Didn't know it was the 2nd film - haven't even seen the first one!!! Will ONLY watch it to see the RIB!!!

As to the film Sahara don't know if there are any RIBs but Hunton powerboats feature big time - and they are AWESOME(and British)!!!!

Last one I read was Trojan Odyssey it had a RIB in about 2/3s in. I'm considering making my diving club a gift of my Pitt books collected thus far, however it will ofcourse require a librarian in keeping with the books....
