[TR] BBC Show New Tricks

[glewis999 at aol.com]

The Stag gets torched later in the series which is quite a few years old which may account for the perceived low engine rebuild cost.The comment about not understanding what the Scottish actor says equally applies to many USA expressions(slang).

If the engine rebuild only cost 1500 Pounds, I’d seriously doubt if it represents value for money. A starter price of 3000 pounds plus from a reputable engine rebuilder is much more in the quality ballpark.

We have been watching the show as well.  We have not gotten to the cast change yet, but will be there soon...
 
 
There was a Spitfire on a pile of cars at a junk yard in the episode we watched the other day.
 
 
The Stag is nice.

   We have been watching the BBC show New Tricks for awhile. It features 3 
  retired cops trying to solve cold cases. The forth member, the boss,  is 
  a current cop.
  
  Anyway one of the guys drives a Triumph Stag. Beautiful car. He just had 
  to have the engine rebuilt. Cost him 1500 quid. I guess that is pounds.
  
  I know the Stag V8 had its problems but the car is beautiful.
  
  Lots of colorful English slang that we have to lookup to find the true 
  meaning.
  
  Interesting show.
