Wheeler Dealers

Wheeler Dealers It's cracking good

My new most favorite show on the telly is Wheeler Dealers.  It's a cracking good show from Britain, about buying semi-junker classic cars at a good price (first season about 300-400 Quid) and refurbishing for less than 1000, total.  The real prize in the series, for me, is Edd, the mechanic.  Edd takes the hand-off from Mike (who finds and sells) and does all  repairs.  What's unique is his down to earth approach, where every trivial job is performed in detail.  As a result, I finish each show with a semi-burning desire to go outside and work on my own junker.  You will learn stuff.  The patois is marvelous ("dodgy American dashboards,"  "pattern parts (third party," "bonnet (hood).").  Discovery Channel begins with season one, but the series is in it's seventh year across the pond, so lots more to come.
