HI ED I JUST LIKE TO SAY, YOU MADE WHEELER DEALER A SHOW WORTH WATCHING, FROM BEGINNING TILL END, YOU WERE THE REASON I WATCHED. YOU TAUGHT ME LOTS OF LITTLE TRICKS THAT I WILL ALWAYS USE WHEN I DO A JOB. I NO LONGER WATCH THE SHOW, HOPE YOU START YOUR OWN REPAIR SHOW SOON. THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE YEARS OF A DOWN TO EARTH REAL CAR REPAIR SHOW.
Edd, through it all, know that you are truly respected and loved by many thousands of us here in the United States, the United Kingdom, and around the world who watched with wonder as you magically transformed forgotten, neglected cars into magnificent, road-worthy vehicles. Thirteen years of greatness. We can't WAIT to see what you have in store for us next. Crack on!
So glad your tools came home. I just want to add my voice to the consensus judgement that Edd was what was good about Wheeler Dealer and Mike was what we had to put up with in order to get Edd. What nobody has mentioned yet is that Edd is one of the best natural educators ever seen on TV. He has a genius for explaining things. Besides, Edd has the best hair ever seen on the Velocity Channel!
Thanks for keeping us update Ed. I'm really excited to see what you've got planned in the future. Really hoping you'll be on the forefront now too, you have a natural presence and familiarity that seems to make your explanations and tutorials a pleasure to watch. Looking forward to the Future as are all your fans. Thanks Ed!
Beside Mike screwing down the price of the car he was buying to his level he also boosted the value of the one he was selling which considering Ed did all the work I thought was a bit of a cheek despite him always saying "you know I'm a wheeler dealer". Ed definitely the star. Fast forward Mike's section.
Indeed, let's hope he gets his own show.. New host for Top Gear?? Couldn't stand MB in the later episodes, very cheesy & said some cringeworthy things on WD. Loved everything Edd did fixing all the cars up. Even now, after watching all the episodes, I still watch the repeats on Dave, only because I like to see Edd fixing things, nothing to do with MB ;-)
Thanks for the shout out Edd your a legend, loved watching you work on the show you give even the people with no car knowledge the courage to have a go . 👍🏻
The producers are not happy with Ed's departure, how bout the viewers??? Screw the producers, put Ed back on Ed's show!! Hate to say it but I would rather see Mike leave then Ed.
eXecatiOn People didn't give a hoot about the dealing. Couldnt care what they made because it was all bs anyway. People like the transfprmation and getting to know a bit about cars
What a terrible way to treat someone who made wheeler dealers the success it was. Looking forward to the new show and hope you got all your tools back. Despite the way you've been treated you're still rising above it, keeping your cool and staying professional. Top man!
I worked in tv production for many years, and from what I can see, Ed i’d the type of talent that we loved working with. Non pretentious, honest, and able to string two sentences together.
Edd, we're so sorry things worked out the way they did and the enormous delay of getting your tools back. Our staff watched the show and watch your RU-vid now. Can't wait to see what you do next, you're a quality human being and we're rooting for you-go for it!
We got to meet up with EDD when he signed a book for us in Reading. Loved him for years now. Enjoying the book. Lovely to meet you both. David and Lily.
Just why TV is empty without ed. A natural in front of the camera with a passion for fixing cars. I've learned so much from watching this guy over the years
I'm not sure if Ed got shafted or if Discovery was more focused on talk and story line, where Ed as well as many many viewers LOVED and WANTED repair detail. I loved seeing Ed deal with common issues as well as inform his viewers on fixing, restoring, and customizing vehicles...ED you will land on your feet and you are a fabulous person and mechanic! Good Luck
Glad to see some that some of the light has come back to your face Edd. I started watching you on tv only after a terrible health scare left me crippled an practically unable to move. I found out that your show was on cable, and for the first time I had cable installed to see your show. Now that you left WD decided cable was not worth keeping so I had it turned off. Very glad I have my iPad. I look forward to your videos, they give me strength to keep going. Thank you Edd.
Glad you got your stuff back. That's a great trailer you have too! Very cool! Can't wait to see where you end up next. Thanks for the years on fun viewing.
Don't think for even a moment edd is no longer with us a man with that much skill and talent and charisma cant be held down or held back CHEERS EDD 👍 to a very bright future
Hey Ed, I've worked at sea for years and I've always taken episodes of Wheeler Dealer with me to watch whilst I'm away. Really great to watch when missing my motors. Sad I'll never be able to do that again. Hope you get back in business soon enough.
The ‘Ego’ and the ‘Edd’’ I can understand! Thank you, Mr Edd China for all of your work, knowledge and classic car vocabulary. You are a superstar and I want to see you on TV or online...just keep going, eh?
Edd - you are my favorite car car. I just bought seasons 1-8 on DVD. It was interesting how quickly you went from someone inexperienced in front of the camera, to someone totally comfortable, engaging, fluid, articulate, and full of charisma on the screen. Thanks for all the many hours of informative shows.
Edd, you're one hell of a crack mechanic. I'm glad to see that you're back in your home country where you're probably more happy and comfortable. The new editions of your old show are not the same without you. You really know your job and your expertise in overcoming the most challenging projects even had this old mechanic watching with close attention. Wishing you all of the best in the future and at least my subscription to your RU-vid channel allows me to continue to see how you are doing.
wheeler dealers was different because the detail ed went into with repairs which i loved! without this detail/ edd wheeler dealers is another car makeover show
Ed, My husband and I are both ex-mechanics now retired, watching you on Wheelers absolutely saved our marriage.No kidding,...your honest sensible incredible skills gave us the perfect referee as we would challenge one another's knowledge. You're always going to be the gold standard for comparisons in our house. Please make sure your next project is available here in Massachusetts or be responsible for two old nutters splitting :-) Best of luck and blessings in whatever you pursue. The Mercurio family.
