Did anyone see it on Discovery Realtime tonight 9.00pm - 10.00pm

It was a new series staring Mike Brewer and Edd China, telling you what to L@@K out for when buying a second hand car, etc..

He also had a few lemons for people to watch out for.??

Edd had the task of doing peoples cars up for them to resell to make a big profit come selling time..

Very enjoyable..

The consumer bits are quite good.

But the "renovating" cars is horrendous.

The bloke doing it keeps pointing out "this part only costs £3 so we're bound to make a profit".

He fails to point out that he spends about a 100 hours fucking about with whatever barrel of shit Mike Brewer has given him. Even if you value yourself at minimum wage each car winds up selling for much less than is spent.
