yes a flood of emails, no i never got a call i got an email as i did not provide no number and the email said to call someone, was just looking for it in my inbox, but i can not find it or remember the persons name, but i have deejayed once already with westwood and he was kind of cool, think he was a little paranoid at the time as it was a proper crowd of full wannabe young rapping gangsters, so he was probably scared of getting shot, the most he would get from me if he knocked on my door would be, Hello!

westwood is a nob! he sounds ok on radio when u cant see his face, but when u get to see that ugly mutt u feel like punching him :evil:

e30's do not need to get pimped they look good as they are! although i like bootymans bitch which is not pimped but highly modified :D

just stick a m-tec kit on a e30 and some nice wide 16's and your car is gonna look its best! winkeye

I have done work for jamie shaw for a number of years now (going back to his blue r5 used by "ali g") and the more publicity the guy gets, the more he turns into a prize cock.

He used to be a good bloke, now just thinks the world owes him something. Waster.

Does his nose look that big in real life! Or does it grow everytime he lies "Yes, mate your cars finished and it looks pukka"

Watched MTV last night and they Pimped a '57 Chevy Bel-air... and to be honest, even with massive 20" crome rims, they made a bloody good job of it. I would have been proud to be the owner of that (although, not in pink and white!)

Pimp UK is SHIT compared to the US version.

Pimp my ride is just piss poor compared to Overhaulin', now theres a show that does things properly.

Firstly the start off with a cool old car, then they restore it properlyand add in some seriously cool custom touches from Chip Foose, and custom machine some big f**k off rims that are in keeping with the car.

This is the only show of it's type that produces a car at the end of it that you would really want to own.

Agreed, they do a proper job of the car, unlike pimp my ride, where you can still see the rusty brakes through the 30" chromies!

gotta admit overhaulin's end product looks cool, but they've gotta cut corners to get it done in a week. just my 2 cents :wink:

Im all for mentally ill people given the opportunity to earn a decent living for themselves but preferably not as TV presenters. I can't stand hearing his voice nevermind looking at his fucking annoying face so I won't be watching. What channel is it on anyway? hopefully I don't have it.

over haulin' look awesome (opens bit torrent).... As for westwood, I can only think of one word and my vision gets blurred with red when I hear his name... GIMP! He is the sum of pretty much everything I hate in famous people. He is a fake, scripted wanna be, using an image that isnt his own to make him self someone he is not and is bodging his way through a career. He speaks like a knob (cos its cool init), dressed like a prick and is the true meaning of the word chav scum. If I had my way, not only would he be banned from TV, he would be banned form life altogether! LOL

*breathes....* Rant over. Hope someone can host is and or tell me when and where this will be on - I do enjoy screaming "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO SOMETHING SO PRETTY YOU GIMP" at the TV on a sunday night... will make a change to drewling over the cars on top gear! LOL

Pimp My Ride UK is on MTV (sky channel 340) on Sunday 30th May

Im thinking of turning the sound off and putting the latest Gorilaz CD on while watching it so I dont have to listen to westwood trying to sound like a gangster.

I suppose the only consolation will be that the car they use will be a shed and not a decent car

NO WAY the clue is in the title PIMP my ride. they are trying to do the most over the top car they can.

Chip designs and builds the coolest cars on the planet and I would happy for him to have a crack at my car. I would really love to see what he would do to a Mk1 Cortina (another of my favorite cars)

perhaps kingcruiser should apply next time, save him wasting his cash, better to have mtv do that, and at least he would have an excuse for the state of his car....
