Melvin Tong

On tonight's show we invited entrepeneur, visionary and risk-taker Melvin Tong onto the show. Back in 2010 Melvin got himself into the Guinness Book of World Records by being the first amputee to climb Mount Kinabalu. His most recent trip seems him returning from the base camp of Mount Everest. 

Melvin and his brother run Extreme Cars and Extreme Limousines, and both clearly have a love of speed. We asked him how he got into fast cars.

For the record Melvin scored 10 in Smartypants.
