Scrapheap challenge
It had to be brought up again this week so might aswell do it!
What were the cops thinking!!!! I was practically shouting at the telly! I've spoken to 'Big Andy' a few times, might ask him what
the hell he was thinking!(maybe not!  )
I felt sorry for the red team (forgotten their name), not plumbing thier fuel system properly in that big rush. Did i see the bikers upgrade their
engine with side/downdraught carbs?
I'm not going to even mention the mini...

I didn't realise they put a deseasel in it until today. They would have gained a few more marks from me had they not done that!

Missed it tonight, but I can't really see why the women (and one bloke) made their mini. Seeing as most challenges in Scrapheap Challenge tend
to involve a manouvrable vehicle that can get over some tricky terrain, a car with hardly any ground clearance and a very long wheelbase seems like a
strange choice!
As I say, I didn't see it tonight, what did they have to do?

Off road hillclimbing! Looked like it may have been on off the national trialing climbs for cars like that little two seater they showed.

The most telling bit of it all though...
This week's expert Julian Fack in his Facksimile had trundled right to the top without any effort, no doubt.
You don't get to be Champion for nowt I guess.
The Scottish lot were embarrasing again.
The winners must surely be Bowser's crew or the Chaos lads ?

My money's on the Chaos Crew. They appear to have way better teamwork, engineering skills and general common sense than the rest of the teams.
A real shame the second V8 they fitted turned out to be knackered coupled with fueling problems.
The "Tartans" speciality seems to be standing around looking lost and confused. Did they perhaps think the object of the series was to
build the most unsuitable car to compete in? A stretch mini with a diesel engine...what were they thinking?
