Wheeler Dealers star Mike Brewer makes huge car show announcement after reacting to Lewis Hamilton’s Formula One victory
WHEELER Dealers star Mike Brewer has made a huge car show announcement after reacting to Lewis Hamilton’s F1 victory.
Mike posted a clip on Twitter hailing Hamilton’s record-breaking ninth British Grand Prix win at Silverstone this afternoon.
The Mercedes driver was overcome with emotion as he finished on the top of the podium for the first time in 945 days.
Mike said: “It’s been an exhausting weekend. It was so good watching England in the football.
“And then this emotional afternoon – congratulations Sir Lewis Hamilton!
“Congratulations to Lando as well. What an amazing sporting weekend.”
Mike then revealed that he will be appearing at a charity car show in Buckinghamshire next weekend.
The Sporting Bears show at Wycombe Air Park will raise funds for a number of children’s charities.
Motoring whizz Mike said: “Talking of a sporting weekend, we’ve got another next weekend, haven’t we?
“Next week is the Sporting Bears at Wycombe Air Park. You’re going to love this.
“It’s on Sunday from 10am in the morning – free to park, free to enter, free of charge. It’s just off the M40 at Marlow, look it up.
“You’ll come along to the Sporting Bears – they’ve got amazing cars and this is their first ever car show. It’s going to be great.
“You’ll be able to drive a car. It can be a Ferrari, it can be an Austin 7, it can be an Escort Cosworth.
“It can be something amazing. You’ll drive it around the block together with somebody from the Sporting Bears.”
Mike added: “You’ll have an amazing time doing it and every single penny of that weekend goes to support children’s charities.
“Nobody takes a fee, we all do it for free and we absolutely love it – so make sure you come along.
“There’s going to be a bouncy castle, an obstacle course, food stalls, football of course.
“There’s going to be me and some other car YouTubers there as well, waving the flag and raising some money for children’s charities.
“In the meantime, have a drink and a relax and enjoy the rest of the weekend.”
