    Personally i am not a fan that Woodford chap is awfull at presenting it.He spits on everything X to the Z stood for imo.I vote that they make Xzhibit present every tv show that contain a car in it but thats just wishful thinking.anyways what do people think of it compared to the U.S version which was my favorite show to watch drunk.

    No they didnt. They ruined it so there wasnt enough seats for him and his friends to go on a trip around Europe.

    the only part of those shows that i actually like is when they're building the cars... why the ten minute set up at the start, when X shows us how bad the car is... calls on womans door, who screams a lot, jumps around and hugs x, x then makes a little joke...

    then they go around the car again... to show us how bad it is again.....

    x drives off...

    break..

    so far so sh!t...

    it's entertaining stuff when they get to the garage i have to admit, the american crew are a pretty funny bunch, (the painter from the first series was the head off Snoop Dogg, and looked as stoned as him too)...

    but then they skip past that in five minutes, with the remaining ten going to that woman who screams a lot again, and hugs X again, and then screams when the crew show herthe gadgets in her car..

    she then drives off to her friends who scream a lto and hug each other...

    so i hate the pimp my ride, SHOW US MORE OF THE MODIFYING PROCESS...

    for a proper motors show watch american chopper..

    leaving the trip around Europe aside (why did they only put one seat in the back) they did do a good job on the car

    The UK one is sad because it's a missed opportunity. If they'd actually skipped trying to be American ghetto, they could have really made something great.

    It's not like the UK doesn't have a "street" culture and car mod obsession... why did the show have to choose some idiot to sound mentally challenged?

    I'm not too sure why they only put in 3. The put it in the centre of the back and had the drop down telly and playstation in it. I think they want to have a sort of sloped wall either side of this 1 seat and they couldnt have done that if there was 2 seats in the back.