Come work with me Edd. Love to have you in my shop. I take pride in my car repair too. Been doing this for 37 years and you've taught me a thing or two. I'll be looking forward to your next gig.
grebzu a.a That is likely a good decision considering the lack of aptitude one needs, to believe we're on a dead, stale, motionless, road kill, pizza with holographic projector, glass cake dome, infirmament.
grezbu a.a My empathy is sincere and my sympathy is immense. However I think your affliction might be self inflicted. You really shouldn't eat paint chips with your wiener schnitzel...
edd, sometimes you may never know the reason that you part ways. But most of the time its for the better, we love watching your talent. here in usa, and i know better things will come your way.
I don't think you'll ever really know how much of a rock star you really are! I loved watching you on your show and learned a tremendous amount about cars, but most important was that I learned to "DO" things instead of not doing them. I am most grateful. Thanks Ed!!!! God bless
You don't expect it Rob as you're probably also a decent bloke. Once you're jaded enough (I'm well on my way towards being a grumpy old fart) this is exactly what you'd expect...
I worked for a relatively small firm, driving cars vans and lorry's (trucks) for 35 years, when I retired, not one member of management came to shake my hand and say good by. Now that's not the way to be treated.
Ed youve left . dont watch the programme now. U were good. Explained in its simplist terms that i could understand. Thanks hope u get together another video.
TV is crying out for a show fronted by you Edd. You know the thing, car repairs/maintenance. You were the reason Wheeler Dealers had such a strong following.Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
Yes I thought that.Have worked on many old bangers from 62 onwards and basically had to learn myself through trial and error ( garage charges in the early 60s were expensive ) he has a way of explaining it all without any clever than thou attitude,almost as though he remembers what its like when u know naff all. A right diamond geezer.
Ed , just wanted you to know I thought you were about the best mechanic I have ever seen, and I took 3 years of auto mechanics myself in high school. God bless you my friend.
Obviously Edd has a plan in place for a workshop,, personally i can't wait to start watching you progress, and start to stand out, this time on your own merits , which to be fair won't be hard :) , your an awesome chap.
@stephen john gray That's what thought. I remember one show where he dropped the price and made a pittance. Brewer actually admitted he couldn't give a rat's arse what Ef China had to do.
tiffany branton Brewer was just so false!! He was just an annoying interruption to what should have been Ed China doing his thing... I didn't think personally that the American thing worked for us Brits but l get the Commercial angle. We don't see too many Dodge Chargers in the UK. I have watched the program from the start and even live in the same Area as Ed, seen him and his family shopping in our town. A Great Program but there is no way that the car sells at any profit at the finish stage.
I still use 40 year old SnapOn tools i bought that are in great shape, and they still make money for me. Good luck to you Ed! If they had screwed you over and kept your tools i would have gone on a major campaign to get a tool sponsor to you, from SnapOn to Mac, Cornwell, Matco or even Napa, whatever it takes.
Thank you s13one80 you were dead right, that is the name of the clip and it's on you tube.... Thanks again... They should bring him back permanently :). Brett
This tells me that the split was very acrimonious. They would not let Edd on property to recover his tools. If I were in Edds shoes I never would have left without my tools being that they are a mechanics livelyhood.
Glad you have your tools back Edd. It seems like you're still planning to be using your skills (presenting, mechanic, engineering, t-shirt design, etc) and stay in the public eye. With over 200, 000 subscribers to your youtube channel, the public support is obviously there, I hope the backing from production companies is also available. I'm really looking forward to see what cool ideas you come up with, and wish you every success for the future. Forza Edd!
Everyone are suddenly perfect drivers when they think they are Edd's friends on his channel , the guy builds, renovates cars!! He knows how to drive. And who doesn't talk or takes one hand off the steering wheel? You are a true gentleman Edd. X
I feel your sadness bro. It's perfectly normal to be sad... what's not normal is to be treated as you have been treated after spending so much time building up what the show is today. I can imagine your disappointment with Mike although I truly believe you will come out with a much better show to us bearing in mind that your part of the show was always the best one. Please stand up and keep moving. We are all expecting something great coming from you. Cheers!
a mechanic without his tools i cant think over anything worse. whenever i lose even a simple tool i go through a process of grieving its loss. hope your feeling better now Edd!
No offence intended to the Yanks, but this show went shit when they started going over the pond to the USA to restore vehicles! It lost its unique British theme!
I am sad because Ed left the Show... Hope he will be on TV again from England to all over the World. You will be missed! Watching you on RU-vid for now.
Hey Edd, I just wanted to say how much of an inspiration you are to me on your attention to detail and explanation of the work at hand. I live on the east coast in the US and met someone that went to school with you and confirmed that you truly are a good person and what we see is real. I wish you the very best of luck on your future endeavors and hope to see you soon back on TV. Speaking as a viewer and fan we all enjoyed the details in the garage. Keep it real. Jeff M
Edd, just wanted to say that you were the heart and soul of wheeler dealers. Can't wait to see the new workshop in to see what you're doing. You've always been a good teacher thank you . Excited to see what you do next I know it will be great as usual.
