- Whilst on my way to finally getting my tools back I thought it would be the perfect time to answer some of your questions.
1, The cjrshop asked:
Did you get your tools back?
Mikeroark819 asked:
But did they let you in?
Steve Worrell, Donald Davis, Andrew Gormley and Karen J and many others all asked similar questions…
It has been some weeks now since I was in America and many of you have asked; was I allowed in to clear out my desk. Well the short answer is, no. Instead I was sent a message saying that they were going to round up what they considered to be my stuff, pack it into a container and send it back to the UK. This morning I got a message from someone else letting me know the container has arrived and has already been unpacked. Hurrah, my stuff is here! Rather conveniently 'here' is only an hour and a half from my house! So, it's another opportunity to answer to your questions…
2, Brian McDermott asked:
I'm considering buying a 1983 Porsche 911 that, for whatever reason, the current owner has swapped a GM 350 V8 into, whatwill be the most difficult part of putting back an original engine in?
Now, Chuck Schilling commented: that he couldn't imagine how a 350 could be squeezed into a 911 engine bay without thoroughly destroying the structural integrity and value of the car…and it is a good point!...
3, TheTexasRaceFan57 asked:
Edd, seems like you have trouble fitting into most cars, what is your personal car you drive?
Lenny Brassneck asked:
Edd, what's your daily driver, and why?
In UK; Range Rover (Full size obviously), Casual Lofa (sofa car).
In United States; Cadillac Escalade ESV, Nissan NV V8, for 9 inlaws.
4, Jade Latent from the Edd China Appreciation Group asked:
From where does Edd get all his cool and crazy shirts from?
JohanssonFoitek asked:
Hi Edd, remember you wearing a nice MonzaGP56 or so t-shirt! Where did you buy it? Is there a plan to sell on your website?
5, Trey Pontious asked:
When are new episodes of Wheeler Dealers coming?

Think Ed is awesome. Typical the good guy gets shafted. Keep up the good work Ed you seem like a genuinely nice bloke.
But the good guy always win in the long run. At least he is the one that can sleep well at night.
So true. I bet off camera he has the worst mouth ever! Ha ha
Oh yes he does swear! Remember the three wheeler hood episode? ;-)
Oh yes... But we are talking extreme words like when you turn the nut and you slip off and you cut your knuckles lol
He didn't get shafted, he left on his own accord because he has integrity and didn't bow down to the American producers, well done that man!
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!
Can't help feeling that you've been treated appallingly. Especially given that you were the brains of the duo.
Best wishes.
Only watched wheelers coz of Edd.. you're a legend get back on the tv .. you've got lots of fans out there waiting 😁
True...
I like both of them 😢 miss it
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.
Chris Kowalsky I am picturing a Monty Python Gumby whilst reading this
Chris Kowalsky Always type with caplocks on.
A new little trick for you: don't write all caps.
Caps Lock is cruise control for cool.
Edd clearly doesn't mind ... he's given it a thumbs up.
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!
The way you were treated was appalling, i know the feeling, you held your head high like a gentleman.
You're a fantastic role model
Ed you are a legend!! I miss you on wheelers dealers. It’s not the same my man!
I prefer this format...
Indeed, it's not the same.
The current format isn't my cup of tea, but I'm sure it suits the Mercan market
I'm glad you are back in England. As an American, I loved watching you work on odd European cars that I've never seen before. Good luck.
"I need a workshop"? What a cliffhanger! Can't wait to see.
Looks like the show is on the road again.
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 ;-)
"... fixing up" Ah but ... did you watch the one where Edd just put filler over cracks in fibreglass (Elan) ?
He is however a pretty good mechanic.
Next the workshop, then and hopefully another brand new show that teaches and educates about fixing cars.
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.
Simply the best car guy we had the pleasure to see on TV, glad to be able to follow you here. Been a huge fan for years. Best of luck mate.
When watching Wheeler Dealers I always fast forwarded through Mike's parts so i could get to watch Edd do his thing. Any one else do that
Yes me too.
Yes i did the same E was the star of the show .All Mike did was shake hands
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.
Raymond Smart - there was a whole bunch of people doing the work on the cars, not just Ed.
Raymond Smart -
you bet. Cannot stand the fat lad droning on, the very sight of him had me reaching for the FF button on the remote control
Hey Edd, glad you finally got your tools back! Don't worry fella you'll make a smashing comeback! Your a top bloke!
I live and work in Lagos, Nigeria. Watching the UK version with Ed makes for great nostalgia and helps me when I am missing Blighty too much!
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.
You are the best,I hope see you on TV soon again
Josue Jimenez I
Patrick Walsh ?
