Love that show! Stayed up till 1 am watching the marathon session last month.
Actually my wife loves it too, and will forgo Star Wars for Junkyard Wars!
I cringe at some of the things they do to some of those old vehicles. I
don't mind seeing the Ford Transits trashed (I owned one!) But the Minis in
the lake? The London Taxi they tossed aside so roughly! If they ever harass a
Herald or smash a Spit I think I'll have to write to the producers!
I'd sure love to know where that junk yard is. We're going to England
next spring and I (perhaps we) would make a special detour just to see that
place first hand. In fact I'd love to compete in that show!
Cheers, Fred
