Description

Alan Cartwright is a car dealer with a difference. He gets up when he wants and refuses to follow the crowd in everything he does. He may be hard-up but he only buys cars that "float his boat," and if they don't, sell he keeps them or modifies them, to dial in a little extra fun.

The team will transform both cars at the same time.

Alan is given two free cars -- something he can never turn up -- although Nick, his right-hand man, suspects they mean trouble. All he has to do is take them away for free.
