He also presents the UK version of the MTV show Pimp My Ride. and the team are determined to go out in blinging style by transforming another clapped-out old banger into a head-turning ride. This week's lucky driver is Jono, who has just completed a course in events management, but fears potential clients will take one look at his battered 1979 Volkswagen Type 2 pick-up, and decide to take their business elsewhere. He admits: "People would think I'd just turned up to collect the recycling or something." Westwood thinks he's right to be worried, describing the vehicle as "a super-sized camper van with the lid cut off. It's like a giant feeding trough on wheels." However, even though the truck is so rusty - virtually every panel needs to be replaced before the makeover can even begin - the team are still convinced they can turn it into a motor to be proud of. Will an electric blue paint job, a banging stereo, and a custom-built hot-tub complete with its own generator be enough to convince Jono's would-be customers that he's a man who knows exactly how to get a party started?
