    Worst Hackers on TV?

    Now that we have settled the worst color question (either gold or Sepia), which TV shows does the worst things to Porsches?

    Is it those two Brit-iots? Or Chip Doose (who destroyed) a very nice 356.

    Or some horror I have not seen yet?

    Yikes, I knew it would be a matter of time, someone might say something. Cardinal rule is if it can't be reversed, don't do it. I guess both these guys need to talk to a Cardinal.web-foose-autograph.jpg "I will #%&% your car up on my TV Show!!!"

    Which Brits? I saw an episode of Wheeler Dealers where they "restored" an Irish Green IB car. They didn't do anything bad at all to it from what I recall.

    the only 356 I saw Foose cut up was an episode of Overhaulin....I think it was a "B" Coupe that did not have the original engine or trans and was pretty rusty....he cut it up with the help and guidance of Emory Motorsports.....I think those guys have a pretty good track record of cutting up old 356's and turning them into hotrods.....errrr.... Outlaws...

    agree re Emory - but Foose put a VW oval rear window on it - in TX and FL that is a death penalty crime

    I would vote that they simply give it to Emory and have them as a 356B. It would have far more desirable without a VW oval window in it.

    Don't mention Emory and any of these guys in the same sentence, paragraph, page or book.

    I don't watch Overhaulin' unless I'm extremely bored and need something to get pissed off about, but wasn't it Rod Emory who decided to get in bed with Foose?
