Over the years there have been a lot of unkind comments about my closest chum, Tim Shaw. Let it be known that I have his back. He’s a great guy and doesn’t deserve the negativity directed towards him. Ant and Dec = Mates Tim and Fuzz = Mates, only taller. I have your back, Timmy!

SOS: Real, full restorations? Yes, from basket case to beautiful. Any other UK based shows doing this? Not that I know of. Is that the magic? Nope. It’s the people involved’s stories and personal journeys. Is the workshop a real restoration shop. Yep, owned by the presenters.
