This year, Wheeler Dealers reached a milestone a.k.a 100 episodes. If you still don't know what the heck I am talking about, I have to ask you which rock you have been living under, and tell you to go and watch some episodes, preferably starting with the early ones.

In over 100 episodes they have delt with cars from all major motoring countries. Starting out with very tight budgets, focusing on coming classics, doing pretty much DIY stuff to them in-house, they have grown to tackle more complex and much higher priced vehicles while outsourcing more and more of the work to specialist's shops. You could say that there is something for everybody.

And I think it's only fair to say that they did a great job on most of them (they showed some rather poor taste on the RX-7 and the Skyline, but hey, roughly 98 out of 100 is still a good quota).

And still, they couldn't fit everything. There are still so many classics and coming classics out there that I don't fear that the show might get boring any time soon. What car would you like to see Mike strike a deal on and then let The Big One educate us on how to deal with its niggles?

I gave this some thought last night while trying to grab some Zzzzz's (Full moon, and hey it's better than counting sheep or some such nonsense), and I came up with the RS2. The rather boring grocery getter that spent some time in some gym in Zuffenhausen and got back completely pumped up. But it wasn't all show and no go either, this one would give the big boys of its time a run for their money.

So what would you like to see them get their hands on?

I know they did a MG B GT. But another great British classic I definitely would like to see is a MG Midget. Itīs within their budget, British, beautiful and there are plenty for sale.

Fox body Mustang 5.0 or a early '60s Galaxie 500.

I really need to see this show I have heard about it and read about it but have not seen an single one since I just have Hulu/Netflix for TV at home.

A lot of them are even on youtube.

A non-classic pickup truck (like from the 90s). The C4 Vette episode made me laugh because they kept calling that car a 'yank tank'.

A first-gen (pre-2004) Audi A8L W12. We never got them stateside, and I think fewer than 1,000 were sold worldwide.

Edd China is easily top 5 tv personalities to me.

Mike Brewer is easily top 15 too. He may be abrasive but he's quite enjoyable and always so upbeat

I'd love to see one on the JK Wrangler...

Maybe take a soccer mom's wrangler and delve deep into the aftermarket territory. Custom switches and the lot...

He's a used car dealer down to the bone, being a bit abrasive comes with the territorry.

Which makes it not exactly the car Mike would seek after.

I'd like to see them do an unfinished/unsorted track-dedicated kit car.

A Pontiac Fiero could be interesting to see.

A first gen Taurus SHO would be interesting.

Or maybe take a second crack at cars that sold for a loss.
