They really are having a laugh.
MGB that's been stripped but has a solid shell.

But they buy the one that's completely rotten

Never seen any before, have they done many? Seen tonights. Was good, but like you say, not the shell youd pick.

Bernie spraying all over the wheels and the rag he left on the roof! LOLZ

And filler over rust then priming over filler and then painting it without rubbing down

The narrator saying the car is covered with polish that is washed off with soapy water made me
He was wet flaying the paint before polishing.

He painted straight over it too without primer.

Yeah making out that you just put polish on and wash it off and it comes up gleaming.

Looked good when done to be fair. Although i bet close up it wont have looked as good.

Yeah didn't look right cracking. After he trimmed the welds off the sunroof plate. "That will look great after a little skim of filler"

That bernie is a fucking tosser. Kept shouting at everyone like he's working down a market.

Mario on the other hand seems calm and collected most times.

Not a patch on wheeler dealers, and you can tell its been dramatised to make good tv.

if i was either the guy with the mg or any of his staff and he talked to me like i was some sort of cunt, i would've had no hesitation in flooring the twat, camera or no camera. He plays up for it and ruins the show.
