Oh wow, that's fantastic. I'm jealous as that's my favorite show (yes, we get it in Taiwan!)

Of course, next question is, did you manage to get the forum mentioned? ? :-D

Well they came to me via the FMC Ben, but as Bob & I are members of both, and Andy is FF only, there's no reason why I can't ask - no idea what they were planning - I'm useless really, didn't think about mentions for anyone!

I'll email or text the dep producer about it. The prog isn't finished yet as it's just been offroaded & the sale bit isn't done.

Phone piccies below:

That's fantastic, thanks!

So did you get to meet Edd?

I was a bit naive and thought Edd would be in his workshop & Mike would be floating around imparting words of wisdom - nothing like what I assumed! Anyway the answer is no, not Edd. We met Mike, and have chatted to all the crew, mechanics, and producers - all very nice. I might even have picked up some work, which is a most unexpected bonus!!

Well done Gavin, the Sisley is looking impeccable as always

Thanks Cameron - it was in a right state and took me days to clean. It did look good when I'd finished, but the black bits took 4 hours!!

They then chucked it through mud and a huge puddle almost immediately!! It was still looking good actually after the off-roading - it doesn't now though as next door are building an extension & I currently have a grey Sisley from the dust!

Aww, so you couldn't get a signed pair of his famous orange glove then, haha.

Well it's still great, well done

And yes, that Panda really does look fantastic too

No, but we did see some of his orange gloves!

Thanks - when it's properly clean that colour hides a multitude of sins. Worth the effort though (isn't usually!). Apparently the colour worked perfectly on camera & the producer was saying how good the footage off-road was - he doesn't normally say anything like that I understand, so he was happy.

The wheeler dealers panda is now on eBay. Tempted to have a cheeky bid...

Well I gave it a go...

How does that work then? Does it mean the reserve is over £1000?

I`m not sold on the all round stone chip look...

I wish they had done it in trad colours.

The base car went for £1.8 iirc, and looked far more better compared to current look.

I'm bulding my own 4x4 green offroader but those orange bits...

looked 10 times better before wheeler dealers "spa" treatment. This will not become my favourte episode of WD.

See if you can zoom in on the paint finish - it's very spiky! If any of you buy it, I suggest NOT buying a fleecy lined car cover - it will leave the car looking like a shredded sheep (without the blood)! Good for ripping the side of any car getting too close in a car park though!

Yes, reserve over £1000.

Here it is and how it looked before.

I think it looks great. I hope the show goes down well and raises the profile for cheap fun in 4x4 Pandas.
The more of us the better.

Such a shame, was a nice looking car and I loved those stickers!
Sold for £1331
