Think it might be Power Engeneering, had the top part of Power on his shirt exposed, but looked like the bottom part has been taped over for TV

Hardly refer to a bugeye as a modern classic either. More like a modern mistake that ended up with a facelift or two

Should have done a proper classic impreza.

yea i agree should have done a classic and way over priced too.

i always think the people who buy them are given some of the money as they end up paying double what they are worth.

And i been to jap parts and he over priced too.

looked at a exhaust second hand(wasnt in that good a nick either ) he wanted £280 ended buying a new one for that money

Puts a new exhaust on, starts it up and revs the guts out of it straight away............. Poor car.

And what were they thinking of, putting those `custom' stripes down the centre.

Agree with that about Jap parts. Think he wanted £50 for a red intercooler to turbo pipe! Got one given to me in the end from someone on here.
I still haven't seen it yet, but by the sounds of it, there isn't much point.

I do like wheeler dealers though. Its given me loads of handy tips for working on some of my projects. Ed china and seems very good when they do normal cars, but when they do specialist modified cars, it reminds me of an episode of Pimp My Ride...

Signed "racing" stripes WTF is that all about, who wants a man who makes cars from skips and a used car dealer writing their names all over your bonnet?!

when you look around at scoobys on the road it absolutely amazes me what some think is a good mod for their scoob, and a couple of viper stripes is nothing compared to a blob eye i saw recently with 2 ft japanese letters on the side of it.

At the rally car show last year their was a couple of garish ones too with all manner of tat up the side of them.

puzzles me with the jap letters as it could say anything and no one except the japanese would know
