United-States Mini Snowmobile?!! US cable TV

In an upcoming episode of Monster Garage, the crew of mechanics are going to gut a new mini and use the engine and body to power a hi-performance Snowmobile?? Horrors!
This is right out of FRANKENSTEIN!!

I believe the show is out of the UK or Australia. They've hooked up with some crazed customizers out of California and each week they cannibalize an innocent vehicle like an old SUV and create a refuse truck which can pick up a trash receptacle and load it into the SUV.
This week they attack a cute little RED mini and turn it into some kind of rocket sled. Not for the squeamish.

This is the evil that is cable television in the US.
Sorry, gotta go the show's about to start. Tell you all about it later.

Cbudgo, you just finished watching the rerun of the white Ford Explorer garbage truck didn't you?

That Jesse James (the main conversion mechanic, who's also a customer motorcycle builder I heard) is one hell of a crazy talented motherf*****

The show is out of the US, not UK or Australia. Jesse James is from Long Beach, CA, and that is also where the Monster Garage is located. Good show, can't wait to see what they have to say about the MINI, not to mention what they do to it!
