Are you talking about Wheeler Dealers on HD Theater.? Enlgish blokes buying fun old cars and fixing them up. Recenlty an Alfa Integralara or something like that.

Not sure... What's the difference?

No, he is thinking of the show where they buy old cars that really aren't collectibles, but fix them up cheaply and resell them. It's a cool show, bu the name escapes me. - AB

I think we are talking about the same thing. They set a budget of 3000 quid and try stay in that. I sounded in the know by saying quid!

wheeler deeler is a british show. so youd probably remember if you heard a bunch of british slang and stuff.

Yes it is Wheeler Dealers. They call the cars modern classics. I have not seen any new episodes in some time. They also have a show called Autotrader which is nearly unwatchable.

Yeah the quid thing definitely is right. I was thinking of the tool that buys high end cars, has them made pristine and sells them at auction. He is a prick, but does well at his business

Wheeler Dealers is great. They bought a C4 one time and did some inexpensive and impressive fixes to it and sold it for a really nice profit. - AB
