@mikebrewer has over 15,000 followers on Twitter so surely people do like him?
@TheEddChina has just under 11,400 and even Edd's non speaking helper Paul is on Twitter. @thepaulbrackley. Being honest though.... I would trust Edd with my car and if I wanted to sell it, I would let Mike have a go.

Oddly enough..... I'm nothing to do with the production team, Wheeler Dealers or Discovery !!

Just a Wheeler Dealer fan with a passion for classic cars. Simple really.

A passion for classic cars, yet you're on Scoobynet, the home of chav-mobiles!

Anyway, Whealer Dealers is rigged. The production crew are the 'buyers'.

I came across this discussion via Google and the thread says its not Scooby related - so I thought I would comment.

I can assure you that I'm not a Chav either.

And the production team, as far as I know, make their money by selling the show to Discovery. I only came on here to say that Mike and Edd seem quite popular on Twitter and within an hour I'm a 'Chav' member of the Wheeler Dealers production crew. I feel a sense of achievement

You should feel honoured. These days, most new visitors don't even get more than two posts in before they leave. Welcome to Scoobynet's Non-Scooby Related, the home of racism, keyboard warriors, ***** waving and general bitterness.

And don't fret, you've not been labelled as anything.





Yet.

That's fair enough, most of the time an old thread gets bumped up by a new member there is an ulterior motive.

FWIW i think Wheels Dealers is a good programme, always easy watching.

It reminds me of 99greenwagon, when he went through that period of answering everyone's "my car is hesitating"-based threads, by triumphantly offering, "It'll be your spark plugs mate!". (He had recently cured the same issue with new sparks).

It really made me laugh; the repetitiveness of it. So much so, it's now a 'legendary' standing joke between us.

I always enjoy watching him with his mechanical jobs. He is a good all round mechanical worker with a sound basic knowledge.He is also a capable presenter.

I love comparing the slick presenting style (relatively speaking) of Edd now; compared to when he first started. He was, unsurprisingly!, a bit wooden and appeared 'self-conscious' in front of cam.

I love observing how presenters 'evolve' over time, etc.

Dead right of course, and it was all such accurate advice too!

I like Ed, to be fair he seems to know what hes at most of the time (apart from painting lol), Wheeler Dealers is fine if you dont take it too seriously....some light hearted humour with cars thrown into the mix, what more could you want lol

Arrrrrrgh! I can't abide Ortis's 'ebullience'!

Same goes for all the other ****'s on TGS lol

Although it's 'worth it' when Polly gets all but naked.
