I seem to recall that the original voice over spoke about bringing 'modern classics' back to life. I miss that part. Picking up a 924 or a GTI for about a grand and making it road worthy again.

This week was cool since that is a cool car. However, it has definitely moved the show further from its roots with the $30k start price.

Even when they bought the 911 Targa they only spent around 5k (pounds I believe).

Also, I liked the original angle where they were getting/working on cars that were not imported to the US. I still watch but am not nearly as interested in the US stuff. There are already shows that do those ad nauseam.
