I was ready to dismiss this show now that Edd's gone, but this Ant guy wasn't all that bad. Yeah, the triple wing on the Escort was a bit much, but I have to admire the guy's skills at being able to build it from scratch the way he did.

I thought it a bit odd that Ant was wrenching on the car while wearing what appeared to be a decent-looking wristwatch. And that he wasn't wearing protective gloves...even while cleaning parts in solvent.

I thought that much of Edd's reason for leaving the show was because they were going to limit the amount of time actually spent working on the cars. I thought this first episode still spent as much time in the shop as they always did.

Still miss Edd though...
