RedM Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I have spent far too many hours this weekend watching TMF's Pimp My Ride Weekend. I now want a snooker table in my boot and a chandalier in place of headlights. I also want to say things like "Yo, dog" etc etc. Am I alone on this?

SupraTT2004 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 PMR US rules PMR UK cr*p. westwood. stick with your D.J ing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irfan_habib Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I agree, the US version is so much better! Don't know what Westwood is trying to do on the UK one, but it just looks way too scripted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Anyone seen the episode where they took an old Fairlane and turned it into an SUV? Mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymanuk Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 PMR US - is hosted brilliantly with X. He pulls it off and your know he walks the walk and talks the talk. Westwood looks like a grade A nerd trying to talk and walk like X-zibit. We need someone on there like that fits like X does. Westwood reminds me of Ronin keating in an older form He should stick to DJ'ing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Amercians are always better at acting than the english anyways. they always OTT, which is what means it better. IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 The US episodes are great because the people that are working on the cars are characters - they are just funny naturally. The UK guys at Charisma, well, haven't got an ounce of it. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I spent most of yesterday watching American Chopper, which is sad as I am not even into bikes. I do love the custom stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 American Chopper is cool Westwood is a fool... Holler at your Boy, The way he says that I just want to die...

Kopite Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Westwood needs shootin! He sounds like he's doped up on that show, didn't like him much before he did PMR UK, can't stand him now! The American one's a lot better, just wish they wouldn't put flames on every car!! I liked the Dodge (i think) truck that they put the pool table in, think the Mustang was nice too. I'm watchin American Hotrod instead these days, think that's a quality programme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Come on, enough of the Westwood bashing... He is responsible of introducing Hip Hop (and it's culture) to this country.. and has been promoting it as a lifestyle for the last thirty years... and were would we be without it? The man is a legend and an institution... OK, so this particular TV outing is a bit cringy, compared to his slick US counterpart... he's still 'the man'....

RedM Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Yes, by the miracle of.... not touching the Fairlane and buying a brand new SUV -Ian Did they really do that? I only came in at the end of the show and was gobsmacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymanuk Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 American Chopper, Monster Garage rock! I am not in to choppers as they make too much noise but no speed to match... I would love to see a jap version of pimp my ride I have to agree the lack of characters in the UK version is what makes it boring to watch. The people in the custom shop are unfortunately dull in comparision to the US - take a look at mad mike, big dane. The uk guys remind me of the owner of westcoast customs that short white guy. He says hardly anything but at least he tries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
