Looks like a Bullitt Mustang next week (or coming later), just seen a trailer and he's in a green GT 390 being chased by a cop car.

Quite enjoyed the Isetta episode last night. Would have liked to see more of the body prep & painting, but good to see a break from the norm on the selling/seller.

Those three wheelers are something else!

No safety features whatsover. If you hit a cat or dog in one of those, you could easily end up with a broken leg.

Ive never wanted one before but I really want a bubble car now

As to accident safety, dont hit anything and then you dont need to worry!

(Do they go fast enough to crash?)

The guy doing the steering wheel is what makes Britain great. A shed, a few tools & a lot of skill and ingenuity.

A bit comical seeing both of them inside driving and being overtaken by lorries.

fast n' loud is worth a look as is texas car wars , though the latter is a bit more staged

Enjoyed that one, but I always prefer the ones where it's a really strip down and rebuild job, like the Fiat 500 they did recently.

Ed tweeded the other day that Brewer was in Japan, god I hope that's for WD, I can only imagine the culture class with Mike giving some Tokyo car dealer the 'oldoutyahand' treatment.

I watch on-line too. The one after the Skyline is the Triumph TR6 , I've seen that in full on Youtube. The one after that was this weeks show , the little BMW bubble car , Isetta

The one I watched was the complete episode , you have to check regularly as they are removed pretty quickly . When I typed my last reply it was available in 3 parts thanks to another uploader.

I usually find them by just typing Wheeler Dealers but setting the filter to upload date and choose within the last day / week.

Good luck

Edit they are still there pt 1 link

Wheeler Dealers on Wikipedia gives a certain amount of info on the cars although I've not looked to see who is entering the stuff >

I watched a couple yesterday.

The Skyline one was pretty poor overall so I'll pass that one over.

The carburettored TR6 was an odd one as they didn't even give the carbs a passing mention. Very odd. However, I was intrigued by the waterless coolant and overall, I was quite impressed by the job Ed did. Probably the only car they've done I would ever have bought.

it's not a 390, it's a 302 (should really be a 289). I know because I bought the car.

Just watched the Isetta episode. Wow, just wow. Amazing work by Edd, and what a great looking little thing.
