Has anyone seen this show, the cars they make are so terrible to look at. I think it's clever and a lot of work goes into them but seriously. Anyway it's on discovery turbo

yea the bodywork is crap if you look at some of the black ones they do it shows up just how bad they are
but when they work on them timescales they arnt going to be mint!
if they did the bodywork right they would be some awsome cars!
still not somthing id drive though lol

Saw them put a mondeo engine in a fiesta, they were of te impression it would be easier to cut the front of the mondy off and weld it to the fez rather than get conversion mounts and shafts. As a result the camber was fucking ridiculous I'm surprised it drove or was even allowed on the road

I was bidding on the "Gangster car" at Coys a couple of years ago. It had a stack dash and some nice buckets plus a few ebayable bits. Plan was to pull them out then stick the rest on ebay. I bid up to £700, it went for £750 I think.
The buyers were from a VW forum who had it run over by a monster truck at Santa Pod

I enjoyed it while it was on. It was quite funny but some of the cars were sh*tters.
David Ginola had one made for his son as his first car. Sod that imo.

That's the one. TBH, if I'd known I'd have stayed off bidding for it. There were only a couple of people bidding and they could have bought it for less
