Programme Five

The fave challenge this week has to be the unclampable car – the most gratifying of all the MiW genius gizmos.

Watch a clip here

The guys rigged up a cute little pink Panda with the best gadgets that science can offer. The MiW-made, unclampable extras were all triggered by infrared sensors that could detect the heat of an oncoming traffic warden.

Once under attack, the little car rocked, flicked its wipers, called its owners and boomed out their voice, locked its wheel hoods and produced the most god-awful smell. That's enough to confuse and terrify the most avid traffic cop into submission. Just the ticket!

Just as well that Bas' rather over-zealous and highly dangerous propane gas flamethrower was abandoned though. A lesson for all you MiW wannabes – don't try this at home!
