I sat down when the first run started and watched it all the way though in one sitting.

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.....

But wasn,t he talkin about a 90 that would be finished in the same time .

no sign of it did you see the bikes his Kids where going to do

oh to have a workshop like that my wife would see more of the soles of my boots than of me

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?

i am thinking of going for the same front bumper as is his, they do one without the winch and means i could get rid of my battered bull bars

diesel_boy · « **Reply #13 on:** August 12, 2004, 23:23:56 »

banditman · « **Reply #14 on:** August 13, 2004, 20:40:52 »

Ã‚Â£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

and his own project

Jealous, who me

: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.

diesel_boy · « **Reply #17 on:** August 14, 2004, 11:23:30 »

SOME ONE SHOULD SEND HIM A MUD CLUB STICKER FOR IT

strapping young lad · « **Reply #18 on:** August 14, 2004, 11:45:28 »

what a coup that would be eh!

davidlandy · « **Reply #19 on:** August 15, 2004, 10:37:40 »

what a brilliant idea!

Wanderer · « **Reply #20 on:** August 15, 2004, 17:49:59 »

Make Mark an honorary member (after all it's free).
