Default Chop Shop

During my time of forced holidays I am finding myself watching TV alot.

Just watching Chop Shop on Discovery Turbo..

Funny as fuck but what a bunch of bodging cunts.

Why would anyone want to buy one of those cars .?..

They retreived a BMW from the scrap yard and put that back on the road in one episode - I thought that wasn't allowed once the logbook is sent off as scrapped?

Ahh fair play.

Altho having said that, I doubt that it even got to VIC testing as it burst into flames after some dodgy welding sparks went un-noticed

I think it is entertaining, what bugs is stuff like the golf, that could have been quality but then leepu comes diving in with puke designs for the bodywork.

I really thinks he is up their as one of the best car designers in the world lol!!!

Got to give it merits for entertainment,
