Red face Wheeler Dealers
Anyone seen this show? Two guys scout inexpensive older cars, do a quick resto on them, and try and make a buck. Pretty entertaining.

Yeah, I've seen a few episodes. Try to find the one where they resurrect an original Mini. That car was in pretty bad shape but what they do with a few hundred bucks is amazing.

Except they put no value on Edd China's time. He spends several days on the cars and their typical few hundred in profit wouldn't ever make it worth it to Edd if he was charging them.

I've seen quite a few of episodes of Wheeler Dealers. Decent show, but the host can be a bit annoying at times

There are two great episodes on youtube...
1> A mid - 80's Porsche 911
2> 1988 BMW 635Csi

Definately worht the watch. And they rip americans apart in the 1988 Corvette episode.

I love the British expressions they use,

"this part seems a little dodgy"

"and Bob's your uncle"

"the door seals are perished"

" that's a crackin piece of kit"

"Em free" Good show, but that host guy is retarded. Jumps in the purple M3, starts it up and immediately begins revving the snot out of it

Yep... I got the show on season recording. Last weeks Alfa was a funny show. He totally sold the car for 1000 less than he should have.
