Default Wheeler Dealers

Channel 240 on Sky I believe.

I dont' know about anyone else but I quite like this programme - Mike Brewer can be a bit annoying but his trusty mechanic Ed seems to be able to turn his hand to anything.

I'd love to wander around, buy old cars, do them up and sell them on (well...at a rate faster than I do now !!).

The new series I believe focusses on 'Classics' as opposed to 'normal' cars - Last night's car was a 1970s Merc SL.

Easy watching.....

Mr. Brewer is the reason I stopped watching it.

Brewer is a complete oik but, as Shipley says, Edd China seems a good bloke.

Is this really a new series or just a rerun ...

Do we really believe Ed does all the work. Its TV. He probably has 3 other grease monkey's on site while he drinks tea then does a piece to camera.

Its a new series - you can tell because they have a new workshop - Brewer is fatter and Ed is more grey !

Mike "Owldaaahtyeraaandyagotyaselfadeal" Brewer gets up my nose.

Edd China is good, but the episode he used spray cans to do the Capri's front wing he lost my respect.

And they 'sell' the cars off to members of the production team at the end of the show. Then sell them for real (often at a loss) later on.
