I watch it all the time. It's a bit hilarious for sure. The tall guy is a pretty darn good mechanic, but the "dealer" is just plain annoying. The fact that he is ecstatic over making 500 quid on a car they spend two weeks working on is amazing.
Now, I find my self saying "crackin'" all the time.

To see the link I think the OP intended to post, click HERE.
A few months ago, on the British XK8 forum, a Wheeler Dealers producer posted that they were looking for a top-notch XK8, for the intro portion of an episode- they'll use the nice car as an example up front, and then go find one to renovate themselves. The chap they seemed to have connected with has an award-winning XK8 in Great Britain somewhere.
So, we know there's an XK8 episode coming soon...I've been on the lookout for it. The car they're giving away in the link above is the car they refurbished for the episode...perhaps they couldn't sell it!
BTW, I agree on the show's hosts....Edd China is pretty great and I learn something from him everytime...I could do without the "dealer" altogether.

I believe the guy has a 1998 and won "Best XK8 / R" at the 2011 "Growler" meet in the UK, where I imagine there are many, many Jags showing up for review.
Just took a look at that UK forum, found HERE, and they're saying the XK8 episode is airing next week, at least on that side of the pond.

I like the show, but when Ed China works on the cars he never cleans anything... They just replace the part. Everything not organic rusts in Great Britain and their cars look horrible; so when he pulls off a parts, he never does anything to make the rest of the car look better.
To make matters worse, the shiny new parts are usually put back on with old rusting fasteners. My pet peeve is reinstalling pitted chrome back into new paint. Ugh.

But if this is going to be the "final episode" what will 'little screechy' do for a living? Will he find a crackin' new job?

Why do they do this? English people are obtuse.

The English use the phrase Series to refer to both what we'd call a season, and what we call a series. I'm curious to see which one they'd be meaning; given the fanbase for the show, I'd be surprised if things were ending for good.
