Default Pimp My Ride on MTV last night

Anybody see it?

This lad had a Escort which was brown at the back and white at the front and when the guys got under it to look at what they were playing with they found it was literally two cars welded together

Wasn't even welded properly as the guy said the sills had been welded but the floor had been glued together

I won't take that lad with me when I look at my next car

Sounds a bit like 'Jim'll Fix it'

"Dear Jim, please can you Pimp my Rusty Cut-and-Shut with some Bling wheels and a monster sounds system"

"Now then, Now then, Now then, how about we just buy you a new one??"



Hey, there's a great idea for a new show, 'Pimp my Ride - With Jimmy Saville'. He's got just the right image with all his BLING!!

You heard it here first..........

Out here its not illegal to do that, there is no MOT or anything like it, cars only have to pass a SMOG check. Its more than a bit stupid, mind you if you cause an accident due to having a shafted car you'll probably get sued - isnt it better to prevent accidents in the first place?! Bloomin Californians!!
