    Probably his wife and his ex wife working in the same shop. Or some of the little ****s he had working for him. Every time I watched the show the head of the workshop would just winge and winge. I hope his legacy is carried on. Always bad to lose someone who is passionate about cars and especially building them.

    <davy> well look at him now

    Yeah the short dude. Not the one with the contorted face, he's very switched on. He now works for another shop that did a series on Pimp My Ride.
