nice clean cossie,who ever buys it should be happy and 5mins claim to fame lol.
its not to bad a show have seen a lot worse,what makes me laugh is that he seems to wear the same clothes on every show the old green jumper and leather jacket fella but my pet hate is when he sits on the bonnet or wing of the car just after its been polished or re sprayed.

is there any date in oct when show be on the telly ?

love watching wheeler dealers! could never make a living on what they do to cars they might make Ł1000 profit on paper! but put 100s of hours in labour!!! i would buy that cossie if money was there but seen all the programs mike really does miss sell cars! for example on the bmw 635csi program they fitted a standard mild steel exhaust,when selling it was sold by mike as a "performance stainless steel exhaust!" although who ever buys this car will truly get a bargain!!

I've set it to record on the sky+

It says "Mike is after a Ford Sierra Cosworth, which looks like a family vehicle and runs like a race car, but with only Ł5000 to spend, is his plan about to stall?"

Its ok Dojjatron, I'm sure Brewer will have 'found a fella that will do a swap deal for some standard rims' like he did when he gave away a set of BBS split rims for some shat Teledials on the Porka 928 that they did.

but obviously an "original" set of rims that will fit over the "standard" brakes will have the "enthusiast" thinking they've bought a "bargain" eh

never mind the fact that he might have ditched the 330 ap's that were holding 400 rampaging horses in check, he's probably going to have put standard ford hoses back on

Nice. You call me a cunt because I point out how you should actually read threads, as you know, that's the whole point of them after all!

i like watching the show and i like the idea of it but in the real world it wouldnt really work for everyone, but i do admire mikes confidence. lets admit it, however much you guys may hate him, i bet youd love him to be there when buying your next car!
eds ok to apart from his love for vw's!!! i know things like bolts have been preloosened prior to filming but they do only have half an hour. As a mechanic myself i think he is a very good mechanic but loves the rattle can!

ive seen the advert on telly but hasnt the saph in the ad got diamond cuts on it?

the steering rack on the jenson, he was pointing to a bolt that was already loose and was saying "that's going to be a right pig to get at" as it was wobbling about as he was pointing to it

I thouroughly agree. Nothing worse than seeing the same fucking questions on a thread that have already been answered. If you're going to bother reading the internet then pay more attention!
