What has changed is that Mike and Edd have left rainy Bracknell behind and set up in a brand new workshop in sunny California.
Edd says: “We may be basking in the LA sunshine but the job in hand remains the same. Our brand spanking new workshop will see the same amount of sweat and tears as the previous ones in Bracknell; It just so happens that we now have the Pacific Coast Highway outside rather than the M25!”
