Tim & Garry: Because we had to do it twice. Because we couldn't put the servo under the bonnet because of temperatures and EMC shielding. It was difficult. You try it.

J: Well...if I had a busted airplane & Ford Aerostar I would. On second thought...I probably wouldn't. Was there any worries on your part of facing the Chaos Crew? Having to go against a team with experience must have been a little initmidating.

T&G: Much trepidation, but luckily Tim didn't quite twig in adavnce just what awesome scrap monsters they were ~ until we beat them.

J: Definately your team's advantage...confidence, that is. You could really tell from watching that you guys knew the drill. To what do you attribute your winning ways?

T&G: Team work, focus, ability to sweat, brains, talent, thick skin, Tim's thinness, my fatness, good experts, rapport with the crew, Jaguar support (nice wheels)

J: Let me ask some challenge specific questions. Did you fear the home made fan in your rubbish vacuum?

T&G: No questions on reliability, mainly over it keeping its very good balance state and whether it would throw a rock or something through the casing and remove part of my body. The line on TV about it bending was rubbish, we just damaged the casing which was peperring me with painful shrapnel.

J: I love it when the truth comes out! Did you know your crane would be able to withstand the stuff you had to lift?

T&G: The crane had been proof tested on the safety day, we knew it was fab. The only untested bit was the wire hawser and one of the safety catch bolts which we bent. The rear tyre was more of a concern, being down to the canvas and suffering Shane's outrageous driving technique.

J: What about that drill? Was it going to hold? Obviously it did, but what about at build time?

T&G: We had no idea. Our most excellent expert thought so. The thrust bearing was the bee's knees though.

J: The jousting challenge sounded impossible. Did you feel the same way?

T&G: Na, piece of cake, Tim used to do this stuff all the time. The real difficult bit was driving the damn thing from 1/2 a mile away and Garry keeping his own frightful impatience under control (failed).

J: Were you confident that you would be able to beat the Megalomaniacs? It must have seemed just a tad intimidating to face a team that had so much more experience...

T&G: Cautiously optimistic and knew we'd give them a run for their money. We were more relaxed by then as we'd achieved our stated ambition.

J: Normally I end these interviews by asking if you would take part again but we know that you will. As long as there is another series (which looks promising!). So, my final question to you will be about being recognized. Have you had any celebrity-like encounters?

T&G: You're it. ~ rubbish local newspaper articles, kids in the supermarket and a couple of wierd stalker types.
