Title: Junkyard Wars
Post by: TomB on October 10, 2009, 08:16:01 AM

At 6.30 pm on weekdays on ABC 2 there is a show called junyard wars. It is a poor (American) imitation of the previous Scrapheap Challenge (U.K) that they used to have on. Last night (Fri 9/10/09) they had a challenge where they had to make a bulldozer to push cars out of the way which were layed in an obstacle course. One of the competitors modified a CF cab chassis truck with a snow plough on the front and put 2 axles on the back and tank treads. It did really well.

If you missed it, ABC 2 tends to run the series and then repeat it, so no doubt it will come up again.

Its a shame they dont have it on iView  :-\

IMO the earlier series are better than the stuff with "Dicks Diamonds"

Oh By the way ABC2 Sundays  9:25 to 11:00  Scrap Heap Challenge (http://www.abc.net.au/tv/guide/abc2/200910/programs/ZY9442A009D2009-10-11T092500.htm) is also on.