No, no, no - on UA-cam or some other online platform. I'd pay to see Edd work on cars....
I would pay to see Ed work on MY car.......
Yeah. With a beer/tea break every 15 minutes. I'm buying.
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 . 👍🏻
Hey Ed I would love to see you do a full restore on any type of car you have taught many of us home mechanics a lot over the years
Nice one Edd, glad you got your stuff back
Glad u got your tools back :) onwards!!!!
Discusting dumping your tools that way!! I hope you have everything back you own!
🇭🇲🦘 Great to see that you DID get your own tools back. Thank goodness for that. 👍 Good luck with everything. ALL the very best.
What a fantastic opportunity to follow Edd without obnoxious interruptions! This is the best decision he could have made, thanks for sharing Edd!
Glad to see you making videos again Edd. I can't wait to see you on television again.
Great to have you back edd the whole yank thing with tubby was shite in the end, bring on the new projects!
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
Laurel & Hardy comes to mind ........ but they work so well.
ADAMS1N
Joycinha Borges: Exactly. eXecation is obviously a brain dead fan of fat penguins.
Chuck Pringle I wasn’t happy about it but Ant isn’t doing a terrible job.
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.
Hey Edd good luck with anything in future
*ED WAS ALWAYS MY FAVORITE ON WHEELER DEALERS... MIKE WAS JUST A MOUTH PIECE ORNAMENT ON THE SHOW !!!*
true and that awful cockney?accent, jeez even my cat just threw up hearing that awful accent
Yes I agree
One annoying git
Ohhh you've done it again Ed
sad really
totally agree
@@Pfirtzer ang about guv,nothing wrong with a bit of cockney slang chief.
Miss you Ed......haven't watched the show since you left.....can't believe that they did that to you
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?
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!
Was expecting a comedy reveal of just a shoe box in that storage unit, followed by a trademark "Oh dear!" Looking forward to your future projects.
Jonathan.HDK.O'Toole g
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 UA-cam channel allows me to continue to see how you are doing.
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
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!
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 UA-cam 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!
Edd. I’m really sad you left the show. Glad I found your channel. Thank you for all the years on WD. Amazing show.
Always fast forward through Mike, and just watch to what Edd is up to, he is very informative - and down to earth...
Not the way one would expect to be treated after 13+ years on a show.
F😁😁k velocity
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.
I would tell mine but people would cry and feel bad for me
No tears wanted just respect.
Analog Man in a Digital World no point, move on, its best, trust me! You are better off without people like that in your life!
You were the life and soul of wheeler dealers. I do hope you'll get a show of your own, it would be brilliant.
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
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
No way I am watching the show without you, you were the only reason I was watching the show.
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.
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.
You made Wheeler dealers So sorry to hear you have left :( i miss you!
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.
So good to see you've received your tools! Now lets get greasy!!!
I don't think Ed listens to people who believe earth is flat
Pha Q I hope you lose a foot in some sort of accident
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...
+Pha Q I also drive a 1.2ltre vauxhall corsa
Ciaoooo ED you will always be the BEST. I hope to see you again in another broadcast where you can continue to learn your knowledge and your ability.
Love these videos. Great to see you here on youtube. Greetings from a Rc flying fanatic and Norway
Wheeler Dealers without Ed... That's like sitting down to Sunday Roast, only to find that the meat is missing- not good at all!
David Green it's like mock the week without frankie Boyle
David Green more like the roast is a hamburger roast not a real roast. Just not right. Didn’t like the new guy at all neither.
It's like roast lamb, but without mint sauce!
+globulant99 Actually, I would prefer the mint sauce without the lamb. And to put things in perspective. I dont like roast lamb. :P
David Green I am in agreement with that
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 was the heart of that show. Second hand car dealers are ten a penny. Geniuses like Ed are rare.
I like how much detail you do to show everyone how to fix everything. I learned so much from you please keep it up the ed
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 love watching you fixing all cars and general you are the best mechanic ever
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.
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.
you made Wheeler Dealers....not Michelin Mike
Steven Humphries Michelin mike
Eds got the kowledge and the skills to make his own programe i sugest doing a series on modding cars or inventing transport out of items
Great to see you in a Range Rover Edd, great great car!
Takes years to build up a collection, your collection. Glad you got them back, Edd!
Ed, really enjoyed the show and watching you work your magic. i hope to see back on the tele soon
Good luck for the future Edd, hope to see you on TV again soon 👍🏼
That's great news that your stuff made it back in relatively good order! Hopefully everything you needed made it. Good luck with finding that new workshop, I'm very excited to see where things will take you next. :)
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
Hi Ed I am a fan of yours from Monza, Italy. I like watching you dealing with engines from your shop and hope not to be the only one over here. Greetings from the sunny italy
Edd, you need to join BOM, Bad Obsession Motorsport. They need a hand, building Binky.
