Junkyard Wars

***Khamûl*** · 10-30-2002, 12:12 AM

Are there any other Junkyard Wars fans here? It's a series on TLC that fascinates me. I guess that's the engineer part of me. I think it's called Scrapheap Challenge in Britain. The original British version was hosted by Robert Llewellyn (did I spell that right?) from Red Dwarf and Cathy Rogers.

I've seen it just a few times; isn't it great? My favorite of those I've seen has to be the episode where they build catapaults...

I used to watch it a lot but now that they have the new hosts I don't really like it as much. I think that show that TLC has now called "Full Metal Challenge" is better, and Cathy Rogers co-hosts it.

I used to watch it but we dont get that channel anymore. I thought that british guy was really annoying. I like the one where they get guys from Miami and they build wreking crew trucks.

Jeez the A-Team used to do that every week

Yeah, I liked Robert and Cathy better too. But my favorite episode is probably the one where they built cannons. Ah, I love artillery.

Yeah. Call me childish but I love things that go boom.

I watched junkyard wars a few times. They definitely are inventive

. But I don't think I would get my hands dirty.
I like Changing Rooms (BBC Channel) and Tradin Spaces (TLC) and er...While you were out (TLC).
