I watched the "new" episode last night--blue E-Type. Usual hijinks, same appeal. Mike has gained some weight, as well.

Seems like a very current season--as if they skipped about 4 or 5 seasons and went to this one.

Either way, I'm glad it's back.

It will be interesting to see when they do the show IN the US and with a muscle car.

(I should not be surprised to see other GRM'ers like this show, too- cheeze and all)

((yes, I know cheese, above is spelled as intended))

I love Wheeler Dealers. It fills my head with bad ideas.

The new episode is still sitting on my DVR, but I did see that they did an E-type. Certainly moving up in the world from their usual crapcans.

They did a (Ferrari) Dino 308GT4 in a season that didn't get aired. It's up on youtube.

They've come a long way from that Capri, though.

I agree w/ alfadriver--seeing them Stateside is going to be pretty funny. Especially with an old Charger.

Any clue how many seasons "Velocity" ( ) skipped to get to this season??? I've purposely avoided watching them on youtube because I want to see them on a big screen.

The 308GT4 was the only one I caved in on.

Just plug your computer into your TV. The Youtube links were put up in April of this year.

The Cheese in WD is actually watchable compared to the blatant product placements and forced drama in US car shows.

This is the start of the 7th season. The one they do in the US is the 8th. They skipped seasons 4-6.

I watched the Porsche 924 rerun after the jag. Some of it gave made me remember why I sold my 944.

That's one of my favorites and gives me very bad ideas. I've watched it a couple of times on Youtube.

Should I just go ahead and watch it on youtube or is it a recent one that'll pop up on Velocity???
