Who would you say is the more interesting to watch? Ed explains more on what he is doing and seems to tackle any job including bodywork,whereas Fuzz tends more to the mechanical side but I suppose its down to the programme planners what they show. Wheeler dealers get their money back on their restorations but who finances car s.o.s. Car SOS is more interesting as they more or less do full restorations on classic cars but it must cost a fortune. Back to my original question. I prefer Ed China to listen to.

I like them both.

But if I had to choose it would be Ed, I like the way he does explain things and I have picked up some valuable tips from watching him.

I would agree that Fuzz is more 'mechanical' in his interest.

I'm not a regular viewer and might be wrong but I can't remember ever seeing the cost of their premises or Ed's time in their costing.

Never thought of it that way Peter. I can only assume that the TV companies are paying their wages. Euro Car Parts are maybe weighing in some cash as they get used a lot on Wheeler Dealers. On Car SOS the same cars have been lying in Fuzzs garage for ages especially the Triumph Renown. I would imagine that Ed and Fuzz dont just rely on their TV series to make a living.
