A couple of installments of the Black Adder. One of the few Brit shows that brings the funny, IMHO.

Counting Cars

I don't know what episode you are referring to, but I've watched several (the star is oddly engaging, seems genuinely nice and passionate about cars and motorcycles), but I wish he was less into customizing or personalizing the restorations his shop does and was more into doing authentic, historically accurate restorations.

Of course, the customer is the one who decides, but "The Count" loves to do custom work (which is absolute his right), but for a show on the History Channel, it would seem better had they found a car restoration shop that specialized in authentic restorations (I'm guessing they are out there).

The other show, "Rick's Restorations," is a good example as Rick clearly prefers to restore something back to its original state unless the customer requests something else.

Last point, I'm amazed that "The Count" hasn't gotten beat up by someone that he has driven up to on the road, rolled down his window and asks to see their car. While he is always polite, he is aggressive and doesn't take no for an answer - it feels awkward at best and I'm amazed something bad hasn't happened (and hope it never does).
