Good to hear! I think its the challenge of taking an old car that has one foot inside the scrapyard gate and saving it. A lot of us petrolheads really want to save cars like that. But not all of us have the skills or the confidence to jump into it like Will and Gus.

I can see what you mean about the Skoda Estelle not being a hit back home. But its a model that’s become quite popular here in the UK, as more cars from the 80s benefit from the rise in nostalgia for cars of that era. People now appreciate its simple design and it actually looks pretty cool too. They make good entry level rally cars as well. I’d like an Estelle at some point, just because I like them.

I love the show. Maybe becouse I could not start to take any car to bits and try to get it all back, make all that little (and hard and time eating) fixing stuff – pure nightmare. But watching these two guys, how they manage their projects and without fear and hasitation take them to the end, it’s really something. Plus, they’re so natural that I feel just like their friend.

One more thing – the SKODA renovation was absoletely surprising for me as I am from Slovakia and this car was here a huge disappointment in 80’s. Particularly after the previous model Skoda 100, whis became a legend. I have to admit, Gus and Will have made this Estelle an attractive car for me.

They do have great chemistry and just love working on old cars. And I have met Will too (did you see my interview with him?) and he’s a nice guy. Could talk to him for hours about old motors. Thanks for stopping by!

Now my favourite show much better than Wheeler dealers this is a show for real low budget guys like us at home trying to fix our old bangers with not much cash and lots of visits to the junkyard!

Will and Gus have such great chemistry its a pure joy to watch even my girlfriend watches the show and she does not like car mechanics or shows like these but she is hooked – all i can say is wow!

That’s a good question! Hopefully I’ll get to chat with Gus and Will again soon and I will ask them if it has been worth it or not. I’m sure they are grafting away rescuing knackered old bangers! Watch this space…

Hi Nial, I’ve recently started watching Flippin bangers. The presenters seem like very nice people. I know they sacraficed their jobs to start this TV show. I can’t help to wonder each and every episode if things turned out for them, as in earnings. Do you know if it was worth all of it and if they are enjoying a decent living after sacrificing it all?

They are really nice guys and very up front with their cars. And you could talk cars with them all day! Genuine petrolheads!
