Thread: Wheeler Dealers

    RE: Wheeler Dealers

    Don't get me wrong - I love the show. Have it series linked and seen many of them several times.

    But it's disheartening to see how much work is valued at near zero in terms of the sales price.

    Just finished watching the Z1 now.

    I always enjoy the show. Mike is such a douche and edd is bit of a dork but it's entertainment.

    Edd does give handy tips when doing things with I've taken on board.

    It's entertainment; Pam Anderson's boobs were fake but nobody complained when they were jogging up the beach in Baywatch, so take it with a pinch of salt and enjoy! :tounge:

    I like the show, I dont mind Mike or Ed but they do make it look a bit too easy... For instance Ed is changing suspension arms in a 25 year old Audi thats spent its life in the UK. He places his nice shiny spanner on the nut and as if by magic it just opens. If that were real life you would have 20 minutes with a gas torch roasting the nut, then another half hour of hanging out of a pull bar until you ring the head of it, then 10 minutes of fucking and blinding, a cup of tea and smoke, finishing off with the angle grinder and lump hammer.

    Id say they get Paul to come in and do all the sledging and then Ed takes out the bolt.
