In Australia we've just seen the snowplow episode (series 4) where they take a derelict open cab GMC CCKW with a snowplow and wind up trashing it (don't they always?)

Did anyone else catch it?

Default Never miss it

as there's usually a big bang involved somewhere in each episode. One of my favourites was testing the stopping power of water on bullets. They tested everything from a musket ball to a .50 cal. round, the results were rather surprising (and dramatic). My first thought on seeing the truck in the snow-plough episode was 'man, I'll bet there are some MLU guys that would love to get ahold of that!'

Cheers, Dave

But not after what they did to it.

Default Waste

And what's more, the attitude of Kari towards the truck ALMOST put me off her.

I think I'll recover though.

Now, post a picture of the derelict open cab GMC CCKW with a snowplow and I'll get really excited. . .
