That Wheeler Dealer Chap
« on: 19 July 2018, 18:22:13 »

Mike Brewer, I knew he was a Trader from the old days, but didnt realize he still at it, Based in Luton and another Branch in Sheffield.

by the way, He's got no Omega's so dont bother searching for one.

Fatty Brewer is full of child-like enthusiasm, which can become annoying after a while. :)

Far too much like Mr. Toad with his disregard for rhe truth and unjustified self-importance.
Seeing the way he "negotiates" on the programme, he isn't good at his part of the job either, whereas Edd does all the real work.

Too true! :y

When has he ever made a good, living wage,  profit on a car that they have restored? After all the buying of the vehicles and the investment in parts and labour by Edd, the selling price gives them a pitence of a profit. :o ;)

For opps sake... You don't want much for your car telly tax...

It's scripted entertainment not reality... ::)

Although the projects they did generally have the potential to be plausible/viable  ;)

It's clearly not about what profit they make, as it's just a tv show, but I really do object to the way Brewer assumes seniority over Edd, likening China to his "boy" who will fix any crap that he buys without demur and does very little himself - except to try to take all the glory for himself.
Did I say that I don't like him?

I've met Edd China - seemed like a nice bloke. He also used to regularly be at his gaff around the corner from my house in Bracknell.
Not met Edd's replacement, but he has something of a reputation..

I reckon Mike probably isn't half as annoying in real life, to be honest.

Yes, DG, you did - but that's obvious, and carefully rehearsed.
Apparently, some of the "public" are production team members, who also end up with the restored cars afterwards.
That doesn't make Brewer any less of a turd, however!

Get rid of Brewer ,he's a crap used car dealer at best
 make a new program with Edd China and Ant anstead and Mark Evans
and make it cars that people actually buy and use
not crappy niche market toy cars that never get used .

Agreed, obviously!
Does he think that we are all fools and that he can get away with his blatant lies in front of a tv audience?
An example that comes readily to mind is with that Mini Moke.
He argued with Edd regarding the white bits on the car, and then very loudly again when Edd changed the seat covers, etc., to white.
In front of his potential buyer, he asked what he thought of the interior colours.
"Fine", said the customer. "I like it"
"yes", replied Brewer,. "I decided on it myself"!  :o :o ::)

The quiet chap Paul, who occasionally helps out Edd in the workshop and turns up with the yellow van and trailer when Brewers latest POS breaks down, is actually the shows technical advisor.  ;)
