Title: Johnny Vegas' Volcano Car.
Post by: The Mighty Elvi on 27 May 2011, 11:21
Well, I was up with the Larks this morning as I had to take my Sister's kids to school.  So I made use of her massive TV and Sky, as you do.

"Chop Shop".  :huh:  Couple of geezers from Laandan trying to make the fat one's dream car.  He wanted a MK2.  4wd and super fast.  :laugh:   So, as you do, you think Syncro/Rallye.  But oh no.

Of they pop to a scrap yard and pay £750 for a crushed Scooby.  Plan to stick engine and drivetrain onto standard 3 door Mk2.  Lots of chopping ensued.   :rolleyes:

Sadly I had to miss the final 20 minutes.

This is what they created.

I watched this years ago.
But to start it was great. Standard looking mk2 4x4 with a scooby lump.
But the stupid fat body bloke had to ruin it! Johnny wanted it looking standard so he could surprise people, but the bastard they call lepoo wasn't having none off it and cut it to f**k. I think they even used a 206 roof and pillars

Vegas had the mk5 before they were doin this, his plan sounded great, subtle styling with oodles of power, but that stupid designer totally ignored it and created summit that shoukd have stayed in the scrap yard. Cant call yourself a designer if you ignore what people want. But the engineering is impressive, even tho on one car they fitted 15 inch wheel spacers!

the title of the programme says it all, chop shop, you just knew they would butcher it

i could understand if they needed to extend the front end, but the front and rear lights, and front bumper splat things, awful

I dont know what happened to this one but i remember going to a bugjam and seeing one of their creations. Martin kemp's gangsta car. It was crushed by a monster truck. 

It was very bad, i remember someone jumping on it before it was crushed and it had about 1mm body filler one end of boot and about 10mm the other side. Left to right.
