MG TD TF 1500 - Wheeler Dealers is awful

When they lost Edd the show went downhill. It seams Mike is just doing it to build him self up with all the other shows.

I don't agree. Watch closer. Ant goes into very detailed description of projects. Not sure why the response to him is so negative here?

There is also a new(?) show shot in uK that restores only old British classics. They did a old Jag yesterday. Showed rebuilding of wood dash and bits. Very interesting.

I don’t find W/D to be that bad...just skip the 5 mins at the end where they’re driving the car and go straight to the selling of (we record it).

EFH,

Name of the UK show please.

thanks,

Definitely some fluff, but so neat when Ant rebuilds a turbo or makes an exhaust system. I loved the Lotus episode! Best to DVR and just skip parts you don't like. You can't exactly replace Edd, but Ant is really good and I'm glad the show continued. Discovery owns the show and I think they control content, etc. George

No complaints about Ant. It is the extended banter, limited actual mechanical work, rehash of what we just saw after a commercial break and the endless car ride near the end that ruin the show for me. Yes, I record it and fast forward but how does that make it a good show?

The C5 Z06 Corvette episode was amazing. I recently acquired my dad's 98 C5, and the show explained and showed many parts of the car I have never seen. You do have to put it up in the air to do anything including changing the oil. This requires low angle ramps or pucks to use with jacks, etc. Except for a few minutes of fluff at the beginning and end, it was all technical. Fantastic show! George
