Anyone seen this show on BBC2 on Thursdays - mental! Saw it for 1st time last nite making these mad cars running on nowt but push power and gravity! prefere scrapheap challenge (oh hark to the days of the great egg race with prof heinz wolf's mad hair do!).
And for those that give a toss big brothers back on 24th may - rumour has it theres someone in a wheelchair in it this time round (equal opportunities n all that!). Not that I'm a couch potato or owt! ;)

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotamy!

yeah, its cool, very similar to scrapheap, but seems to be centred around the cars.

week before they were building dragsters. One of them ran the 1/4 in 16secs. Which is impressive from a car made out of allsorts.
