritating.

Top Gear - a bit worried about how the new bbc version will turn out, but will give it a go. Won't bother paying for the Amazon version.

The Classic Car show - interesting topics last year but the presenter banter was staged and cringeworthy.

For The Love Of Cars - quite enjoyed these. Will there be more?

5th Gear - always liked it although moderns aren't always interesting. Is it still going? Haven't seen it for ages.

Fast N' Loud - didn't like at first but having persevered, I get it now. If you can look past the silly beards I find it quite entertaining.

Car SOS - my consistent favourite. Whilst the format is similar each time the restorations look top and like the banter between Tim and Fuzz. The only car show my wife will watch

Overhaulin' I'd let Chip Foose loose on any of my cars, the guy's a genius!

Fast n loud Very good mechanics, but Richard's a bit of an arrogant knob ed

Bitchin' rides What they did to the GM Futurliner was most excellent and the rest of his cars are really very good

Used to watch American Hot rod, Coddington was a bit over the top sometimes, but his cars were on a par with anything that the European Design studios can come up with

Fast & Loud. entertaining and the amazing cars, Arron's cool, knows his stuff and isn't afraid to try new, outrageous things but I think Richard is a bit of a prat.

Sin City Motors. Whether you love or loath Rat Rods they do it their way... without compromise!

Wheeler Dealers. The most realistic cars/repairs/restorations BUT they never factor in Ed's time and workshop costs, if they were in business they would have gone bust years ago! Still good to watch though.

Top Gear. Have watched it all the way from the 70's when people like Angela Rippon, William Woolard and Chris Goffey presented it but for me the best line up was Tiff Needel, Jeremy Clarkson, Quenton Wilson and Vicky Butler Henderson. The Clarkson/May/Hammond shows were more about them than the cars. (maybe just showing my age)
Will be interesting to see what the next incarnation of the show looks like.

Anything WITHOUT Jeremy Clarkson ,Quentin Wilson,Mike Brewer and Chris Evans....don't leave much :grin:

started watching the Classic Car Show again but Quentin and whoever the girl is annoyed the hell out of me so dumped it after couple of tries.

Wheeler dealers I love but agree that they would be out of business very quickly, Ed Chine is superb.

Car S.O.S is another favourite, I keep dropping hints about my 60th birthday next year and my Puma in the garage :grin:

Street outlaws is probably the most entertaining for me but more about racing and their cars are drag cars really.

I would agree, apart from the odd thing where I'm like :shock: one that springs to mind is the mustang they did for Amber Heard (Johnny Depp's wife) and they butchered an electrical connector to get the bonnet to shut! Having said that, nobody is perfect.

Top gear was good, not sure about new one either

I watch most of the stuff mentioned above, but what about classic tv drama?

I have watched repeat after repeat of the Proffesionals and I got the Sweeney box set for Xmas and that's just superb for old cars. All those mk1 escorts and mk3 cortinas!
