Hi All

there was a program called bangra bangers on sky with a guy called Leepu making super cars out of bangers using only a basic tool kit in India

Well it's on again at 10 and 11 tonight called chop shop on Discovery 1 & +1 (cool name for a chanel) worth a watch if you like overhaulin or pimp but scaled down to pure talent.. :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

The thought of driving around on 6" spacers is seriously scary  :shock: You'ld at least have to take out shares in a bearing manufacturer  :lol:

At least they are descent spacers, in the last show he was using two plates with a bit of scaff tube welded in the middle :shock:

The cars he builds are more car art but some of the styling he does is amazing 8)

Not being prude, but as was pointed out the other day I cant be bothered to watch it when every other word is a four letter one :( Besides that it actually looks a good show but I have to listen to enough of that from the locals.

Have to agree. It pushes my limits too. I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again.
