Isn't that episode a re-run?

It showed in the UK and it was available on the internet. I think most members here have probably seen it already. However, I believe it is the first American TV broadcast.

Nope, saw it on direct tv awhile back. I got excited there for a moment thinking they were tackling another 914.

They loved it. If you watch the Silverstone video they actually go on a bit TOO MUCH about it. Sounds like false enthusiasm. Of course, everything about WD sounds a bit false.

Apart from the accent of course...

I saw the red 914 Wheeler Dealers video on YouTube last spring. The red 914 came from the states. I noticed in their preview segment they are showing a lemon yellow European 914. I think it is the same show. My Direct TV guide said the upcoming show was first aired in April of this year.

Here is sneak peek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sOit3djISE

LOL... yes, there is that. I love the show actually. I just think the "Sales" guy is a bit animated (enter stage left at full clip bubbling over about... well, anything). I want what he's having.

Hi,
Ecept when Ed explains how he troubleshot/repaired the overheating issue. Default mode of failure keeps you from running hot, something else was going on.

The new season preview featuring that lemon yellow 914 is what prompted me to slap a season pass on it with the TiVo. Fun fluff when you've got time to kill, and better than random channel surfing through Comcast...

Must find friend who has said "velocity" channel you speak of! Never heard of this show but it looks interesting... Part of me doesn't mind more wide spread appreciation of the 914... though the other part wishes it would stay under the radar entirely so we can continue to amass them at reasonable prices!!!

I love that teaser for the new season. The last couple seconds of it feature Ed driving the red 914 they restored, Mike in the passenger seat.

L 13 M ??? Yellow.....

everyone should do a shot every time mike says "FANTASTIC!!!". 2 shots when he gets lowballed and says "...like i've been kicked in the gut".

They talk funnier than the guys on Top Gear!

Posted by: veltror Oct 5 2012, 05:31 PM

funny how? The accent is the Queens English

Posted by: SLITS Oct 5 2012, 05:34 PM

And here I thought that was what the Revolution was all about .... being able to understand the English language by converting it to Amerikan!

Posted by: Eric_Shea Oct 5 2012, 05:53 PM

Brilliant!

and I thought it was about an item used in a hot infusion of leaves...
