      @@RangerColinLZ It's basically that, buying wrecked cars (that'll never be quite right again) for more money than I've spent on cars and parts since I passed my driving test, 20 years ago - and I've had some 'iconic' cars along the way. Sure, I'm envious, who wouldn't love a Mclaren or the like? But I'm realistic too; I'll never own a supercar like that, let alone throw another £40k in parts at it, so I don't find it as engaging. I love the MCM cars because I feel like I could potentially own any one of them, and enjoy them for what they are, or could be. That and the MCM cars keep making an appearance, rather than being 'done' (despite them blatantly not being done) and on to the next and never spoken of again. It's less like watching a show and more like hanging out with your mates.
