You missed out the aeroplane, the AC Cobra replica and the Westfield...LOL

I agree he is a bit annoying but the progs are very useful I reckon.

And he's a bleedin vet?

seen most of them, good program. But you notice on his other episodes of other vehicles he's doing it's on the ramps all clean. Bet he never uses it.

It just happened to be the one that was in best nick when they started.

I mean look at the bit where the Land Cruiser bust a spring...like those three fekwits fixed it themselves? My arse!

the Suzuki started with a major disadvantage (three wheel drive) and was the only one to finish in one piece, but of course it didn't win.

how did they buy three completely different cars, from different sellers and they all came with a winch mount

obviously a lot of work behind the scenes, but still a good laugh
