Supercar Megabuild on Nat Geo.
Discussion
It's like a car-crash this programme, I can't help but watch it.
Last night's was quite bizarre. The 'hide' was shown in it's prelim stage using a back-street fabricator, but there was no information on the fit, presumably because the Bentley has no roof rack mounting points and there is no way the owner would let Gary and his hacksaw loose on his £200k+ motor! Leading me to believe it was done elsewhere. The car was also on a false number plate.
The staged meetings with the owner (who runs the motorshow etc) and "Mr Kahn" was even more pathetic in this episode, as the chavvy moron was trying to mix it with the country set.
The biggest cringe was when "Mr Kahn" went to a car design school to tell a student how to design cars!

Well I've watched every episode as well for some reason! The more I watch the more I can't believe Kahn and his moronic sidekick are genuine, nobody can be that much of a dick surely? Has anyone ever met him?
There is something strangely compelling about it - I think it's the fascination/curiosity of watching, in slack-jawed amazement, the various protagonists outdoing each other in awfulness.Just watching the Bentley one now, the whole premise of this seems to be Mr Kahn will be very angry, no matter what they do, despite never giving his input, other than the body kit. This has got to be almost on a par with Bernie & Mawio for poorly scripted ste. Mr Kahn just ends up coming across as a monumental bellend.
Watched the Panamera episode, that was enough for me. Dramatised reality ste.
The 'Chinese delegation' had me imagining everyone in the production office ringing every Chinese friend they had. "Jin, you have a suit don't you? Can you hold a glass of Schloer and pretend you want 10 of these stheaps?"

For some reason I find myself watching this just to see how stupid it can get. They topped themselves with the Bentley. I actually think the only thing they actually did was the suspension work and the body kit. Tricky to fake the suspension work as we saw it moving. I don't believe they actually fitted that LPG kit and the long range petrol tank I never saw actually screwed down. Fairly sure it was just placed in the boot and taken out the moment they stopped filming that bit. The hide I am sure was probably held on with bungee ropes or some temporary fixing and that would not damage the bodywork. The secure gun case that the owner was so happy with was hilarious.
I really do wonder who this program is aimed at as it seems to be for people who might like cars but don't know the slightest thing about them. I find it fairly compelling to watch it and see just how much bks they think they can pass off.

You have to admit that it is advertising for Kahn, and any advertising is good advertising.
Like any television programme, any one at all, it is totally staged, and this was rather more obvious last night. Was there ever a long range fuel tank? I do not believe that anyone would go shooting without a serious hamper, nor do I think that anyone would use a hide on the top of their car. The clay model wasn't accurate, just a TV gimmick. Nevertheless it is entertaining. Kahn has a better TV persona than Donald Trump or Lord Sugar, and I'd rather watch this than Celebrity Bake Off or Hovels under the Hammer.
By the way, is this last night's Bentley for sale on the Kahn website?

Is it though... How many ''init bruv" types can afford the ste he's selling, none. How many ultra high networths watch it, probably none. So that leaves the enthusiast, us, who think he's a monuments bell-end. His target audience don't watch niche channels like that so I think it's actually bad publicity for him.
