Only saw the first 3 episodes . so cant wait till the morning .

I dont get it though .

The episode isn,t over yet qnd they are showing it back to back .

I thought they are going to wait to christmas Day.

Still though im not complaining .

Good man Tony, Sure Pete will be ok, must have been the stress of working with Mark Evans that did it :/

Loved the program and thanks to the g/f Ruth who told  me it was on all day i was able to record it on 2 tapes. She was supprise how good it was too but as it was informative and fun anyone could have enjoyed it.

She also said (what i was thinking too) that there wasnt enough playing at the end. Sit through 6 hours of the build then only 10 mins play was a big disapointment, he didnt even use the lockers  :x
or winch, lights, articulation - must have missed some other too.....

The other project was his own rebuild. I'd have thought that he had little time to get anything done as the 100 was behind time.

I thought he presented it very well. Although I've watched a couple of his series on Discovery. In fact my SWTSMBO sat through quite a few episodes and commented on some parts of the rebuild. So Mark may well have contributed to her assimilation.

Anyone know where he got his castor correcting radius arms from? Or the cranked rears?

£800.00 just to galvanise the chassis  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

I had a Landie with an MOT for that :D  :D  :D  :D

Still apparently a lot of it was his own money :wink:  and his own project

Jealous, who me :evil:  :twisted:

Well he used to be a vet so his new job must pay more and he's always in demand for this sort of program.
