-I think I'm the best-looking

-mechanic in Wales.

-I hate losing.

-But I'm not going to lose!

-Women have a shopping addiction.

-I have a tools addiction.

-I'm a female mechanic. Our natural

-instinct is to be a model.

-Many people have said

-that I look like Jason Statham.

-This is not just for me,

-it's for the lads at the garage too.

-What do I think of mechanics

-who are trying to be models?

-It's not going to happen, is it?

-The glitz of the fashion world

-isn't something you'd associate...

-..with the mechanical industry.

-But that's about to change.

-The big brands are now searching

-for 'real' people...

-..to promote their products.

-Can they switch from petrol to

-picture? From garage to catwalk?

-Welcome to Ffasiwn Mecanic.

-Dylan Garner is a successful model.

-He has worked with some of the

-best-known fashion brands...

-..like Calvin Klein

-and Dolce & Gabbana.

-The big companies are looking for

-real people to sell their products.

-Every good model needs an even

-better photographer.

-My name is Kristina Banholzer.

-I'm from Felinheli and I'm

-a documentary photographer.

-I've had the privilege of

-photographing Kate and William...

-..Welsh bands,

-and comedian Tudur Owen.

-I look for personality.

-It's important that the subject's

-personality shines through.

-I look forward to transforming them.

-It will be brilliant.

-So in the next six programmes...

-..we'll be looking for the best role

-model in the industry.

-They will compete in mechanical

-and modelling challenges.

-Their performances will be judged.

-There will be laughs.

-I don't know why that came out!

-And some drama.

-Ohhh!

-Each week, the weakest

-will leave the competition.

-Until one lucky competitor wins

-the title of Ffasiwn Mecanic...

-..and a prize of 3,000.

-They will also be the face of the

-Aston Martin magazine, Vantage...

-..their photo on show at the

-JD Classics Mayfair showroom...

-..as well as spending a day

-at their Essex factory.

-They will receive

-a set of Snap-on tools...

-..and have the chance to model

-the world famous brand, Dickies.

-Great. Let's see what sort

-of mechanics we have.

-It's not easy to win

-a competition like this.

-Dylan and the team have been

-recruiting all over Wales.

-Here's a good-looking mechanic!

-Have you ever wanted to model?

-Do you want to be a model?

-Do you want to be a model?

-

-No.

-We're looking for all types

-of mechanics...

-..car mechanics, tyre fitters,

-diagnostics, marine engineers.

-We want someone to be

-the face of the industry.

-People say I look like Prince Harry.

-Maybe Ed Sheeran,

-but not Prince Harry.

-Perfection in one place!

-You don't want to hear this,

-but I've already won.

-A group of men, cars and lorries

-and I'm happy.

-I like make-up. I like to look good.

-There are girls in the competition

-too, to keep the lads on their toes.

-So, here are the ten mechanics

-who will get their hands dirty.

-They'll be competing

-for the Ffasiwn Mecanic title.

-Day 1 - and it's straight

-to the first task.

-Good morning, mechanics.

-Congratulations on reaching

-the final ten.

-During the series, you will face

-a number of tasks.

-Some will be more challenging

-than others.

-Be prepared to leave

-your comfort zone.

-Remember, you will be judged

-on your performance.

-Assessing you today, we have

-Britain's fifth best mechanic.

-Lee Pritchard.

-Your first task this morning

-is the pit stop.

-You've all seen it done

-on television.

-This year, the Williams team broke

-the record with 1.89 seconds.

-Today, it's your turn.

-There are a number of

-different jobs... one on the gun...

-..one on the tyre...

-..one on the jack.

-Once you've finished, you put your

-hand up and the car can go.

-As Lee said, there are several

-different jobs.

-It's up to you to decide

-within your team who is doing what.

-Go and get ready. Good luck!

-This is quite a nice challenge

-to start with...

-..as the mechanics divide

-into two teams.

-They won't be using their usual

-mechanical skills here.

-It's about quick thinking

-and working as a team...

-..as they choose

-who will be doing what.

-If they can understand each other!

-If they can understand each other!

-

-Which side? Any side?

-I don't understand you anyway!

-Let's have a look at the talent

-in the blue team.

-My name is Wyn Williams. I work at

-Maldwyn Williams Garage in Denbigh.

-I'm a fully qualified mechanic.

-I love doing diagnostics.

-People tell me I look like

-mechanic in Wales.

-Ooh! Bello mecanico!

-My name is Tom Watkins.

-I'm 37 years old.

-I'm from Cardiff.

-I work for Mercedes Benz.

-I try to stay clean,

-but it isn't a clean job.

-for me. I love it.

-Brynberian, Pembrokeshire.

-I'm 23 years old and I'm a mechanic

-at Garej Wyn in Crymych.

-I've always been around cars

-and tractors.

-I like to think I'm good

-with my hands.

-With that pumping action, I'd say

-you're very good with your hands.

