Just watched it as I've recorded the whole series. You've got to take your hat off to Edd he did an outstanding job on that Porsche 914, so much so that the owner bought it back for £4250 more than he let them have it for!

I love wheeler dealers, one of my favourite programs.

I think the guy was quite shrewd, I doubt he could have got the work done for the money.

Edd certainly made a great job, altho it looked pretty sound before he started

I don't know how Edd keeps himself so clean when working.

For those of us without a TV:

That was really great to watch, thank you for posting the link.

I quite fancy a 914 now! Love the aircooled engine. VW Beetles have a similar thermostat control for the cooling, t'was very interesting :)

Don't...I actually can't stand that bloke, he treats the cars so badly. Sometimes, you think he may as well get a sledge hammer out to prove how strong the body work is or maybe rev the engine till it blows up to prove a point as well!

I watch it to learn about the cars, and to see Edd make ridiculous jobs look easily, although he says "obviously" too often.

As for that excuse for a presenter, he's exactly the sort of person I wouldn't deal with. I particularly cringe with the way he slaps people's hands and vigorously shakes them to bits.
