I'm more stoked about the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and the '56 Beetle.

I worked at a Cadillac/Rolls Royce dealer here in Denver when I was in college. The Silver Shadows were beautiful both in mechanics and body. It should be a fantastic episode. I wonder if it will be a Shadow 1 or 2? Either way I see brake accumulators in Ed's future.

Let's see if Edd can come to grips with the oily bits and turn this dodgy motor into something wicked so that we can shift it and put some coin in our pockets...

I find the show entertaining However as an auto technician I like to take a close look at all the mistakes they make. Then I do realize they simply try to spend the least money to repair there vehicle to make a profit. LOL

Poor Ed it seems like he has to do all the work and Mike does too much talking! LOL Of course in the real world it would take for ever to do all of the work alone. He must have some crew.

I have seen a few times where work completed on a car was not covered by Edd during the program. One time (a Mecedes, I think) new rotors and calipers appeared briefly in a shot but were never mentioned being worked on.

This is my prediction for the boxster episode...

Mike buys the car cheap due to engine leak/misfire/clutch... Edd tears it apart and finds the motor knackered. Mike then TV-wrangles a dismantler into selling him a 3.6l for 750quid plus his core.

Replace a worn out shift knob, hit it with some polish, get some rolling shots with Edd's hair above the windscreen, sell it for a miniscule profit, and everyone is chuffed.

(I think my green text button is busted. No wait, there it is.)
