Default I believe the show “wheeler dealers” will have a go with a 996

Does anyone know when it airs or maybe it has?
I have have had a few busy weeks and miss a lot of shows I would like to see.
I wonder if the IMSB will come up....

The description that my cable company uses says the 2000 Porsche 996 is first.

Car enthusiast Mike Brewer and internationally renowned car designer Ant Anstead work together to give new life to run-down, classic automobiles in order to resell at a profit.
Are they getting their 996 for free?

Ha ha! I think I remember from the description I saw that the car they get has an oil leak. As much as I love this show, it is only an hour. They typically look at one issue related to the individual car, fix that, do some cosmetic fixes, then off it goes. So, I'm guessing they fix the RMS and don't even mention the IMS. They'll probably take the tranny off and totally ignore an oily bearing.

Still looking forward to it!

I love the show.....but I think we will all say "they didn't do this, they didn't do that".....when they do a car that I know a lot about, it's not nearly as fun as when you know nothing about the car.

I always liked the part that the labor is calculated in hours, but no monetary amount goes into their cost of the the upgrades/repairs.

Which is the opposite of most youtube "fixup" shows. They'll only include the parts in the cost, not including the weeks and weeks of hours they put into doing all the work.

It's on the Motor Trend channel for sure. Not sure if it comes on others.
