[quote=pete nice from volkszone.com]I used to work for Edd, & have met Mike quite a few times. The TV companies love the presenters to be all 'TV' when they are around. If you get to chat to mike when nobody is around he is a really nice bloke.
I was on the wheeler dealers beach buggy episode. I was the seller of the blue beetle.
It actually belonged to Edd, who sold it to the tv company, it had been sitting in the yard for about 2 years before hand.
Edd used to play with VW's in his younger days but has moved on to more radical projects. He doesn't really care for aircooled stuff to use seriously these days but has had a fair share of them in his time.
The show is light entertainment, it's not a documentary & is supposed to be fun. The buyers & sellers are bought in as extras from the crew's friends & familly. It makes it much easier to control & is safe. The production crew are on a tight schedule to get about 6 cars done in around 8-10 weeks.
The production crew buy the cars, they know fk all about cars & often buy a pup. Thats why when you see them for sale there is often a load more work been done as it's not 'in the script'
It's all a bit of fun & the TV crew want the presenters to be a bit OTT...

cant understand why u'd ditch ecos rims for standard latice rims ? even more so when the car should originally have shark tooths on it being a 4x4 , and sadly enough did i spot a 2wd thermostat housing ?
