Rover Concept

Musician and TV personality Jools Holland has asked Chop Shop to work their modified car magic and make him a custom recreation of the classic Jet 1, a Rover Car Company gas turbine concept car, circa 1950, that achieved a record breaking 152mph. Will Leepu's artistic integrity survive working to such a strict design brief? And can the team cope with grafting together a 50-year-old Rover 80 body shell and chassis, 60-year-old body Rover 75 body panels, with a 30-year-old Jaguar XJ6 4.2 litre engine and suspension? Jools has certainly never seen tuning like this before! This car is proving to be Chop Shop's greatest design and engineering challenge to date, and with a collective age of 140 years, this custom classic is even older than Bernie!

VW Golf

Bernie, Leepu and the Chop Chop team have landed a new commission with Guinness-swilling master of gauche, actor and comedian Johnny Vegas. He wants a mobile volcano in which he can play batman to solve all the world's ills and which will make him feel as if he's sitting on his gran's lap after she's eaten nine chilli peppers. Other than that, it's got to be a classic-shaped Volkswagen Golf - albeit an uber-powerful four wheel drive one (Johnny already drives a Golf R32). Chop Shop mechanics and panel beaters, Julian, Lee and Shaun embrace the project with wild optimism - sourcing the engine and four-wheel drive running gear from a 300hp Subaru Impreza, the like of which has found fame on the world rally stage. Trouble is, the example they've chosen has been in a major smash - in fact it's the most wrecked donor car they've ever bought. Have they finally bitten off more than they can chew ?

VW Golf

Bernie, Leepu and the Chop Shop team continue their quest to build supercars for superstars and next they turns their hands to a Volcano Car for actor and comedian Johnny Vegas. He wants a ‘mobile volcano’, an uber powerful boys toy that is based on his favourite shaped car, the classic Volkswagen Golf. Johnny already drives a Golf R32 and he wants it to eat his Chop Shop version's dust. So a four wheel drive monster begins to take shape as panel beaters Julian, Lee and Shaun source the engine and four-wheel drive running gear from a 300 horse power Subaru Impreza. If Johnny wants power, he’s certainly going to get it with that engine. But there’s a snag, the Impreza they've chosen has been in a major car crash and it’s the most mangled donor car they've ever bought. It only cost £700 but will all its bits work once they're extricated from the wreck? Will the boys be able to fit the powerful four wheel drive Subaru parts into the modest front wheel drive chassis of a VW Golf? And with Leepu not one to have his designs outdone by the mechanics, he decides to use some artistic license and alter the shape of the Volkswagen, without consulting Johnny…

The Gilded Age

The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.

Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.

In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
