Andy,

Although I have no engineering background or any other formal training I can say I do work where Scrap heap challenge is filmed. They nicked one of our best buildings believe it or not.
And yes we think its all a big setup but best of luck. If you need a Tea Boy or someone who can drive then count me in. As for welding etc don't bother.

PS. I can draw you a nice route map to the filming location. And if your lucky I'll drop some pyrotechnics in...........

I've definatly got the mechanical ability what is needed is a person from every disapline. Electrical, Design, Tea Boy , Crash test dummy (wonder who that could be) and a nice piece of skirt . Oh and nearly forgot....A Googler .

Andy,

I would love to join you. Would certainly be an experience. I am pretty good at coming up with working solutions but I feel I just don't have the engineering background. Most of my experience is bourne of having the guts and commitment to do something and not give up at the first hurdle.

Last post for me on this before you pick your team. I can make tea and coffee, can drive and can certainly shoot. I'm also a bit of a sneaky B.

Go for it Andy. We see the scrapyard they get everything from and we have said that its funny the way certain objects appear in the scrapyard. They are certainly working for good TV.

And I think you would be a good TV/Figurehead.

And Kathleen could be our Lady Ribber

Me too.................

Now, if it involves a shock mitigation seat, we have it covered.


Perhaps RIVA & Co can give us some pointers. BoatBoys Rule!

OK, I'll have a closer look at the Ad when I get time and post back with some basic parameters and try to sort some sort of plan out.

Any update on this folks. Might be able to get a ringside seat with plenty of warning.

[Hightower]

No updates my old fruit.

I just haven't got the time at the mo.

My new years resolution is becomming reality, I've had a couple of interviews on the job front. Might even have some mid week days off like you Nick if I manage to pull todays interview off.

[Biggles]

Then when you get that boat sorted maybe we can meet up for a blast

[Biggles]

And good luck on the job front.

[Hightower]

Well I actually gotta get the job first . Then with the substantial wage increase (don't tel the missus ) I can buy my next RIB.

Here's hoping.
