an interesting fact. Maybe Ant will do a garage with her and Tarek

"The Flip or Flop designer, 34, who announced her split from husband of seven years and HGTV costar, Tarek El Moussa, 36, in December 2016, is dating TV presenter Ant Anstead, 38, a source confirms to PEOPLE.Jan 3, 2018"

I'd rather see them fixing up a 924 than getting all excited about another vw, pew-got, fiat, chit-roen, pacer, range/land rover (7), escort (3),

They would do well to get in touch with their target audience, and stop doing so many obscure cars.

And another thing while I'm venting ...
This crap about fixing a car that backfires and is down on power and idles rough by simply ....changing a $5 fuel filter? And he finds it with no trouble-shooting or testing and no test drive to confirm?
How stupid do they think we are?
No wonder China left.

BTW I record it every week and never miss an episode

I record every episode. And I do miss Edd China, but Ant is a decent replacement.

I'm sure there are more important problems in the world then "that time he said the name of a car brand incorrectly"...

jeezus, y'all can't even pronounce alumiNIUM correct :P
And never mind how many 'mericans add a t in front of chassis when they say it..
there is no T in CH !!!

besides

He does say it correct at the beginning.. so again. What are you on about...
that along the way, somewhere in the episode he did not pronounce the e enough???

in fact Ed is the one that says it worse from the bits of that episode i just looked at.

but seriously, if that's all you got to complain about, perhaps buy a fiat.. I don't think anybody mispronounces that.. and they you can complain about the rust and breaking parts instead...
