"This is a show
for anyone who’s ever wondered – how does that work? We’re bringing guerrilla
engineering to a new audience in a brand new format to get inside great,
hulking vehicles and completely transform them into something else using
whatever means and materials are to hand. Viewers will love the feats of
engineering, the creative thinking, and the rivalry of two charismatic
teams."

that has caused a little controversy within the ranks of the true Scrapheap
vets, a little like a Sunday newspaper 'sell my soul' than scrapheap reality,
all the same well worth a read.

Heavy Duty Work
The reason that Channel 4 / RDF Television contacted me is because my work with Liebherr involves working with tonnes of steel and hydraulic control systems. Liebherr have manufactured the hydraulic demolition machine that was used in front of the World media for the UK Wembley Stadium demolition project and achieved it's goal with ease. The machine nicknamed as 'Goliath' by the public is similar to the Chaos Crew 'Muncher' that I designed but much MUCH MUCH BIGGER ! This is me on the machine.
