Aircraft CarriersWith unbelievable access aboard the U.S. Navy’s huge floating fortress the John C. Stennis, this program will bring about a new awareness regarding the enormity and variety of all the systems and machinery on board – each one an Extreme Machine in their own right. We also look into a variety of other carriers from the U.S. Marines to the British Navy. We see the carriers in a variety of temperatures from the dry, burning heat of the equator to the bleak frozen temperatures of the Arctic.Car CrazyExtreme Machines is dedicated to finding out how machines work. Cars are the most popular machine on the planet; they are the machines of the 20th century. They thrill, they excite, they generate a loyalty and passion like no other machine. Car Crazy hitches a ride through the world of the automobile. We go drag racing with the world’s fastest drag racers reaching speeds of over 515 kilometres per hour in just 366 metres. We drive off road with Baja Bugs, souped-up VWs that take on the worst nature has to offer and win. And we look to the future to see where the car is heading. ChoppersExtreme Machines is dedicated to finding out how machines work. Trucks are unquestionably the giants of the road. We cover all the uses of trucks throughout this film from the serious business of transportation – almost everything we consume is at some stage transported by a truck – to the thrills and spills of truck racing, witnessing the world’s fastest truck racing a jet aircraft and truck stunts. We take a look at the New York fire brigade in action. Their trucks are so long that they need an extra driver at the back!
