or are you, like most ribbers, just obsessed,

'I ain't got no RIB.'

[kitten]

It did look a lot like a rib

[2-XS-IF]

It looked like a boat build to do a job, and won.
Not a foot pump in sight! so a hard boat.

That mario idiot. What a fat, useless, waste of space, wanker.

I've a feeling that Mario doesn't see it like that!

How could you have HER on such a good show she was talking a load of CR*P
this is Claire not Eric

[TimB-C]

I don't think either Jon or Kitten made that choice......................Down to the producers !!!

[Jon Fuller]

Well I like Gina, enjoyed her company and that of her geezer.

I think you need to let go.

Yes, they're mostly scrap too.

I reckon you stitched me up there Kev, and you'll be punished!!!

Really enjoyed that episode & congrats JF - the principle of KISS worked a treat & that nearly RIB seemed to be planing very well.

I must admit I laughed out loud when you quite clearly showed your knowledge of Volvo car engines

BTW i have been told that a new series is in the offing but next time they will not use the scrapyard, instead basing it in the workshops of the competing teams. So i guess a new title for the program will be in order.

Anyway well done again & bad luck Kitten

Cheers

As I said, there was nothing 'inflatable' about the boat. so, if you remove the 'I' for inflatable, it becomes the correct RB, or Rigid Boat, which is of course a winning formula.

Don't remember the Volvo comments and as I'm stuck in Paris, I haven't seen the episode yet.

The new phantom is looking great JF look forward to seeing it in the flesh on the 21st

[Captain Chaos]

For those of you that have been away on your jollies and may have missed sunday shows, heres some halfway decent res links:

Part 1 (26 Meg)
Part 2 (59 Meg)
Part 3 (61 Meg)
Part 4 (29 Meg)

Enjoy

edit: just noticed the sound runs out a bit towards the end, but cannee be arsed to change it at 12.30 on a sunday!

There is much more to Scapheap than meets the eye.
Jons team were useless and deserved to lose.
My team were awsome and deserved to win.
In the pub on the first night when asked what they wanted to build the genral opinion was ANYTHING BUT BOATS.
Mr Fuller slogged his guts out and definitly deserved the win, just wish we had got each others teams.

[mike k]

Nice one JF. Really enjoyed the prog. That must have been a first for the programme to actually get a boat to go fast.

Yeah. Clearly a boat that relies on two cylindrical air-filled sponsons for its bouyancy has absolutely nothing in common with a RIB whatsoever!

[TimB-C]

Excellent show Jon well done, amazing for a few tin cans and wreck!!!!!!!!!
Now guys be very afraid for RBO8....................If he can do that challenge in 2 days imagine the result of 9 months hard work and Steve B and a Phantom............................Good luck to you and Nick

[Mat]

Great show very enjoyable to watch I see you even managed to get a clip of Leviathan on there.
Great job with all that scrap and great to see something that actually worked

[the shrink]

Great show, but Jons tube design was a bit like the old Taskforce ribs, like White Label Challenger which set a round Britain in the early 90's, they had solid foam detachable collars,
still imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, when are you ordering the Rib Jon