-People think mechanics are old,

-but we are young studs.

-My name is Stephen. I'm 24 years old

-and I live in Caernarfon.

-The best parts of my body

-are my chest and my shoulders.

-I go to the gym a lot.

-I'm the type of person

-who likes a laugh and a joke.

-At home, I wear shorts and t-shirt

-or tracksuit bottoms.

-I only wear jeans if I'm on a date

-or out with the family.

-Jeans? Wow! Special!

-My name is Elgan.

-I'm from Mynachlog-ddu.

-I work as a mechanic at Garej Wyn

-in Crymych fixing cars.

-The famous person who looks most

-like me is Jim Carrey, the actor.

-Cut! Go again.

-I'm into smoothies. That's a good

-thing. They're healthy.

-They keep everything tickety-boo.

-After the smoothies,

-he'll be more tickety-poo!

-That's the blue team.

-Let's get on with the task.

-Blue team, you're to go first.

-Have you decided who is doing what?

-Have you decided who is doing what?

-

-Yes.

-Your time starts as soon as you

-cross the white line.

-And it will stop when you return.

-Ready?

-Three...

-..two, one - go!

-Run, lads!

-Have they finished?

-Well done, blues.

-That was a good time.

-It's the red team's turn next.

-So, go and relax.

-The blue team put their foot

-on the gas there.

-But let's see who will be

-a whizz with the wheel...

-..or great with the gun

-in the red team.

-My name is Dan Griffiths.

-I'm 21 years old.

-I live in Mynachlog-ddu and I work

-at a garage as a car mechanic.

-to do the Macarena.

-I'm Owain Rhys Paramore

-from Mynytho. I'm 20.

-I work for a company called

-Harbour Marine in Pwllheli.

-The best part of my body

-is my hairy chest.

-I don't know whether girls like it,

-but I do.

-to do the job.

-You're a top tool, Owain. Top tool!

-My name is Annie Parry.

-I'm 18 and I'm from Groeslon.

-in the Miss Wales beauty pageant.

-I went into the army.

-I've always been different

-from them.

-They like shopping, but I don't.

-I'm Billy Aubrey.

-I'm from Llangefni and I'm 30.

-I'm a mechanic and MOT tester

-for Moduron Maethlu.

-The reason I think I could be

-a model... well, look at me!

-I've got the looks and the muscles

-and I'm cheeky too.

-It's rewarding to fix a car and know

-that it is safe to be on the road.

-Into the camera? Oh!

-I'm Matthew Hughes.

-I'm 33 and from Porthmadog.

-I've worked for the Royal Mail

-for five years.

-Well, I'm obviously bald.

-I have a bit of a beer belly

-and I'm very hairy.

-Some people say I look a bit

-like Jason Statham.

-I know! I think I might be more

-like Mel Gibson.

-I don't know why that came out!

-Nor me, Matthew, nor me!

-Red team, you're next.

-Just to let you know,

-the blue team made good time.

-Are you ready?

-Good luck!

-Three, two, one...

-Off they go!

-Well done, red team. That was

-a good time. It's very close.

-Go and relax. Then we'll tell you

-who has won the first challenge.

-I think we did well,

-but maybe not as well as them.

-#If we hadn't botched that wheel,

-we might have been okay.

-It's all your fault.

-The first challenge is complete,

-so let's find out who won.

-Well done, both teams.

-It was a very close competition.

-But there can only be one winner.

-The winning team with a time

-of 18.37 seconds...

-..is...

-..the blue team!

-Well done!

-Congratulations to the blue team.

-Winners of the first challenge.

-Coming up...

-..how will the mechanics fare in

-the first modelling challenge?

-I'm really nervous.

-I haven't done this before.

-Which two contestants will be

-leaving the competition?

-.

-Subtitles

-With so many fashion companies

-looking for real people...

-..to represent their profession...

-..Dylan Garner's job is to find

-a mechanic to leave the garage...

-..and step on to the catwalk.

-Ten contestants, one winner.

-Welcome back to Ffasiwn Mecanic.

-As you know, every model needs

-a catwalk.

-So, welcome to your catwalk.

-Come in.

-Welcome.

-What do you think?

-You've done your first mechanical

-task...

-..now it's time

-for the first fashion task.

-Yes, you've guessed it.

-Walking the catwalk.

-It looks easy enough, but believe

-me, when you're up there...

-..it's a very lonely place.

-You've met Kristina this morning.

-She's here again to take your photo.

-Hello. How are you?

-There's one thing I want from you

-today.

-I want to see your personality

-as you walk along the catwalk.

-I'd like to introduce you to Gareth,

-who is a professional model.

-He walks with confidence

-and purpose.

-When you reach the end, you have

-three seconds to sell yourself.

-I'll be at the end with my camera.

-I want you to be confident,

-challenging and full of energy.

-To turn around,

-he uses his left foot to turn.

