I think I am right in saying that someone always won the race.So looking at the statistics who was the best driver over all?
 
Three different outfits won 4 races each.
The Arkansas chuggabug, Turbo terrific, Complete pussycat and the Bulletproof bomb.
Any Wacky Races aficionado knows the stats.
Dick and Muttley won one race, but were disqualified for cheating.
Only Craig Levein has a worse record........
 
Did the Anthill mob not win one ?....I think the race that Dastardly and Muttley won they were indeed disqualified. and action replay of the finish showed that they had extended the length of the car just it was going over the finishing line. These things from my childhood tend to stick in the mind.

Btw did Dastardly and Muttley ever catch the pigeon ?

The only non winner was Dastardly.

Yes. Three times. But of course there was always a surprise in store for Dastardly when he did.
I used to love the explanations of his latest inventions by that master elocutionist, Klunk.
 
I looked it up.The anthill mob were on top ,because they had more second and third places.
 
My heroes were the Slag Brothers, Rock and Gravel.
Belting each other on the napper with their clubs.

I can actually remember them winning and Dq'd as well.. Amazing how random things stick around.

Thanks for the thread. Got me remembering all sortsa stuff.
 
The Arkansas Chuggabug with Luke and Blubber Bear.I think it was about this time that I cottoned on that Arkansas was pronounced Arkensaw.

I've got a mate who got tagged with the nickname 'Klunk'. It was due to him slavering utter shite that nobody could understand
 
It's amazing how these things stay with some folk into adulthood.
I have a mate, a joiner, installed a new kitchen for me when we moved house a couple of years ago.
When it was finished he asked if I was happy with the work.
I said it was spot on.
He pointed to his chest and said ' medal, medal, medal'.
It took me about 5 minutes to stop laughing.
He used to do it back in the 70's when we were apprentices.
He was 61 this time around.

Yeah I remember them too. Captain caveman, captain pugwash, captain scarlet, rainbow... Wombles?

Amazing how things stick around, I think I'm younger than most in here and the same programs were watched by us.
they don't watch them anymore though.. In fact most stuff we watched would cause an uproar probably nowadays.

When I was working, if we had to put on our best uniform for a big doo we were told to wear our medals, or as we referred to them, 'Muttleys'. None of the younger ones knew what the hell we were on about
 
Captain Pugwash.A whole series with characters named after sex toys.How they got away with it gawd knows.
 
And the allegations had at least one newspaper pay damages to the creator of Pugwash iirc?
 
Turbo Terrific got a mention!
Peter Perfects motor .
As all Wacky aficionados should know!
