Scrapheap Challenge 2007 header image

The Teams


The Turbo Taxis and expert Pete Roberts

Turbo Taxis

Our first team of have-a-go heroes are taxi drivers from Portland in Dorset. While their working lives are spent sitting down there'll be no idling time during this challenge. Captain Herman 'The German' will be in charge of scavengers Dink and Matt, both keen bike and trike enthusiasts.


The Cement Mixers and expert Iain Pentland

Cement Mixers

Revving up for the opposition is a team who know all about being outdoors in chilly weather. They're a trio of builders from Beccles in Suffolk, led by mouthy Captain Everton. Drinking tea and scavenging for scrap are Mark, who previously rebuilt two Delage sports cars, and Sam, who's into bodybuilding, bikes and keeping his hair nice.
