Mike Wheeler - Born Dealer
Discussion
Anyone else watch this ?
I like anything car-related and will probably watch the series, but it did seem like a "I need the dosh" type of show. Some things surprised me - I wasn't shocked to find he had a nice house, but I had no idea he had a car dealership, and what an odd one. Second-hand Seat Aronas and Citroen Berlingo vans when I would have thought it would be more up-market performance stuff. As for the "customised" Transits I was lost for words. He seemed a bit surprised that there was a limited market and it had reached saturation point. However I do think he may have tapped into the customised Raptor market at the right time.
That Golf was interesting. I wonder if the DVLA know about the engine swap ? Such a pity it had been Barried - I can't see even a smidgeon of profit there.

I gave it a try last night but switched off half way through. Wasn't particularly impressed with it and will probably give the rest of the series a miss. Got the impression they are scrapping the bottom of the barrel now and it was just a little something to get the misses involved in

don't feel too sorry for him as he has this other business to fall back on
MB has a Youtube channel that has been showing One Automotive for quite a while, as well as other channels (eg. Shifting Metal) covering it too. Fair play to him though. He has a nice house and all the toys and could probably easily retire on the proceeds of WD re-runs, but he is still out there grafting. The pick ups and Transits looked like they might be suited to towing caravans however.
