Just about the funniest thing I have seen on TV in ages, Daz the Boy Racer on "Britains Worst Driver" crying into his £10,000 after being forced to sell his car and Burberry baseball cap. I'm still laughing now.

Thumbs up

When they blew it up... that was hilarious!

"Okay I've turned the switch to armed, he are standing quite a distance from the car and I want you to press the switch marked '1'"

<Boom>

Shock and then realisation that the Daz had just blown up his own ex-car!

I bet boy racers around the country were crying and cuddling the TV at that point!

Although he might just take the £10k and do something good with it... like look after his 5 year old kid and not waste it on the Ned mobile!

Yeah... but the best bit was he had spent £15,000 on it!

Didn't look like they stripped it before it blew up either!

Haven't seen anything, me being furrin. Was this some sort of Pop Idol in reverse, with the loser having to blow his car up? Why "forced to sell it"?

Sounds hilarious

Each week the most 'improved' driver is given a free car. Last week a guy got a new Mini.

Daz 'won' this week and Quentin wouldn't give him the X Type Jag, so bought his Nova off him for £10k in cash. Then he blew it up

Anyone find the inability to drive of the people on that very worrying? How the hell do these people hold a license?

Unhappy

Yes, that's what amazed me about Chris' reply. They are rewarded for being bad??

Not exactly a socially responsible programme is it?

I caught it Sunday night when they had them driving a Volvo 240 Estate (aka a Tank) through a multi-storey car park in Milton Keynes. They left trolleys and cars around it for an obsticle course challenge.

I didn't know whether to laugh, scream or cry as most of them tried to demolish the walls on the up ramps with the Tank

Wednesday night's challenge including driving at night from A to B to C with a helper to map read. The old bloke took something like 4 1/2 hours to do the 50 miles!

actually they are rewarded for being an improved driver and the last driver left standing gets an old Lada Riva (or similar).

That car park is a scream to deal with at the best of times. I try and get my wife to park in it when we go shopping.
I'm sure that Smart Cars (office across the road from the car park) were the designers of it.

I actually felt quite sorry for the idiot, it seemed to be his whole identity in life... few questionable moral issues flying around in this program to say the least. Mind u on the bright side, could the next big winner on 'Who wants to be a millionaire' get the option of blowing up 100 hideous Max Factor cars rather than pocketing the money!

yes it was faked up, i know Daz and a lot was played up for TV, he got to strip the car before it was blown up, Throttle bodied engine, interior, bumpers were removed and got 10k cash, and he knew in advance they were blowing it up.

and as for some of the comments...would you like some vinegar for your chips?
