Most of his cars fit into that category. They do a lot of work to the cars that never gets broadcast.

Cam, what were you doing in Dubai?

And they never factor in Ed's (the mechanic) labor when determine their profit. What's up with that?

I spent 9 years of my life helping build The Palm Jumeirah (www.thepalm.ae), The World Islands Project (www.theworld.ae) and Saadiyat Island (www.saadiyat.ae).

I was part of the logistics team for The Palm and Logistics Manager - The World (what a job title hey?)...

Saadiyat Island is where TDIC is building The Louvre Abu Dhabi, The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi amongst other cool tourist destinations.

I met my wife in Dubai (she's a fellow Canuck), married her and we had our kids there too. The UAE holds a special place in my heart.

The filming was at the Dubai Autodrome and we knew Discovery Channel was coming to film their "Trading Up" series so a bunch of us Porsche fans went down. Mike instant gravitated to my 993 C4S and then the producers asked if we'd be keen to feature on the show so that's how it all unravelled.

I'll set the recorder in case I forget to watch.

Notice they said nothing about the rust in the windshield frame? Also wasn't included in their repair costs?

I was also expecting something about the valve and chain covers.

I might catch Corvette one before that too!
Yes, I would have walked away...

Deepee, thanks for posting. Watched that all the way through. Loved it. Shame that people actually treat that car that way. There was some good advice on what to do and look at. Now I am out to look mine over again. Well at least in the morning.

Thanks again.

Agreed - huge thanks for posting, Deepee. Love that show.

I wonder how they diagnosed that Varioram issue. Does anyone think they really felt something odd under throttle then start taking the top off the engine looking for issues? I guess it's possible, just seems a little hard to believe.

You can feel it. I always thought there was something wrong with mine when I bought the car due to a real flat spot/hesitation in the rev range. Sure enough when I took mine apart a rubber seal on one of the intake tubes had fallen off, jamming itself into the intake pipe and preventing it from working properly.

I love how Mike slams the rear deck lid down and the spoiler bounces.

does the streetfire video still work for anyone?
