I’ll post more later... but placeholder time... I love these guys.

And, as love-able as Edd Ghinaaaah was, they pulled off a miracle and found somebody better in Ant.

Even Shouty-Man Mike has grown on me.

But  that recent fix where Ant fixed a leaky headgasket with better head bolts?  Pure magic.  You’ll never see anything that useful on Counting Carzzzzz

It’s better without Ed? I would have never imagined that, I used to watch the show a few years ago and could really only barely tolerate mike.

My opinion only... but... yeah...

In re-watching old episodes you pick up just a tad bit of the Edd “passive-aggression” more so than was written into scripts. Edd always came across as a frustrated scientist— kinda like some tasks were too beneath him.

With Ant? Geez, he used to be a firefighter... he absolutely loves cars and it shows. He has great fab skills, flings shit right back at Mike like he’s an equal..

I think it’s working better now that it’s “two working class blokes living the dream”.  Plus, let’s face it, Ant’s wife is phuckin’ hot.  She needs more on-screen time.  And I mean that in the most socially-correct way.

I think you mean ex wife. I agree that I never like Ed. I just find Ant more enjoyable to watch

Looks like that’s unlikely .

Is that my buddy gene in the thumbnail? I skipped around a bit and couldn't find this spot.

Separated wife. It’s sad, but I’m choosing to be glass-half-full guy and think she can rebound nicely with a middle-aged tech retiree  in Montecito...

I just watched the episode with the leaky head gasket today. I went from that's not how you do that to wow, that's how you do that in about 2 seconds.

It’s like a “twist movie ending”....

“Oh, I’ve seen this feature before— split the timing chain, remove a hundred and fifty seven bolts, might as well surface the head... HEY! WAIT A MINUTE! I didn’t know you could cut that corner!”

I thought it was brilliant in its laziness.
