Reviews

fedorath I will still watch Wheeler Dealers, that is if I can handle the "High Energy" music and sound effects which detract, not thrill or improve the show in any way. Ant seems a nice chap but the truncated mechanical aspects which added so much to the show are gone; what a terrible shame.I have watched the program since its introduction into the U.S. market and it has certainly changed; the changes were an improvement until last season when something wasn't "Clicking" in the formula.When buying a new "Business", in this case a TV program with a proved formula, the last thing to do is make changes to components which have made the entity an asset. What a shame.A unique asset has been made a run of the mill "Show".Mr. Brewer, as you are the remaining component of the original program you must accept the responsibility for the result.Sometimes the best thing to do rather than compromise is "Let it Go".

Andy Dickens This is in my opinion the best car restoration show in the world. Each episode focuses on buying an unloved car that needs some work, then restoring and selling it on for a profit.It has not yet made the usual mistake that most car shows make - which is focusing on the relationships between the presenters, fake drama and stupid unrealistic deadlines instead of the actual business of restoring cars.I would prefer to see more of the actual car work and less of the test driving / staged negotiations, but I have watched every single show of every series multiple times.Keep them coming Mike and Edd, and please don't do what all the other shows have done with the fake drama.

lespaul-88775 As much as I like the program, I really cannot believe that Mike Brewer is a dealer. I was shocked as hell to find out he has a really big dealership!!Don't get me wrong, I really like watching the program, but overtime I do I think, "how the hell is this guy a dealer??". Here's a typical example:He buy's an Aston Martin for £12,500. He gets the poor mechanic, who never seems to get paid for doing ALL the work, to fix up the car. Im sorry but every mechanic I have ever been to charges good money to repair, especially good ones as this guy seems to be. They spend just under £2000 on parts to get the car running again bringing the total to £14,468. The mechanic then asks Mike, who has just done his "lovely bubbly I'm Dell Boy" impression after seeing the car, "How much do you think we'll get?". To which Mike Brewer say's; "I fink we'll get around £15,000 wiv a bit 'o' luck".WTF????!!!! I'm sorry, but he really has to be the worse f*****g dealer that ever lived!!! If I was the mechanic I would be gripping him by the throat saying, "So I've worked a f*****g week, got covered in dirt and oil, had to pay all my bills to run a garage and you think that we might get a grand total of £32 profit!!!!.... BETWEEN US!!!!". I would then repeatedly smash him about the head with a spanner to try and knock some brains into him!!!Surely I can't be the only one that thinks this??? In-fact, NO, everyone I know that has seen it has said the same thing. I haven't got a problem with either of these guys, in-fact, I actually really enjoy watching the show, albeit to watch the pathetic format of it, but you do get a good inside in what and what not to look for when buying second hand cars.... Sometimes!! And the mechanic give really handy tips. However, I really think it should be named something else???Something on the lines of:Fix it for free, Charity repairs, Profits don't matter Seriously NOT dealers Dealers... NOT!! No clue but we'll make it work Rich guys who like to fix cars for no profitIts obviously great television because I do watch it when its on and it has fantastic ratings. I really do wonder how many people take it seriously? Or is it maybe a ploy by Mike to get people to think; "God he's sh*t at dealing cars - i'll go to his dealership, I know i'll get a bargain as he's f***king clueless!!". OMG, it make so much sense now, that's exactly what the cheeky chappy has up his sleeve. Anyway, there's my £32 quids worth. If Im ever after a cheap Aston I'll give him a bell. TC

selenium-72743 First the good news, the format is great. I like the idea behind the show and watching Ed spanner his way through the renovation of some varied vehicles from the esoteric to the mundane, however...........I just wish Ed would learn to use another word other than "actually". I just watched an episode where he said something like "...it's actually designed to actually improve the aerodynamics and actually....". Seriously, c'mon. It's really amateurish and annoying, something that should have been dealt with long before the 162nd episode.The writers must be the laziest in the business because you can skip through almost the entire buying phase at the beginning of the show, the mid-point where Mike Brewer visits the workshop to check on progress and the last part where they sell because it's ALWAYS, ALWAYS the same.The test drive is lots of "Whooahh" Fantastic! Wow!! This fing goes like the clappers, it's great!!" as if he's never driven anything more powerful than a Reliant Robin before. This is followed on the way home by "It does have a few issues" (reels off long list).Then there's actually the actually interesting part where Ed actually diagnoses problems and actually begins to actually deal with them.Then Mike turns up and says "Why 'aven't you done nuffink? You spent how much?".Then there's actually an actually interesting bit where Ed actually does some actually interesting repairs and actually finishes the job.Then Mike comes back and says "I fink we cud ask plenty of fahsends of pahnds for this". Then a buyer turns up an Mike makes nowhere near the "Fahsends" he says he would. Oh, and then the totting up of how much the job has cost except it's not really accurate as they conveniently forget to include labour costs. I don't think I've seen a single project that would even have broken even without the free labour element.In its way this series is about as realistic as 'Top Gear' but with far more interesting content.
