Which is exactly why I dont watch tv.

[AJLintern]

Is anyone else watching this on Channel 4? How could they do that to a classic Lotus Europa?! Very sad, looked mint - before they turned it into a hovercraft

[FourWheelDrift]

I was just about to ask the same thing, never seen the programme before so wondered what condition it was in before they got it.

B'stards...why use a car like that, why not a sierra or something

[gt5s_1985]

I saw the American version of that last year... They used a Delorean to make their hovercraft... I'm with you though - I'm not sure I'd deface a Europa...

[FourWheelDrift]

The voice over is also one of the most irritating voices I've ever heard on TV.

The TV guide also called it an Esprit

[thebluemonkey]

"x days ago this was just a classic car, now its a fully working hovercraft"

NO

x days ago it was a beautiful peice of incredible engineering with a top heritage. Now its a shitty bodged hovercraft that sinks.

[silverback mike]

I have had to turn it off....Bloody bootneck numpties.

[FourWheelDrift]

The program is a farce, I've just seen who is on next weeks "team". Ed China is one of the team, he is a very well known car modifier having worked on several TV series the latest beeing Wheeler Dealers on Discovery H & L.

He makes modified cars for a living for film & TV. www.cummfybanana.com/

I turned it off. The chav doing the voice over was annoying the f**k out of me.

Edited because I've just read the thread about annoying phrases and "getting on my tits" was mentioned quite a few times.

Time to write a letter of disatisfaction to the nobheads in charge.
Only saw a bit of it in passing to go out and recognised it as a Lotus Europa.
Cant understand just wtf they did that for!?

Bunch of spanner monkey morons.

[Pigeon]

Coming soon, Salvage Squad... restoring a Lotus Europa that some bunch of twonks had turned into a shitty bodged hovercraft that sinks.

Likewise... very sad... looked like a nice example as well...

[seafarer]

I have never understood crap like this. It's a display of wasteful destruction. They also set things on fire for no readily apparent reason. I think this program is shown on...wait for it... "The Learning Channel" in the US. They also used to have "Battle Bots" where people would make small remote control robots to destroy each other. Junkyard Wars wasn't so bad in concept, at least it was trash to begin with instead of destroying something. It's cultural decay.

Having somehow forced myself to watch last week's to the end I decided that enough was enough. I've got perfectly good doors to slam on my fingers if I want that much pain again.

Last week they used a mint Supra and turned it into a lawn mower

Yes but a Supra is hardly a rare classic like the Europa
