Wheeler Dealers

I bet there is good $$ in the TV car shows. No doubt a lot of work an aggravation for the guy doing the actual work on the cars. I like it all even the Hollywood stuff, just hate drama! It helps keep people interested and sometime we actually see someone do something that we learn from.
I have seen those Brits pay some $ for a car do their magic, list the number hrs put in to it, and sell thus car, and looks like they made $3 an hour on that one! But how many $$$$ did the TV pay them. What did I learn?? NOT to buy that model car for that price!!!??? Don't want a Saab anyway! ha
