what a bunch of twits.

fair dinkum...

that money would be better spent digging graves for those poor sods.

I wish there was an Aussie 'habib's chops' shop made locally.

How many stolen/rebirthed WRX STIs can fit into a Lebanon-bound shipping container?!?

The chopped cars then get made into crazy Hezbollah humvees in the mountains around Beirut.

[I've only ever seen this when in Europe; never locally. Does Foxtel even carry it?]

that looks awful!!
sure many people might like the idea more powerful engine in any small car, but to changed its looks and make it hideous as that....... what were they thinking!!

What a ****ing waste of money and a good car! That's AWFUL!!

They should be truly ashamed of themselves.

I used to catch Chopshop (on cable) when I lived o/s and man the stuff they turn out is hideous, but that's the whole point of the show... "awl' rite guvna"

OMFG

If I worked there & done the driveline conversion & then seen this blind halfwit take to it with a grinder.

I'd pack up tools & leave!

Cause that would save me the embarrassment & total humiliation at the reveal!! How can you honestly be proud of building a POS like that.

Even the Russians built better looking cars in the height of the cold war! (& thats saying something!)

There just isn't enough words in all the world to describe how f#%ked up that car looks. God must be punishing him with a talent like that!

Look at some of the peoples faces in the crowd!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the race at the end! 300hp? yeah right! It only beat the R32 by a couple of car lengths!!!!!

He could have saved his coin, brought a GTI, tuned it & still walk out with change & still have a R32 beater!

Infact. I'd line my banger up against it!

Can someone say OWNED!!!

P.S. I'd donate that car to "top gear" for them to run a bus over, blow it up, smash it, drop a caravan on it, drop it off a building or use it as a stand to hold the worlds most powerful nuclear, hydrogen mushroom clouded mother****er BOMB & set it off!!!!!!!!!!!!

what annoys me the most, is that he gets it half decent, and then when it comes to the final details, he tarts it up like any kid would with no taste.

He's a twit and i wonder how that "cockney" mechanic begs the buyers to go through with it.
