Default Another reality car TV show...
I am stuck in the house for a few days recovering from surgery and am getting a lot of TV time in. I see this show today called "Chop Shop" and it is based in England. They are building a funky looking wide bodied BMW 3 series car for some local event. In the rear of the car the new fenders look like they add about 5 inches per side each. The part that really gets me is the wheel spacers, they are at least 4 or 5 inches wide!! There has been nothing done to make the track width grow other than these spacers. I can't wait to see the end of this when those things let go and the wheels fall off!
They are calling this a "fully built super car"!!

It looked REALLY bad. In raw metal it was bad, I can not imagine how much mud it took to make it ready for the black paint it got on it.

Eric - Are you still taking your meds!?

They're one at a time - not one handful...


Ned -- What do you really think?

On the note of new shows...While I was at Foose designs a few days ago they mentioned a new show "Hot Rod Build Off" will start airing in the US later next month.Same format as the successful "biker Build Off " series....

With Mr Foose himself as judge/adviser....

We have Chop Shop here in Australia on our cable ...and I think it is crap too..another to avoid is Beetle Crisis....

I saw that show, and that makes West Coast Customs and American chopper interesting. Seriously who picks these shows?

Now something like this would really have my interest and I would be something I would look forward to watching.
