    Did anyone else see this on Sunday evening on BBC 2?

    The Speed Shop is a custom bike building workshop situated on the quayside at Poole and run by Titch Cormack, a former Marine and SBS veteran. He comes across as likeable, watchable and amusing (and charismatic according to the other half).

    Just a one off program before Top Gear starts but hopefully someone we could see more of on TV as a presenter to counteract Henry Cole! :cool:

    I somehow don't think the car ended up being "under budget"! :joy:

    He did start to sound like Guy Martin half way through but an enjoyable program.

    Well, it wouldn't have the repetitive use of "Mate" in it, so it's on to a win right away.

    Yeah, you know who I mean. Just he's so memorable I can't mind his name right now. (it was mentioned above, but... Well, I forgot it already)

    Is it on the i-player do you know? I couldn't find it.

    Yeah, Henry something. Mate. ;)


    Will have to look again, couldn't find it before. Probably connectivity issues, sometimes we can't get the i-player to work at all.

    I agree, that looked like a recipe for bankruptcy.
    Question, how do you make a small fortune from selling used cars?









    Start with a big fortune.:confused:

    A bit like owning horses then...

    My farrier used to say "most of my clients live on a small farm.


    They used to own a mansion"....

    To sum it up: Horses. Gold goes in, crap comes out... :joy:

    As with most things in life DD it comes down to personal choice. I must admit being able to hand the grand kids back at the end of the day is sometimes a blessing.
