EPISODE 1 - NEWS, VIEWS, PICTURES & LINKS FROM THE SHOW

In the first episode Penny and Jason welcome you to there brand new workshop, home to the Used Car Roadshow throughout the summer and are joined by a live studio audience of fellow petrol heads eager to see what cracking used cars the team have come up with!

We meet this week’s buyer, 25 year old Dave Booth, who is on the hunt for his next used car. With £10K to spend he wants a sporty hatchback that he can enjoy when he’s not hard at work. And a big hello to new presenter Zoë Hardman who, every week will be down at the auction ring making sure that one lucky punter gets a used car at a bargain price in the feature Auction Fever.  This week she joins 21 year old Samantha Hill, a student from Huddersfield is on the hunt for a £500 run around.

And then its back to the workshop where new boy ‘Pipes’ our resident mechanic will be showing us how to stay safe and save pounds in the brand new feature ‘Where’s the Jack’? Over the years Pipes has worked on everything from Aston Martin’s to Yugo Zastava’s and now he is sharing his expert knowledge so that you can avoid big bills for small jobs by learning how to do them yourself.
