Is he, dare I say, a traitor?

Fill me in. I know he left wheeler dealers because they were cutting his screen time?

He claims they wanted him to cut corners.

>>17842153
No. He left Wheeler Dealers because an American company took it over and Americans can't make shows for shit. He did do some ads for a WD40 clone product on Youtube but I don't think that's what OP is mad about.

>>17842198
l wouldn't give a rat's ass about Mike if someone strapped me to a chair. So, I would not say he is a traitor.

>>17842209
Well, the company just took what wheeler dealer was(fixing the car) and just straight up cut his time down to a bare minimum.

>>17842219
Yeah, there was no more real in-depth car fixing going on. Just bullshit for people with short attention spans. Typical American production.

Is buying a beat-up shitbox(es) and did a cheap, bandaid-tier fixes on them really a profitable venture?

Saw some of the episodes and really I could do like 90 percent of what he did in the show

>>17842301
Well, the whole point of the show was to show what could be easily done with a car. Fixing it up quick and then selling it.

>>17842301

Fuck no!

>>17842301
If you could be prolific with it and and satisfied with low profit margin, then yes it could be a good business

I did similar stuff back during my high school days;bought old laptops from thrift stores, did some basic fix/troubleshooting and either sell them to family/friends or ebay

>>17842267
which is ironic, because the reason it became popular in the US was because it was better than everything else on velocity

>>17842068
No, he's a man of principles. It seems that Brewer is a cunt which probably wouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone.

>>17842317
Eat shit

>>17842301
Like a lot of other things (salvaging gold from electronics for example) not on a small scale one man operation, no.

>>17842301
You could see they were not even breaking even in the show.
A few hundred pound "profit" after working for about a week isn't profit at all. 40 hours of work is about 1000-2000 pounds.

>>17842666
The only velocity is good for, is for background noise. Its literally unwatchable beyond that.

Not to mention all the insane tools and pristine garage he had.

>This would normally cost about £1000 in labour at your local garage, but luckily I have this handy spyro-socket-clamp sander that can repurpose this old one and make it look good as new.
