Just noticed this which begins on Thursday 15th June at 9pm.
S1/Ep1 includes the selling of a rare Alfa Romeo, and racing driver Archie Hamilton chooses between two £100k supercars.

Will give it a Ep1 a watch to see if it's any good....

In a word, rubbish. A supercar dealership on an airfield in Yorkshire with staff, visitors and all rather boring....!

Yeah, have to agree with you, very disappointing so far. Seems to be more about the people than the cars.

I made it to the first ad break before switching off.

An interesting business, but these shows that insist on trying to turn ordinary staff members into personalities just grate on me.

Just awful!

Basically one big advert for that place & AH (who I have watched in the past but don't anymore) I switched off at the first break as it seemed so false. I won't watch it again.

Any TV show that features "influencers" is generally a reason for me to avoid watching.
This show was no exception.

The advert alone was enough for me to file that under "utter ste" !

Terrible, just doesn’t work for tv, got part way through episode 1 and resigned it to the delete bin.

On a side note, “influencer” Archie Hamilton is seriously annoying, came across as a bit of an idiot, although to be fair he was influential in me never watching the show again.

Sorry to hear you don't like it. I appreciate its not all car spec talk but more behind the scenes and the nice customers we deal with, which we hope would appeal to more of a family watch.

I enjoyed it.

It’s got to be a unique location for a super car showroom, and the owner and staff came across with credibility and enthusiasm for what they do.

I’ve not been on the airport since it was an RAF base, but it looks significantly different.

I have met the owner some years ago when he was the manager of Red Line in Knaresborough when he was very generous with his time in showing my car-mad eldest son around.

I wish they told Deans story, it went from dads a copper to look at the showroom. How?

If they want us to invest in the programme we need to understand the history.

Just watched this, not great but something easy to watch.
Ellie comes across as a bit dim though. Good job she’s tidy looking!

Only really watched as I was sure I recognised the numberplate on the McLaren, a few facebook searchers and it confirmed it. wink

Dean anyone in business knows the risk and balls you have / tell us the story or does it come out in the programme?

The racing car guy doesn’t do you any favours in my opinion.

I have just been subjected to it by the family, even they who will happily watch Love Island wanted to switch it off after ten minutes. Z list celebrities and used car salesmen with Turkey teeth was all too much.
