Looks like our old pal Mike " 'Old out yer 'and " Brewer has just opened his own car dealership in the Northern English city of Sheffield.  No, he's not selling scruffy old bangers patched together by Edd, Mike's nine-foot-tall mechanic.  It's mostly boring, mainstream stuff you'd never see on Wheeler Dealers.

Although the website does look pretty cheesy.  My kids could make a better looking site than this......

They have a Farcebook page, too.

The building used to be a Toyota dealership, so start-up costs should be minimal.

As with most of these "celebrity" type dealerships, I'm sure it's just a case of putting Mike's name on the building.  I seriously doubt he will be involved in the day-to-day running of the business.  Besides, after seeing his awful negotiation skills on the show, I doubt they will let him anywhere near real customers!

So can I show up, be a pompous ass, insult him, and force him to sell the car to me for 25% of the asking price?
