Anyonme see it?

Feel sorry for the girl, they did a nice job of the car, not to my taste but she obviously liked it, what would concern me is that MTV filled it full of expensive gear, recorded it and then played it to the British public, hmm wonder how long that lot will last before it dissapears ?

And yes Tim Westwood is a t1t.

Jap2Scrap

WTF is Westwood on???? Surely a bigger w*nker cannot exist. The guy is like a parody of Ali G!

Car nicely done, though, as above, not to my taste - I too wondered how long it will remain kitted out in this piece of **** country.

Just finished watching it. I thought the car was pretty good - very hod rodish and fitted the scene she was into (surfing and all that!)

Hopefully they put some sort of alarm on it. I suppose the American PMR would have the same problem though? Fill a car full of expensive gear and filming it, might go walkies!?

Must admit westwood is a tosser. Why does he think he is black, and he is not cool at all

MadGrip

is it cool to think you are black now even if your white ????

what a complete tosser

not racist, but happy I'm white and cant pretend to be otherwise.

agree with the above , that all that stuff will be stolen and on sale very soon, very cheap

Dunno why you should think its going to get nicked in this country any more than in the US, always thought the same about the US version. They put tons of expensive stuff into those cars, it was always filmed at the same location so, many of the vehicles must have been reasonably local (by US Standards ), I shudder to think of those cars being parked up in the supermarket car park..

Yes true, but this is a small island and very desnsely populated, in the states they would have a better chance of being out somewhere where crime isnt such an issue.

Ps, I have bagsied the laptop......

I think the car appeared to have been done to a higher standard than the Us ones (Ie. fit and finish) its a shame they tried to make it too much like the Us one i hope the show lasts long enough to establish its own style.

Tim Westwood needs removing preferably from the TV screens but ill make do with the face of the earth.

At least they didnt call each other Dawg all the time !

The car did appear well done as you say as the american ones do have a few rough edges if you look closely.

come on guys its hilarious. for all the wrong reasons of course. westwood is a corker. i laugh myself to sleep with his radio show on a friday night.

THATS THE WAY ITS GOIN DOWN BABY, YEA, COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!

All that money on a paint job and the engine still knocked it's **** off plus they left all the badging and standard wing mirrors that didn't suit the style at all.

Reasonably well put together, but still a very superficial job. If only they'd make an Overhaulin' UK.

Just watched at my mates house (sky+). God that was awful. I love the nicknames of "pimp" crew

I'm sorry, but a Morris minor is unpimpable, it cannot be done....never!

Interior turned out nice. But exterior...WTF!!? Awful colour scheme. And the wheels I'm sorry but it would be impossible for those not to catch the arches when you hit a bump whilst turning.

A good comparison to the US show for pimping a classic would be that VW van. That worked out very nicely. They retained the exteriors originality and just gave it a slight personal touch (although rather concerned about the rivited aluminum patches and filler on the sills...but that's another story ). With the UK version it seems they just sprayed the most garish colour they could think of and put tacky mask painted stripes on. FFS get out the airbush and blend it properly!!

We had a debate of who "should" have presented the show, because Westwood is such a low grade geeky wannabe...we all agreed on Ian Wright as a suitable Britsh equivelent to X to the Z

Golf next time - at least that is a pimpable car

A UK overhaulin' or UK hotrod would be cool - but I really don't think many people/garages exist in the UK that are capeable of such unique, original, and quality of work. Plus the UK aftermarket parts industry is a joke compared to the states which would make the show pretty much impossoble to create in the UK.

"So work experience lad what have you got planned for the wheels?....."

Andy M3

It was painful to watch ! Esspecially when he did the bit at the end - "you have officially been pimped" - as he plucks her top - OMG. It is ****e !

Freak

what channels it on? Im assuming MTV
was working last night

Simon C

OMG I know that a well known security company supply the alarms and as such had prior warning of this.

It lasted 5 mins on my TV and I won't watch another 1 unless the sound is off. Xibit in the US show aint too bad, but Westwood for ours, noooooooooo. All I'll say is pity the drive by missed.

And yes it is shown on MTV.

Markus

A UK version of PMR! lol Tell me you're all joking when you're saying it's Tim "I'm so the *****!" Westwood presenting. Regardless of the fact he appears to have helped the rap scene in the UK, he's still a fool and should do an inverse-MJ and have some skin problem that turns his skin black, he'd then be just slightly annoying.

I like the US version of the show, yeah it's bling bling all the way, but Xibit seems to be a bit of a laugh.

It's Tim westwood alright, in all his geeky Glory

US is laugh to watch because it is rather funny, UK is a laugh just in pure pity.

We can only hope

I bet the US version is just as cringeworthy to Americans. It's all about the accents.

al3x

The whole thing seems too scripted. The bloke was going to put 18" rims on "but they didn`t fit, so we are going to put on 17" wheels on". In the US version they would chop up the car and put 22" chromes on. I did like the quality of the work though, looked smart. Westwood is a tw*t. Is he 40 or something?, looks older than he is trying to be!.

Stiver3

I agree with everyone, tim westwood needs to grow up, stop thinking he's a ''gangster rapper'' and get off out tv screens!

A Moggy would be hard work on 17's, never mind anything bigger, dont think they installed PAS !

Not seen the UK version but the US show is scripted.

Jaybird-UK

What a twatter westwood is. "she's good people" ffs


Nicely modded and the quality looked superb. done by these guys http://www.carismaautomotive.co.uk/

Please get that bloke of the program though

wez_sti

ahhh, carisma! remember them from my maxpower reading days!! they did the R5 GT that was in the Ali G film, innit!

their interiors are amazing, alot of the exteriors arent to my taste though. but each to their own as they say!
