Default 951 on Wheeler-dealers this week

9:00pm Wednesday on Velocity. They run them as two half hour shows, so you'll have to record two programs if you are recording.

I really enjoyed the Spitfire episode. I had a couple of friends with Spitfires, including one that used to race it in SCCA (Dennis Parker).

Caught the episode tonight, meh. Strange as it seems I've always like the look at of 944/951 and have thought about 1 a few times. Not much substance in this episode, but still interested enough to skim through. I was expecting a t-belt, clutch or head gasket while in the shop. I guess painting the wheels, installing a rollbar and struts was ok.

I only wish 944 ownership were so simple for most.

yeah, the car looked fantastic before they started. I would have just fixed it up and remarketed rather than doing what they did.

AFAIK the 914 episode is coming in a few weeks. There was a preview of it on facebook a couple days ago.

Loved my spitfire, will own another someday!
