Finally we have an aussieveedubber representing us on the box. in sydney at least.
bit of a shame it's for being remiss in renovating.
no names, but watch 'DIY rescue' on tuesday at 7.30. i think. should be a laugh. my apologies in advance for dropping the victim in it. 😀
bwahahahahahahaahhaha

"Check this out darl, some bloke with a VW ripped out all his walls"

I drag myself away from the mountian of school work and sit bleary eyed down at the tele. Missed the buggy but loved the show.

The wife got the tissues out at the end. Love the house and look forward to the bucks night invite.

Craig Torrens whoi is amember of this site and is a regular in Hill Climbs, got his arse on TV on one of those home renovation show, DUY Rescue on Ch9. On the show, he put the TV hosts Leaha and Greg into his 1916cc race Beetle and took them for a tyre fryin' joy ride up his driveway! 😀

Thanks to All !!

I had the best four days of my life filming the show, and to have the Hillclimb Beetle shown on TV was fantastic !
Leah had two runs up the drive and then had to sit down for 4hours to calm her nerves.😀😀 What a great chick:thumb

All the crew were stunned when I did the first launch up the driveway, and they all thought it must have been powered by a Porsche!
I hope all enjoyed the show, the rubber is still on the driveway😀
