Love the website...found it by listening to the podcast which I found on iTunes. Just wanted to add (not sure if its been mentioned) to the podcast I just finished listening to on the Cracking Contraptions shorts. It seems to me that the coin-operated nature of the Turbo Diner is a bit of a throwback to the Oven-like robot found on the moon in "A Grandy Day Out".
