AXrescuer Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 After last night's episode, I'm even more convinced that Mike Brewer is a total numbskull. Acting all surprised about his fruitless search for a quality VW Type 2 Camper for under 5k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogeezer Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Is that the one where they did the hideous wrap thing on the T25? It was so bad Edd had to say he wanted it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saabhappy Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Is that the one where they did the hideous wrap thing on the T25? It was so bad Edd had to say he wanted it..With the Astroturf for carpet... One of the worst ever. I quite enjoyed last night's programme but I feared the worst when I saw the idea was to "do up" a VW van. Once you admit that it's not instructional so much as entertainment Wheeler Dealers is great fun, but I have learnt some useful bits'n'pieces from it. Edd China is a really nice guy - I spoke to him at the NEC a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I wanted a repeat of the VW episode last week, It was shite and very amateurish, Almost like they ran out of ideas and his mate offered him the van so he though, fuck it, it's will fill a time solt.I'm yet to watch the new episode from last night as i sky+ it.

Jack_Harpers_Teeth Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Yeah I watched this one last night. I reckon Edd's choice of that Metallic Orange was a good choice, however I was a bit underwhelmed by Mike Brewers' statement that he was to have been "proud" to have sold the van to a army Major "as he is one of our brave boys fighting for our country". Someone should have told him the war ended 60 odd years ago (didn't it? ) I also wonder if Mr. Brewer was so very "proud" to have given this mystrious Army Officer a generous discount too? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXrescuer Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Edd China is a really nice guy - I spoke to him at the NEC a couple of years ago.I agree. In fact the show would be much better without Brewer at all imho.For a supposed pro car salesman, the guy couldn't haggle a deal to save his life!

retrogeezer Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 yeh, I saw that. I'm a bit pissed off with sky, I pay for the 'knowledge' pack that includes Discovery/Discovery Turbo/Science/Knowledge etc but it doesn't include Discovery Real Time!! They put that in another bloody pack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greengartside Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm sure Sky News meant to write this..... "If the bullet had hit the pilot a millimetre lower, those on board wouldn't have stood a chance....of buying Mike and Edd's Mk1 Golf GTi 'Campaign'* with the wrong wheels and side stripes put on upside down for a bargain £82934737228239393827.37p" *It wasn't a Campaign, despite Mike almost 'swearin on 'is old ma's grayvve innit' that it was.

HillmanImp Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Why was Mike Brewer on that helicopter? Was he buying a cheap classic there?Thats what i was thinking. Google tells me it was because he was making a programme called 'Frontline Battle machines' for Discovery and was onboard as it was the last surviving aircraft from the Faulklands war.

Station Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 If you've watched Mythbusters, you'll know a bullet can't ricochet acute angles. It was probably a bit of shrapnel (but a peice of hot, fast shrapnel) that touched his nose. Actually, Mike Brewer probably did die, but he haggled death into some ridiculous, laughable deal. Or he just kicked him out again for being what he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Why was Mike Brewer on that helicopter?I'd like to think that he was being dropped on the taliban. Like some giant, bollox spouting bomb falling from the skies above Afghanistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket88 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Brewer really is a complete and utter twat. You get the impression that Ed would quite like to administer a quick blow to the back of his head with a handy adjustable.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autofive Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 IMO brewer is a twat ive been watching this new series, and noted the number of times he starts a cold v6 or v8 then immediately bangs it off the rev limiter cor - listen to that engine - he says - while the shocked owner looks on in disbelief the cosworth sierra: 5920 spent (not including labour, transport costs or fees), then sold for 6200 the 840 beemer: 5040 spent (not including labour, transport costs or fees), then sold for 5750 the L reg stag: 4529 spent (not including labour, transport costs or fees) advertises for 5995 then sells it for 5500 id be crying in my beer with those deals - but brewer puts on his mockery brave face each time, and forgets about his overheads im uploading the TVR episode (edited to remove the filler bits) to utube right now - i ll add a link once its processed - well worth watching, if only for brewers buying techniques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
