My team, "The Wheel Nuts" will be on tonight's scrapheap challenge at 5.30 on C4 - yes I know the series is rubbish but you do get to see me making an idiot of myself!

The keen eyed might spot a very young R4 - this was filmed last year...

James

set that to record

shame its not as good as it used to be, and that bird doing it now is no lisa rogers. all the new bird does is run about laughing. don't think she says anything

Errr what new bird?

I am watching and still no birds

Any bets as to who wins??

those 550sx are lovely condtion. the hulls are better than mine.

good idea, but 600cc bike engine is just way to much power, see that jet pumps are only good for 6000 to 7000rpm.

stuart

you will be surprised - we thought the same!

Did you use Gary's Ski/parts in the end?

Just watching on Sky+ now

YYAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

was the engines garys, i hear he offen breaks down.

well done.

stuart

Very good effort!

Not sure I like the new format of the show though...

on chanel 4+1 now for those who missed it

GeorgeM

Totally unrealistic though, there was a Cortina in the scrapyard and IT STILL HAD ITS FRONT WHEELS ON!

Well done to you all !!!! what a result
The BEB let us bike engine lot down though didn't last very long before it through a rod

Just catching it on +1 at the moment!

awwww that little boy.

Might watch it just for you

I watched the first of the new series and gave up with 10 minutes to go.... Very poor. Wierd thing is I love scrapheap and I like DS in INEBG....

Hmm, i watched one of the new series and there was some annoying girl on it, maybe she wasn't supposed to be? Maybe she got sacked? At work, i'll watch tonite when i get in

Er, why have i got someone elses avatar?

3 men on a plank Good moustaches BTW.

ah, her name was nicky something or other, she was like on of dicks team (like they used to have the expert on the old format)

epidode one on 4od^

Firstly well done to the Wheel Nuts

But I don't like the new format at all, was it changed to fit in with the other countries who run it?

IMO most of the fun was finding stuff to use (whether the scrap yard was seeded or not) and making something under real time pressure. Wheel Nuts looked like they'd spent a lot more time and effort on their craft than the other teams, so deserved to win (even if it was a bit underpowered).

Nice to see the fat walrus get beat - well done.

Hate the new format though!!

Looks like the series is back on, Channel 4 5.25pm Sundays
