Edd, the wild-haired master mechanic on the Velocity Channel show, is parting ways due to management issues: he dosen’t feel comfortable cutting corners to save money.

It’s sad news. Wheelers Dealers was one of the few shows that hadn’t gone to the fake drama, yelling crap that the other TV car shows thinks is what the audience wants. It still had some real technical content thanks to Edd.
Oh well, luckily there are good youtube channels with tech content.

Love Edd.
Mike, not so much.
Fuck off, Velocity.

That’s too bad. I watch the show occasionally, even though I have little interest in cars. It’s just relaxing to see how these things are done, and WD is not an obnoxious testosterone fest like every other car show.
