TBH it's looking to be a st program ,disappointed .

I agree, it's awful, that poor car should have been left alone, the sound when they talk is rubbish too.

Car crash TV. That poor Quattro

I don't know why I continue to watch this ste. Every week Elo comes up with some hair brained idea to ruin a car.... Will isn't too bad and seems to have some mechanical talent, but the rest of the monkeys at TKO are scary.

Slightly O/T..... Where does the money for the so-called museum & it's exhibits come from? There's some expensive / rare cars in there, so there's a lot of money in metal on display. Is Elo some kind of eccentric millionaire?

Yep they are both strange characters and talking seems difficult for them....,
How the feck did they pick up mint quattro with that phtographic history for 1700?!!!!

[eskidavies]

Shows how interesting it was I feel asleep and missed the end,woke up rewound it and nodded off again. Note to self not to watch again.

Gave up by the first ad break of the first episode.
Hastily thrown together by a bunch of armatures.

Was it even a Quattro, looked more like a Coupe with Quattro badges on to me. From what I can remember all Quatros had flared arches. this just had standard coupe wings front and back. Looks like a bit of TV BS to me

I am actually quite enjoying it- especially the Ferrari 400 thing

It's on a par with chop shop London garage !

This is filmed at the London Motor Museum in Hayes

Chop shop crap. What a mess they made of the xj220. Bunch of clowns and self promotionalists. Won't waste my time watching any more of this nonsense.

Nuff said.

So basically getting his "TKO" team to build cars like this http://thesupercarkids.com/pimped-out-jaguar-xj220... and no doubt charging the owners a fortune for a truly one off car

I've just watched this episode off my planner... car shows shouldn't make me this angry.

A clueless idiot with more money than sense provides an 'unlimited budget' to a tasteless moron prepared to chav up a classic supercar.

I feel like banging their bloody heads together.

[ch427]

That lego brick style attachment to the roof is pure class!

Is that what they ended up doing to the 220???

FFS.

I watched the start when they were looking at the Saabs, saw the 220 when it was delivered & thought to myself - all they need to go is give it a thorough valet, get rid of the small amount of sand or whatever it was - found it hard to believe that the car had sat in the UAE for years as I have more sand in my back garden - & then hey presto.

A super car is re-born.

However it became obvious that it would get fked up somehow.

Got annoyed with the crap they were spouting so switched channels.

And now I see what the idiots did to the 220.

What a pair of clowns. Do they really think that it is now 'cool?'

Seriously?

[johnxjsc1985]

just showing that poor Jag again what a bunch of fking clowns

[johnxjsc1985]

the sooner he goes out of business the better for all decent cars.

[johnxjsc1985]

The Saab is just fking hideous and the welding on those wings.I think his Museum is now closed thankfk

[rohrl]

Who the fk ever told Elo that he has any sense of taste or style? He has all the natural eye for line and form of Leepu. Elo also doesn't seem to know as much about the cars as he suggests he does, judging by the fact that he described the Saab 96 as a 4V, when it's a V4.
