  • Mike Brewer big interview part 2 - the Wheeler Dealer discusses Edd China. Known for being the frontman of TV show Wheeler Dealers since it began almost 20 years ago, Mike had already been the presenter of Driven, Deals on Wheels and numerous other shows. Following on from the Car Cave private garage tour of Mike's workshop, this is the Idol Chat interview, where Jonny Smith brings his terrible brown chairs to ask personal questions to a prominent face in the automotive community.

    Great chat from both of you. The idea of a 20th Wheeler Dealer episode from Mike of the 3 mechanics joining forces to complete a project such as a replica GT40 resto would definitely be worth a watch and hopefully a joy for the boys to make such an episode. Maybe this could happen and if so all good but if Ed choses to say no that is his choice clearly. Ed if you see this comment and no doubt many others like it could you give it some thought and maybe get in touch with Mike to see what could happen as a lot of folk would be itching to see you all together combining your various skills to build a cracker of a car.

      I'm the same, but have a fundamental dislike of salespeople, the whole "patter" thing and generally flipping cars for profit. Always enjoyed the mechanical side of WD, but was never a fan of the whole pretending to sell cars side of it ('old out yer 'and!). Interesting to see Mike when it's not in salesman or presenting mode - seems like a genuinely nice guy, easy to see the passion for cars. Shame about all the trolls.

    Super episodes, Jonny. Mike is a nice guy, he doesn't deserve the abuse he gets. The only issue I had with WD was the terrible script writing that started to creep in while in the US, it lost its natural straightforward no-nonsense approach that made the earlier series so successful. I do hope Mike and Edd can resolve their differences for a reunion show with Ant and Mark.

      @plasticpenguin1 Před rokem

      Good stuff Jonny.
      However, Mike is a drama queen and a hypocrite. Of course personal attacks on Mike and his family is disgusting & unacceptable. I was defending Brewer. He never replied or liked any of my responses on social media. He was saying how this abuse effects his mental state, yet I experienced him many times courting controversy by the these vermin.
      Some time later he was promoting the latest series of WDs, I was honest enough to say I lost interest in the programme when they first moved to the US. Not for the reasons Mike suggested, but for me it veered too far from the original brief -- it looked too staged. The upshot was Brewer blocked me. I was never abusive, just very candid. Was I upset? No, just disappointed that he felt my comments was more offensive than someone threatening his family.
      He also bangs on about this Mike vs Edd. People come & go in life, so I've never subscribed to that.
      I've got no time for Brewer.

    I'm a die hard WD fan, started watching as a 16yo in 2003 and never missed an episode and feel like I've grown up with Mike, Edd etc. I gotta say, when the show moved to the US the issue was not the location but more the format of the show had changed, it was geared more towards the American audience with ott drama rather than the oily bits we all became accustomed to. Still, so glad to see it back home and Elvis is a fantastic addition to the team 😊

      Well said Bruyan36. You are 100% correct, The format did change and I knew it would as Discovery are very much into the Drama versus the real technical stuff, I saw it coming and thought it may destroy the W.D. series, I'm so glad the series went back to being a British show, people need Quality not Bull and sadly many US shows have more than their far share of drama here. I believe that format change is why Edd left the show. I'm a big fan of Mike and what he has done in life. I've stopped watching the large selection of discovery channels in the USA including Motor Trend, I get tired of all the Drama, the repetitive stuff in the same show and the endless advertising.

    Love this interview. Thanks for posting Jonny.
    I am US based I will be honest, Mike Brewer was the host of Wheeler Dealers for me - and that was the extent of my knowledge on Mr Brewer. Big fan of the two shows - the Dream Car idea was a genius off-shoot of WD. It was during the pandemic lockdowns my opinion and my respect for Mike Brewer grew. I watched a few car dealer "insider" interviews Mike did and his knowledge and feel and intuitiveness for the auto industry was stunning.
    I sent Mike a license plate for his shop wall - you see the plate wall in part one of this interview. Mike and I exchanged a few emails over the plate - positive guy... or has staff is excellent. Probably both really...
    I met Edd China in 2019. Really nice guy - and man that guy really is tall. Edd was kind enough to speak with myself and my friend for a few minutes at SEMA. In conversation Wheeler Dealers and Mike came up - Edd had nothing bad to say about Mike Brewer. I am not in the media, I am just a guy who likes cars. Edd had a clear opportunity to bad mouth Mike and he absolutely did not. No tone, no excuses. I feel that this whole Mike and Edd thing has been blown out or proportion perhaps by the media. Sure feelings were hurt but could be cleared up with a few cups of tea and perhaps a few trips to the pub by old friends.
    I hope Mikes vision of the GT-40 restore comes together - how cool would that be? Epic!
    Thanks again Jonny. Did Mike help you disassemble the chairs for the trip home?

The past is the past, nothing can be done to change that. The future is uncertain, but today is a gift to behold. That's why they call it the present. Carpe Diem, seize the fish, as they say. It would certainly be a banger for the two of you to not only do a special, but perhaps a whole series.

    Great chat both of you. I’ve been a fan of Mike for years and have watched Jonny on 5th Gear but have a new found appreciation for him via YT. Great format for Jonny to be himself and convey his personality. Thanks to both for doing what you do - and Mike, you’ve handled the trolls with grace and dignity.

    As a relative newcomer to this channel I have watched Jonny unearth some great cars and have been a fan of mike’s shows through the years and indeed following the other mechanics, Ed, Ant and Elvis. I particularly enjoyed this interview and it’s obvious how Mikes drive and determination has pushed him and how Jonny’s calm and cheeky style brought about the cathartic release to hear about his journey. Surely there must be a barn-find repair and sell on programme you could both get involved in. Helping those owners realise their car’s worth to others and saving classics. Best of luck fellas.

    I can't think of many other interviews that have been as "from the heart" as this one. There were moments where I literally laughed out loud, and others where I felt deeply saddened by some of the vitriol that Mike has had to endure.

    Thank you Guys for that honest, down to earth chat. Mike sometimes during the programs comes across as the used car salesman who just tells you the BS he thinks you want to hear, but there’s a lot more to him which comes out in this interview. I’ll admit, for me at least, that the magic was lost when Edd left the show, then the show was lost when it moved to a channel I don’t have! 😂 I miss Mike and Edd together on wheeler dealers, as Mike said, it was a special relationship, and like any relationship, the closer you are the more it hurts when it all goes south. 10/10 Jonny, you’re doing a great job with everything you do 👍
