I like the bit that says

"The 'Tiger Car' has had thousands of man hours spent carefully crafting the body out off sheet metal"

'Thousands of hours', if you believe the program it's knocked out in about a week.

Don't know about it being a 'Tiger Car', looks more like a 'sad walrus' from the rear.

watched the program last night and there seemed to be a bit of a continuity error...

Bernie went off on holiday and while he was away Leepu painted the garage doors...

then after Bernie got back they were trying to sort out the lights... but you can see the garage doors in the background and they aren't painted ?

I think the term for this program is 'carefully edited'

I noticed that exact same thing Dave.

It annoys me a tad that the program could in fact be very very good, but they focus far too much on the guys as some sort of "comedy duo".

No realy reason for Bernie going away to be backed with any action he took.

The car though, persoanlly I think it is very good and is a true customised chopped car like the program intends!
