Starting in 10 min on Channel 4. Quick, get a brew on.

I'm watching the GP but I've got a video in for it

Too late. Finished now.

wonder if you could build a locost in 10 hours with 4 people!

We could give 'em a ring and see if they film us trying. Might be a squeeze though.

not possible- they would stand around for 9 hours arguing about the suspension bushes

Ditto,but it would still be good to watch.

surely you'd be able to get it done because somewhere in the yard, purely coincidentally of course, there would be a front end of a chassis, and somewhere else, there'd be a rear. there may even be some wishbones, not the bendy hi stress type mind, kicking around

I stopped watching scrapheap challenge religiously a while back as it got a bit far fetched. The early series really were about neccessity being the mother of invention. Now it seems if they need a boat hull, or a propellor or a jet drive there will mysteriously be one found just as they're beginning to scratch their heads.

anyway, my rant over

If you had the plans in advance, and enough people with enough different sets of kit, i recon you could build a locost in 10 hours. you'd have to have several people on the go chopping tubes, people building wishbones at the same time as chassis and axle, a team of people stripping the donor(s)... you might have to cheat on the bodywork.

We actually entered (the Locost club) a couple of years ago, everybody keen, until we got the entry form and everybody bottled it!

we did same at work some years back, i got all the entry pack ect.......... then all of a sudden no one CBA, think id'e stilll like a crack at it though.........

think it was the video bit that put em off at work.

I'd love to do it, but my specialist field of engineering ends at hitting things really hard with a large hammer. Usually me.
