A star is born...
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

Wife was in tears:
"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.

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
