Fast N' Loud

Anyone watch this show. I really enjoy watching them work on the old car

Stoolbend

I've watched two episodes and neither of them actually showed any work being done.

It seems to be all about Richard and he doesn't do anything except talk ****e

I think it is a show not to take too serious

Richard Rawling's is quite the hero in the Gumball / Bullrun circuit. Held the trans-america record for a while before Alex Roy took it. Richard is actually quite successful as a business man, not the usual History channel schmuck.

Yeah... I find it still fairly entertaining to watch though

Love this show. Probably won't satisfy peeple who need to see the actual nuts and bolts of working on the cars, but I love the wheeling and dealing and the general insight into American car culture

all i learned from richard is how to put a **** load of cash into a car and lose most of it in an auction

Your mans beard is top notch!

The best car show on TV at the moment...imo

To me, it's just another Overhaulin/Boyd Coddington/Wrecks to Riches type show with a loud-mouth American talking utter tripe.

Stallingrad

I enjoy the program and the way they do business, their work not so much. Let's hope they don't go OCC crazy and build and Gas Monkey Global HQ.

I love watching it, Richard is one of those guys who would throw a wicked pool party, plenty of drink and semi naked women with some nice classic cars in the background with the said semi naked women sprawled all over them in seductive poses.



I really have to stop daydreaming whilst im in work.

120_Minutes

its a bit of craic, i watch overhaulin' for the more nuts and bolts, and the latest season has been better now they dont prank the mark anymore. I'm not the biggest petrolhead, but i know what i like, and i like what Chip and Aaron do.

I know Richard is annoying, but i cant help but like the guy.

Aaron is just cooler doing it with that beard.

Bump to say new episodes airing tonight in the US. We might find out what they did with that crashed F40!

Not a bad program.

Wonder what happened to the crash Mustang, they took for a test drive

just before they were about to sell.

I presume they 'parted it out'? I know it was a write off and he was saying they were 30k down but I am guessing the could break it and sell of the engine, wheels, interior etc.. and make some of it back.

I would say the standard of finish on the cars is good. I watch a couple of those shows where they have a budget of 5-10k to restore a car... on F'n'L that would be the paint budget.

120_Minutes

according to their facebook page they "sold" it. cant remember if they fixed it up to sell or sold as was.... but they sure took a hit either way.

theres a clip online of them attempting to fix (through a third party) the F40 frame, with the experts saying in 30 years of fixing its one of the worst frames they've come across. should be interesting.

Given Richard's background, he's extremely business savvy. I doubt it will go the same way in terms of debt etc.

Done up, but not as original.

Max Headroom

Another typical yank "we've only got how many days to build ?" show......a good show still, but you just know most of it is scripted.....like Counting cars...which is also good to watch but the half hour is too short..reckon they'll get a hour long programme soon...

mloc123

Anyone watch 'Desert Car Kings'? I'd say the restorations on them are pretty rough...

Watched a few shows, another Father & Son Team effort.

Not bad, but some staged moments, which is a shame, guess thats the way of

alot of "reality" tv.

Entertaining enough.

Yeah, I watched a few episodes unti one time when they removed the curved glass off the back of a hatchback type car (can't remember makes or models) and they were at pains to stress to be careful with it, next thing one of the guys takes off a bumper and leaves it leaning against a pillar, lo and behold someone trips on the bumper which falls on the glass on the floor smashing it, cue really bad concerned looks on all their faces.

I enjoy F'n'L mostly for Aaron who seems to have a bit of personality about him and Richard has the odd good joke.

120_Minutes

Since the move to the HQ they've ramped up the wackiness of the show, I think they dont want people to take them too seriously. def scripted in points, or just very cleverly edited.

Tom is fast becoming a breakout star, he must have took way too much acid as a kid, i love him. I cant tell if he's actually that weird or playing it up for the camera.

KC is a sarcastic bastard too.

BobbyM75

I love this show...they're some "gas" men!!!
Pity about the Mustang and Richard's bad luck at auctions but to be fair, he has moved into a bigger garage....thing will hopefully pick up for them now and maybe there will be a few more top end cars coming through.

Wossack

series on youtube (dont let that put you off!) called Roadkill, which is quickly turning into one of my favorite car related shows - would recommend!

biko

Cannae beat Mighty Car Mods, especially before they made it big.

working fool

I really like it
It's a bit of a laugh and Richard loose his ass on loads of cars which is great to watch him crack up

Gas Monkey Bar and Grill has made an appearance in the latest ones.

I must admit to liking the show; I find Overhaulin quite tiresome as the 70s muscle car thing does nothing for me, more personality in the older stuff on Fast n Loud. Plus the

Agreed. I saw the fans best bits show from the last series, anyone know when the new series is starting ?

Actually saw my first episode over the weekend. They lowered a car by cutting the springs, instant turn off for me

And they don't do that here??

any lowered car i come across is the usual ' feck them dear yokes cut the b****rds'

Done all to often here, very few mod cars here are done right.

You just validated my point there, no professional outfit over here would cut springs. Go to DI Motorsport and ask for your springs to be cut or CDA, they simply wouldn't do it

Already started in the US, don't known when or if it's showing on discovery UK though.

"Strippers - cars for cash" gets that title.

120_Minutes

Really been enjoying the latest season, a lot of other shows oversell the tension but at least these guys have some craic doing it.

The first part of the bandit special aired last night and i enjoyed it. richard is bet that he cant find, restore and deliver a smokey and the bandit trans-am to a mate in new orleans in six days. you can see the team taking the task a little more seriously than usual due to the time crunch. even KC is less sarcastic.

Damn I didn't realize it was back on. Will have to go searching the planner. UPC's series link is just dismal.

It's not back on over here....I view it elsewhere,

What station is it on?

120_Minutes

Discovery, but read my previous post.

anyone watching Fantom Works?

Seems a bit more realistic, they show the actual day count the work is taking instead of making it look like it's done in a week and even have customers who are not happy with the work etc...

Yeah but i cant help but feel the owner there is a complete dick. He comes across as if his work is the utter best in the game, And im not sure if it is.

Thats the one where they had a build off between them and OCC, they did a piss take video where Richard was junior and Aaron was senior.

massy086

Graveyard cars is also a very good show.mopar baby!!!

I'd take that down before it gets you in trouble. Against site rules to link to sites like that.
