Autotrader show on Discovery channel

Saw this show for the first time last night and thought it was not a bad effort of a car show. Despite the obvious 'Auto Trader' advertising in the title and the presence of Mike Brewer the show seems non the worse. Worth a heads up for car disenchanted Top Gear viewers.

Shock horror, a car show that's actually stuffed with 'normal' cars and not medalilon man wet dreams on wheels. The format being only 30 mins feels a bit squeezed but there's not much poncing about. Discovery turbo channel if anyone is interested.

Mike Brewer has a monopoly on car shows on that channel

I prefer the one where they do up an old classic though.

Ditto above, loved the one about the old Capri recently. Also the wife as an MX-5 so picked up some quality tips on that one too

I think the one with the 928 is the best, that was mint when they sold it, i think the respray alone cost them £2k, that's more than they usually spend on the whole car

That'll be wheeler dealers. The older ones were better - 205 Gti, Saab 900 Turbo, Lancia Integrale, BMW 635 CSI, Golf Gti Mark 1....

Recent ones have been mainly crap with the likes of a corvette and an old Jeep Wrangler.

Yeahl, i saw the Targa one too, they only paid about £5k for it but it did need a new gearbox i think?

Missed the BMW 635 one,that sounds good.
