Supercar Megabuild on Nat Geo.
Discussion
Have a read of the description of this car on the website. No mention of it been supercharged, the power output is still 380bhp. No mention of the brakes either. All a bit strange. If you wanted £55k then you would have thought the mods would be a big selling point, seems to have all been removed.
The programme was pretty crap to be fair, no one is really that stupid to believe it happened like that. Also, why so adamant on a black car to then respray it, and the wide arches they 'designed' never saw light of day!

I saw the episode with the Dakar pile o crap where they insisted on smashing ten bails out of the CV joint to get it off the drive shaft. I am sure any basic mechanic will know there is a circlip within the joint making it just fall off. These muppets are utterly incompetant as is the idiot who thinks he knows about styling.

I saw 1 episode where they were turning a G-Wagen into some kind of pseudo armoured limo. I struggled to work out which of the 3 main protagonists was the biggest prick.
That was just dire. Even worse than the first two episodes.They nitroused it for no apparent reason, stuck a couple of layers of Kevlar onto the back of the door cards, cutting holes around the door handles and window switches and paying no attention to the door shuts, stuck plastic film on the windows and some CCTV cameras then Khan chavved it up with a fibreglass bodykit.
I reckon that at a conservative estimate they halved the value of the vehicle and with no real benefit. Khan then claimed that his company now "understood" armouring a vehicle.
What a load of absolute horses
t this programme is.I'm just a sucker for punishment and have still got it Sky+ed. 
Why did 'Mr' Kahn insist the Aston was black.....and then paint it.
The Roller drift car....just why, and when faced with a supposedly tight build schedule they clear off to Japan for 'drift lessons' half way through.
The Evoque, at least they had the sense to start off with a Cat D car, but did they really need to ship it half way round the world to find out they had done a half arsed job, and then the 'expert' journalist was from 'Fast Car' I imagine the average reader of Fast Car is just the person after a Kahn Evoque Daker wanabe, and even then I bet they would want 4 matching wheels.

I've watched a couple though - as has been said, they're so bad that they almost become 'good'.
I remember when Kahn had their old showroom in Bradford centre back in the day. As 14/15 year old car obsessed kids, we always used to ask to have a look around but they always said no. For that reason alone, I dislike them. They had some properly exotic machinery on display (as they still do) - I'm sure they had an F40, F50 and XJ220 on display at some point. Proper spoil sports!

I've managed to keep watching, but I consider it to be a comedy show now.
The G-Wagon was brilliant: So we'll bullet proof the doors, and just put some plastic film on the windows.
I've they'd added a sign on the doors which said "Hit men, please only aim for the lower body" then they'd have been ok...

Ralph recently took my through my NVQ level 3 in light vehicle maintenance. I can say that his mannerisms on the show are entirely real.
However, from what I could gather alot of it was production staff idea lead. They wanted it easy for the viewer to understand and grasp, and would come up with ideas that Ralph and the other lad just had to make work.
If Ralph had had his way, we'do still be watching episode 1 as he explains extremely detailed how something works before disappearing down a tangent... his kbowl edge is incredible.

Am I missing something here?I've never had one just fall off, always had to give them a helping hand.
