    I just love this episode. Quite literally, everything in it goes wrong. The legendary bike jump, every mechanism failing, Jamie's car ramming through the gates. This is definitely one of the peaks of the show

      Grant also had a degree in electrical engineering. In the early episodes, Jamie and Adam had to hire electricians when their rigs were wired up incorrectly. The appliances in the bathtub episode was one I think.

    I remember when I was in a vehicle when the shaft did exactly this on a busy main road, it frightened me to bloody death. No flip though as it was a tipper van with 3 of us in it plus tools plus a load of chippings and logs plus the tonne and a half of woodchipper we were towing behind it, I thought that chipper had broken free at first.

    • @christopherdean1326
      @christopherdean1326 5 місяців тому

      I had something similar as well. I was driving a van with twin rear wheels, and someone left a short piece of scaffold pole lying in the road. The pole jammed between two of the rear tyres, and then hit the underside. I was doing about 60 mph and the back end of the van went up a foot or so. When I stopped, the was a big dent in the floor of the van, and some of the ceramic tiles I had in the back had been smashed. My boss even tried to blame me for it, but he had to admit it was a chance in a million accident.

    I own a van which had the drive shaft come off the back of the gearbox. It was travelling at 70mph on the motorway. (UK) The drive shaft did not dig intp the rod but bent under and locked and lifted the rear wheels causing a loss of control. It carrered across 3 lanes and rear ended a Heavy goods vehicle which was having a tyre changed. The impact pretty much destroyed it.
    However due to it's rarity I have been rebuilding it for about 10 years.

    Why are you using an airplane RC controller. I built 1/8 and 1/10 scale RC cars. We used transmitter controllers with pistol grip and wheel. Squeeze the trigger for speed and a wheel/knob for steering. Setup to control the range of steering so not twitchy like the complaints. But you knew that and used this for what more time more suspense?

    For anecdotal Porta Potty stories, this is gross. In the summer of 1982 I was supervising installations of low voltage cables and wires for CCTV, Fire Alarm and RFI Readers for access control. I arrived late on a Friday afternoon heading west for a long weekend drive. No supervisors were around the electricians packing up and leaving. I walked to the two Porta Potties stinking in the August sun. I needed to take a leak. Opening the door on the left. A pile of maggots fell out. I was surprised and staggered by the stench. An involuntary retch hit me and I hit the door of the other Porta Potty. Same condition. The maggots almost boiling out of the two potties. I ran away to my car. I vomited, it was worse than a tannery or rendering plant. My thoughts later then and now, who the hell was the last guy to use these pots of hell. I do not exaggerate the one had a maggot volcano. Mythbusters could try that but I doubt it would sell. LOL.
