I enjoyed it when it was genuinely funny, and fresh, several years ago. now it would be refreshing to see a new innovative show (not comedy or panto) made with people like Tiff Needell, Quentin Willson, Mike Brewer and Ed China and the likes. combine all the elements of other successful car shows, and make it about cars, not celebrities or politics. I couldn't give a toss of the outcome of Top Gear and Clarkson because to be honest, you can watch much better shows on the telly nowadays anyway.
Name a single car show more entertaining than Top Gear.
Fast N loud.

Fast n Loud is great, but it's not a "car show" in the same way Top Gear is.

Mike Brewer is a bellend, the saving grace of Wheeler Dealers is Ed China doing techy fiddling. But that's not Top Gear either.

There is no other show like Top Gear.

Yeah i know what you mean! there is also a lot of focus on Richards quick flipping the cars n stuff as well. But yeah, a bit more of an in depth look at the restorations they do would be better. with that said, i find the humor very funny.

If the numbers mentioned in fast n loud are true non of it makes sense. There's no way they smash those cars out like a week either.

Show goes:
Richard flips a car in a day and makes $10k, whilst his cronies in the workshop spend 2 weeks on a car and make $5k. Eh?!?!

How does it not make any sense? it's the reality of car business.

Just because they put a sh!tload of time and effort into a project or whatever, doesn't necessarily mean they will make more profit from it than they would by doing a quick flip with hardly any work gone in!

And sometimes it's all about timing and what car is up for grabs etc. and sometimes you just don't get out of it at the end, what you thought you might have, or expected to get from it before starting on it or even buying it.

This is reality...

He has a massive workshop, employs like 20 people, all these overheads etc, when it appears he could just make more money with his truck and trailer.

Meh, I lost track of the series anyway when Virgin flip up my series link

Plus he's got a bar n grill!
I like Fast n Loud. I find Richard entertaining with his GYSOT and some of the cars they do is top quality. Some of it is a little far fetched at times and if you was to run a business like that without some extra help of a tv company you'd probably lose money.
