I'm just watching it now. He's annoying the arse off me that Mark fella.
Oh and he's just put his fuel lines on with those U shaped clips instead of the P shapes meaning that the copper pipe's rubbing on the
chassis!

I saw the first episode last week in UK
Awful programme, that blokes a presenter not a petrol head.

car is born
I think he's a lot better when he built the westfield and especially the land rover, not to mention the harley, mg etc.
Bearing in mind his a vet, I do enjoy his later stuff, but your right that cobra is not so clever..

Is this a new series? I loved the first A Race Car Is Born. The guy cracks me up. Hes just a vet learning the same as we all do! He asks the same
silly things as me? Whats he building now?
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

Sorry guys, nowhere near as bad as
the program "Kit car crisis"
The guy building the race car in his back garden shed.
Now that guy was a tit, he didn't have a clue.
Couldn't even drive his Fury properly
Why the Fug was he building a bloody Hyabussa engined car...
FREE THE ROADSTER ONE…!!

Saw that Mark chap interviewed some time back. He said he only does the stuff shown on screen, someone else does the off-screen bits.

I agree, what a kn*b. Craned it over his house to get it out, tested it and couldn't keep the gearbox in place. No wonder he was a divorcee.
IMHO

Oh come on, Dog and Nash, that's well harsh, I thought he was a nice intellectual chap, misunderstood in his own 15minutes...
err, hang on a minute, No I don't - the guy was a tool (a King Dick spanner to be precise!) - my fave (cockish) episode, where he walks into the
exhaust or roll cage Fab place and shakes hands, with his hand cocked to one side (like a tv film character "Ice T" shooting a gun) and
greets skilled craftsmen with the phrase - " Hows you, man? and How's you?"...
Holy crap - I'd beat him to death with his own flip-flops given a snifter of a chance...

Just watched the SVA of the Cobra. He got off with quite a few things there just for the telly I reckon. The rear reflectors were the circle ones that
I failed on because the edges weren't radiussed. The fuel lines as mentioned had the wrong fasteners on. The clocks had the wrong bezels on but
were considered countersunk and so let off!
Bah. I think we should all take a film crew along and see if we can get away with things!
