Ant Anstead- made up name or sick parents?

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Bernard Fishtrousers, Apr 28, 2017.

  1. Not content with moaning just about Quik Fit, I thought I'd have a go at a bloke called Ant Anstead - made up name or sick parents - Never heard of the chap until this morning. I was just browsing through next week's TV Choice, with me thick marker pen and a cup of tea.
    Article about Ant Anstead - made up name or sick parents - hosting new TV show about expensive cars. Tells me that if he could have done it all again, he wouldn't have scrapped that Aston Martin that he once did because, 'it'd be priceless now'. Ant Andtead - made up name or sick parents - it turns out is thirty eight years old. Assuming that he was in the motor trade and able to authorise the scrapping of a vehicle, as opposed to just office boy/trainee/general lackey at lets say, twenty years old. That'd mean that he scrapped an Aston this Century, in the two thousandee's, making him probably the only bloke on the planet not to realise that it wasn't worth a few bob. I call bull-frog.
    This is another TV motoring show that I won't be watching

    He was on a show as the spanner 'guru' (like Fuzz Townsend) called The Car's the Star with Philip Glennister - who seems to know diddly about cars.
    He's also Edd (China)'s replacement on Wheeler Dealers with that awful Mike Brewer - I only watched the programme to watch Edd drop a T1 engine onto his toolbox, "only 4 bolts hold it in, you know"!

    You'd have thought Austin Healey should've been on one of these shows instead of chucking eggs around really!

    Had 2 Alfasuds. First a 1286cc cracker, written off by an HGV crashing into the back of it; second a 1.5 hatchback bought in the wet and paid the price. Did teach me how to weld though, when I could find sound metal to weld too_O

    Cracking cars, great engines, great chassis - there's an S bend near here and haven't swooped through it better than in that little car, everything worked just right that drive, still remember it despite it being 30+ years ago. :rolleyes:
