TG4 are channelling the ghost of Pimp My Ride in their new series Pioc Do Ride.
Áine Goggins hosts the show, where a single lad or lassie will examine the car of three other singletons to get a view of what they’re like. Then they pick one of the lucky car owners as their date.
It all sounds very simple, right? Well, no. You’re forgetting these are Irish people who are trying their best to channel their inner Gaeilgeoir. So expect a few hilarious attempts at the cúpla focail.
We reckon it’s unlikely we’ll get through an episode without hearing the phrase ‘Shaggin’ Wagon is ainm don gluaisteán seo’.
‘Would a person pick their partner based solely on their car?’ is the question most of you are probably asking. Well, ourselves and TG4 got together to check this theory out.
We put together two Tinder profiles – Carl and Dylan. Carl is a good guy with an ould chicken-chaser of a car, while Dylan drives a sweet Porsche but he is a complete arse.

We’ll reveal who had the better results next week, but for now, here are the first replies we received for both.
Well, it didn’t put her off anyway. That’s a good start.
If this lad gets more matches, we think we will just give up on humanity. What a dick…
Pioc Do Ride kicks off on TG4 Tonight at 10pm.