-He turns smoothly and walks back.

-The performance doesn't end

-until you've descended the stairs.

-Good luck and off you go!

-There they go.

-Like lambs to the slaughter.

-They're less mouthy now!

-I'm really nervous.

-I haven't done this before.

-Press-ups. Good idea!

-Different sort of exercises

-for Annie.

-Some are very confident.

-The rest are nervous.

-But who will make the biggest

-impression on the judges?

-Stephen.

-Let's go!

-Oops! Stephen!

-I thought this was Ffasiwn Mecanic,

-not The Full Monty!

-Oh, crikey!

-It gives a whole new meaning

-to car skid marks.

-Brilliant!

-That's one way to describe it!

-I was nervous. I hope it was okay.

-I don't want to leave.

-Matthew.

-Well done, Matthew. You're just like

-Jason Statham on the red carpet.

-That's the scariest thing

-I've ever done.

-You were awful! Not really!

-Annie, Annie, Annie!

-Emrys is next.

-Wyn.

-And Billy.

-If I had to do something different,

-I wouldn't turn up.

-Well, Billy, you're here.

-Next is Annie.

-She's used to marching, but she

-looks comfortable on the catwalk.

-Her walk is good.

-Well done, Matthew.

-Wales' very own Gok Wan!

-Dan.

-The Biggarena has moved on

-to the double guns!

-Owain.

-Walking the plank, this is

-Captain Owain. Chin, chin, Ows!

-Elgan.

-It's Jim Carrey's doppelganger now.

-I hope he doesn't do anything

-stupid.

-Oh! Elgan is trying to get

-Kristina's phone number.

-She's putting him on hold.

-Tom.

-His joints need oiling!

-All together now. Come on!

-The challenge is over.

-Dylan, Lee and Kristina

-have a lot to talk about.

-How did the blue team do?

-The blue team did well.

-They won.

-They worked well as a team.

-They worked well as a team.

-

-They communicated well.

-What about the red team?

-The red team was a bit slow.

-They left a tool

-underneath the wheel.

-That could cause big problems

-in the real world.

-Yes.

-Do you think they pulled it back...

-..in the modelling task

-after that big mistake?

-Yes, definitely.

-But for me, some were better

-than others.

-But I like him.

-He's a bit of an underdog.

-Ah, interesting!

-He did well at the task

-in the morning.

-I felt that he'd gone a little

-over the top.

-A bit of the Magic Mike!

-He doesn't do anything for me.

-No. He's a bit flat.

-I think he looks quite cool.

-You look at him and think you could

-wear what he's wearing.

-You've changed my mind on that one.

-You've changed my mind on that one.

-

-We have to make a decision.

-I have three in my mind.

-Two who didn't stand out,

-and one that stood out too much.

-We're going to disagree

-straight away.

-Here's what I think.

-I disagree with both of you.

-But I think these two

-should go home. Agreed?

-Yes.

-We'd better tell them.

-The big moment has arrived.

-Who will be stepping closer

-to the fashion world...

-..and who will be going back

-to the garage?

-Dan.

-Elgan.

-Tom.

-Owain.

-Dan and Elgan are the first

-to go through to the next round.

-Congratulations.

-It's a great feeling.

-I didn't expect it. Roll on!

-Roll on, indeed, Elgan!

-Many congratulations to them.

-But what will be

-the fate of these two?

-I'll be back in work tomorrow.

-The boss will be happy.

-Ohh! Tom's been given the boot.

-I hope the boss appreciates the dab

-more than the judges did.

-What about Owain?

-Owain sails into the next round.

-Smile!

-I'm not sure what I did

-to get through.

-Maybe it was just luck.

-Well, your luck pleased the judges,

-Owain!

-But who is next?

-Emrys.

-Wyn.

-Annie.

-Matthew.

-Not one, not two, not three,

-but four capable car mechanics...

-..continue on to the competitive

-catwalk.

-What alliteration!

-There is more to come from us.

-More fun and games.

-And more poses.

-I feel better after that.

-There was some pressure.

-Thank goodness!

-I think the boys see me

-as one of them.

-They've been very fair to me

-and included me in everything.

-Fair play to them!

-Ideal! I didn't go out.

-No, indeed!

-There's only place left in the next

-round of Ffasiwn Mecanic.

-Who will be successful?

-Billy.

-Stephen.

-I'm a bit gutted to be one of the

-first out on the first day.

-One thing I've learned is

-that I'm not a model.

-Ohh! Unlucky, Billy!

-Which means that Magic Mike himself,

-Stephen Lee, is in the next round.

-I'll have a lager and enjoy myself

-since I didn't get through.

-There were ten contestants.

-Now, they're down to eight.

-They're one step closer to being

-the winner of Ffasiwn Mecanic.

-Next time...

-Plenty of drama with the go-karts.

-I put the gasket upside-down.

-How will they cope with this?

-I'm like a toffee apple.
