I enjoy "JYW" but only on a light side of things...  do you honestly think
that show is for real??? "hey guys... look at this V8 motor I found...
whatda know... it runs with only 5 minutes of work!", everything always
always works out, the expert that helps that teams have a pre-concieved
design with all the necessary stuff planted in the "junk yard" - nice to
watch the work that goes on, which is for the most part pretty good.

I never miss a show, but I take it with a grain of salt too...

Has anyonew seen the TV program "Junkyard Wars"?
I'm curious as to what the backyard mechanics on this list think of it.
Its a program where 2 teams of four people have to put together some king of
contraption
in 10
hours by hunting components down in a huge scrapyard.
Each team has a full workshop to make use of.
Some projects have been: an amphibious vehicle, a dragster, a hovercraft, a
medieval
catapult,
a cannon etc.
If you have not seen it and are into tinkeriing, its a fascinating program.
