I can't wait to see how he 'fixes' this rust! Please tell me he's going to remove the strut and attack the real problem from inside the arch??

That'll be a no then.

mike brewer annoys me.

Pretty fking funny though

I was shouting at the tv!

I remember a while ago he did the same with some BBS on a 944, selling them back to a dealer for a fraction of what they were actually worth

[paulwoof]

ah was waiting for thre spoiler. i think wheeler dealers should stick to restoring classics not making drift cars, track cars it just gets cringeworthy

[Dr Doofenshmirtz]

Oh dear. I can barely watch this.

so far:
rust- covered up (extensively)
Cheapo cooler- yes (A. Graham Bell says paint it black)
loads more power- dont see how from above, but not over yet (remap?!)
halfords book shelf- yes
street cred +++++
enthusiasts cred -----

Why does mike brewer call anything that is remotely quick a 'supercar'??

[Justin Cyder]

Hmmmm, rear tyres seem a bit low Mike.

[Nedzilla]

fk me! Notorious B.I.G has risen from the dead and bought the skyline!!

[m555]

easily the worst WD i have ever seen.

[Butter Face]

That wing is terrible. Haha

[Arun_D]

Not their best, by far. Would have been nice to see Edd tackle a juicy issue with the Skyline's mechanicals.

I probably would have enjoyed more it if they actually started off with the car as it was at the end and got rid of the aftermarket tat that Edd usually seems to dislike so much in other episodes. Suppose the drift thing was the interesting theme in this one.

What a shame about the wheels!

[Butter Face]

Didn't sound all that great either. Bit of a let down.

I found this week's episode pretty poor, easily the worst ever. Although, IMO still not as bad as Classic Car Rescue.

Exactly, easily the worst WD ever and that is including the willys jeep from a few weeks ago. Very rare they feature cars I have no interest in but they have managed it twice in four episodes. Not just my view my mates down the pub seem to agree.

Quality!

[Andyjc86]

God that was awful. Did I really just waste an hour watching Ed weld a patch, swap an intercooler and fit one of halfords finest spoilers????

This series has been a real let down so far, unless they go back to the bargains that regular people could/would do then I don't think the show will last much longer.

[dmulally]

I don't mind the show. Just try to think of him as Stan Butler from On The Buses and it isn't so bad.

[MG CHRIS]

That was boring so an hour of program and only 3 jobs done on it the spoiler was a waste of money. The last couple of series haven't been the best and this series has been dire go back to restoring classic and modern classic like it used to be.

Feel the same. They don't seem to be delving as deep into cars as in previous series, I enjoyed them getting more in about the mechanical side of cars.

Last night was pretty terrible. I'd have happily given Mike £200 for those Advans even though they were looking pretty fooked
