    I really loved Ed’s reaction when Brewer showed up with this pile of rust. And, as usual the Tall Man uses his skill to transform the car into a classic. Ed China was the reason everyone watched Wheeler Dealers, with Ed gone, I no longer watched the show.

      Oh yes , he was always the star of the show , not Mike Brewer . And what did Mike call him when he decided to call it a day , " A Traitor " , not thank you for all your efforts , or I respect your decision , Mike Brewer actually called Ed China a Traitor , nasty , nasty , nasty .

      Always liked Edd but all the mechanics on WD have their strengths and weaknesses so the sheep that decry everything after Edd are just complete tossers and should just give it a rest.

      My '63 Austin Mini was white and just one year old. I loved how you could sling that thing around bends. I eventually fitted Mintex rally brake linings to cure the severe brake fade and ultimately got a competition licence, joined a motor sport club and took it sprinting,anywhere from Curborough to Silverstone club circuit. I never had any success but, boy, did I have fun?! Sadly, the dreaded ferrous beetle took hold in 1972 and I donated her to my local sec. school to use as a teaching aid in vehicle studies classes.

    "Ant" is a great mechanic also but Ed explained things more clearly and concentrated on explaining what was particularly important.
    Mike Brewer. is an annoying narcissist and he could not get along with Ed. So he was eliminated for Ant who now seem to be fed up with Mike also
    IMO, Ed should be given his own show.. Who needs a narcissist like Mike anyway? .

    MIke Brewer reminds me of the typical car dealer on the street corner who buys a Fiesta for £300, cleans it and does a bit of paint and sells it for £1200. Using key phrases such as "interior in good condition with no rips or tears", "lovely example", "lady owner", "service on purchase", Best avoided generally and go and buy private. The "cockney boy" attitude is just too cringe as well.
