I like watching the shop because they don't seem to take themselves to seriously.  I do thiink that their engine builders reputation has to be damaged by airing what they did  by naming his shop on air. Should they be all that surprised that the motors are finished after all those donuts.

You just got me thinking about the people on those shows that put their reputation on the line like that. How many painters went through Orange Co. Choppers? I usually don't care for most of their bikes but don't recall any terrible paint jobs. Well they went through a few different painters........what happened to the old guys??

I thought it was kind of funny when whoozot on gas monkey was in L.A. talking about buying a shop in socal that was already set up and turn-key. ( He was talking about Jesse James' place when he fell on hard times after fcuking up with Sandra Bullokz.)

Regardless of whether they're scripted or not, I like watching all those car and bike shows, because without them, all there'd be on TV is friggin' cop shows, cooking shows and soap opera's. Scripted or not, (and who cares if they are anyway?) at least they're catering for guys who love things mechanical.

I see lots of errors being made, (those wankers at "Philly Throttle" aren't mechanic's arseholes) but that's OK, I'd rather watch crappy "mechanics" doing crappy work on horrible bikes than watch Jerry Springer any day. Cheers, Terry. ;D

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Orange county choppers are right where I'm from, my mom went to school with one of them, can't remember which. It is kinda funny seeing them on TV when you have seen them in real life. They are short in real life. I remember when I was 16 and paul jr bought a soda from me in the mall where i worked, I had about 2" on him then and I'm only about 5'10" now

Ol' Nigella (she's the same age as me, 53) is too busy snorting coke to cook any cakes right now, from what's going on in the media? ;D

Hasn't seem to have done her any harm.
That story has been hyped to distract you from the important stuff that's going on in the UK.

That's probably one of them. I've no idea about cricket. I heard the scores and thought it was fag prices. 130 for 10! What?
