    I've seen the show about a dozen times. I like it but I don't quite understand it's (huge) popularity in Britain.

    I'd love to take part in a show where I'm given money to buy a clunker and do challenges with it. Make it into a boat, race it against other clunkers..

    :biglaugh: that was the one where his car filled up with water and to drain it they shot a hole in the bottom of of the floor board of the car right?

    Also the one where it was the Team of sled dogs vs the Trucks in a race to the North Pole.. that was a good one too.

    They just did a new one that was shown on Sunday where they had to drive through the Amazon and then through Bolivia and Chile on cars bought off the internet from Bolivia. Was a pretty good show.

    Racist? I thought Benny Hill was that old man who chased chicks around in his underwear to silly music.

    I love their specials. The Vietnam one was hilarious. A whole bunch of full episodes are online. Just search on google.

    yeah for me I'm more into their specials.. I'm not a car nut at all. I can work on them.. but I honestly couldnt care less about Horse Power and what v-tech 2.4 niner 6.5 liter is under the hood.

    It's a bit overrated, but still funny. I felt the Vietnam, Africa, and Polar specials were better.

    Here's part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8ROoNBuX04

    Look through the related videos for B, C, D, E, etc.
