Browsing the History channel i stumble across "Leepu and Pitbull". I remember this clown form a show on channel 5 with some other clown Bernie. Horrendous mechanical skills and the most god awful cars i've seen. Now he has left London and is in the USofA!!! The guy he is partnering up with is actually using his previous works as advertisement for his skill!!!! Lets not forget the cars this guy has "created"




Now taste is a personal thing, but come on!!!!

Loved the original episode, not with Bernie,when Leepo was in India,it was all about the ingenuity and never say no, of people with a hammer,welder, and a grinder.
Watching a person on a moped go get and transport a 12 foot by 5 foot sheet of steel and beat it into a car body.
Then TV introduced Bernie,and turned it into a normal Discovery show of utter bks..

I bumped into him at car show at Excell approx. 5-6 years ago, he was just admiring the cars like everyone else.... he wasn't surrounded by people wanting autographs or anything, just your average Joe meandering about

I detest Leepu's work, but that isn't one of his. It was a guy who made it in his garage out of compressed foam.
