It’s a fantasy 10000 Sports Pro. Fitted with quadruple Diesel V48 Verados capable of 200 knots at a litre a mile and rather than onboard electronics it has a geostationary satellite receiving high speed streamed data direct from a dedicated control room in NASA

or am I just dreaming Des

Ah now is that v1.3, v1.4 or 1.4a? It's just that v1.3 fixed the non starter bug and added in numerous new functions including virtual propellor and the throttle dial now goes up to 11.

v1.4 however has several new bugs including: Won't hot start, fuel leek, auto yachty abuse and auto eject navigator. However have fixed geostationary uplink to include freeview (chargeable by sky later in the autumn).

v1.4a Fixes all the above and add's pretty lady in cockpit. However it is not a free upgrade and you'll have to pay for a new license.

It’s all of that and more, each engine was hand stripped by beautiful Tahitian maidens before being blueprinted by Zen Buddhist monks assisted by vestal virgins on an undiscovered mountain in Tibet

Each strand of fibre glass in the hull was laid by a Feng Shui expert before the resin was applied by someone who has never had a evil thought using a feather from the last dodo

The positioning of the console took a 20 strong team of engineers ten weeks to find the optimum position before a technician just placed where he thought it looked best

The hull was polished using the same technique that was used to polish the mirror of the Hubble telescope

The seats are made from leather only taken the armpits of new born Connelly calves and the steering wheel and throttle lever took 50 Swiss watch makes their whole lives just to ensure the controls worked, well, just like a Swiss watch

and I’m not even going to start on the attention to details in the ball room didn’t I mention it had a ball room

Do keep up Des.

As of post 957463947 the hull is hand shaped with a diamond encrusted tooth-pick from a solid titanium billet forged from time expired space shuttles.
Unfortunatly NASA could not supply the last batch until last week, as they had a problem finding enough of the previous one.

I also forgot to mention the ego massaging seats that are guaranteed to add at least 2 foot to your stature and 300 points to your lady appeal
They do this by vibrating your whole body at such a speed to make your features less distinct so women think you are more hansom than you really are because they cant quite see you
This feature works well until you get of the rib and sharp focus is restored des

Yeh but the CODPRAWNS RIB build has been delayed due to its RADAR Absorbant, heat reflective, wave piercing tiles from falling off the hull during Sea trials. Have you seen these tiles the whilst pottering about in the sea.

This is what they look like.

Unfortunatly I started the the thread I was genuinely interested to see if Codders had his rib did'nt think it would get such a reaction !!
but I'am sure he is big enough to take a bit of harmless banter so Codders if your out there I would still like to know about the progress on your new rib was thinking about buying a prosport my self before I bought Gemini.
