View Full Version : Wheeler Dealer - New Series
Anyone watch Wheeler Dealer ? I think its a descent programme myself gives quite a lot of tips and info for n00bs like myself.
The new series started last night! They had a Jensen Interceptor mkIII..My mates dad has one that he does drag racing in... Its supposed to be rapid and sound amazing !
Lol, rings a bell, but can't remember it!
I used to love Car Sharks! Lol :clapping:
yeh Car Sharks was brilliantly stupid !
this is good though they get an old car, restore it a bit and try make money on it !

It's a great demonstration of why there's rarely money in self restoring cars, a pro dealer and a mechanic working for free and they usually clear about £60.
Still and interesting watch though.
The Jensen is an awesome thing. 7.0 V8. First sporty road car with four wheel drive too, a few years before Audi "invented" it with the Quattro

Its somthing to watch, but always makes me laugh how they make like £10 profit and mike goes "well its not always about making a profit, its all about keeping these cars on the road". lol no mike, thats just your excuse because you make crap decisions.
He really should take edd when he buys these cars lol.

i watch it
but ye its not about profit, because discovery pay them anyways lol
edd has alot of patience and is very logical but most of the stuff is pretty simple, just need the balls to take it on

Great programme. I've met Mike Brewer who presents it and he's a really decent bloke. He lives in Oxfordshire I think.

"we bort the car for 600 pahnd, then ed fand aht the engine was cream crackered, so he chucked in a noo one for 500 pahnd. Paints and lacquer came to anuva 50 squid, some refurbed alloys cost half a monkey. We sold the car for a 1500,so we were up a ton; £100 profit! Nice work ed!"
Good programme but fuckall cash to be had. Mike Brewers a pie.
