    Best one for me was Mike in a trading up episode he fitted a mechanical fuel pump, then when starting the car suggested turning on the ignition for a few seconds to prime the fuel pump?

    Strippers: cars for cash

    Modern Wheels or Classic Steals.


    I can't believe that anyone has actually watched more than 10 minutes of that garbage.

    I watched 'Strippers: cars for cash', it wasnt what I thought it was going to be about :o

    I'm interested in the modifications they make. For instance, they chipped a Porsche Boxster a couple of weeks ago increasing its power output by 20 bhp.


    MB made no mention of this to the purchaser when "selling" the car, but surely this would need to be declared to the new owner's insurers? I think it would be helpful if the programme mentioned issues like this. I wouldn't want to buy a car not being told it's been modified and then find my insurance cancelled.
