Find out about the adventures of inventor, mechanic, TV presenter, former Wheeler-Dealer co-star and all-round English eccentric, Edd China, when he pays a visit to Waterstones bookstore at intu Milton Keynes later tomorrow (May 17).
Edd will be in conversation, talking about his book ‘Grease Junkie’, from 6pm.
As co-presenter of Wheeler Dealers, Edd China entertained fans for 13 years, reaching 200 million global viewers at the show’s peak. However, he's first and foremost a mechanic, designer, engineer and inventor, with a gift for making complicated stuff easy and fixing almost anything. He's the car equivalent of the Supervet.
An unstoppable enthusiast from an early age, Edd had 35 on-going car projects housed in different locations while he was at university, not counting the double-decker bus he was living in. He looks back with fond memories on his beloved first car, a 1303c Texas yellow Beetle, the start of an continuing love affair with VW (even though it got him arrested for attempted armed robbery).
He’s now a man with a road-legal sofa, bed, shed, bathroom and giant trolley. Whether building them from scratch or bringing bangers back from the brink, the orange-gloved garage god will always choose the path that takes him to the outer limits of human feasibility, and he’s got a lifetime of adventures to show for it. Edd China is a one-off. Grease Junkie is his story.
Hold tight – it’s a surreal and speedy ride.
Tickets are available in store, and are a snip at just £3 (which is redeemable off the cost of the book at the event).
