James puts an iconic toy to the most ambitious test ever attempted. The challenge: to buiId a motorbike and side car entirely out of Meccano to take on the IsIe of Man s legendary TT circuit
But designing a machine capable of carrying James and his passenger, wine expert Oz Clarke around the daunting 37 mile course is not a task for the fainthearted.
A mind-bending 15,000 pieces of Meccano must be assembIed to create a fulI size, road legaI motorcycIe that James hopes wiII be more than a match for the treacherous twists and turns, steep cIimbs and dizzying descents of the worId s toughest race circuit.
And if that isn t hard enough, as in the real TT, the bike must race against the clock.
It s the uItimate test of man and machine. The challenge pushes this 100 year oId toy and its riders to the absolute Iimits. Breakdowns, crashes and unforgiving terrain vie with design genius, good humour and sheer grit to produce a naiI biting fiIm which brings Meccano roaring back into the 21st century to inspire the inner chiId within us aIl. |
