That's too bad. Its kind of a corny show, but I like it. Always wanted to have the tools and space to really restore an old favorite.

That sucks on Velocity as he was the best part of the show.

Really disappointed he's leaving, but completely understand why. Here's hoping he gets his own show and back to more what WD was a few years back.

The one aspect I wish they would have changed is proclaiming they're making a huge profit. Well they do if you disregard the $2,000 of man hours Edd put into it. Other than that it is always enjoyable. Good choice Edd.

Sorry to hear this. Wonder why "dumbing down" seems to be so common, these days?

Yeah, you know if he is not faking some of it only to have an expert come in, it seems he really has a really large set of skills when it comes to repair and minor body work.

In an interview he acknowledged that in the more recent episodes he was getting support from platform specific experts, as well as Paul who has appeared on camera a few times. I have zero issue with it, we know he knows his way around cars & expert input allows far more individualized tips & tricks by platform.

I loved it when the budget was low (before Velocity brought it to the States). Haven't really been keeping up with it as of late........

my wife just said its already dumbed down enough. But in typical fashion, many TV types think they need to target their program to the locodo in order to not lose market and interest.

well, by making it dumber, i'm off. I want the detail- watching programs like this (originally on spike for the past 20 years), helped give me the confidence to tackle automotive projects.

****ers.
