I got one. I noticed a lot of friendly competition between the English and the Americans (i.e. NERDS and Brothers in Arms). It makes the show so much better if you can pull for a particular side. How about always having an American and British team compete? It would be so much better! I felt like I was watching a football game last week(or soccer for you British) I could really see the show taking off in both countries! I think it would be great!!!

actually tom...instead of "always" a yankee and brit competetion....how about a series of shows where the teams compete in the original brit setting, then also have to compete here in the states as well!and see who does better on the overall.

Well, I like having the rivelry between the the Yanks and the Brits. I have some family in jolly ole' England and enjoy seeing them getting beaten but too bad we get cheated upon...(BIA vs NERDS). But why not put some more countries involved, hmm? Add a Japanese, Austrailan, Swedish, or even a Cuban team! Mix it up a bit! I'm still waiting for a Jr. Junkyard Wars also.... Oh, a quick word to Geo, rorw! BIA...*gags* Shave the freakin' handlebar mustaches!! Can you say mid 18th century??

Kayla and Tim- I totally agree! Watching the Brits is pretty entertaining, but mixing in a team from another country gives us viewers someone to pull for. It's just not as much fun watching two teams from the same country. I like the idea of building machines in a British junkyard and an American junkyard. I think you'd find a lot of unusual "junk" in our junkyards. Maybe the producers are considering all this. I hope so!

I really want to see a japanese team compete against a british or american team! I think it would be loads of fun

I think they should have (at least) two concurrent tournaments. 1 for North America (so us Canadians can be included) and 1 for Europe. Then at the end, the winner of NA takes on the European champ.

I think that the Dragsters episode would be much better in the USA. Imagine them finding an old Chevelle or Cuda 442 in the junkyard!!!! That would really spice things up! I'd love to see the looks on the brits when they get ahold of a US muscle car engine!
