Wheeler Dealers

Anyone else out there enjoy this entertaining and ultimately educational show? The host, Mike Brewer, really seems to know his stuff and the main mechanic, Edd China, is precise and thorough. For me, this program has taken some of the mystery out of how automobiles are made and how all of the various systems are supposed to function correctly. Plus, it's fun to watch an old, tired classic car come back to life. Good stuff.

One of my favorites too...

I like seeing the greasy, dirty insides and the hard work that goes into restoration... so many of the restoration shows on TV are about the people in the garage yelling at each other and other 'drama,' without actually being about how to fix a car.

BTW.. I've always meant to tell you: you have great taste in user names!
 
I love that show, is the only one I watch of all of that kind, the other shows are like a soap opera, there is too much profanity and most of the time is spent arguing and bitching but Wheeler Dealers is like a family program and I have never heard profanity, also I like the cars they restore:yes:
 
Where else can you buy a car for 5000 sell it for 5100 and make a 100 profit in 30 minutes (with commercials)?

Thanks. I'd change it if I knew how. I hope it hasn't caused any confusion for you.
 
I love that show. Velocity Channel is making more like it. I like watching Ed and Mikes personalities and lil jokes, and the UK accent. They make it fun. I downloaded all of the episodes that I could find.

OverHaulin is another good one where they completely strip a car down and make it brand new and updated.
 
"Dodgy American electrics" - what the hell? I laughed when they made that statement while working on an '80's model Corvette. I think the British hold the title for "dodgy electrics". LOL
Nonetheless, I find the show very entertaining. I hope they keep it going.
 
Love the show. Gotta admit my favorite part is when Edd tries to get into an exceptionally tiny car.
 
i like the show but they take some short cuts i would not .
and when they had a corvette he said it had dodgy electrics like most American cars,

my MGs headlights only worked in the day and wipers only worked when it was dry out.

and my fiat was so unreliable that i called it the 50/50 because half time it started the other half not .

American Dodgy electrics indeed ,my 30 year old turbo mustang starts and runs every time without issue
 
I enjoy the show but cant stand Mike. Much like I enjoy Top Gear but would very much like to punch Jeremy Clarkson in the throat. I really cant stand that guy.

I actually dislike Clarkson much more than Mike. Mike is just a used car salesman, Clarkson is a ***hole.

YMMV
 
Yeah,enjoy watching it.. Always interesting to see what kind of profit they make when they sell car at the end.
 
I watch it every chance I get and have watched the same episodes more than once. I particularly like the TVR resto episode. What a job!

Mike and Edd are fun to watch. I'm glad to see that their series was renewed here in the states on Velocity.
 
I agree that Mike can be a bit much at times but, he's certainly knowledgeable when it comes to scrutinizing a used car. I've learned a lot from him.
