Anyone else whatch it last night? What did you think?
I was dead surprised as I didn't think I would enjoy it without Edd - but I did, very much so.
They did a unique (As designer wanted) triple wing conversion amoung other things like a Turbo rebuild & wheels.

Didn't even turn the box on last night... Will commence series record tonight and report back. What country is it made in? Like Escort Cozzy, not a fan of triple blunderbus rear wing tho.

It's still shot in the US of A - still very familiar but I thought it was more technical than before.

Haven't watched it but looking at that pic it really bugs me that the wing tips don't line up.
I think I'll miss Edd too much to watch this, Mr Brewer really pushes my buttons in a bad way.

I thought the same but Ant's enthusiasm for cars really shows through and it made Mike infinitly more tolerable for me.
Deffo more techy stuff than with Edd. (During episode 1, Ant drew out and explained fully how a Turbo works - Even my Wife said she understood now! Before, she would have just said a Turbo was the thing on my old Forester that went whoosh)

It was ok. Far better than the last series, but would have been 10000 times better if it was filmed in the UK.
The series will go downhill as the cars will generally be far less interesting and more geared to appeal to the yanks.

100% Agree - unfortunately, the big money is over there for car shows. Shame but true. Like the BBC with Top Gear, they sold WD to the USA big time.

I remember the very day in 1978 when my Dad came home with our brand new (Rented from Radio Rentals) Fergerson VHS player (I was 8)
I still say that the the speed at which the top loader ejected had more power than a Chuck Norris uppercut! My parents still have a VHS player in the bedroom for viewing family tapes made of the grandkids, our weddings etc.

Now you say that about Mr Brewer - I've actually met him in person 3 times and been to 2 award evenings that he has presented at - he is a completely different person in the flesh, very genuine & interested to the point he came and sought me out for more info / in depth look at the cars the following day on the club stand at the NEC restoration show - what you see / view on the box is what the directors / producers think makes good viewing - it's all scripted - it may be difficult for some viewers of the show to accept but I would say in defence of MB - don't judge a book by it's cover |

Found it hard work to watch with no real content. Buy Escort for $30,000- wash and service - fit some boy racer parts - Idiots guide to how a turbo works - sell back to original owner for $50,000.
Sorry forgot - fit new gasket to foot of rear wing. Dreadful.

Car SOS for the win. New series on more 4 this coming Monday. Don't bother with WD anymore An actual new series or just repeats? They are repeats. Car SOS is a National Geographic programme. Anything on any of the "4" Channels is a repeat, but it's the latest series so new to"4" (ie/Freeview) |

With Wheeler Dealers, it does disappoint me these days and has done for a while. Primarily, being in America is the big thing that spoils it and the abundance of American Cars and Americanisation of the programme. Now, I understand that there are plenty of people who would be interested in seeing a Mustang or a Corvette or a Camaro or such like, so one per series would be understandable.
Wheeler Dealers 5 or 10 years ago was superb. Nothing came close in my opinion. You can't really blame Mike Brewer or those who make the Programme to chase the money and make it a more global thing though, it just inevitably waters down the programme and spoils it for many really long term fans such as myself and non doubt others on here. Mike is a good car bloke though. He acts up for the camera and all that, but again, even when Wheeler Dealers was a proper UK show it had to appeal to a wider audience than us "proper" car people, so he has to be that guy.
I thought the latest one was a decent episode because it featured one of my all time favourite cars, but if it featured a yank car, or another off-road project, converting something to electric or the usual stuff they seemed to be doing more and more of, it wouldn't have been of any real interest.
Next week though we've got the first episode of Drew Pritchard's new car show though and that will be very good I hope.
