Whitesupraboy2 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 seen it and all i can say is..... KIDS DONT DO DRUGS!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 It was on the other night. So he get 10k for winning big brother and spends it on a V8 engine and transmission. Then gets given a shed load more money into it too. I thought the idea of the show was to give something back to poor people who have generally been doing good for others or have had a bit of a crap life. Not sure where Bez fits in having been relatively famous and pi$$ed everything up the wall!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah I agree, the UK version is dreadful, its all so false watching them imitate the US version but just with a UK twist, however some of the work that is dont is impressive, the blue Capri they did looked good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipmunk Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah I agree, the UK version is dreadful, its all so false watching them imitate the US version but just with a UK twist, however some of the work that is dont is impressive, the blue Capri they did looked good and this is the Capri I believe ended up on the Guildford cruise with everyone going ooh & aah , until the poor owner couldn't start the damn car to go home.

Bobbeh Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I dont recall them doing any engine work on it, just the inside and out.. so cant blame them for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipmunk Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Wasn't hinting or blaming them for it. £20k of body/interior mods , but still the same old clapped out engine underneath - brilliant ! much the same like the Moggy they did , flash looking car until you pop the bonnet and find a dinky toy engine inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 BTW... The morris broke down as well, the engine gave up... Now I'm sorry to say it, but if they are going to throw 20k at a car, is an extra £543 for a new engine TOO much (and yes that is how much a recon'ed morris minor engine costs, don't even ask why I know this) Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 WTF is Westwood trying to be?? He's trying to have a rude boy accent when he talks and his got his hand and fingers flying all over the place for no reason at all. I'd be scared he'd poke me in the eye, maybe the ear or even possibly the nose Isn't it the guys at Carisma who do the work?? I always thought they did styling and not engine work. And i think them polishing turds is being too nice. After watching that episode they just made it worse. If they had ripped out the chevy engine and put the taxi back to stock then that would have been better. 9 screens in the roof?? Your driving!!! When are you gonna get time to look at the roof. I think i want to watch another episode to see what sort of rubbish they're gonna turn out next, but i just don't think i could survive it.

Class One Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Tim Westwood. If ever there was an example about the positive aspects of multicultural diversity then he's your man......NOT! Shoot the cnut dead next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Isn't it the guys at Carisma who do the work?? I always thought they did styling and not engine work. Yes. Maybe that's why you don't see them doing much with any of the engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Shoot the cnut dead next time. So I take it you'd love one day to pull him over then Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 When I sat in the back of the taxi, the 42" plasma screen is so close you go blind. lol I kept kicking the 6 x 9 speakers near the floor because they are right by your feet. oh nightmare. Not very good at all. exactly what Bez didnt want. Was suppose to practical as he takes his kids out in it alot. When you sitting in the drivers sit you cant even see the back. Anyways like I said be my post before. wont be like that ofr long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
