Edd China's Back!

[MiniDave]

With his own show - Edd China's Garage Revival. I'm looking forward to it!

That's great   I Just posted here last week wondering about what he was doing and when he would surface. That didn't take long!

 So, where can we see this new show?   

And, anyone else notice that the premise of this show seems awful lot like the Velocity show, Garage Squad?   (i.e. van arrives with expert(s) to help car enthusiast with stalled project)   Still, I'd watch Edd China (or James May) doing any kind of work.

Years ago there was a similar show. Can't recall the name though.

I was thinking garage squad too, you're right.  What was that other one...wasn't "chop/cut/rebuild" was it?

Some of those car shows have WAAAY too much drama for me and I watch them once; maybe twice.

The Wheeler Dealers is far less Drama.  Edd China tries to stick with the facts and for that reason, I watched it.

There are likely a dozen car shows I refuse to watch, but I am sorta likin' "Iron Resurrection" out of Texas I think it is.  Much less drama, but a little bit of BS too, which I don't care for.  No show is perfect for everyone :-(

That's the Martin Brothers. shop.  They were huge in the custom chopper era, Ive been enjoying their show.  Actually stopped by their shop while we were in Fredericksburg.

1st episode?

[gr8kornholio]

Looks like it said "pilot" in there somewhere.  Maybe putting it out to see the response before they go full fledged production run.

[MiniDave]

I'll bet they have several already done and more to come, dunno if this is just a YouTube only deal or what......

[BruceK]

I finally watched this pilot episode.  It was okay, but it seemed a little dry and stiff. 

[MiniDave]

Looks like it's going to take a slightly different direction, with him and another professional going to tackle the complete restoration of a 68 E-type. From the pics I saw, it's in really terrible condition too......
