I found it to be dissapointing!
As with all these kind of shows everything is repeated that happened in last section at the start of the next. I recon of say an 1 hour show there is probably only 30 mins of actuall unique content.
After all when you read a book you dont get a basic rundown at the begginig of chapter 2 what happened in chapter 1

Nothing was covered in any detail, exept the cafe's and the cocanee slang no one is interested in!
Lets see some really dirty hands, sore knees, spanner rashes and lessons in getting siezed nuts and bearings off.

I liked the line "we reconditioned a piston"

That's a good trick if you can do it without taking the head off. All engine work was covered in about the same amount of time as they spent swearing at that stupid yank that reversed it into a parked engine.

but it did have a good shine!
