For the first time today I've caught some back to back episodes of the US Pimp my Ride show....

First of all :eek: at all the "WHOOOO! YEAH!!!! RAD!!! COOOOL! WICKID!" shouts. Is it written into the script that the people who's cars are being pimped have to leap around, whooping, screaming and hugging that Xzibit,l or whatever he's called. I was at most of that.

Then there's the dudes over at west coast customs. Sure they know their thing, but do they have to pep talk up everything they do? :confused: "Yeah, we're putting in TWIN 15" monitors in the headrests, 2000w of sound system power with 3 woofers in a custom box" - reply "That'll be sweet, dog!" Dog? eh?

The end product was usually OK, by my standards, but I didn't like the fact that they rarely touched the suspension or the engine. No point sticking on a " sweet, sharp, blingin' " set of 19" chromes, when it's still riding so high.

So what it really came down to was taking a shed, painting it, given it a custom interior and filling it up with I.C.E. I got bored pretty quick. :thumbdwn:

I take it you have not seen the UK version then They talk faily simiar, and it just does not sound real.

Watched one yesterday and they put new wheels and tyres on a car trouble was I think the tyres were rotation marked and they put them on the wrong way round i.e. facing backwards

Well, this was being shown on TMF, which I think at other times is just a freeview music channel. I was just flicking through and stumbled across it, then noticed it was being shown back to back.

Worst one was a really old shape Honda Civic. Best one was a ctually another Honda, but a CRX this time where they actually DID renew the engine and tarted it up a bit.

Wonder where I can catch the UK version?

yeah-thats the side we were watching the other day.

they had an old white scrap of a car in and painted it blue, put some new wheels on, put a ps2 in the back and also a fish tank with fish in!!:P

the lovely Pinky stops you from getting bored so quick

thats the only reason for watching it

why cant all girls be like her :(

The biggest load of c**p on TV next to Big Brother !!

On the subject of unecessary stupid statements, the word i've been hearing lately and is really annoying me is 'Tasty'

I work in Building services and lately this word has been uttered in my presence a number of times thankfully not referring to me as it's mainly blokes in this business. Anyway an architect said to me the other day:

'I like that light fitting you have specified but i'm looking for something a bit more tasty'. 'A bit more what ?' I said to his surprise.

Then a guy from Dorma (automatic door closures) was describing to me a door closure system suitable for sympathetic installation on a listed building i was working on. He said:

'You'll need to get a really good joiner to install this properly'. 'They will have to be a bit tasty'. I really really wanted to say 'why, are tasty joiners better ?' but I just couldn't keep a straight face

I just "obtained" the Fiat Panda UK pimp my ride! Westwood... oh dear!

Americans like to go big all the way. It ain't about performance, but more about style. 26" chromes on Caddy's, full on ICE worth well over 100K Pounds, you name it. 'Bling' Bling'.

If you don't have big shiny rims, you don't have style there.

'Bling bling'.

Did you know you can get a brand new set of 22" chrome rims for $400 in the States!!! Just have a look on ebay.com!

They wont fit !!

They wont fit !!

Just what I was thinking Might see what 17s they have though.

BLING BLING!

Yeah, she was OK on the eye.

You know If I was a big black ghetto hip hop rapper, I would be really insulted by westwood.

Westwood needs to get a mirror and realise that the scrawny white poof looking back at him is indeed him and he isnt some gangsta from east compton about to bust a cap. or whatever. Really cannot watch that show because I get so embarressed for him. What an utter "insert swear word here"

Cant stand the english version a load of ponces with toni and guy haircuts and bad selection of wolfrace alloys on every episode. I like the original pimp my ride but sick of the repeats.

They wont fit !!

They might not fit a Furby but they will fit my gi-normous Ford Explorer which i pick up next week

Ha...you think the Ford Explorer is large? That's quite small..you want large, go for a Jap Nissan Armada...THAT is huge...

Its large for this country for sure. My mate's Nissan Navara pickup looks pretty big by UK standards.

You know what they say about blokes who say their car is bigger dont you !!!!

smaller

fuel economy.

I'll second that.....

I first had the misfortune to hear him on the radio, and even if he was a big bad gangsta, he still shouldnt be doing all that s*it. I was convinced he was black for years.

What a muppet, or "scrawny white poof" as you so eloquently put it
