Default Wheeler Dealers TV Show

Has anyone else seen this show?

It is now running old episodes on discovery channel.

But you can watch all the episodes on You Tube. They just buy old cars, work on them a bit and then sell them on. It is a good show. Very calm, no yelling, no racing parachuters or anything stupid. And they do great cars, 924, 928, Cosworth Benz, MGB GT, Lotus Elite, Lancia Delta Integrale modern classic stuff.

I embedded the first part of the 924 episode on my blog,

kevingosselin.blogspot.com

Or just go to you tube and search for wheeler dealers 924. Each episode is an hour dedicated to one car.

Love that show. I watched all the good ones on YouTube a few months ago. Last week I stumbled on the show in HD on TV. My good luck, it was the 924 episode, which I now have DVR-ed.

Kevin, looks like an interesting blog you have. I'll link you from mine.

I found the photo collection of Flickr from the library of congress and there are thousands of pictures of euro models of every madel Porsche from abandoned wrecks to full race at speed from the era they were produced.

Just curious if anyone has seen this. Its a british show I saw on HD Theater. I'm in the process of obtaining all the shows. They had a 924, 944 turbo, 928 and 911 on the show. Its actually pretty good.

I've seen all the Porsche one's other than the 944 one. It is a pretty good show. If you find the 944 one, would you mind sharing?

They do so many things wrong on that 944, but it’s an entertaining bit of television anyway.
