So much silliness and fun... 🙃 And to think: they could have had the Bad Obsession Motorsport boys [project Binky on UA-cam], who'd have spent the first 8 years of the 5-week build fabricating world-class brackets... Proper job!😁
It's completely unproductive but you have to love the boat buoys style leaving everything to the last minute and responding to it with 'Well I'm going on holiday tomorrow', then summing up their chances with 'Land? pretty crap, offroad? pretty crap, water? well....it doesn't float', its so funny
love how the girls are all eco friendly then the Barley Pickers line up next to them and chuck a few black clouds out.i do question though whether the BP's build was in the spirit of the competition.the bug was doable by all but the BP's was very specific to them.
I thought it was a Ford GT bonnet going by the shape of the headlight holes? but i think you could be right as thinking back the Ford GT was alot wider comparied to Dodge Viper bonnet
I loved Scrapheap challenge and Scrappy Racers, but most of all...I want that sidecar. For me to buy a sidecar, new, here in South Australia, is more expensive than my motorbike. But I love the chair, so much fun to ride.
This was enormously popular on cable TV here in Serbia, it even inspired my friend to start working on some awkward vehicle she hopes to finish and register some day as her take on 1930s cars built from parts found in scrapyards. She's a trans woman with background in engineering and one of my favourite crazy neighbours. Her vehicular contraption started life as chasis of an old Dodge 3/4 ton pickup truck that she retrofitted Mercedes W124 engine into, grille and arched fenders from Yugoslav FAP 13 truck, steering wheel and column from a late 50s Opel Rekord, hood ornament from a Lincoln, hand made bonnet connected to the firewall of the same FAP 13 truck and windscreen frame from some crappy wedding car that imitates 1930s aesthetics. Seats are temporarily fitted from that Dodge truck as bench seats are impossible to find here. How it would look in the end and how on earth would it get registered I don't have a clue, but I can't wait to see "Scrappy Races Transgendercedes Benz" as she named it blasting down the road with air horns from shunting locomotive and her big schnauzer in the passenger seat....
The large ground clearanceand the altered design of the Barley Picker' tractor gave them a little extra flexibility in parallel parking. On the other hand, the EcoBug of the Green Goddesses has that huge turbodiesel engine hanging over the edge, plus the low ground clearance played a slight disadvantage at parking.
the pump needs opening up on the tractor.... not enuff black smoke.. you know when you have it right when the eco bug has to put its fog lights on when following
A hovercraft is the obvious solution to this challenge, but I assume the road legality is the real reason they're not allowed to do them. Hovercraft are great over just about all terrain types and the only thing they really struggle with are steep inclines. There is a certain amount of complexity to building the skirt for them, but if you get that right then the rest of the engineering is relatively simple, and even the engines on them are typically very simple
I was so booooored tonight. Then this show came into my mind... First I didn't even remember it's hungarian name xd But then I suddenly found this video. I'm gonna have fuuun watching this tonight ;)
(TL;DR Air cooled engines suck) The engine used in the original beetle the VW E motor was air cooled which means that it was prone to overheating not only to the point of engine damage but if it gets above its normal operating tempature it uses more fuel and oil as well as creating more emissions it also doesn't have a catalytic converter so all of the exhaust create by the engine is vented directly to the atomosphere. The beetle also requires leaded fuel I assume considering its age which is another chemical going out the engine. Also while amazing at the time they generally only got 25mpg on the highway. Like any older car it creates a lot of excess emissions on start up. Also beetles on start up often spit oil which is another thing most beetles were recommend to run SAE 30 instead of a multi-weight oil which is less effective at protecting components when it heats up which may cause damage and excess emissions. Also engines were not designed to control emissions at this point just to get exhaust out, which means they created a lot of them to begin with not to speak of the lack of filtering.
my dad had a beetle for 15 years, it never had a single problem... then he bought a new car and the beetle just sat there for another 20 years... it just needed a new battery, oil and gasoline - started running from first try
I'm no car mechanic but that Beetle looks damn solid for 300 pounds. And with their weight problem and clever brains, couldn't they make a mid-engined Beetle? I mean, you can probably plop the third crewmember in the original engine's place with a bit of luck.
God I love seeing the top teams from scrapheap challenge back for another go! Robert is so funny, miss that guy! and how hot is that host girl? good gravy! Also I think those Eco girls are pretty delicous!! (no bio diesel pun intended!)
Hungover on a Sunday is when I used to watch this. Memories.
Yes I did the same on Sundayafternoon

william pruden so true these kind of shows were cool. Now everybody only cares about social media.

I watched this show as a kid. Thanks to it, i'm an engineer now.
Same here,mate
Im also an engineer
This and top gear sparked my interest in engineering, now I’ve started my career in engineering and I love it

Yeah they are best
Yeah
This show was literally my childhood..loved it so much .. an i gotta say 21:00 that Rolls engine is a beaut😍👌
When they said 30 year old car it took me by surprise. I completely forgot that this is the early 2000s
I'm so glad this popped up I used to watch it as a kid
I Loved this as a Kid
ah remember this when it was on tv .. its before reality tv got really shit thanks for sharing !

I've actually met Andy Barnes at a local tractor rally
Gosh i wish i did such a legend
I often wonder where that tractor is
I used to really enjoy Scrapheap Challenge in the day. It would be great to see it again on UA-cam. Please.
Nosher...what an absolute legend!He should have his own show i reckon.
Just don't let him tinker with the diesel injection pump !!!!
@@christopherhampson265 That was Andy not Nosher
That’s my uncle nosher! He was brilliant 😊
RIP Nosher.
😮😮😮
if anyone noticed the boat boys draw their plans on the blue and white bonnet from a dodge viper in the first 15 minutes of the show
I thought it was a Ford GT bonnet going by the shape of the headlight holes? but i think you could be right as thinking back the Ford GT was alot wider comparied to Dodge Viper bonnet
BTW The Rangie breaking down towing the other "hunk" of a vehicle... PRICELESS!!!! hahahaha
This is The best episode of while serie!
inspired a generation. People wonder why there's no new techs. It's because they all see the insta flash shit and don't realise these are the real OGs
Wow she,s beautiful too x

Awesome that you have found them and uploaded the episodes thanks
Proper job 🤘
Id of bought some spare lorry parts from the lorry graveyard if i was the barleys this would cover all failure possibilities
Holy balls its been so long since I heard the name "Meglomaniacs"!

Goddamn barley pickers creating a goddamn shed rather than a car!
How did that trike thing pass any type of safety inspection? Tippy as hell and no roll bars or proper roll cage.
you know this show’s old when that beetle was only 30 years old
I really want to see more of that tractor
Thanks Linus for bringing me here...

Hi
An LTT video mentions this?
It show up in the suggested videos post,,, I used to love this show as a kid!
I believe Linus did a similar series with salvaging 2nd hand parts to build a really cheap PC. The name of the series was scrapyard wars.

What engine and lorry cab is that the barley pickers have
Rolls Royce Eagle. 6 cylinder engine .
And originally a Bedford truck .
But Robin broke the cab .
So they put a bigger .Leyland cab on it.

How the fuck are the green godesess having trouble with paralell parking in a beetle when the barley pickers did it flawlessly in a huge 7 ton lori??

no its about the car they were driving

Where is the sva centre?
That's a Rolls Royce Eagle Diesel truck engine, circa 1970s. It's a straight-6, not a 16 cylinder. Might be 16 litres but I doubt it.
Thats intresting either way it looks quite big .prob worth more than the tractor,truck

They were not collectors items 30 years ago.🙄
