Re: wheeler dealers trading up

More staged nonsense, all the little "mishaps" along the way.The cars not arriving on time, the celica breaking down etc, and he still comes out on top.Its not realistic, if the "normal" folk did this, they would end up totally skint with nothing to show for it.

There used to be a mk 2 tina there at the start, but it...

Re: PC on google maps

Ha! I was in the carpark the day they took those images having a walk with tony Turner our archivist. We saw the car and shambled towards it, but didn't get our photos taken. Bad times.

Makes you wonder who sponsored the series ;) How about Mark Evans (of "is born" fame). He is great at explaining things in English and making tedious jobs look interesting. Abs...

Re: wheeler dealers trading up

Two things dont make sense on this show.First if the pump was gone, spraying easy start would only get it going briefly.You couldn't drive anywhere.Second, why didnt the chap that bought that green yoke just buy it from the chap that Mike bought it from? Mike looks totally out of place working on th...

Re: wheeler dealers trading up

Ah Mike had to put in "some"elbow grease himself instead of abusing poor Edd.All cosmetic changes though.Can all this type of add ons really boost up the price of the car?

I like the show though.
