" So it's almost done all you got to do is throw a bucket of water over it buzz the wheels on and we'll get it sold. There is no way I'm putting these horrible wheels back on the car and in fact it's going to stay on the ramp until you honor your promise, and give me ome nice, new original ones. what's up with these? They're a riot aren't they? They're horrible! Look at them they're disgusting. They are a bit Mickey Mouse aren't they? And I did say I will get an original set for it, so you never know I might be able to put these in part exchange get some money for these. But, I will honor that promise and get you a set of wheels promise."

" I gave Mike a bit of a hard time about these wheels they're actually in pretty good make a little bit just too cheesy for the look we are going for which is a nice, stock Mercedes 280 SL. Now he has finally come good with these lovely, classic alloy wheels. And another original because they're exactly the same as the spare wheel that's in the boot. Let's get them on and see what they look like."

" The old wheels are fairly valuable, and have decent tires and my internet auction for them promises me seventy pounds more than the price of these replacement alloys. Wait a minute. That's cash in my pocket, and the classic Moog wheels give me a stunning transformation."

" The wooden steering wheel has to go. The owner let Mike have the original one for nothing, and that's going straight back on. And someone has offered me sixty five pounds for the old one great news for the kitty."
