or Elvis?
Edd is the sentimental favorite, being the first. Tall, kinda =
dorky, but completely knowledgeable and down-to-earth. Ant was good, too, =
and accessible; his fling with an American reality show star--who's now =
hawking quickie bathroom remodels (excessively)--doesn't count against him =
and, of course, he tuned and sold a Big Healey at B-J for big bucks.=20
But Elvis is kinda growing on me now, and his F1 experience brings new =
aspects to the repairs and rebuilds.
Earliest seasons are now on =
MotorTrend; the show's really changed over the years (I don't subscribe but=
get them recorded).
