I think the Ginger idea is good, they just got the wrong ginger.

Sorry to piss on your fireworks mate, but not everyone wants a programme dedicated to Ford Transit lineage and all it's various versions.

Does one exits?  What a great idea  It would be the make the best telly ever.

Much wisdom Mike and Ed my favourite tv on screen couple [/quote]

Except Mike Brewer is a twat. Edd is where it's at.

Brewer's alright. He plays up the cheeky cockney Arfur Daleyisms but that's one half of the show's pitch.

And if he has any pre decimal political views or an unfortunate taste for rose he keeps it to himself.

I used to be able to tolerate Mike Brewer, but after so many programs he's got really irritating. He just does the same spiel every time. I know it's all set up in advance, so it's not like he's not had a chance to vary things a bit. It's still a decent enough program and I'll always watch it, but only because of the cars and what Edd does to them.

What a load of bollocks this is.  Come on, we are adults pre-judging a TV program that has not finished filming let alone given an air date.

I would like to see anyone sit in the passenger seat of a sports car and thrown around a race track try and hold down their lunch.  Rally co-drivers excluded as they are totally mental.  Remember the state of James May after being driven by that mad Finish rally driver?

The really old TG was men talking about the factual parts of a car and no one was interested, the relaunched TG was 3 men bickering and acting like idiots, but with cars and the public loved it.  Who would not want to be paid millions a year to drive around in the fastest cars and treat them like tools?

I spot jealousy and large doses of it in the press and on this forum!

/\ I think that just about sums it up for me too.

Good post @Mark_R

But ... most of the comments actually about TG suggest they're going to reserve judgement?

Mike Brewer's an even bigger cock than Ckarkson, and even more annoying, with the way he talks.

 You could write what he knows about cars on one side of a postage stamp. Using a magic marker.

I'd find that show a lot more appealing if, when they worked out their Profit/Loss at the end, they also included "40+ hours work by 1-1.5 skilled mechanics @ £75/hr in a workshop with several hundred grand's worth of equipment"...

Killjoy.

The show is all about Ed and his tinkering, the whole profit /loss bullcrap is to keep the Pawnstars / Storage hunter fans interested.

He's been a car salesman for 20 odd years, his pappy before him was a very skilled mech, he knows more about cars, real everyday cars, than that talentless wankstick "jezza" (vomit) can ever know.

It's due to return on 8th May with Chris Evans hosting. I'm looking forward to it tbh, I was getting a bit fed up with the old presenters.

I think Edd China should drop Mr Brewer and start doing something interesting on his own.

He has done quite a few fun projects in the past (fasted bed in the world).

Maybe team up with the bearded wonder from Fast'n'loud ;o)

cacophony

edd did some of the `wacky` builds for top gear. remember the one with `double decker` cars with the driver `upstairs` and the pedals below? they were built by him.

chillidoggy

Thing is, every time I hear his name, I can't helping thinking of 'Edd the Duck'.

I could ,cos that's how i drive to the shops

doogz84

I do all sorts of track days, autotest, hillclimbs, production car trials, karting etc.

Never feel sick driving. 

But I'm an awful passenger, I will feel queasy in the passenger seat if someone else is giving it some. A good mate is a race car driver/bum and his driving when he was having fun used to make me feel sick regularly.
