Default The Gadget Show

Guys,

Just in case you didnt see it, channel five next monday, the Gadget show will be testing buggies and trying to break a jumping record (probably the one I saw on record breakers when Roy Castle was alive).

I did notice that the new Cat buggy was on it so should be worth a look.

Default Well................

Yes your right, tune into The Gadget Show next Monday the 15th December at 8pm on channel 5, As you shall see myself, Leon Morrell, Andrew Carter, James Mac and Ben (rocketman haha) as we went along to film all this with The Gadget Show!!!
I'm not allowed to tell you what happened or any outcome but you shall see us teaching Suzi Perry how to drive the Schumacher Cat SX buggy, and teaching Suzi how to control the car as she attempted to jump the Cat SX and break the Guinness World Record for the longest official jump. (Not as easy as you might think!!!) Also I drive a Schumacher Mi3.5 with a Brushless motor and attempt a Fast speed run on a drag strip! We also attempt to run a Schumacher Menace Gtre 3 speed electric powered car up the drag strip with rockets attached to the rear of the car to help thrust it along when we launch the rockets!!!!
Tune in to see what happens, but Im sure you won't be disappointed with what you see and it was great fun filming it all. Looks pretty spectacular too when you have got lots of different angle shots from several tv cameras!!!!!

Above all though it will be great to see some good Rc action on the tv for everyone to tune into and watch and hopefully it might encourage more and more people to get involved in the sport!!

I dont suppose you also taught that ol' bint Perry how to actually be a decent Moto GP presenter? I hate that bird, she gets on my tits.

Might take a look at the show If I get time though, I bet something breaks on the Menace

mate i cant belive you think she's so bad .
i would rather have her doing the moto gp than some fat bloke who sweats too much...

in person she's really sound down to earth and normal not stuck up at all...

she also picked up the driving pretty well to say she had never driven anything like that before
and she managed to get my cat through a gap were the timing beems were at very high speed that was only about 2 m wide

i will also say how cold it was it was -2 all day with ice on the run way i thought my hands and feat were going to drop off lol funny stuff

Oh, I dunno. That indestructible buggy does 24kph so its "seriously nippy". I could use that round Worksop I could, it'd be faster than my B4 .

Seriously tho, I know they have to cater for the majority but why do they have to be so patronising about it.
