New series has Ant Nstead twirling the spanners instead of Edd China. First episode was this week. Escort Cosworth.

Missed it, was looking forward to seeing if it was any good without Ed. Have to say his input was always better than Mikes. Have to find it on catch up.
Looked like the same format as before to me.
Although I will never accept that white alloys look good on any car, other than possibly an early white Quattro.
I have always thought if Brewer was trying to buy something off me he would be told to do one sharpish, as for China yes he's a decent mechanic & explains stuff quite well but some of the things he has done on the show make me cringe
If it ain't broke don't fix it. 
The original series was great where Brewer found a car and delivered it to Ed China, then fecked off and found a new ashtray or sommat and came back at the end. Brewer was OK in very small doses. I cannot speak for all the actions of Ed but he had a lot of knowledge and was amusing and educational to watch. What is Ed doing now?

It is 'Edd' not 'Ed'.
Honestly.
Can I let you all into a secret - the sellers and buyers of the cars might not be genuine.
This is quite interesting, and perhaps makes the orator look a tad hypocritical...

If Mr Brewer learns to say "thirty three thousand" correctly , I might attempt to watch it! Coincidentally, I was passing through Chesterfield a couple of weeks back on a train and I noticed a building trackside which carries a sign saying; "Mike Brewer Car Sales" . I was quite surprised because Chesterfield is in Derbyshire, , and I can't imagine him ever venturing further North than Watford Gap. Typical "Cockney" Savvernah ! IMHO
He's not a cockney, he's an Essex boy - Southend from memory.
His dad built Pinball Wizard - an icon from my youth.......

That is why "cockney". is in inverted commas. Perhaps I should have said "pseudo cockney".
"Cockerknee", "Suvvern" and "Wanker" are all interchangeable terms for the same thing in my opinion.
Just for a brief moment I thought you had added ‘educated’ in there.....
My opinion has not considered those terms.
No. Plain and simple. Better than nothing I guess. Ant is a legend but it's too Americanised and spoilt.
And I have just found out the production company is yet another that is being controlled to some extent by Amazon..
With that revelation I simply lost interest..
Amazon is so sneaky with its charges and accounts I long ago decided the arseholes would never get a chance to pick pocket me
