I think most people take him too seriously. Everything for the programme is tonge & cheek. It's a tv programme FFS so he needs to dramatise things.

He has been in the motor trade for over 25 years and has done very well out of it so he can't be that much of a twat!

Im not a huge fan but just don't know why everyone jumps on the band wagon and slates him. I just don't take it seriously.

Cant wait for it

Don't understand why people slag the show off, I love it lol. It got me into the idea of being able to get a decent car you can work on yourself without spending alot of money(I was only about 12 when I frst watched it). Anyway it should be good, can wait for it to get on telly now.

Watched a few Deals on Wheels programmes recently and i'm sure Mike has got more irritating with age. He is much more annoying on Wheeler Dealers than he was on Deals on Wheels (and a lot porkier).

it's got the 2wd gear stick but 90 spec everything else, i wonder if he'll let that slip?
or perhaps the buyer hsould go and kick off about it not being a 2wd car

hopefully they will have swapped all the suspension and brakes and stuff about to make it 2wd rather than just the box, but we'll have ot wait and see

Haha, he always tries to knock the price right down when buying a car, then flips his lid when someone makes him an offer when he's selling it again.

Just because on TV you only see them tarting items up, doesnt mean that's all they do. They have to edit the programme down to fit into 2x 30 min episodes and keep it interesting to keep the viewers interested. Though I agree occasionally all they do is tart it up.
