Definitely a shame that Edd's leaving, he was the best part of the show. Sometimes Mike Brewer could be a bit condescending and his 'old aht yer and' mannerisms made for cringeworthy viewing.

Always been a big fan of the show but never a fan of Mike's, I find him most annoying, one of my pet peeves is when he walks into a parts dept or garage and shouts "shop" before even reaching the counter to see if there's anyone there.

Well Edd certainly gave this reluctant spannerman the confidence to give it a go, whereas my car buying skills were never improved by watching Mike Brewer............... ______________________________

I think the animosity between China and Brewer has gone on for a few good years to be honest. I remember staying in the Holiday Inn near Birmingham Airport and China and Brewer was in the same hotel.

Was getting sick of the American stuff and the final nail in the coffin was that hideous fiat panda , the test drive at the end is taking up more and more time and getting a bit annoying I'd rather see Ed fixing stuff than them driving around , as for wheeler dealers trading up don't even start that one ! |

My Clarkson picture wasn't a joke. I think there is a slot for a man like Edd with the Grand Tour boys. Yes it's "those 3" but the essence of "team renegade" really makes me think it'd work...not sure a full on workshop session would work but how about one very special build taking a whole series with a slot each programme..

One reason I won't watch US restoration shows is that they don't show much of the work. There's too much fluff.

Simple,don't take her on the bike. I never take my wife. I don't think she's been on the back of one of my bikes since 1970.

I used to like the 'this is what might be wrong and how to fix it' approach of the early WD programs especially as they tended to concentrate on what many petrol heads would call 'fixer-uppers'. They definitely made the wrong decision when they went over the pond as they now have vehicles on that not many over here can relate to. Didnt Mike and Edd have a pre-WD program where Mike tried to find a second hand car for punters and Edd showed private sellers how to spruce up their cars that they couldn't sell. I remember him showing a bloke that cleaning the mud, dog hairs and rubbish out of his s1 Disco and giving it a wash made it more likely someone would but it.... QUID FACIUM TIBI
