Pimp My Ride UK was a thing that happened, and we let it happen. The show normally went along the lines of 'My man Dave here wasn't gettin' no love in his Nissan Sunny, but that's all about to change innit!'

Ugh.

Holy shit I completely forgot about this. They actually managed to make it way cheesier than the US show. Also you cant make a pimp my ride show without Xzibit, you just can't.

Let's do the same with the international version.

Although I admit that the 300c nose on a Dodge Ram was kind of interesting concept.

That's the least terrible of the bunch. The cheap, faux chrome rims just destroy it. In all fairness, the did do an acceptable looking Ford Anglia!

Honestly, if the rims where different and bigger overall, i'd look pretty decent, I feel like the tires are way small compared to the car, looks awkward.

What car is it anyways? I don't think its something ever sold in North America...

Tim Westwood just wasn't up to par. I actually went to a live DJ set he did in Portsmouth about a year ago and he still sounds like that. Eeesh...

I'm actually digging the 300C van. Dark red with green stripes however?

I can't comment on his talent as a DJ since I don't listen to that sorta music, but I can say he didn't have a big enough personality for the show. Xzibit works because he has a big personality that fits the cheesy over the top vibe of the show.

Yo dawg, I heard you like terrible shows so we took an already terrible one and let some Brits produce it!

That purple second last one is okay.

He's ok, just shouts 'bruv' and 'mate' a lot. Cringe. Xzibit presents himself well, he's charming and funny enough that you find yourself smiling along despite it being, as you say, utter cheese.

Ford Capri. The European Mustang of the 1970s (and early 80s).

Yeah I remember him overusing slang to try and sound "street" or whatever. Xzibit seemed to know the show was daft and play along accordingly, it helped make the show more watchable.

I'm pretty sure I walked in on my mum watching it a few times. The US version that is. Crazy town.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > KnowsAboutCars 08/25/2014 at 17:39

NOPE.

I mean a landau top on a Audi... nope. Also everything else is horrible. Pimp my Ride, the anti-class.

the front bumper looks like a tumor. And the wheels look like the shitty Canadian Tire hubcaps you can buy for five bucks.

I think if they had a lower-offset rim, it'd look better.
