There back on our screens in a couple of weeks. Datsun 240z, AMC Pacer and a Pontiac GTO.

From the trailer it looks like they've both gone over to the US.

Yes, it was only a matter of time. They have picked up quite a few of their cars over the pond in the last couple of years and the show has been picked up by Velocity in America. I am guessing that Velocity are calling the shots now.

As soon as they call the boot the "trunk", bonnet the "hood" or the wings "fenders" I am turning off.

I imagine you might be turning off quite quickly. Mike seems to be easily influenced!

Hmm, all based in America, dodgy branded workshop, chav'd up AMC Pacer.

I suspect I will not make the end of this series...

The Pacer went for less than $8000. If they took that they must have lost loads of money.

Its all fiction on that side. Suggestions made on numerous forums is that the car buyers/sellers are usually friends and family of the crew!

Doesn't stop me watching it though smile

Exactly....its all part of the show. I just enjoy watching Ed fix them up and if I learn a few things to try on my own cars then im happy.

To be honest watching Wheeler Dealers has certainly given me confidence to at least have a go at my own repairs rather, and I think saved me a few quid in the process.

Surprised they got that much for it. That's horrible.
