Project Binky - Turbo Charged 4WD Mini

Post by Wicky »

In the absence of Top Gear stumbled across this series of vids that humerously documents a fascinating Mini build with exceptional fabrication skills.

Each episode is about 20 mintues and there are so far about 11 to date as its still ongoing - so something to pass a rainy day watching with the kettle on...

Been following Project Binky for a while.
Very cleverly done, very entertaining, and actually done by people who have higher than average fabrication talent.

If they are re-inventing Top Gear, they could do a lot worse than this. :)

Biggest problem with that show is they take too long to bring out the new update.... But thankfully not as slow as flatline

Binky still coming along - wiring and creating an interesting flexible drive shaft set-up for the alternator.
