David and Jay hang out with lawnmower racers and help Dougie with his vintage tractor.

David and Jay meet a couple who have transformed lawnmowers into race vehicles, but can they help ambitious Dougie with his vintage tractor?

David and Jay are at the Kelsall Steam and Vintage Rally in Cheshire, where they are on a mission to meet like-minded tinkerers.

They meet with 17-year-old Dougie, who has a passion for restoring old farm vehicles. He arrives with his latest project, a Ferguson Massey tractor called Fergie that he wants to make sound as good as it looks. Mechanical expert Allan teaches Dougie how to take apart his engine and what to look for.

Meanwhile, David and Jay meet with Dionne, who is mad about mosaics. She reveals some of her proudest works and gives the pair a brief tutorial on how to cut glass and tiles and the basics of mosaic work.

Finally, David and Jay head off to meet a couple who are passionate about lawnmower racing. After a demonstration, they reveal what draws them to this extreme sport.
