Deals on Wheels

[L14MNP]

Anyone remember the one with the Scottish knob selling a poverty spec 3dr?
He showcased his pride and joy also, a white GTE with 3 spokes (TSW Phoenix?) and purple/black tiger stripes lol
I know this was the 90's but that looked ****e. Black indicators/rear ligths too I think.
He opened a Max Power, had a green euro ERST on the front, I remember it, and showed Walshys saying he wanted a feature for his GTE too lol

The funny thing was, the poverty 3dr was up for 1300 quid and sold for 1150, obviously it was mint. If it wasn't for the **** clothes and hair it could have been a 2008 transaction lol

[vaughanmc]

lol Aye I remember that one - Not done that far from me either

I loved it when he done the 0-60 thing lol

[vaughanmc]

There was also a later Deals on Wheels made where Mike Brewer had a 'stolen' Mk2 Nova SR up Forsale :)

[L14MNP]

Not sure I've seen the 'stolen' one mate :) and here's me thinking I had seen them all! I always check when they are on though to see which ones. Most are hillarious.
The battle of the trouser heights between Mike and Rich is more entertaining than some of the cars lol
I would have loved the mk1 SR they had in the garage when they were explaining what to look out for. Was up for 1500 pounds IIRC.

[vaughanmc]

No idea they said it had been in an accident though ?

Did you see the one with the red Mk1 Astra GTE, done in Scotland also ?

That was done a few months before I went to a Scottish Vauxhall Performance Car Club Meet at Lex-Vauxhall in Edinburgh because it was on display outside the showroom :)

[L14MNP]

Yeah I seem to remember the Astra mate. Dude you have been everywhere given your age! :thumb:

[vaughanmc]

lol Tell me about it

When I think about it I have been everywhere really

From NI to Santa Pod, and places in between :)

[Andy]

Christ vaughan how do you remember them? you would have been barely out of nappies?! lol I used to watch that every week

Yeah I remeber that, breeze blue mk2 iirc, brewer was showing you hot to 'spot the lemon' lol Mike brewer is the only lemon!

I think they did something dodgy like leaving broken glass in the door pockets and photocopied the V5 to show you how easy it is to get mugged..

[vaughanmc]

lol Aye I can't really remember the story but I remember it has black steel wheels and I cracked up at my dad because it didn't have the 3 spoke's fitted

I wouldn't have been into a double-figure age when they were being showed lol But I seen them

[Lee]

That show was always good for a laugh :)

My favorite was where Mike bought a white MK4 escort to flog on and make a profit. The guy came to test drive it and he basically ripped Mike to bits on it lol Think he made a loss in the end!

Does anyone know why a dodgy gear linkage makes white smoke pour out of the back of a 205 yet? A seriously dodgy diagnosis from Ed on wheeler dealers lol

WTF??? Even my limited knowledge would flag this up as an unlikely cause of the problem.

Im pretty convinced the head gasket went big style but they kept it quiet. But blaming it on a sloppy linkage was just laughable lol

[vaughanmc]

Wheeler Dealers is an awsome show as well - Yet to see a Nova on there though...

[L14MNP]

Wheeler Dealers is bodge tastic :D
I am thinking of the mk1 mr2 and mk1 mini lol

'This Nova we've bought is a bit vague and sloppy. But once Ed has worked his magic on it, Im sure it will still be vague and sloppy' lol

[vaughanmc]

lol I did like the one about the Mk1 Golf GTi too

[boyle_46]

hmm i seen the 205 gti one , he got the gear knob from a breakers yard iirc few years ago i seen it .

[vaughanmc]

I think it was the 205 GTi one that gave me the idea to paint my parcel shelf black lol

[mowgli]

Go to 10.45. Gear linkage my ass lol

I once thought my gear linkage was broken. it ended up that the rhs engine mount had failed.......

I agree with you on something being very wrong with it, but he sold it to a girl so it all worked out fine in the end
