A bit far fetched and no way I’d ever buy a car from them, but entertaining enough programme and some interesting cars coming up that you probably won’t see on screen anywhere else.

It's pretty decent in a lo-fi sorta way, like early Wheeler Dealers. I noticed in the credits wheeler dealers behind the scenes mechanic Paul is also in this one as well as the old Wheeler Dealers camera men. I guess the yanks must have sacked everyone when they took over @ WD, not just Ed!

Gus Gregory is also a tip-top photographer, shooting for all the big-name titles. (Haven't watched the show yet so don't know if that's mentioned?) gusgregoryphotographer.com/ |

I've actually enjoyed watching the series so far and have often wondered if I could earn enough to live on doing something similar to their business plan. Not being brave or mechanically talented enough has held these dreams off for now !

Except Edd left on his own accord . Ah yes i forgot, creative differences. He definitely wasn't at all a massive pain in the arris on set or anything like that. Still he appears to have a new show, or pilot, or youtube series, can't really tell. I've actually enjoyed watching the series so far and have often wondered if I could earn enough to live on doing something similar to their business plan. Not being brave or mechanically talented enough has held these dreams off for now ! Nope, TV is really, really not real, as in not remotely real. If you wanna fix/restore classics for a living you need to charge by the hour, and charge well! I'd still recommend against it as doing something you enjoy for a hobby as a living has the habit of sucking ALL the fun out of it. |

Very interesting baracus. Whilst going off topic and coming back on topic. It will be interesting to see Edd go alone. I do like him but he can get very boring at times. His Where's Edd Vlogs are an example of that as well as his pre-Wheeler Dealer history. IMHO it's why him and Mike work well together. Yes, Mike is annoying, but it is put on and he is aware of how the business works. Ant almost says all of what Edd did but he is a much better presenter it pains me to say for the following reason: Jeremy Clarkson years ago said his advice to any upcoming presenter would be to focus the word count down. While he acknowledged content was tricky to create at times, making it presentable and sustainably engaging is another thing. He was saying the production team (Wilman) and him spend hours and hours editing the footage to make it so! Every Noel needs a Liam, and vice versa for mainstream. It's one reason why Roadkill works well too. With the above, even on blogs I've had far more activity than I ever did previously. I was told that by all sorts of people years ago like lecturers etc. but not quite in the same way which is where I can struggle to grab concepts, but I am a massive overthinker. I do wish Edd the best however and will indeed catch a few episodes. Annnnd BACK! I'll have to watch a few episodes. It sounds right up a few alleys! And yes, I still suck at condensing yet keeping things succinct :lol:. |

I know on the 27th they're doing a BX GTi 16v, so I'll be watching that. I even know which BX it was, and I have pretty much assumed it will already make the Golf GTi look like the least bodged car ever!  |

I wouldn't buy a motor from them, but it is entertaining, though they do both seem alittle scared of doing anything properly!

IMHO it's why him and Mike work well together. Yes, Mike is annoying, but it is put on and he is aware of how the business works. I've never got why so many people think Mike is a dick just because he acts enthusiastic and says the same things every week, it's part and parcel of a tv 'format' you do have to say & do the same thing every week, it's the nature of the beast! He's a top hole presenter wallah , but he does take any criticism of WD far far far too seriously, he's constantly taking the bait on social meeja. Tale a chill pill fella  Jeremy Clarkson years ago said his advice to any upcoming presenter would be to focus the word count down. While he acknowledged content was tricky to create at times, making it presentable and sustainably engaging is another thing. He was saying the production team (Wilman) and him spend hours and hours editing the footage to make it so! Every Noel needs a Liam, and vice versa for mainstream. It's one reason why Roadkill works well too. If you want to be a car tv sorta presenter you need a ready to go package nowadays as budgets have been getting constantly hammered for more than a decade thanks to youtube and the like. By ready to go i mean you need your own garage that a film crew can turn up and start shooting at, a back story and a pitch. Having said that i think most presenters get their 1st gigs by being mates or mates of mates of production staff, and getting asked if they fancy screentest for x over a beer, it's a fairly incestuous industry. The big joke is that youtube is canabilising broadcast, but youtube car shows themselves are not remotely viable. Consider that a 45min car show costs high 5 figure to low 6 figures PER EPISODE, and the ROI on millions of youtube views is a couple of grand. As for clarksons advice, yes to a point, but it's based on having natural talent as a a presenter in the first place. People can either do it via natural aptitude or they can't. Those that can, can get better, but those that can't aren't gonna crack it ever. Frieburger is one of those natural talents, he's very good. He actually quit his job at Hod Rod magazine back in '06 to start a web car TV channel (car throttle TV IIRC), it was pretty much Motortrend light with a lot of the same shows just smaller budgets. His financial backers pulled out after a year, he went back to Hod Rod Magazine, and i guess he must of badgered the execs until they funded motortrend, and thus his vision was complete, and damn it's good. I just hope he got a big payday now they've sold it to discovery. With the above, even on blogs I've had far more activity than I ever did previously. I was told that by all sorts of people years ago like lecturers etc. but not quite in the same way which is where I can struggle to grab concepts, but I am a massive overthinker. I do wish Edd the best however and will indeed catch a few episodes. Annnnd BACK! I'll have to watch a few episodes. It sounds right up a few alleys! And yes, I still suck at condensing yet keeping things succinct :lol:. Yes, yes you do |
