NiX Posted 18May, 2013 Report Share Posted 18May, 2013 Came across a good show last night on Foxtel, Wheeler Dealers Plot: English car trader starts with US$3K, buys a car (sometimes does a little work on it) & flogs it for a profit, slowly trading his way up to a super car. Episodes 1&2 have been shown, started in India on to the UK where he bought a few UK built cars, did a few minor changes & sold em for a tidy profit. He purchased a Chevy for US$9600, on his way to sell it in Sweden at the end of last nights episode. If your got foxtel well worth a look. Discovery Turbo Max (634) Fridays at 9.30pm N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 18May, 2013 Report Share Posted 18May, 2013 I'm over everyone whinging about the US dollar component! I may have seen the whole series online, and it's all pretty awesome - I think what he ended up with was a bit of a good deal. Still like the real wheeler dealers better though, Edd brings a lot to the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasserkuhl Posted 19May, 2013 Report Share Posted 19May, 2013 Watched all 6 episodes. I miss Edd China. Still, better viewing than the Block I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vas Posted 19May, 2013 Report Share Posted 19May, 2013 Its a good fun show. Another good one and my favourite is Chasing Cars with lil Wayne Carini. Worth a look if you have fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasserkuhl Posted 20May, 2013 Report Share Posted 20May, 2013 Chasing Classic Cars is a good show and, it also does demonstrate how much wonga some people have. The Auction scene is crazy...... Wheeler Dealers is still my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 20May, 2013 Report Share Posted 20May, 2013 CCC always leaves me a little disappointed, the reality of actual profit made(or not) over profit expected I guess. You never know exactly how much they've put into these - add up hours on the highway , phone , net , outsourcing jobs etc etc. But it's good to see some barn finds in the flesh. WD is a classic , if just for the cheesy banter between MB and Ed. And for the guy who talked about checking for mayonnaise when assessing the air cooled targa. What a dill! The new WD is pretty good entertainment and I'm sure the Brewing formula will appeal to 'mericans on cable. Power to the old Julius Caesar!

LeeM Posted 23May, 2013 Report Share Posted 23May, 2013 Saw Chasing Classic cars episode yesterday where he 'finds' a quad cam 356. The rarest of the rare apparently Going by Hagertys price guide, a good one is worth $336k! I havent seen the Wheeler Dealers trading up, yet I can't see it being much cop without Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vas Posted 23May, 2013 Report Share Posted 23May, 2013 + 1 Lee. The early 356s are going for big bucks in the US. What a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
