and Ant Anstead replaced..... I didn’t mind him.... or Edd China....

I am unaware of the viewing figures on the series but lost me a while back, very rarely could you see a profit after 'man hours' had been taken into the equation, enjoyed the early ones but not so much now

Yeah, I’ve watched them all. Some good, some bad.

I’m not sure whether Mike annoys me or not now 🤣 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I've always enjoyed watching Wheeler Dealers, much better than some of the US dross that comes out. I watch a lot of the repeats as you can always catch some of the 'things' they have to fix, but never mention. Most notable was when they did the L322 Range Rover, the black and blue one that they resprayed and facelifted. Spotted that one of the switches on the centre console (can't quite remember if it was the Hi-Lo Range or HDC switch) was broken, but never got mentioned and was magically fixed by the end of the show!!
Agree that the profit margins are totally defeated by the omission of 'Man Hours' labour costs, but as they have always said 'a dealer/garage would charge...'.
Glad to see they are coming back over the pond though, think they were running a bit short of car restoration ideas in the States.

One of those programs that I can’t stand, but do watch when it’s on and nothing else is there.

I find Mike the most annoying fat sweaty guy on TV. But respect, he seems to be enjoying himself and I can’t argue with that.

He must have made a fortune. And he’s also got his own 2nd hand car dealership. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Nah he hasn't made a fortune at all. Third rate tv channels don't pay big money. His net worth is only about $1.5M which is nothing considering it is USD and how long he has been on TV. Having a detached house in the (outer) metropolitan in the UK area will easily bypass his 'fortune'.

Maybe the timing of Ant coming out of the show is because his marriage has ended.....2 years and she’s binned him.

I might dip in and take a look at series 17 but not holding out much hope. It lost it for me when it went stateside, there are already plenty of US based car shows so plenty of choice. WD being UK based was what made it different, when Velocity took over they killed it. Would be good to see Edd back but he won't rejoin WD and who can blame him. 2011 TDV8 Vogue SE
