14N Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Love it, or hate it (or just hate Brewer), the new series of Wheeler Dealers starts tonight - Discovery Channel 9pm Some interesting cars in the upcoming weeks (including the much awaited Datsun 240Z) 23rd March - Pontiac GTO 30th March - Ford F150 6th April - MGA 13th April - BMW 2002tii 20th April - AMC Pacer 27th April - Datsun 240Z 4th May - VW 181 Thing 11th May - De Soto 18th May - Best of USA ? Lets see how many times Edd orders parts from the USA, waits for them to be delivered and then unwraps the parcel in the same clothes that he took the part off the car and discovered he needed a new one in the first place. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 There's a lot of good cars in this series. I'd be interested to see how easily he found a VW thing as they seem to be quite loved over in the states! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 thanks for the heads up, always watch this, it's not great but it has cars in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tay Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Its actually made me want to do some work on my car. I love how Mike can't negotiate for toffee. Why can't i ever meet someone like him when I'm buying a car?!? I fitted my own disks and pads recently and was surprised how easy it actually was. I have a bit of a mods and upgrades shopping list coming along to tidy up the old Z now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Bit disappointed with the line up of cars this series. I know they seem to be heavily targeting the american market these days, but id rather then did some more cars I can relate to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatooandy67 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Nice 1, didn't know about this so thanks for the heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Just noticed there is the new "Street Outlaws" series on afterwards (10pm). Now that is an interesting show, ...can't beat a bit of US style illegal street drag racing with ridiculously powerful V8 monsters on rural highways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 ONG! I've just seen the Pacer episode. I think Edd's lost it or he's been drinking Terraclean. Putting signed viper stripes on a Impreza was a bit WTF?! (Remember that?) but that Pacer is..... Different? I just hope and pray he got whatever it was out of his system before picking up tools on the 240z. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14N Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Credit where credit's due. With the carefully placed vinyl on the rear window changing the lines of the car and gave it (Quote) "More powerful haunches and a sense of purpose". Yes Edd, you definitely flocked that one fella. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryjax Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 After watching last night my thought was WTF. Next week they're doing a zed. Let's hope Mr China is sober and off of what ever drug he was taking while doing that Pacer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoD Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 thats how they get the stupid money for cars just state its on a tv programs shame its not a real representation of "flipping cars" not something the random guy in his shed can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been watching that since the beginning, love it When I was in Vegas I met some people from Oklahoma at one of the tables and told them I love it and they were less than complimentary, they did say at least I didn't watch "extreme noodling" as that's set in Oklahoma too The NHRA are now banning anyone involved in Street Outlaws from racing at their tracks now though which is a bit of a shame as SO is clearly staged with safety crews etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 ONG! I've just seen the Pacer episode. I think Edd's lost it or he's been drinking Terraclean. I just watched the same episode and words fail me. It was like going back to the very first Wheeler Dealer series and the dodgy stuff he used to do back then.
