PH, Do you have hate for Mike Brewer and Wheeler Dealers?
Discussion
I seem to recall Wheeler Dealers coming up in conversation once around here and the sheer rage the show got from PH gave me a hearty laugh.
Just flicked through the TV channels now and saw Mike and his hippie friend buying and working on the terrible heap of s
t that is the mini moke.
If ever a car had to be killed with fire, it was this. Coupled with Brewer, it makes it worse.
Which is a shame, because i used to like him on used car roadshow, but not he annoys me a bit. Maybe its just the concept of buying utter ste cars.
I had to turn it off after 10 minutes.

. like the show, i do dislike the bad acting from people buying the cars and supplieres etc for the show, and the haggling is so much fun to watch but they both proper petrolheads and fact they either bore or annoy others when it comes to cars, aint that a trademark of being a petrolhead?
I don't mind the acting so much. The fact that Mike clearly knows bugger all about mechanics and doesn't appear to listen to Ed does get on my wick a bit. The Mk1 Golf GTi one where he thinks 2nd gear synchro has broken cos he can't tell if he's in 1st or reverse. Ed straight away knows it's the linkage, as would any self respecting car person. Ed even fixes it and tells him it was the linkage, but he still tells the 'buyer' they fixed 2nd gear syncro.
This is not the only time, but a good example.
But still must see telly for a petrolhead.
And if he sat his plump arse on my bonnet, it'd be meeting the floor pretty bloody quickly.

...very good mechanic too.......
Mike Brewer gave me a wipe...*
I love the show, and they are two charachters who fit the programme and play off each other well. Dont take it too seriously its about the cars, and what could be done in our own garages if time wasnt an issue. Its not a fly on the wall documentary about a real garage as some on here seem to think

- at the NEC classic car show. He was giving out freebies, and gave me an alcohol windscreen wipe. OK??

Love the " haggling " over the price , so scripted it's untrue.
Yeah, but so is porn. And there's nothing wrong with a guilty pleasure from time to time.I like WD, it's a bit of car-related fun and you get to see how things are put together. I much prefer it to Top Gear. It's obviously scripted, but so what? If it wasn't it'd never get made.
