I'm just watching Wheeler Dealers on Discovery Real Time and I've come to the conclusion that the presenter, Mike Brewer, is a total nob-flake.
Example? He's driving a Mercedes 190E Cosworth and at one point he says "It just keeps on going" while in the background you can hear it bouncing off the rev limiter
Another choice quote from the same test drive, talking about uprated suspension :

He is a bit of a plonker
A bit? The bloke ruins the program.... Ed China the mechanic's a big enough cock-piece, but Mike Brewer just makes me want to rip his face off and slap his naked eyeballs with the back of a teaspoon...
I watched the test he did on the 300SX the other day. Cringeworthy.
He also went to the Jap car show @ Pod (I saw him there) and proceeded only to interview blokes who had spent £2000000000 on cosmetics but done fcuk all to the engine (with the exception of Mick with the Gold R32)
Tosser.
I get the feeling that this would only work if we could pursuade Ernest Borgnine to drive the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth hovercraft.
See the sig....
Can't disagree - never liked him
Did anyone see him on that Revved Up show he did.They sperted around 25grand on an MG ZR 105
On my last producer, the copper had decided I was driving a 300SXI watched the test he did on the 300SX the other day. Cringeworthy.

He's now buying replacement tyres - 205/55/15's and he's asking why they're so cheap at £70 per corner
Oh, and some professional he is...
Huh!?
The man knows his onions, of that there is no doubt
He's just described the Kumho tyre as "something my grandad would have" and the Avon tyre as "a bit more funky, it's got a Formula One style slick in it" - WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU BALL SACK?

He did an episode of Wheeler Dealers on the 205 GTI a while back. He bought a total shed for twice what it was worth, changed the interior plastic trim from grey to black by spray-painting it (in order to make the car look like the more desireable later models) talked a load of bollocks about how changing the gear linkage will stop the engine from mis-firing. In the end you could see that they had done a LOT more work than he admitted, like changing the gearbox (the gearshift pattern was different). Then the car appreaed on ebay and went through about 3 owners in as many months!
Remember when Ed China breathed on a suzuki 4x4 - it would'ent even pass an MOT. Sold for off road use only.
im sure that mike brewer did a show aaages ago where he was trying to show you how to make money selling cars, he bought a golf gti and went on and on about how easy it was gonna be to make a couple of grand on what he payed for it and in the end he couldnt shift it and he had to take almost a grand loss
Its gone!
Ok, I take it back he's a total twat, couldn't believe some of the stuff he's just been saying
What makes me laugh is when he finds someone with the same car as they're doing up thats absolutely mint and he says go on then give us a drive.I mean would you let that muppet drive your pride and joy ?? NoING way Mike.. thats what I'd say
lol, the guy is a bit of a piece
ring piece.
worthy of a teabagging .
Yes, but Ed China did once build a street-legal motorized lounge suite, which was
Apart from that, I agree with everything said in this thread.
