That’s crazy: MTV UK is going to pimp…a Fiat Panda! What the f…! They are going to put £20,000 (my very rough estimate of full costs) on a car that was not worth that as it was just out of the factory. But then, that’s the concept of the show on both sides of the Atlantic.

Amusingly, when the host introduced the episode, he was making a point that manufacturers use to name their cars from “cool” fast / mean animals (jaguar, mustang, viper) and then came the conclusion:

they called it the Panda…because it’s nearly extinct

So funny.

To go back to the point I made earlier, another cultural difference: you won’t hear Iron Maiden in the US version. That’s also funny how the guys editing the soundtracks on MTV / VH1 shows have like ten CD (and that’s a maximum), of which is the excellent JET’s Get Born (MTV loves Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Take it or leave it and Cold Hard Bitch).
