Most recently, they were restoring a round-tail Alfa (drool), and it appeared they were painting the entire car, not just the front clip they claimed. Yes, nit-picking, but that's sometimes fun, spotting differences scene-to-scene.

The big thing they don't seem to include on every purchase are taxes and fees. It's a hundred bucks here for a mandatory safety inspection, I'm sure MoT is at least that much. Sales tax, VAT, etc.

It's still fun to watch. Probably good that they don't feature more "stinkers", where they lose money. It would be bad for our hobby!

They don't include Mike's travel costs either, which are enormous when he crosses the Atlantic to find say a 57 Chevy, or travels to Italy to get the Dino. But who cares? Love the show.
