Well, we do have Roger...


There are plenty of US-based proxy servers available for folks that want to access US content; Shirley there must be some in the UK for the Yanks to use.

Those guys on Classic Car Rescue are a couple of drama queen hacks.

Agreed. Its the worst of all the car shows on TV. Still, I'd much rather watch it than Say Yes to the Dress!

I tried a free UK based VPN recently called ukivpvn.com- it worked but was a bit slow- found it seemed to work best by latching to the site you want to watch and then disconnecting it whilst it was streaming- kept the connection until you changed page.

Just watched the back end of the 928GT episode. They buy cheap cars cheap it seems, with their GT purchase under $10k. More than doubled that with new paint, interior, parts and labor. Finished product ran nicely except for an original coolant hose that blew off. Looked mediocre on TV after the full respray, but it was in soggy old England after all.

I watched another episode where they restored an E Type ... what a crappy job with falsely hurried deadlines and multi drama thrown in.

I totally agree with Randy ... what a couple of tossers!

No, Classic Car rescue is a different show, and they just did a 928 GT. Not as good as the Wheeler Dealers show. I have both on my dvr. I would buy the wheeler dealers car, I would not touch the classic car rescue car.
