Ed China leaves Wheeler Dealers

The Pink Panther said:
I skipped through two American episodes
Watched the first few minutes, then to some of Edd's work, then to the end where they give a breakdown of costs and manhours labour

First up was a Maserati which was sold at cost price
Edd undertook 57 hours labour which weren't included

The second was a Merc where they made $6,000 "profit" but again, Edd's 76 hours labour were not included and on this car they were donated $16,000 of spare parts

Yup it shows how stupid that money calculation is for this kind of project. It makes no sense financially, and I doubt it should. Car renovation is done for the love of the cars as far as I am concerned.
 
Ha ha ha that is unreal the Cockney guy is getting 'death threats'! Its Wheeler dealers for Christ sake!

How much of an oddball must you be, that because one of the Wheeler Dealers presenters leaves the show you decide to send the other one death threats...!!! haha!

I agree with you. :)

It's like antiques road show.

They get dealers to sell at half the price because the cameras are there then they wank each other off when they make profit.

Bullshit.
 
I watched the first episode of the new series earlier, gonna have to get used to Ant Anstead instead of Ed China,
I surprised myself by enjoying it, they chose a nice car to start the new series, a Ford Escort RS Cosworth,
it's still based in the US and you wouldn't believe how much fast Fords go for over there.

you can get it through Kodi if you want to watch it.

Crazy shit...

I enjoyed watching WD for a few years, thanks to Ed & China for entertaining me for that time.
 
I used to enjoy WD until the later series when they were in the US, they had Edd acting as the grumpy mechanic and Mike as his usual arse self. The new series first episode was so so, too much of Mike in it for me, and I don't like Ant's way of talking as if his audience are 16 years old kids. For me the new format is not as informative or interesting as the previous format with the focus on Edd in the shed.

I agree it was better with Ed China and he was the main reason I watched it also,
but WD will keep me going till Mr China gets his own show, I follow Ed on twitter and think it won't be long till he gets his own thing.
I wish the BBC would employ him, he could replace James May, the man who could put a glass eye to sleep.
 
Having just watched episode 2 I am now certain that the series has been dumbed down, the majority of people who watch this show will know what a gasket is and don't need a 5 minute section on how a gasket works, please grant us with a little bit of intelligence.
