You can probably skip the first six minutes, but the guy makes a pretty good point nearer the end:

Where possible, a photo sharing service can be used such as Flickr, Imgur etc. The image location (usually ending in .jpg) can be copy and pasted between the ][ brackets that appear when you click the 'Img' button (you can find this button at the top of the message box).

How to post youtube vids: Click on the 'youtubeHD' button at the top of the message box and in the middle of the ][ brackets that just appeared, copy and paste everything from the youtube web address that appears after the = sign i.e if this is the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNqaPSHv0 just copy "K2cNqaPSHv0").

All those big auctions in the States are to me a merry go round of the same cars being sold for more and more money.
No one there buys a car for personal use, I reckon they buy to "flip" at the next auction.

I´ve not seen any of what he is talking about on Overhaulin´ or Monster Garage.

I cringe when I see Richard Rawlins buying and selling iffy cars.
It makes me wonder when he buys a car been standing 10 - 15 years and he expects it to run.
Then he does the cry baby act having to fork out another 2000 dollars for motor and trans.

Car Details:Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am T Top with a Stroker 383+60 built to be raced Chevy small block and Tremec T56 6 speed 3,42.1 Gears Pozi rear end. completely rebuilt five years ago and beaten up at every chance.
Location:South Wales UK
Never a truer word said, I got my 69 Charger SE as a daily runner in 02 for $2500.00 at the time £1500.00 there is a Blue 69 Charger on line in the UK needing total frigging rebuild for £30,000.00 I wouldn't even look at this sort of crap. There was another 69 Charger on the bay for sale at 10k and it was a total rebuilt rolling shell with 99% of the parts to complete. Great deal if your a painter bad news if your not. The prices are going mad on these car or is it down to lotto winers getting hold of them lol. :mrgreen:

we need a real parts dealer in the UK and not the old crappy ones that haven't a clue on what they are doing or just want to get rich of others and do nothing for it.
