Thanks for this, I went and dug it out.

A little bit contrived at times, but worth watching.

Properly messed up my Monday though.

Well, bound to be contrived, but watchable.

Indeed. I always find the initial "hello, you must be xxxx, I'm Mike" a bit cringe-worthy.

But as you say, watchable and worth watching.

And the MKII Escort episode was great. Especially the ending.

It was, but I would have loved it to be a standard car....I shared a house with colleague as a 21 year old, he was, wait for it....28 and could afford the insurance on an Escort Harrier.......worth a fortune now

Well thank you, that properly messed up my Monday. 8 Episodes and I binge watched. Episode 8 is a bit unusual, but still worth the effort.

I started off quite enjoying the show and then it grew on me even more. Very watchable and, for me at least, fresher and more watchable than their normal shows. Never thought I'd see Mike Brewer cry.

And I prefer Marc Priestley to either Edd China or Ant Anstead, he comes across as more credible somehow. Certainly I found him more relatable.

Since Ant Anstead did his own show without Mike, other than a starring appearance in one episode, I wonder what this means for future episodes of the normal WD episodes.

The more shows the merrier as far as I'm concerned, and preferably not the US ones.

And did you know about dynamic pricing? I didn't.

Also. and sorry for multiple posts, at one point Marc/Elvis was examining a newish Mercedes and pointed out how a dinged rim was indicative of the general care that had been taken with the vehicle and may well be an indicator of further potential damage.

Rang a bell, somehow.

I didn't really like any of the cars; I'd have the Bentley that passed through, and perhaps the TVR that was the end of one chain, but there wasn't much that really caught my fancy.

But it was obvious how they mattered to some people, which was nice.

Especially the guy who got the Escort and the teacher who got the Golf. Oh, and also the farmer who got the DeLorean.
