Gas Monkeys USA

Just come back from a short break in the States and flicking across 1,000’s of channels I came across what I consider a great show.If your in to
American cars,pick up trucks,old/new and rebuilding Gas Monkeys is easy watching and on You Tube without the adverts,a great 40 minutes.
The show is about a garage in Dallas.the Boss goes out buys them,brings them home and his grease Monkeys rebuild them and they are
flogged on and I know we have a similiar show in the UK but I love American muscle cars.Watch…enjoy.

Luv the sound of a V8 miss it now I got a V6

I believe that show is called ‘fast n loud’ over here. It’s on Discovery and possible other channels.

Yep, Fast n Loud. Just finished airing the second season.

Richard Rawlings bio…

RICHARD HAS HELD SEVERAL JOBS TO FEED HIS CAR HABIT. HE WAS A FIREFIGHTER, POLICE OFFICER AND PARAMEDIC ALL BEFORE HE WAS 21 YEARS OLD. HE EVENTUALLY LEFT THOSE JOBS TO START HIS OWN BUSINESS, BUILDING A PRINTING AND ADVERTISING COMPANY FROM THE GROUND UP. HE LATER SOLD IT SO HE COULD FUND HIS NEXT VENTURE: GAS MONKEY GARAGE

Hard to hate a guy like that who has grafted for what he has.

Conor, seems according to one show I’ve watched he and his buddy Dennis hold the World record for the Cannonball Run. A Jaguar XJ S which they
have recently bought and intend to do up was a previous record holder.Could be an interesting project/show.

it is , i think its crap . prefer wheeler dealers

The first series of wheeler dealers was good but the newer series are ■■■■

It’s on a few more than the 2nd series new series on wend day at 9 followed by a series called misfit garage made up of ex employees of gas monkey garage .if u like that sort of prog lookout for highway to sell (Wednesday also )and another with some fat lads doing up motors all on discovery channel just remembered it’s called fat and furious

Hadn’t seen the Misfit Garage. There was a hint of something at the end of Season 2 when Richard got a call saying Jordan and Tommy were looking at rentibg his old garage out.

Watched the set up of Misfit Garage and considered it was a set up by the Boss of Gas Monkey’s to add interest to the show bit like if
Top Gear had mixed it with Fifth Gear.

I just enjoy the programme for the entertainment but Dennis and his brother have a top end car sales company ie paided $750,000 for a car puts my old saab in the shade lol :smiley:

Are you in the UK or US? It does look like they’ve been lumping 2 seasons as one as it runs for 26 weeks at a time. The last one was in the new shop and ended with Kauffman doing the Pikes Peak

According to discovery channels own website the Tommy guy in misfit garage got the tin tac in season 4 . I have followed this series since it started in the uk in 2012

Already on episode 10 of season 5. love this show.

Fast & Loud has been on SKY over here for around two years now,in fact they have just completed the second run of repeats.

Misfit garage starts on Discovery Wed 12th at around 10pm straight after the new series of Fast & Loud starts.

Personally I think Richard Rawlings fired the wrong guys as they are real characters so misfit garage should be a laugh,they are obviously still on good terms as the “misfits” are in the old gas monkey garage that Rawlings still owns.
