Wheeler Dealers, with PH in charge.
Mike buys a decent, working car in the first place – as with the cost of repairs on “do-er up-ers” slightly duff, fun cars, makes no sense.
Mike buyers car over the internet (eBay), seller describes car as per advert. Mike has nothing to talk about, other than it is a good car. Test drive is Mike saying, “as described”.
Mike pays the amount listed on his “auction site”.
Mike arrives at garage, with A/C working, relaxed and in Mx5 Mk1 1.6 with LSD (every week). He just did a 400 mile trip, no probs.
Edd “whats up with the car?”
Mike gets laughed at and ridiculed by the PH Expertorate, told he should have bought from a dealer if he wanted a warranty, he clearly got the car cheaper from the private seller, suck it up and learn your lesson, loser
We watch Mike haggle over 5 litres of oil, as he has nothing to do, and then decide Opie Oils is cheaper. Viewers watch mike on the net, ordering oil. Viewers also watch Mike order 4 tyres from MyTyres. Mike also makes sure he gets Snow tyres in prep for the winter, while laughing at 4x4 drivers with summer tyres.
The next day, Mike returns to garage. Says to Edd “Well, the car looks pretty much the same – and you’ve done what anyone can do, I owe you £150 in labour”.
The car is listed on eBay, PH etc.
Viewers watch Mike chat over the phone with buyers, and agree a price of around £200 more than he paid for car.
As the deal is sorted over the phone, viewers watch Mike sign a V5. Mike and Seller smile at camera, and shake hands “As agreed”.
Garage shuts down as £50 doesn’t cover costs, and the show ends.
You missed a crucial part of the PH process, which I've added in above.Mike buys a decent, working car in the first place – as with the cost of repairs on “do-er up-ers” slightly duff, fun cars, makes no sense.

I mean they need to mix it up a bit, I think I've seen almost every episode, apart from a couple of the latest ones, but has he ever gone to an auction and bought a car, or sold one at an auction?
I quite enjoyed that Trading Up programme Mike did on his own, but that was mainly because it showed the different car cultures - at least most of the trading on that seemed sort of genuine.

That could work. After all, they've done it on Fast N Loud a couple of times. Talking of which, does anyone else get annoyed by the really in-your-face style of the auction house that Richard Rawlings goes to, especially the sweepers who drum up bidding (the stocky bald guy especially)?

Didn't that 3 series touring from an earlier season come from an Auction?Talking of which, does anyone else get annoyed by the really in-your-face style of the auction house that Richard Rawlings goes to, especially the sweepers who drum up bidding (the stocky bald guy especially)?
That being said, the auctions they frequent on F&L are a bit more upmarket than the crappy ones we have this side of the pond.
Not really automotive, but if you like watching "men in sheds" stuff check out this guys videos - welding, lathe and mill work, even a bit of casting. There are lots of videos, he does a series called Sunday night night cap. He's a mechanic by trade and does do a few car ones from his work.

Watch for the out takes aat the end of videos and the odd swear word or three (making it NSFW!)

.Edd was wearing an absolutely awesome Tron t-shirt on an episode I saw recently. It was a light cycle from the original 70's film. I want that so badly but haven't found it online to buy yet. 
Edit: I *think* it might have been this one:
