Title: Wheeler Dealers .......Dodge Charger,
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 14 July 2015, 20:05:43
Did anyone watch this episode tonight?

After 'Fatty Brewer' and his mate had fettled the  383 cubic inch V8 they took it to the drag strip.

Fast?......no shit slow.

The best  fatty Brewer could manage was a quarter mile in 18 seconds...... ;D

Sheesh.....My Omega is quicker than that.

Bit of a let down really. :-\

Edd China,
            always makes things look so easy,but then he doesn't have to do stuff on a cold wet and windy drive or roadway ::) and the new parts just drop out of thin air......just like that :D Give them a shitty 15 year old Omega to skin his knuckles on.....that'll sort the men from the boys  :P :P

Is that his real name?

I agree. Anyone can make it look easy with new parts and a centrally heated garage.

It's certainly the name he had when he was at school ;)

He always comes across like a nice fella at the car shows he's at.. or at least he never grumbles about posing with fans for photos (who all look like munchkins next to him! ;D)

Sure that was arepeat from a while ago.Now that Charger I'd have,especially in that colour.In fairness I think Ed China does the best he can to make that programme considering who he has to work with!!

Brewer is always disappointing, he's one of the worst presenters on TV...

Edd China is a very experienced and competent mechanic...

I do wish that WD would do 'ordinary' cars instead of cars that are usually beyond the average persons reach...

I suppose it depends what you call ordinary, but I don't remember them doing many things that I'd consider beyond reach.. beyond sensible reach, maybe (things like old VW busses are silly money for rot boxes these days, but still affordable to buy if not to weld up every year), but they are hardly doing £60k cars, are they?

There's not much TV in endlessly doing up £500 cars by blowing over a wing and giving it a polish before making £200 for a weeks labour, I suppose!
