trigger Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Has anybody else been watching this over on the Travel channel with Paddy Mcguinness?. It's pretty good i think and features some fairly mediocre cars, it's currently got Goldie cruising about in a rusty Toyota Corolla!

trigger Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Same here, clutch slipping and grounding out over speed bumps as well as carrying on driving after the ball joint snaps on a Deloreon, I'm not sure I'd lend my car to some of them!

Alusilber Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Was that a Fiat 125 or a Polski-Fiat 125P that Alexei Sayle was driving? I wasn't paying enough attention. HML says Polskis went extinct around 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formula Autos Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The most amazing thing I've gleaned from that programme is how sensible a driver Sean Ryder is. It's obviously had virtually zero budget, but not bad if you accept it for what it is. Also, has anyone else noticed that the plaque on the trophies Paddy gives to the celebs at the end is blurred out for some reason? I wonder if there was a last-minute title change or something, and the plaques were made up with the original one on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shep Shepherd Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Who is Paddy McGuinness? EDIT (4/11): Just figured out he is the Paddy of "Max & Paddy's Road To Nowhere" fame.

Burnside Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I've watched all these so far and have enjoyed them, even the one with John Prescott! The one with Goldie round the West Midlands in the Corolla was really funny and interesting getting to hear about where he started out from etc. I like Paddy McGuinness. Don't understand why people are slagging him off for. Least he isn't going round smashing up 'bangers' as they like to call older cars because it's classed as entertainment like Clarkson and that d*ck Hammond did / do. But then there real car enthusiast's aren't they? trigger, Shep Shepherd and Dick Longbridge 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Who is Paddy McGuinness?He's managed an Irish bloke named after a dog treat, and his band since 1978. Some bald patch, mind.
