WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
osejr I enjoy this show a lot. The dialogue is entertaining, the cars are interesting (not just more Camaros & Mustangs), and the show focuses on doing something good for someone who deserves it. The only episode I didn't enjoy was the first because the owner was really bizarre and obviously stoned on serious chemicals and maybe didn't deserve it... (?). I like the fact that they solve problems without the excessive drama, and keep the whole vibe fun and positive. I do wish we'd see a little more of Rut and George doing the actual work, like the tear down on the Eagle and the VW Jetta Truck. All in all, funny and entertaining.
jfchristy This a good show that I enjoy watching. I love the obscure vehicles that get chosen! Many great cars are forgotten about because they weren't popular. A huge part of history would be lost if only the most popular cars were saved and restored.I enjoy the banter between Rutledge and George. I also enjoy that they incorporate the entire community into the show! You get to see the mechanic friend that runs Kenwood's garage, the guy that runs the body shop and Oliver that runs the local junkyard. I do wish that we got to see some other junkyards and part scavenging that goes on. I wish it came on earlier and spent more time actually seeing the process of restoring the cars. They try to cram too much into a short amount of time.
ojrhockey I am a big fan of car shows. There are some I don't like but most are informative and somewhat entertaining. I recently purchased an FJ40 so I was excited to see that there was going to be a show about restoring one. I was hoping to learn something from the show about the restoration process because I consider myself a novice at this. I can honestly say I learned absolutely nothing. To make things worst I had to watch the hosts put together a Jetta pickup truck kit. I did learn if you put an airbag in a fire it would explode. Good educational TV.The show was inane and the hosts were incredibly annoying with their constant bantering and bad jokes. Although I did like Rutledge Wood in Top Gear.Needless to say this show is a one and done for me.
belfastgooner I hate car TV shows. Coming from the UK and having Jeremy Clarkson shoved down my throat by the media on an almost daily basis, its not hard to see why. But this show seems to suffer from the same problem as every other car show I've tried to watch - the show isn't about cars. Its about the presenters.I know a lot of people who are into cars. They love owning them, driving them, watching them, reading about them. They can tell you really interesting stories about cars and their owners. The thing about this show is, it just isn't interesting. Watching people messing about on golf carts has no relevance. And what footage of the car in question is actually shown is contrived and scripted.There's more excitement in a broken scalextric set. So go play with one and give this show a wide berth.
