Seems to be remote banger racing... expect to see loads of perfectly good shite wrecked....

[dollywobbler]

I didn't know you could get remote controlled Hiabs...

[uk_senator]

I see 2 Marina`s & an Ital....

The old chod seems to be reassuringly robust. Not what all the Ncrap," old cars are shit and dangerous" lot would want you to see.

I was quite impressed with how well the Lexus held up after an 80mph roll.. I expected the roof to get flattened...

Of course it is, it's all made of steel. New cars have so much floppy plastic around the ends that it's no wonder they have to be rated for survivability. Take the bumper, lights and grille off my A40 and she still looks like an A40, if a bit sad; and you could drive her into a Yaris and carry on. Take the bumper, lights and grille off a Yaris and all you can see is unprotected radiator and electrics. GR2.43 for crash resistance. Drive that into an A40 and you'll be leaving on a stretcher... while I drive the A40 away (a bit cockeyed maybe, but still game...).

What a bloody waste of subarus...... Scooters could have done with some bits of those i bet.....

[garbaldy]

The subarus looked quite tidy and plenty life left in them

 

I wonder if this Is where the scrapage cars end up

I quite enjoyed it really, It's filmed at RAF Bentwaters which is near me in Woodbridge and is also the same place as Top Gear film their stuff, The drivers will be the guys from Bickers Action, I often see their vans about.

 

Most of the cars will be from the local scrappy i would say, No doubt Whip street, Also did anyone else notice the girls lisp and that she couldn't say her "R"'s. (Not that i can talk )

[kinkersaab]

yes twigger, i noticed that too, a wee bit like vikki butler henderson....

I wouldnt be suprised if the Marina`s have been on flickr in a breakers somewhere...

 

I also noticed her R`s, I think it was the leggings though...

And a VW minivan of some kind.... Caravelle? Quite a mix, her Avantime looked well nice

Just starting now.

I don't really like this show but it seems to have few interesting motors.

Like the Simca paintball truck that was trying to hit the MGF (it failed, HGF blew the bonnet off the car and stopped play).
