Pimp My Ride UK

What a fabulous piece of entertainment .

I've only just started watching this series on TMF [I know I'm a couple of years behind] but it's just so cheesy as to be hilarious.

The thing is I'm convinced that everyone involved with it is in on the joke themselves and plays up to it.

Re: Pimp My Ride UK

The first few US ones were okay .. now both are as ridiculous as each other, doing things to cars that make no sense whatsoever!! Westwood is also far too old.

Re: Pimp My Ride UK

I prefer the UK version. I mean, the acting in both is just... wow, poor, lol.

But actual car wise the UK ones tend to be slightly more subtle! Most of the US ones I wouldn't touch with a barge pole. As for Westwood, I get his humour, he knows he's not a gangsta, just acts the way he does cause that's what he's known for!
