That episode of Wheeler Dealer is available on DVD. The programme regularly plays on the Discovery channel.
If you want to download it do a Google search on "download youtube". If you use Firefox then look for the DownloadHelper addin. After you download you'll need to convert the Flash Video files to AVI - another Google search. The quality of youtube video is rubbish you're better off spending $10 on the DVD.

That's what passes for English these days Vince.
I'm good. Hope all is well with you and yours.

"Porsche electrics are usually bulletproof..."

Anyone feel like collecting these videos and sharing them with me so I can create a multimedia section on the new site in development?
I can create an FTP site fro you to upload the movies as you come to them.

Funny how he said the transmission was so much better and yet they didn't do anything to it, they could have at least changed the oil.
I guess stickers and gearknobs do make a car faster!!

Slight problem with copyright. You don't want the legal might of the Discovery Channel falling on you.

I watched it, cool video, they have a 928 one too, but no 944 
anyone know what the stuff they used on the 924 wheels to remove corrosion is called? I need to use that on my rims.
the only thing I didn't get about the video was in the end he says that the car drives so much better, better steering, better braking etc but he didn't do any mechanical work on the car other than chancing the spark plus/ rotor/ oil.
Also not sure how nice that spray can paint job looks close up or in a year.
