I did take issue when they (and other losers, it has to be said) take a sound '40s car that could be restored, or even done as a retro mod, and turn it into something, chopped to bits so there was no point in using an original car to start with.
Gas Monkey took a $125k De Tomaso Pantera, excellent outward condition, and totally buggered it up (in my view). The new owner liked it. No taste.

Do we do that sort of work over here?
