stashtrey · 05-14-2014, 11:04 PM

Whoa...they're stepping it up tonight! Stoked.

stashtrey · 05-14-2014, 11:05 PM

Wowzers. The garage they're getting it from is a wet dream.

Tune in peeps!

jakuum · 05-14-2014, 11:29 PM

Oh wow, this is a cool show. Gonna set this series on record

.

stashtrey · 05-15-2014, 12:20 AM

Yeah...been going since 2009 I believe. They have done some awesome cars. E36 M3, Skyline, Fiat Dino (my favorite) and loads of unique and historic cars. Mercedes 190 Cosworth was sweet. So many!! They even have come to the US and imported some muscle cars including a Charger (I think) and a late 60's Camaro.

Great show. Ed is this shit. Everyone would love to have him as their neighbor! Ha.

Yes love that show Eddie China is one talented guy but a long way to go before he can match chip foose

NormE91 · 05-15-2014, 06:08 AM

Edd's definitely a talented guy. If you remember the episode of Top Gear a few years ago when they tracked double decker cars (jaguars?)... he made those.

What??? Chip Foose is car designer and Ed China is a mechanic....

Why are you even comparing the two?

Jed · 05-15-2014, 07:57 AM

One of my favorite episodes is when they went to Poland and found that green Lambo Urraco. They find some pretty sweet rides! It'd be hard to part with some of the things they find.

DF · 05-15-2014, 08:30 AM

One of my favorite shows. I still tivo the repeats and watch them when I get home from work. Edd also holds a Guiness world record for creating the fastest motorized furniture. He strapped an engine to a couch.

RedLightVisions · 05-15-2014, 09:27 AM

Watched this last night. Great episode.

My next car will be a 911.

roll_the_dice · 05-15-2014, 09:34 AM

I watch this show every week and even watch the repeats most of the time. I have always loved the 911 shape...classic...my next Porsche will be an older 911.

I agree with above...Ed is a mechanic and Chip is a deisgner...not even the same playing field. Chip does body off restorations, Ed and Mike "fix them up" for a quick resale...totally different premise.

Fillyo75 · 05-15-2014, 11:13 AM

Love the show, don't really know how they make money on some of these cars when you have to account for Eddie's time.

markus037 · 05-15-2014, 09:29 PM

i love 993s and that episode was my favorite one. im surprised how neglected that car was. in reality it was a POS but it shows you with some time and effort you can have a nice car in the end. I really want my next car to be a 911 as well. A targa preferribly, the glass roofs just look so awesome.

firemanjust1 · 05-16-2014, 01:24 AM

Awesome show Ed China is the "MAN". Been watching the show for a while, anyone else wonder how Mike Brewer got so fat so damn fast.

The both did. When the show started Edd use to be crack head thin. As the show has become more successful they both have gained weight.

Used to be you could get a nice 5 y.o. cpo for 85k. Too bad those days are gone. used 911 = men; used 335i coupe for $18k = boys
