Project Binky

New Binky

I’m enjoying Escargot..

Bling Binky.

I can’t wait to see the colour they go with. I’m going classic red with white roof…

Racing green to match the bolts?

God I hope they don’t go Boring Racing Green, but I think they might.

Saving watching this for my train journey back from Weymouth.

Paint (ok, powdercoat) and assembly of finished parts, who’d have thought we’d ever get here!

Engine for the next 2-3 episodes I reckon…

If anyone wants a needs a fix of engineering madness, check out the Grind Hard Plumbing Co.* on that there youtube. They take power wheels electric kiddy cars and strap very silly engines and space frames to them.

*not a plumbing company.

Enjoyed the AvE references in the last few eps.

I am surprised they reused the subframe given the amounts of metal that rusted off it and was in piles on the bench!

Engine refurb this weekend! Sooo close….

Booo! Wanted a new episode for my train home tomorrow.

You bastard z1ppy….i was all excited when i saw the thread resurrection for a new episode of pinky but alas none was forthcoming…….you are a bad man.

Soooooo, having had this completely pass me by 😳

Where do I start watching?

Episode 1 of course.

Thank you soooooo much 🤦‍♂️

He’s right. And for the best experience only watch one episode a month.

See you in about 15 hours 😀

(Minus the bonus videos, outtakes, Q&A’s, oh and the Escargot.)

Episode 30 of Project Binky is already available for Patrons and it’ll be on general release for everyone on Sunday afternoon (UK time)! This is the one where we planned to give the engine a lick of paint, a cam belt and an oil change. Things escalated…..

Time to break out the funk, might actually be red wine as I’m on call next week 🙁

Episode 30 is due on the afternoon of Sunday 1st March.

Yay! Full Binky.

Nice cameo

lazy ****

building up a motor is one of lifes pleasures (1275 mini cooper s here well 1400 by the end) punching in the piston with the back of the hand makes a lovely sound

It’s always satisfying watching an engine be built properly, almost up there with doing it yourself!

Annoyingly that 35-odd minutes flew by so it’s going to be a long wait for episode 31!!

seems a puny looking timing belt!

That was a very therapeutic watch (coming from a viewpoint of building competition engines), poor turbo yoda but it all came good in the end thanks to T.E.D.

Nice cameo

Yeah ha ha

I suspect they are not being entirely truthful about the purpose of that turbo.   It’s lovely to watch an engine being built up like that

That’s a relief!

That flew by. Much enjoyment here.

Easily the best thing on the internet….for some years now, possibly decades….

Woop! That’s this evening sorted….

Wasn’t gonna have a beer tonight, but….

I’m guessing it might be an even longer wait until the next episode (or the one after that), presumably they’re not doing any build work at the moment.

Good to hear from them.

I have been wondering how Corona willl effect the planned 9-12 month build schedule for Binky.

planned 9-12 month

isn’t there an escargot thread ?
