Episodes

  1. The Humvee Operation

    Michael, the Morlock boss, is used to receiving mysterious deliveries from the US Army. When a shipment arrives in Peterslahr, no one knows what’s inside, but Michael’s contract with the Army ensures he buys whatever they discard. Today, however, it’s a massive surprise rolling onto his property. The real game-changer, though, is waiting in Hawaii. But instead of enjoying sun-kissed beaches, Michael is stuck on a dusty military base, having purchased 21 Humvees at an incredibly low price. The challenge? He must dismantle and pack these beasts into just three containers. Thankfully, he’s not alone — problem-solver Julie is there to help him tackle this Tetris nightmare, designed for hardcore gearheads.

  2. High-Stakes Mission on Hawaii

    One Man, One Mission – Big Deals! One of these Big Deals takes Michael to Hawaii, where he teams up with his US-partner Julie for a mission at a US Army base. The task: to disassemble 21 decommissioned Humvees for transport—always under tight deadlines and with the usual Morlock-style challenges. Back in Germany, Michael faces his next unexpected adventure. A Eurofighter pilot shows interest in one of his vehicles, and this meeting will have far-reaching consequences…

  3. A Food Truck Emergency

    Michael has fulfilled his dream of owning an M2. This time, the vehicle is in good condition, except for a minor turbine defect. Now, it’s up to Micha to find out if the defect is really as small as expected… Meanwhile, a food truck owned by a mother-daughter duo is causing concern on the property. The brake pistons are defective, and finding replacements in the right special size is nearly impossible. Time is running out, as an event with a crowd of hungry guests is fast approaching. Can the Morlocks save the business for these two women? Micha’s next step toward his Eurofighter dream takes him to the flight doctor. It’s all or nothing. Will his dream of flying a fighter jet come to an end here, or is it within reach?

  4. Classic Cars and Adrenaline Kicks

    The sun is shining, and spirits are high. Michael and Julie are heading to see a real gem—a 1948 Buick convertible in near-new condition. Sounds great, but the problem is, there’s little room to negotiate the price down. Another big deal awaits Michael in Sweden, where ultra-rare parts for his beloved Antonov 2 are said to be hidden in an old barn. Time to head to the land of moose for the next big find!

  5. Big Deal in Indonesia

    A Big Deal takes Michael to Indonesia, where he experiences a cultural journey unlike any other. Julie is particularly captivated by the people and traditions, alongside the engines and technology. The locals are equally impressed by the towering 2-meter man with a long nose. But what truly excites Michael is not just the big deals, but the big machines. Today, one of these machines will help him fulfill a long-held dream—a flight in a Eurofighter! After shedding 15 kilos and enduring 9G in a centrifuge, it’s time to find out if it was all worth it. Today is Michael’s personal D-Day.

  6. A Big Trip across the USA

    Michael Manousakis embarks on the journey of a lifetime. In California, he takes delivery of his latest deal: 13 military trucks of the "Oshkosh" brand. The used vehicle dealer plans to move the trucks with his team of drivers and mechanics to a port in Texas, from where they will be shipped overseas. A 2,000-mile trip through the desert lies ahead, one that will push everyone involved to their physical and mental limits...

  7. Pulled Over in the US

    Michael's adventurous journey enters the next round: At the Nevada state border, things get tense when one of the legendary Oshkosh trucks shows its first signs of trouble. A quick stop at the next gas station brings a surprisingly simple but ingenious solution and a turning point. But appearances are deceiving: A serious mistake by Michael leads to a heated confrontation with the local police.

  8. Flying high – A new plane for Michael?

    The Morlocks head to the Airpower air show in Zeltweg, Austria. Aviation enthusiast Michael is not only expecting top-notch entertainment for himself and his crew but, of course, he’s also secretly hoping to score another aircraft for his collection.

  9. Ciao Italia! A Sicilian Shake-Up

    The Morlocks touch down in Sicily with a Douglas DC-3, where exciting deals await. The 1944 aircraft last landed on the Italian island 60 years ago. Naturally, the Sicilian press quickly got word of it and gives Michael and his team a proper welcome...

  10. Home Stretch: The 20-Tonners Arrive

    After an impressive and exhausting journey through the U.S., the Morlocks have made it. Thirteen Oshkosh trucks and an original American school bus have arrived in Germany and are ready for pickup at the port of Bremerhaven. But how will these massive vehicles make their way from the north to the Westerwald?
