1800: Antique Road Trip

[skysurfer]

I've watched the Antiques Road Trip now and again and noticed that many of the 'celebrities' don't treat the old classics they're driving particularly well. I'd therefore be extremely reluctant to offer my car up for this type of programme especially after reading of Russ's experience. It really is scandalous that they can deliver a car back in the condition described and then making excuses for not paying for the privilege of using it. Of more concern is that this seems to have happened to a number of owners lending out their cars for this programme.....

PS as an aside, the programme also does the antiques industry no favours whatsoever with antique shop dealers being put under pressure to accept ridiculous offers from the so called 'experts'. Whilst I accept that something is worth only what someone is prepared to pay and there are discounting margins, I'm pretty sure Joe Public would be shown the door is they offered £70 for something priced up at £220......
