• Crowning Moment of Awesome: Happens when something bodged together in just ten hours from hunks of scraps works far better than it should by the laws of reality. A notable example included a boat made from oil drums and a hearse engine made by one of the teams which outran the professional speedboat used by the camera crew
  • Also when a Pumpkin Launcher built out of scrap in 2 days, which had to be shipped across in pieces and assembled on-site, ended up winning Second Place in the US Pumpkin Throwing Tournament, who's entrants frequently used air cannons and often had a year in which to build their machines.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks: The final series. Scrapyard Challenge without either the Challenge or the Scrapyards.
  • Also the inordinate amount of ego-stroking that Dick Strawbridge (the new presenter) indulged in, taking up a lot of the focus away from the actual engineering in favour of how awesome both he and his team of experts were. A team he named after himself.
