At 3 Lb they are only mufflers!!! From what I saw of those turbo's they would start making good power around 8Lb...
I'd like to see more of the cars and less yap yap

The good news : Its finished.

The bad news : They mentioned a second series.

Looks like the hairdresser/host couldnt blag a loan car for the final episode. Word must have got out about how lame the show was.

To the producers of Blood Sweat & Gears : Do us all a favour - make the next one a single half hour show. I've worn my fast forward button out skipping 25 minutes of lame intro's, recaps, car polish ads just to watch 5 minutes of mediocre 'entertainment'.

Agreed. When you add it all up. You could get ALL the new footage from each episode placed inside a half hour show with ease. Instead of them rehashing, it would be in the their interest to keep the spectator wanting more instead of channel flicking.

I would only flick over half way through the show just because of that, like a friggin bad reality TV show replaying the previous episode so you only see 5 mins of new stuff. Surely if the show was worth its merit, now one would need to know what happen the previous week when they went to a driving school to find out who had the better car :togo:
