I watched whatever program he was in before a few times and this is much better.
No eeejit whacking other people's cars with his ringed hand and sitting on the front of them with jean studs. Made me want to kick his legs away. And then waffling on about making a "profit". Ignoring the labour and transport costs...a bit like mystic baldric.
Doin valve clearances? Use dappers valve shim exchange program and the job will be carroty - Free (other than you postin me yer shims) for sporting members.
Haha, he's the wideboy version ! he's got the same initials as Mystic Baldric....Mike Brewer. Apparently he got death threats for spitting up with Ed.  I like Ed China, he's a true gent and very knowledeable when it comes to design and mechanicals, and he's a bit bonkers now and then. Â
That's the one. Always dragging his mittens over a car or slamming the doors or whacking the bonnet down...no finesse or care.
I can't say I felt the need to kill him but he was awfully annoying.

:good: +1 on Mike Brewer. There's also that muppet Tim Shaw on Car SOS :rant:Â . He too works with a knowledgeable and personable spanner man - Fuzz Townshend. Obviously some TV executive came up with the format of teaming up a decent mechanic with a t*sser and every car restoration show since has followed the formula.Â
I've been watching the Ed China videos, much more my kind of thing :munching_out:Â .
Your far to nice Chris, Tim Shaw is a gobshite, a complete and utter knob who i would love to punch in the kipper, Mike Brewer comes a very close 2nd but Ed and Fuzz are who i tune in to watch, not watched any Ed China videos, he out on his own now then..Â

liked eds new show no cuts to mysteriously completed parts and in episode 1 he like most of us had to buy a new part after all attempts to remove some bolts failed

Yes.

ie more mechanicals less bullshit
Was he trying to remove the disc bolts on a TDM ? I agree with you, less bs and more mechanicals. :good:
I usually find Mike Brewer annoying, but take a look at the video he did in Afghanistan a few years back. He went out on a Medical Emergency Response Team Chinook flight, came under fire, and the pilot got hit. You can see the moment it all goes from being fun tagging along on a flight to him realising they could all be in trouble.
1992 Mk1, 76k miles, Hagon springs, MTC exhaust, 4½ gears Gone now
This is much more like my tinkering.....spray some stuff with monkey pith..do a few bits...get distracted....need a part...do summat else for a few Mo's...wonder where the day has gone.

That was actually pretty close to how you pronounce the 'Umlaut' at the beginning of the name. But as we speak English here, mostly, and we got no 'Umlaute', yes that is what the plural is, we are allowed to say it any way we like. Class!
How cool. I have been saying it wrong all these years. Êâ¿Ê
Umlaut and chips is one of me faves.
While watching the last episode I did wonder why he had all those posh high end tools ...and then. a Teng torque wrench!! Noubt wrong with them for occasional use but not really great for professional/regular use.
