Painful, Fancy buying an FD without a Comp test then take it back to see if they have lost 5k?? Really??

4lt four stroke?? tbh they lost me when Mike was giggling like a school girl in a bone stock FD then the work of fantasy with the Buy/Sell section.

The Worse bit with out doubt!!! Two 3 Rotors and no audio of them on the track?? Seriously??

Regardless of if you liked the wheels and graphics, I thought overall it was excellent promotion for the Rotary and maybe a few less people will be scared of the engine now  :Thumbsup!
All the best Clive

snakeskin !!!!!!! they have brought back the image of the FD being a chaved up car !!!!

plus the fake sale and rebuy has me fuming!!!!!!!!!!

Shaun makes a good observation, WGT green tag was on the keys before he test drove it!!!!!

Who would in the right mind buy back a car almost double the price... what load of crock

if it wasnt for the fake sale and snakeskin it would have been a decent promotion of the RX7, but alas that was ruined, the money for the graphics and painted wheels should have been spent on suspension.

this what really happened, WD looking for a stockish rx7 with a good engine, NIck offers his car to be used, they offer him free mods so they can use the car, the sale and rebuy did not happen in reality.

And if someone tries to convince me otherwise , I was not born yesterday :p

They changed there format to do that car and Chav\'d it to make it look like a Mcc D\'s racer, Good promotion of the Fd??? Not so sure, you can\'t have that amount of BS and not have some rub off on the car.

I just loved how they showed the basics of Buying an FD so you don\'t get your fingers Burnt like Compression test AFTER!! you get it home (in Mikes words) to see if you have lost 5k :)
 
Pip should have wrote a speech down or some thing because Edd had obviously slept since he spoke to him........4lt 4 stroke :)

And!! NO 3 ROTOR AUDIO!!!!!!

Set up or not the Buyers Guide should have been Accurate!!

Most buyers would be put off by the snakeskin not the engine. Shame as I was looking forward to them doing some decent mods, hope my insurance company wasn\'t watching and want to change my policy to a 4 litre

Just watched it, for me it was a really good promo for the rotary engine not once did they mention oil which was good as most people think they drink oil like fuel!

It was great that they got Pip on the show  it was clear that he had a lot of input to the show.

As for the big wheel debate that will be going on snake skin OMG not on a silver FD just spooled the whole look of the car.

Apart from that a good episode.

Did we not have someone on the forums looking for a stock FD AFOR A TV show a while back... Hmm
Just watched it last night... It\'s all a bit set up a scripted but still nice to get a rotary featured on there.
