A few of my favorite things... wheeler dealers.

Just a quick note, if you have never watched the T.V. show Wheeler Dealers and you are a car nut (as I am) then you need to check it out.  The easiest way to watch it is on Youtube.com.  Many of the episodes have been uploaded onto Youtube and can be watched in several parts.  The show is a bit 'cheeky' and made in Brittain (hence my cheeky comment).  The two hosts are like night and day although the goofyness of the host "Mike' is definitely rubbing off on the mechanic Ed.  The two blokes (dudes) buy cars and fix them up to sell for a profit.  The show is VERY British and proud of it and thats one of the reasons I love it.  The difference in speech, slang, customs are all very intersting as well as the difference in cars.  Did you know ford made an AWESOME 4 door turbo charged bad ass sedan in the 80's and 90's when they teamed up with the Forumla One engine company Cosworth? I did but that's because I'm more wordly then you dear reader and I had a british friend who told me about such awesome cars that he reffered to as 'Cossie's'.  They also teamed up with Mercedes to produce another great little 4 door sports sedan.  Anyway thats the type of car they feature.  British, Japanese, German, Italian and even U.S. cars are bought, fixed up and sold on.  I'll add more later but you should be clicking on Youtube right now!
