AS the proud owner of a battered old Rover with 170,000 miles on the clock, my dream is to go on Pimp My Ride UK.

And last night's episode sealed it for me - this may just be the best show ever.

Olympic games hopeful Hannah dropped off her 1991 Kia Pride with trepidation - all old car owners know this feeling.

Much like grandparents, old bangers need to be handled gently in a certain way to ensure the door doesn't drop off or stall at every junction.

But she needn't have feared - the Pimp My Ride boys did her proud and created a chariot fit for a winner.

The engine was replaced and the whole car was given a lick of yellow/tangerine pearly paint.

And - imagine this, girls - inside they'd fitted a nail bar and spray tanning machine in the boot.

Possibly the best car in the world!

The show is like Jim'll Fix It for drivers. OK, presenter Tim Westwood is kind of ridiculous with his gangsta persona "innit", even though his dad's a bishop.

But once you get over that, the show is pure entertainment - there's just something inherently funny about seeing a clapped-out Nissan Sunny getting the rude boy once-over.

So I'm off to write my application to the show right now - I wonder if they'll be able to fit a jacuzzi, plasma TV and disco ball in the back seat?
