Sweet! I can wait to see those driving shots of the Prestegious Car. :)

[DeLorean00]

Yay! I cannot wait to see the driving shots we filmed with 3045! That was a fun day.

I was on the Wheeler Dealers website today and saw a few outtakes from the DeLorean episode. Check out the video titled "Bloopers"

God damn those guys look horrible! What happened to them? Looks like the main guy gained 40 lbs and Ed looks strung out.

Very cool! Thank you for the post Jammer. Just waiting for the driving shots of the prestegious DeLorean. :)

[Chris Burns]

Wheeler Dealers was showing on Discovery HD. Now Discovery HD has changed to Velocity and they are not airing Wheeler Dealers anymore!:shock: When the show airs next week, could someone please TiVo it or post it on You-Tube?

[nofear365]

I'll try to find it and upload it for you guys...

[Rhsxo]

You may want to check out www.street fire.net as they normally have episodes uploaded fairly soon ad free the show airs.

[Rhsxo]

Just a reminder to everyone, the Wheeler Dealers episode featuring the DeLorean will air later tonight (in the UK for sure). Don't miss the world wide television debut of 3045!

[nofear365]

For the life of me I can't find this episode ANYWHERE. In time I guess...

[Rhsxo]

Previews of the episode are now avaiable on the Wheeler Dealers website. You can now see VIN 3045 in action on the driving scenes of the Prestegious Car portion. DeLorean00 did all the up close shots where as I did all the driving by scenes.

[Chris Burns]

The previews look good!:thumbup: I like it when Mike is driving the car and when Ed China is replacing the transmission seal. Cant wait to see the whole episode!!

[tyb323]

I like it when Mike is driving the car and when Ed China is replacing the transmission seal.

Why would he replace such an adorable seal? http://selvavidasinfronteras.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/canada-seal-hunt-007.jpg

(I'm bored, ok?)

[Chris4099]

My manager lives in the UK and just saw the episode last night. He said it was pretty good. Hopefully somebody will post a torrent of it so we can check it out over here!

[opethmike]

I couldn't help but laugh when Mike Brewer called DeLoreans difficult to work on.

Any job is difficult when you don't know what you're doing.

[opethmike]

Any job is difficult when you don't know what you're doing.

It should be pretty obvious that wasn't my point.

[tgraham]

I just downloaded it and watched the first segment... Mike was pretty excited about it (perhaps even more so than usual) and had nothing but positive things to say. I'll have to save the rest of it for the flight to Houston.

Here's a torrent that worked fairly well for me. It's in some funky mkv format, though:

That was quite an entertaining episode.

[Bruce Johnson]

GREAT! Thanks for posting.

[Manxmann]

This is me lurking behind Mike and Ed.

[Chris 16409]

If you watch when Ed was disconnecting the CV Axels, he did a no-no. Instead of unbolting them from the hub side as well, he just let them hang.

[DMC5180]

Well I wouldn't get to knit picky with the small stuff. The whole show was great. Very entertaining and NO disparaging remarks that heard. In the first Clip I did here Mike say the Original Delorean Motor Company was in business 9 years. That's a bit of a stretch. Even if you include all the development years back in the Mid- 70's to thru 82. He implied the car was in production 9 years.

Overall it was a great show. I was surprised that they didn't Dress things up a bit more in engine compartment. The whole thing was more like a watching an episode of "Flip that Car". Of course that is kind of the premise of the show. Don't do anything more than needed to make it presentable. I will say that £20.500 seems high for that car. but then I have know Idea what the UK/EURO market is for Deloreans. When you consider Shipping and Import duties, if there are any. That could be the typical going rate over there.

[robvanderveer]

Prices *are* higher here in the EU/UK. But import, shipping and taxes takes away about 90% of that difference. That is why Mike and Edd decided to import from the US to be able to make a profit.

[DCUK Martin]

There was a lot going on behind the scenes which isn't clear - for example Chris N's work happened *after* the sale and was a condition of it.

Only the very best original cars go for above £20k. In my experience, buying one in that needs little work makes for a smaller profit margin due to the tax. The cheaper it comes in, the cheaper the tax bill.

Or to put it another way, I try to add as much value as possible once it's here.

[Ozzie]

I really enjoyed that episode, I think that it did a lot to put a very positive spin on our cars.

The thing that I noted though, was that obviously the A/C wasn't working because he was driving w/o it while in the US with the windows down, and mentioning how hot it got inside. Was the A/C system not working, or was it just never mentioned?

Also, am curious if the seller ever wars or is on this forum?

[A Van]

Some of Chris N work was done before the sale, if you look at part where it's on the carousel you can see a small red sticker on the lower rear quarter panel, this concealed a dent which took an awful long time to repair, as it had been welded badly.
Chris did all he could before the filming of the sale then did the rest.
The a/c didn't work as it has a split hose, Paul Brackley changed it and charged the system, this then revealed compressor bearings shot, so it got a new compressor.

The rear seal was also changed after the sale was filmed at Eurotec.

They had to work on the DeLorean solid to get it to Eurotec, and it was only really confirmed in the final couple of days before that they were definitely coming

[A Van]

Btw the window motors were delivered to me by Josh Haldeman at Eurofest

[DMC5180]

It's really neat to here the back stories and how Editing made it look so seam less. Yes is interesting that the NON working A/C was not brought up in the episode. None the less a very nice show to see for once. I can see how this episode would appeal to the UK/EU heritage. Unfortunately here in the States, GearHead shows is all about bolting on Flashiness and HP rather than restoration type work. Or should I say SELLING Aftermarket parts from Show Sponsors. Which is why you'll never see a Real Delorean on one of those shows.

[A Van]

It had a new windscreen fitted in the US but when the car arrived it had delaminated, so had a new screen fitted by Chris N and a set of outer door seals

[Chris Burns]

The episode will air on Velocity Channel Wednesday night at 9:00 P.M.

[dvonk]

awesome, i had never heard of the Velocity channel until just now... strangely enough my girlfriend is watching a nature show on Velocity right now...

and nice, there was an ad for the DeLorean episode while i was typing this. :lol:

[dvonk]

...i had never heard of the Velocity channel until just now...

apparently since october 4th of 2011, "Velocity" is just the new name for "Discovery HD Theater."

[crazycro]

Very Entertaining episode! Thanks to all who filled in the editing gaps and the left out material!! 8)



......and I agree Mike gained a lot of weight and Ed looks burnt out!

[DMCVegas]

Already downloaded and watched the episodes, but I'll record it an watch it again with the wife. That'll give her somewhat of a idea of some of the things I'll be doing to my own car.

I've loved this show since I first caught it on HD Theater! I learned allot about some odd cars, as well as great tips and tricks. The two most important being how to fiberglass the little wings on the louvers, and that Land Rovers aren't as bad as they seem.

I love Edd China, can't stand Mike Brewer. Regardless, I agree - the fiberglass wing tip trick was really cool to see!

[whocruiser]

Velocity Channel is doing a Wheeler Dealers marathon today, and the Delorean episode is due up at 3pm Eastern time for anyone interested.
