Classic Car Rescue, tonight 8pm, C5.

[m8rky]

Crikey I did not think a person existed that had a more annoying voice than Nick Grimshaw but that mockney Bernie..

[JDH1]

So C5 can find room for this, but not Fifth Gear? Can't imagine who this would appeal to. Neither funny, nor informative. The fake arguements/accidents were just an insult to your intelligence.

e type roadster 3.8 ,under a tarp , near me , boxed in by 2 old mgs..the chrome work still looks good, and still has original black number plate...

so far been unable to get hold of the owner...been sat there for at least a year..

[miniman]

Ah an Alfa Romero. Clearly a genuine expert.

What an absolute crock of st.

I do enjoy WD but it has always mildly annoyed me

I will in future watch it with the respect it deserves after this ste

[vrsmxtb]

That was rubbish - no technical detail whatsoever, not entertaining, annoying people.

Shows what a decent balance Wheeler Dealers actually has.

[Justin Cyder]

A tenner says all of us moaners watch next week & come back for another moan.

What they've obviously done though is decide that Bernie is the money shot & the car is secondary, hence all the way to the 2nd segment before we see the car. Then a gloss over the awful resto & a bunch of rigged up drama for the win/distraction.

Load of old nonsense.

[m8rky]

Googled that Dylan bloke who did the valuation,oddly no results for such a big shot???

Yup! Having now seen the whole of the clip on the starting of the engine agree, as a lot of the smoke decreased after a few seconds - oil not water. Well, that and the fact that the carbs have been sorted.

They where SU's weren't they, you can fill the things to the top with oil and all they do is spit the over fill out of the hole at the top of the cap.

Sure he said he had over filled them which caused the smoking engine.

What a bag of old ste, the bit where the American reversed the car into something (an engine on a host left dangling 2 inches of the ground in a door way! WTF?) literally made me want to die with embarrasment for the human race.

[Emeye]

Sort of watched this but was being talked at by the wife.

God it was ste. I love wheeler dealer, this was like a really low budget version of custom my ride, which I quite enjoy. Why do TV producers seem to think that annoying people shouting at each other is good tv?

[Le Pop]

A beautiful car that looks like a penis restored by a knob. Disappointing.

A valuation by some "expert" means fk all. Only worth what I sells for.

When I first read that I thought you'd said you were being taken by the wife

It's a long time ago since I had SU's but, seem to remember they can stick if incorrect oil is used and flood the engine. Mind, I would not be surprised to learn that they did it for effect/drama.
