Because his surname is Priestly, not Presley.
He would be better off nicknamed "Bish" or something similarly evangelical.
I don’t think quite you understand how nicknames come up. They often originate because the surname is very similar to something else and it seems to have stuck over years even if it doesn’t fit your criteria for existing. He would be better off nicknamed "Bish" or something similarly evangelical.
Freddie Flintoff is a prime example or do you think that’s stupid as well?

Yes, I also happen to think that Freddie Flintoff is a stupid name. See above re: other opinions.
If Elvis did that bodywork I’ll eat a Pacha interior 
Once again, car magically goes from being a ‘bitza’ to finished with just a bit of welding, heated windscreen (why?), ‘upgraded’ brakes (again, why when originality is everything as far as these cars go) and a service - oh. with broken studs so off to a specialist it went
Harmless TV, but this one was magically completed even by Wheeler Dealer standards.
Anyway, gave me an hour of chuckling at the screen - so I guess that’s the entertainment value

A first for MB I think restoring a complete car? Never known him take on a rebuild project before.
Looks like you can have a heated front screen on any car? If I had to replace a broken screen I think I would be looking up the price for my car, best thing since sliced bread.
Agree with above though not too much done by elvis, had he left the building? Maybe he did the engine rebuilding part though I think that is where is expertise is not in fabricating a repair section and the brake rebuild was unnecessary.
Good episode though

It started of with P6000s (on the front, at least), and ended up with Pilot sports.
It likely that the wheels had to be changed to facilitate the larger calipers.
I didn't see any mention in the totting up at the end.
I also thought that the headlining looked poor in the driving shots towards the end of the show.
I'd be happy to tootle about in it, though.

I thought I saw part of the word Michelin on the front passenger side tyre when it was parked, so it ended up on a set of those.
Still, no mention of the new tyres. No mention of any suspension refresh or clean up when they had the car in pieces, surely for a daily driver you'd be cleaning and sealing / coating bits (both underneath and in the wheel arches) to prevent corrosion?
It was also pretty amazing how they managed to match the paint with the car not even there.
I don't know what those brakes were (I couldn't read the wording on the calipers) seemed quite an expense that probably wasn't needed.
But, I liked it!

Following on from the earlier posts re Elvis doing work etc. I watched the show last night quite closely.....he did next to f all work. Nothing. Welding, cpl of tacks and that was hit. Hit the bent metal once twice, then boom, next scene it was all bent into shape....He does nothing!
