Errrm, where did the full roll cage in the caddy come from? Just seemd to appear out of nowhere. I'm guessing they had to have that fitted because the stupid plan they came up with the brace the front frame would have probably ended up injuring them. I was a bit gutted that they won that, their total ineptitude just didn't seem to deserve a win.

Mind you, the other plans weren't exactly cunning, although I liked the "chainsaw the log up and push it out of the way", nice bit of lateral thinking.

That log just neened raming with heavy weight vehicels like those.


If the american version is anything like the UK, then there is a team of engineers on hand to make sure that there is a progam. If they need to build a rollcage in the car before the event then they will stick one in off camera.

Team of engineers maybe, teams of lawyers, guaranteed. I suppose it wouldn't be that interesting to watch if all the vehicles fell apart 30 seconds into the contest!

I like the UK version of the show more. The host was weird, but more likable than the US version. Plus, there were more memorable "characters" like the hairy cop and the Brothers in Arms. The episode you mentioned was on last year in the US, by the way.
