Ed China leaving Wheeler dealers :(

Wheeler Dealers started off good, but became less and less credible. Much prefer Car SOS, For The Love of Cars etc.

For what it's worth, Edd was the only part of the show worth watching watching. Mike Brewer is terrible.
 
Other than Mike Brewer telling people to hold out their hands, it was basically the Ed China show. :confused::confused:
Great Example on how to Americanise and ruin something to make it more entertaining.:mad:
Will be a great loss.
 
Was always an odd programme really, especially the way they'd play up making a grand on a car whilst conveniently neglecting the fact it took dozens and dozens of man hours to do, so by the time Ed would have got his cut, he's probably making about £1 an hour on the deal. That and the fact Mike Brewer is a plank. OLD OUT YER AND!
 
Love how he speaks with the same cadence in his goodbye video. The only man to make "just pop out the engine and get going" sound like making a cup of tea :D

I'll admit I've got the show on series link purely because it's good to blast through the guff and watch the workshop bits in admiration for his skill. The fact that the US production company wanted to water that bit down speaks volume for their target audience and will no doubt kill the show.

Such a shame, but fair play to him for putting his foot down!

Brewer: I JUST BOUGHT MESELF.... A CRACKIN LIL MK2 GOLF
Seller: WTF :confused:

Me too, really learnt a lot from him.

When the budget got bigger, the show just went into decline and seemed less realistic, repair progress on the cars just magically happened without allowing Edd to go into the details. Its a shame hes going but its good to see he stands by his principles, money really isn't everything!

I second this. ED has grease monkey gloves on his shop too! Bright orange, might get me some :D
 
Yes, will miss Ed as he was the backbone of the show. It was very, "man in shed", but the repair was what made it interesting. I love the "before and after", and how Ed goes from one to the other. Mike was always annoying, and he always struck me as being Ed's sidekick because of how little he actually did.

It's no surprise to see a new company come in, change everything around, and then end up killing the reasons they bought the show in the first place. Good luck to Mr. China, thirteen years is a long time, and I'm sure he's ready to move on to things where he's more appreciated.
