    I'm really into tv shows like Wheeler Dealers and American Chopper etc but I absolutely love fast n loud.

    The guys seem so genuine compared to the American Chopper pre madonas.

    I'm not into classic cars at all but I'm totally tuned in to watching these guys and really like their characters.

    They are the sort of guys I'd love to have a beer with :).

    *raises hand*

    I used to watch Richard Rawlings on Bullrun: Cops, Cars and Superstars on a channel that used to be on Freeview absolutely ages ago. He hasn't changed :p

    I'm with you on this one. I happened to watch an episode the other day and was converted.
    I like the fact they take real-life gambles and don't always win.
    Definitely a more genuine show.

    Been meaning to watch it since seeing them on the Build off epiosde of American Chopper, they do make the Tutals seem generic

    I too love this show. One of the few I actually watch. As everyone's said, their character are very genuine and I too would love to have a beer with them. Also, I love classic cars. So it's win win!

    Yup, also love this. It's so much better than the crap that American Chopper turned out to be in the end. It went from being about nice bikes built by skilled guys on a chopped up, badly dubbed, woefully edited show to being nothing but a complete disaster of a story about a family which is obviously broken because of three of the largest egos in the world clashing, and Sr. being a douchébag 24/7. I gave up on it after the first series they shot in the new world HQ.

    Fast 'n Loud is already at least twice as awesome as American Chopper ever was, and I do have a soft spot for classics so it definitely appeals to the gearhead in me ;)

    Love this program! Also loved the biker build off where they came in second. Good honest work with no flamboyant crap involved.

    Good to watch :)

    Fast and Loud is brilliant. When I was signed off work for a week, I basically lived on the sofa glued to the various car shows. I went off American Chopper for the previously mentioned reasons, although the bikes are cool.

    Just watching the latest episode.

    Richards seeemingly genuine concern for his employs regarding his possible expansion
    is what makes me like the guy so much. Yeh nothing is always to be believed in tv land but I really feel he's the gneuine article unlike some of the other reality tv stars.

    So they fired TOM and to a lesser point Jordan

    Seriously he was the best character there.

    Seriously tempted to stop watching to be honest, not totally sure what went on behind the scenes but in my eyes a big mistake.

    Read a few forum posts about it but not convinced.

    Good bump, I was going to do the same after seeing some of the new series! I think Aaron and Richard were justified in their actions. The two guys were costing the company money and whilst they're a TV show now and are probably raking it in, it's still a business and business decisions need to be made. The timing was important - they were working on not one but two time sensitive million dollar concours restorations, and the two guys were obviously holding up progress.

    People will say it was a TV stunt for ratings, but I really don't think it was. I liked Tom too and it's left a slight bitter taste, but I won't stop watching because of it. The current series has been great so far.
