Ed China is a cool mechanic, don't really care for Mike the buyer/seller.

Most of the episodes are on YouTube. The Lamborghini Urraco is my favorite show, with a specialist tuning that lovely engine.

BTW...I heard a term on the BBC and I need you to tell me what it means.  They were looking at a fixed up car and said it was "Larry".  WTF does that mean?

Do you mean "lairy"?

And they proceed to make Ed work 100 hours on a car and then they sell it for $200 'profit'!  :rofl2:


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

All of these shows were part of NatGeo / Discovery package. I haven't seen any new shows. Now they take what I watch 50% of the time, give it a different label and make me pay extra  >:(

I had high hopes and it's in free preview now AND IT'S TERRIBLE. It's just a bunch of semi car related reality shows? WTH? Give me motorsports and car shows that actually focus on CARS! Why don't people in the industry get this? There does exist a small but dedicated group of people that would pay good money for proper enthusiast programming.

I agree....gimme WRC, World Rallycross and touring car racing. I want to see car builds, proper ones, not the glittering monuments to bad taste that West Coast Customs rolls out. I do like Wheeler Dealers and Gas Monkey Garage though......

It's because those networks can't afford the licensing fees.   They are kept for the big networks...Fox, NBC SPorts, CBS, etc...

  Another option should be the new 2.7L twin turbo, that would be a cool alternative. The blown 4 has to use premium which is 12-14 cents more a litre here in Guelph, that is a significant additional cost if your commute to work is anything over 50 km's each way. This car with any engine option is just a fantastic sporty car for the money. I thought you could get the performance pack with the last V-6? Regardless, good work Ford.

That's what I thought Ford was going to put in the Mustang. That 2.7 would be sweet...

I still prefer the blockier look of the '13 - '14 models. I used to own an 08 convertible and '13 coupe. That V6 is plenty of grunt for having some fun, and tame enough to be a daily driver.

The only reason I sold it is because the kids are bigger now and they don't fit in the back. I still want to take a '15 out for a spin just to feel how different it is, but if I was in the market, I'd probably go for a '13 GT. Part of the appeal is the rough ride and butch looks. I came away unimpressed from the autoshow too.  Other than that awesome arse on the '15, it's still kinda of 'meh' overall for me. Yes the interior is better, but the refresh from '10 model year was still the best pony car interior out there.

My '13 was a little floaty, you could really feel the weight of the front end so I'd be interested to feel how much better it is now.
2019 Mazda 3 GS-L, 2013 Ram 1500 and an EV that cost 5 times what my Mazda3 costs but is louder with a crappier interior.
