MarvinsMom Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 what a terrible sounding program, thank god I've not come across that before!! brickwall and Banger Kenny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I remember watching this, either as a repeat (on M&M possibly) or when it was first broadcast. Was Brendan Coogan in another crap motoring programme? There was a run of bad motoring television in the late 1990s and early 2000s, no one remembers the crap Scottish motoring show 'Wheel Nuts' with Kaye Adams, which is largely absent from the internet apart from an IMDB stub and this stock image. mercedade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston Martin Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 It was around the time that Men and Motors had 4 different shows, all seemingly presented by Twat Hammond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbaldy Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I fear your eyes may be damaged for ever now, this is why I drag myself to work every day even when I'm ill, it beats the hell out of having to watch shit like this. Supernaut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucedoctor Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 There used to be some shit on Sky 1 called summat like Vroom. One of their "tests" was how far away the stereo could be heard. I think yer man with the ears was on it too. fred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gricer Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Brendan Coogan was very nearly a Top Gear presenter. Except he lost his licence for DD. A career-limiting move at the paragon of moral virtue that is the BBC. fred, Twiggy, Justin Case and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Thanks for posting that, my evening's viewing sorted. Just one thing before I start though, is there even a whiff of irony anywhere in the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 There used to be some shit on Sky 1 called summat like Vroom. One of their "tests" was how far away the stereo could be heard. I think yer man with the ears was on it too. You're right, it was relegated to either Sky3, M&M or Ftn when they were on Freeview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I've yet to sample this Hirst but do welcome the return of your occasional review of television programmes. In light of this mention of obscure car shows from the past couple of decades, I once did a job with a fella called Adrian Simpson, who briefly hosted Fifth Gear and even more briefly hosted Top Gear; so brief in fact that he's not even mentioned in the Former Presenters of Top Gear list, which is actually a whole separate page to the other two pages about Top Gear on Wikipedia. Funnily enough, Brendan Coogan does get a mention. For those of you who may have forgotten who he was, here's a photo of him looking cool in a leather jacket. It's lifted from a Cancer charity website mentioning something about his involvement in their 'world's biggest bra' fundraising stunt. Presumably he was offering to be the content, as on the day I met him, he was a complete MASSIVE TIT. Three memories still stay with me: 1) He arrived and promptly started asking everyone on set if they had a battery for a Nokia non-ironically, presumably having never seen I'm Alan Partridge. 2) He had an Astra hire car and started whining on about the non self-cancelling indicators. You're not on TG now, mate, you're on a pilot for an afternoon TV show about whether people should move house or renovate, which you end up not getting the gig for, presumably because...... 3) .....you openly deride the houses chosen as the options to move in to, saying "I can't put my name against these choices", like the programme made was ever going to be remembered (other than by me). As an aside, Anna Ryder Richardson was there co-presenting that day (I had a semi infatuation with her at the time, complete with bawdy nickname which was a play on her surname) and was excellent in comparison. Name droppin' like a Mo-Fo. cobblers, flat4alfa, Rusty_Rocket and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinmasters Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I rarely swear on here, but fuck me, that was terrible. I watched the whole episode, and the flashing graphics have worn me out. Made in 2001? I'd assumed it was at least five years earlier than that, with the drum & bass, hair cuts, and puffa jackets. In the 'Onslow's Bike' feature they managed to say he'd used parts from a Rover SDi and a Robin Reliant. I could barely watch the spotty oik with the 306 explaining to the female presenter why he needed tinted windows for 'da laydeez'. 'Now it's time for this week's bad boy''My name's Ricky, and I drive a Vauxhall Corsa'... with a hundred-weight of body kit and no mention of any engine modifications.

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 This is awesome. I could barely watch the spotty oik with the 306 explaining to the female presenter why he needed tinted windows for 'da laydeez'. That was the best bit! I had to keep skipping back to watch it again, if only for the presenter's "...riiiight..." as the 'Mad Punter' starts explaining the importance of blacked out windows in his stealth sexual harassment chamber. "I'm Carnage's roving reporter - apparently the only one - and my sections are presented as if I'm the guy from the old 'Brilliant!' sketches on The Fast Show, except the things I say are actually more stupid" This bit had me in tears.

Cheezey Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I remember a terrible motoring program where the object was to help a member of the public save thousands by buying a at car auction. It was hosted by a motoring 'expert' who was more like an annoying know it all neighbour. Most of the time he bought the person some high mileage tatty rubbish. Does anyone else remember it? I can't remember the name of the program or presenter. For Fiats Sake, Mr A Lawrence and Chris2cv 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the name of the program or presenter.I remember it but can't think of the name!! I remember he couldn't say Audi properly and the "punter" on the show gave him a requisite of the vehicle like, Must have 5 doorsBe under £600Petrol engineNot blueNot FrenchLowish milage Few toys He presented them with a base model 3 door pug diesel in blue that had been around the Galaxy collecting a cat D marker on its way for £1100!! Only thing I gleaned from the show was don't let someone's dodgy uncle buy you something from the auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-T Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I remember that! My favourite one was when the punter asked for a family car but something sporty. So what did he choose? A Golf GTI? A Focus ST? Oh no...what he got was a Mk2 Mondeo Zetec...all he kept banging on about was the fact that it had a boot spoiler. Understandably Mr Punter was less than impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TataBobu Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 no one remembers the crap Scottish motoring show 'Wheel Nuts' with Kaye Adams I remember that shitty show!
