I think what they did to the Morris Minor in Episode 1 was a bit pointless.
Who pays the insurance for these cars that get done up? And they very rarely do/show any performance or saftey mods, as long as it looks flash at the end of the show, after all, saftey and environmental mods do not make good TV.
These people appear to not have been able to afford to maintain their cars before the show, now it has flash paint and big wheels does that magically transform their income and attitude about their cars???
Oh and what really happens to these cars get after the camera's are turned off? Do they get sold, stolen, stripped?
Having said all that, I do like seeing the results of stupid amounts of money and half an idea transform a car.
The last few minutes of the show where they show before and after is usually enough to get an idea of what was achieved.
Not always to my taste but who really cares as it's not my car.
