Default Leepu and Bernie

I quite by accident stumbled upon not one but two shows starring Leepu and Bernie Wiki reference. Bangla Bangers and Chop Shop:London are the shows and they follow Leepu, with a very long last name who is a Bangladeshi and Bernie, a Brit.

Apparently Leepu is very famous custom car designer in Bangladesh who turns wrecks into show cars in both shows, bangers is in Bangladesh and CS is in the UK.

Bernie is a famous car mechanic/engineer in the UK.

I can't say that I am a big fan of the designs, but I do love the show, I find the clash of personalities to be quite humorous most of the time.

It's on Discovery HDT. It's an interesting car show.

I have infact seen CS many times. I do find it to be quite
entertaining. It is like American Chopper only with the
annoying accents.

Now I will give them props on what they do, and how they
do it, but I am still trying to figure out exactly what kind of
drugs they are taking to come up with some of the designs.

Most of the time, I will watch it with the sound muted, since
90% of the show is just a bunch of BEEP BEEP BEEP, because
neither one of the main guys seems to know a proper way
to express their frustration in a civilized manner.

I think I will stick to TOP GEAR and PIMP MY RIDE or
maybe even Unique Whips. At least on those shows I have a
general idea of the cars that are being worked on.

But like I said, it is entertaining.

Later !!!

got to like any car designer who meditates while he designs, employs kids as auto body specialists and drives 7 hours to get a used piece of flex pipe for an exhaust. Then builds the whole thing with the help of all those people with their little hammers. How they ever get anything smooth and straight is a tribute to hammering.

Pimp my ride doesn't stand a chance. Now I know why I keep investing in the greater India energy fund.
