    Re: Project Binky

    Oooo, love a Frogeyed Sprite..... not keen on the Yankee Doodles calling it a 'bug eyed Sprite!', when will they learn that the original English is the correct terminology... hahahaha. Interesting video though.

              I recon there’ll a couple more episodes before we get to see the colour of the paint. The longer they stretch it the more high class equipment they’ll have placed in their hands. That humble click on my torque wrench is no longer the delight it once was. Garage envy is me (I wish I had done it before them and could do it half as well).

                We figured in the current rather uncertain climate you might like to have a laugh at our expense. So we whipped up another one of our outtakes videos - the f...

                          They make it look so easy - I would be on a day with one of their brackets alone

                            I remember one episode that they set a timer to make one bracket, I think that was for a steering pump bracket and that took a day.
                            I wish I had their patience.

                              designing a bracket right can take so long, especially the way they approach it with perfection!

                                Whatever happened to Binky – Last seen heading for the spray booth?

                                In the meantime I quite enjoyed “Building an £850 hatchback into a competitive race car.” Also from Bad Obsession Motorsport
                                The global pandemic scuppered our carefully laid plans for the spring and summer of 2020 so we needed something else to pass the time and to look forward to....
