I watched this on ABC2 tv tonight (cos I have a tv tuner card on my desktop machine). I had seen one of these types of programs many years ago in the US called Junkyard Wars. The premise is simple enough, a theme, a time limit, and two teams to build something that solves the theme.
Tonights one was to build a monster truck to go around a track with obsticles as fast as possible. One side built a standard type of truck with a heavy rig chassis, while the other built a tube-frame chassis. The tube chassis version won by 1.something seconds on the track, with a 48.something second lap time.
I don't know why but I really like these kinds of shows, and in a way I wish I was as handy with workshop tools and skills. A typical boys response, boys and their toys. ^^
Right now I'm watching the classic Wizard of Oz. One of the greatest films ever made I think, the old films made in those days just have so much character and heart compared to so many of the newer made movies of Hollywood these days. After this will be Batman Begins. ^^
