Tinker time
The Crash Bang Clan have built a fire-fighting machine using an old Limo, the engine of a Ford Fiesta and an agricultural centrifugal pump. But after a Stanley knife slip up, the team have the ignominy of patching up the spare tank, which they deliberately holed to prevent the Supermodels using it. The Supermodels used the carcass of a caravan to mount their machine, towed by an ancient Austin Alegro and kitted out with a bespoke centrifugal pump, plumbed to two water tanks.
