colsoop Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Anybody watch this show on Discovery ? I think its great, they take old bangers and using a combination of slave labour and design ideas from the guy called leepu they make some amazing looking creations. Coupled with a cockney mechanic from the uk it is great telly. I enjoy when they go out shopping for parts in the many market stalls, looking for engines or gaskets. Worth a look if you haven't seen it yet. 10 pm on Mondays on Discovery channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angarak Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I watch it ...its funny as hell watching them have a go at each other. Im sure leepu welds the bonnet shut on purpose to stop the mechanic getting in his way lol. I couldnt believe the red car (shown below) that was made from the biggest piece of shit ever...funny when they bought the engine, they had it running on the pavement outside the place where they were buying it from lol. They look nice on the outside, but underneath they're a mess! http://www.thedailystar.net/2006/05/13/2006-05-13__tech01.jpg http://www.thedailystar.net/2006/01/21/2006-01-21__tech01.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 An example of how they work; to remove the paint from the old car they had about 10 workers scraping it with old hacksaw blades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 It is pretty incredible what they can do, mind you the clever buggers could probably make you a plasma TV out of a sheet of glass and a baked been can;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
