"Deals on Wheels" series 4 on 4oD

[Milford Cubicle]

I've recently discovered this - been looking for episodes online for a while. Nice to catch up on what was a fairly informative motoring show, in spite of the Brewer content. One of the episodes features a well known 'shiter.

Thanks for that. Never figured out why the called it 4OD. You have the BBC Player, ITV Player, 5 Player and Sky Player. Cant for the life of me guess why 4 had to be different and go for 4OD?

Channel 4 is well down with the kids, innit. They're the hippest kats in town. F-f-f-f-fresh!I struggle to watch Mike Brewer, you'd think after years of dealing with imported 4x4s he'd have figured out that you don't call them a "Mitsa-booshy".

[AXrescuer]

They must've been filmed when Brewer was on his cabbage soup diet. And, whatever happened to Richard Sutton?

Richard Sutton was a proper classic car journo, but I haven't seen his name in print for years.I wonder if 4OD will put the earlier series on - which features another of our number "selling" a car?Entertaining to see the legendary Mr Bickle nearly overshoot the ramps then get busy with the angle grinder

Maybe its cos the four - player sounds a bit dodgy??

Oh and Channel 4 is so not a stranger to anything dodgy! Remember the "Red Triangle" films late on a Friday night - what pap they were - I could get better stuff from the indian dude down the newsagents.

Sutton was motorsport director at Goodwood, although I dont know if he still is?

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/deal ... /episode-4I think the other 'shiter featured in Deals on Wheels is JJ, trying to get rid of a sheddy Mk1 BX.

I also remember a children's entertainer who ended up scrapping her mot-failure BX.

I remember that one,she took it to a breakers run by Hamish Irvine who used to race in the BTCC

Come on, you should have got this Volksy with your dirty mind.

Got it in one.As far as the dodgy C4 stuff is concerned most of it is captured here on the Foreplayer in Adam & Joes formative years. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/adam-and-joes-fourmative-yearsRe Richard Sutton. If he is a Motoring journo, he has his work cut out:

TriviaCan't drive, but intends to employ his friend Anthony Haynes as his personal driver.

'That ''overshoot the ramps'' was well staged, Mr W. From memory I had to do it 4 times before the cameraman was satisfied.The grinding was just pissing about -to make a load of sparks for telly.Tis all a phoney really.Hope the old girl is sitting in a dark lockup ,safe, someplace.Doubt a Splittie would get scrapped now. She was a solid old bus
