I love Philly. I grew up about 15 min outside the city, and my parents had a restaurant in old city for a long time.

That said, I have never heard of the show till you mentioned it, but I will be sure to check it out!

I liked that show. Stopped by the shop last month while in Philly. Super nice guys, cool shop, and had a couple SOHC's in there.  Lots of British bikes as well. The owner, Adam, was saying a problem/disagreement with production company was holding up new episodes from being released.  Hope to see more!

Hey Mo this is MoMo.  Where'd you grow up? I was 15 minutes away in Delaware County, the city is expanding westward and pretty much turned my hometown into a slum :(...Larry

Had a thread about that awhile ago on the open forum but think it is now buried many pages back. I liked what I saw of the show.

Hey MoMo!! Haha, I am from Cherry Hill, NJ, so Camden County. Camden was already a slum, but Cherry Hill is quite lovely. I make it back there about once a month for the fam.

I love the show- and the city. Lived there for 7 years back in the late 70's and early 80's.

......Did they resurrect a 350 four on an episode?
Thought I saw it, but can't remember what channel.
Caught my attention for a bit.

I did not see an episode with a 350 four.  I did see one with a 305 Dream.
