It was a good show again. The 635 was sounding very rough towards the end! They did well to get the Jag running again so well considering how bad it was.

:x Pissed me off.
1st 635csi=120mph flat out dont think so.
2nd good coupes for Ԛ£1500 Well i can think of loads better than the piles of crap they pulled out.
3rd turned most of the episode into a boring waste of time
4th wasted a half decent 6 series
5th its turning into the clackson and wise show. Sorry but the guy is going too far with his i know all im right and best bull. How many have you heard about when the bird from the nurburg ring after making "dork" look very silly then went out in a transit and still beat 10 mins??
6th i love cars and not jerrrys ego.

Err thats a little better :oops:

:lol:

Quite a list there :mad:

You could see the rust on the rear arches of the Six though, and the shagged engine was pretty obvious too, supported by the low top speed as well.

Jeremy's ego is more amusing than anything else if you can see through it :)

I was at Extreme Fighting tonight!! So I missed it, I'll have to catch the re-run on Tuesday (?).

CRX is a good sub 1500 quid car, although it wouldn't be a VTEC at that price. :-x

Ok its morning now,i had chance to calm down a bit.
I just think the show could be better if Jerry Dorkson calmed down a bit.
I have been waiting for them to bring a artical about best car for under a grand and was just a little disapointed how it all turned into a bit of a farse(fart???).
I do love the show and cant bare to miss it.So much better than the old format and it is proper entertainment.I just hate seeing perfectly good beemas getting waisted and with leather!!!!

Mind you what a way to go! :cry:

That 635 was a rot box, plain and simple. The engine was shagged, and the slushbox fell out of it.
Once driven, forever smitten.
Direct injection, turboed, intercooled, 16 valves giving a whopping 48.5hp/litre!! :(

never saw it... did they have Ԛ£1500 in total or each?!

if each then i'd have bought a carlton 3000 gsi with the dual ram engine in it, and fettled it a bit :twisted:

My e30 had holes on the inner rear arches you could put your fist through.The hood was torn back window cracked,chrome bumpers that were held together by the chrome.Blue valor interiour that the previous owners kids had puked on and rubbed there arses on.The suspension was so bad any one that took a ride in it got sea sick.But i saw through all that and the potential shone through. There are not many 635csi`s left.Im the type that gets weepy in a scrap yard :cry:

Ta mate. Its been 5yrs of saving,blaggina an dealin but i ended up with the car i wanted. Im not rich enuff to just go out an buy what i want.Thats why im naffed that the show turned the thing into a bit of a joke.(It was funny though) Id loved to have the starion what a car,an ive always wanted a xjs(from watching the saint as a kid gotta be a V12) Ԛ£1500 is my budget when ever i get the trader i turn straight to the under a grand section and dream. Ive had a few dream cars 900t16s,sd13500 ive got a daimler soverign 4.2 at the min.I paid Ԛ£300 mint engine.Just needs some tlc to bring up to standeard then ill sell it and get another "minger"

Err sorry rant over :oops:
