[edit] Not including the labor cost
It's said that the profit assessment doesn't reflect the true economic result because the labor cost is not incorporated. It's not entirely true. The program presents guidelines to enthusiasts who are willing to repair their own cars. So the assessment is not really invalid if the buyer seeks the spare parts and does the kind of repairs himself.. I'm changing the article accordingly.. 85.107.211.40 15:43, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Profit yeah right
I believe this show is just about saving classic cars from the scrap yard. Fixing a classic and restoring to its original condition gives the mechanic a sense of accomplishment/pride. However, if you believe this show is about making a profit; (a few hundred quid each time) it has to be a joke. If I were the mechanic that worked so many hours on that car and the result is just a few hundred pounds profit I'll be pissed as hell!
[edit] Edd China
He's not just the show's mechanic, he's also the holder of the current furniture land speed record. He built and drove a leopard skin sofa at 87mph (Daily Mail: "My Sitting Vroom"). He owns a company, Cummfy Banana, that specializes in building these sort of things. Perhaps it's either worth mentioning in the article, or a good start for Edd's own article (right now, there is a dangling link in there...)
