Why does fuzz wear that thick bobble hat? His head must be sweating to death!

It's just become his 'thing', like Henry Cole and his backwards baker boy cap

Actually Fuzz & Tim DO seem like a couple of genuine blokes, it's the format of the program that irks me.

Doing up the cars must cost a small fortune, but we never hear how much.

I've often wondered if the items done up on 'Find It, Fix It, Flog It' are ever actually sold; and, if so, do the reach the price of the valuations?   

Of course, there's no mention of what Henry Cole, Simon O'Brien and the other restorers are paid!

[ToraToraTora]

well it's primarily a TV show so the money spent can be seen as production costs. In reality a lot of the cars would never get done because for most of us it would not be economically viable.

[davebro3]

yes - it's just entertainment - rebuilding cars that should be scrapped for some old bloke on his last legs for the benefit of his heirs. it's the sob story that counts.

The one I just watched was for a 21 year old.

I often look up the car reg to see if it's taxed and MOT'd with all these programmes.

It cheers me up if I see it's still on the road.

I think this week's young man will get years of enjoyment from his SOS car.  Just wish they'd show more of the work and less of the nonsense
