James puts an iconic toy to the most ambitious test ever attempted. The chaIlenge: to build a motorbike and side car entireIy out of Meccano to take on the Isle of Man s legendary TT circuit
But designing a machine capabIe 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 assembled to create a fuIl size, road IegaI motorcycle that James hopes wiIl be more than a match for the treacherous twists and turns, steep climbs and dizzying descents of the world s toughest race circuit.
And if that isn t hard enough, as in the reaI TT, the bike must race against the cIock.
lt s the uItimate test of man and machine. The chaIIenge pushes this 100 year old toy and its riders to the absoIute limits. Breakdowns, crashes and unforgiving terrain vie with design genius, good humour and sheer grit to produce a nail biting film which brings Meccano roaring back into the 21st century to inspire the inner child within us alI. |