You think?! From what I've seen they have it covered.
The three of you would be hilarious to watch! Do it Edd!
Hi Craig & Tom, look out for AskEdd 6 (to be released on Friday the 11th of August at 8pm!!
That would be sweet edd working on binky
Hey Edd China,
I reckon you would be the perfect fit for Top Gear :) ...... Love your work mate I look forward to every video.
Brett.
Brett Plowman haha indeed! Some very in-depth technical reviews to go along with harris' driving reviews would be cool
Sure would fritzie p sure would mate :)
Brett Plowman - He was on the show in the early 2000's where they did a "James Bond" spy car. I think the episode was called "Bond car on a budget".
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
Apparently, it's called The Grand Tour now...
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.
Edd China you are brilliant! You have amazing skills and you’re able to relay your understanding and skills over to those watching in a superb way. I cannot watch the new show because you were the show. Please get another show up and running so we can all enjoy seeing you again 👍
Always the true engineer gets the short straw!,hope you have a great time in your new quests
Edd... awesome guy. Good luck to you on future business and TV show ventures.
So sorry to hear you’ve left WD.
Thanks for having taught me so many things!
Mircea / România
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.
The reason I watched "Wheeler Dealers" was to learn the proper way to refurbish a worn motor......Thank you, I learned a lot from you Edd. Please get another show.
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.
Edd Happy to see you got your tools, was everything there!
Always enjoyed your top tips, I've had over 70 cars over the years, from mk1 escorts to mercedes cl55 so always found them helpful, thanks for many hours of entertainment which incidentally I continue to watch.. take care and all the best Ed, from a fellow mechanic
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.
Hi Edd, so glad you got your stuff back, must have been a bit of a pain. Not the way you should have been treated after all those years. It was very big of you to say you would be watching the new series. A sign of a true gentleman that you can rise above it. Just an idea for when you get your new workshop, how about renovating some old sports mopeds, SS50, FS1E etc. Many of us have very happy memories of these old bikes. All the very best in whatever you do and looking forward very much to seeing you back on the box.
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.
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
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!
Ed. We miss ya man. Great talent
Ed China has a way of talking to the layman without making them feel inadequate! cheers,
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.
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.
I always enjoyed your segments. Very informative and confidence inspiring as far as working on your own vehicle.
Great vid Edd China! Keep em coming 👍
Would love to see you back on TV. You are a great character
Great show (Wheeler Dealers ).Mike is great,so much knowledge & fixing the big & small problems
from Ed.
thank you Edd for all your tips into Wheeler Dealers season. And for all the stuff you do for other shows like Top Gear and Grand Tour! We
How about just simply "Edd's"?.......Set up a garage and vlog the work you do. I'd happily pay double and some to have you work in my car! Great editing on this last vid, the moment when we saw the flowers/bees etc I think we all thought of you plodding around in the dim light hunting your tools 😂👍 Dave in Worthing
How you doing Edd? I always liked your way of making the show.
Hi Ed I watched your skills and expected that from my local mechanic. After having my car fixed I found some of his tools left in my engine. I returned them and said for them to watch your past shows. Thanks from America for your quality. !!!!
Being born and raised in America the British people have earned a lot of respect from us, for being forthright, having a stiff upper chin, and keeping a positive attitude during adversity while remaining true to their convictions. Edd China the most difficult thing to do is be an honest descent person who remains true to himself, doing it shows you're a proper "English Gentleman".
sorry to hear they gave you such a problem getting your stuff back. hope they actually gave you back everything that was yours.
George Cramer
he has teng tools so fuck em off n get snap on you lanky shit bag
Can't wait to see the new workshop!
Hello Ed, how are you? My name is Paul and I am from Ireland, I watched wheeler dealers repeated episodes, I want to tell you the episode that sticks out for me is when Mike bought that VW BEETLE from the farmer brought it to your place and would not help you move it off the trailer. You converted it into a beach buggy, and I remember when you were preparing to undo the bolts from the floor pan to remove the shell you got a huge hammer and had fun with it smashing the rear wings. Anytime I watch you I am always very impressed with how you transform stuff.
Keep it going.
Plus that was a great idea removing the rear side windows so you could lift the body of the floor pan.
Edd thank you for making wheeler dealers such a great show. You have inspired me to be a better hobbyist auto mechanic on my Datsun 240z. I wish you the best in all of your future endeavors. I hope that you have a TV show of your own in the future.
