Looking forward to new series myself, the man is a legend  :happy2:, he can drink too, we met him in IOM for TT a few years back and he ended up joining a grouop of us and we got him absolutely plastered!, next day he was warming up in front of camera ready for first report of the day and he spotted us, he was shouting over "It's all their fault!" pointing at us!, we just laughed and gave him the thumbs up and said see you tonight mike!!

love the programme but mike brewer annoys me! he goes on holiday, "buys" a car then leaves edd to do all the work, promises mega profits then bends over and scrapes a profit  :stupid:  :grin:
anybody else believe the buyers seem fake?
Title: Re: New series of wheeler dealer
Post by: VC on March 22, 2012, 07:54:11 pm
well to report on that dino episode

what a load of b0ll0cks  :chicken:

car needed nothing, no real entertainment unless youve never seen someone use sandpaper before.

He should have bought the Lotus Carlton i spotted tucked away in the back!!!

Title: Re: New series of wheeler dealer
Post by: VC on March 22, 2012, 08:00:19 pm

anybody else believe the buyers seem fake?

it is a setup yes, they are emailed first, then met so disclaimers and release forms can be signed for use by the program. Its not spontaneous, just portrayed that way for entertainment purposes - doesnt bother me but i preferred the original series when they would buy a shed and turn it around to make a profit

whats next? ed simply cleans it?

Post by: taff-turbo on March 22, 2012, 08:08:55 pm
fair enough, makes sense..... i had a nagging doubt that they we're just part of the production crew  :grin:

the old ones were much better, maybe mike brewer just got really lucky  :surprised:

Disappointed with the "Dino" episode. Changed a bearing in the distributor, a rear bush and err not much else really.  :confused:

They are definitely part of the team.
Maybe it will get better as I love the show  :happy2:

They even got someone else to polish it!  :grin:

I'd watch it even if they did a Skoda!  :signLOL:

Even though I had no connection with the car they did, I still love it no matter how cliched it has become!  :happy2:

Just watching the Mercedes g wagon episode, it's a bit of a beast. Think I'd rather have a well specced defender though!  :evilgrin:

The problem I have with the new series is that they seem to have run out of ideas of what to do. They but a car (like the G Wagon) which is in good condition to start off with and just tinkering with it for a while before selling it on. Think the series has run it's course. Shame, used to enjoy it.

The Morgan episode was the best so far, as it was practically a full on rebuild. Really enjoyed that episode, even though i hate morgans.

Yes, very true, chassis off and all sorts (forgot about that one). Not a big fan of Morgans myself but ETTO.
