They’ve mentioned many times it’s very much a road car, not a race car, hence no cage and a full interior.

He talks about how when they are done with it that it will probably get wrapped around a tree in short order :v:

I would absolutely not be pushing it's limits anywhere but on a track that's for sure

Most sane people wouldn’t, but I’m sure the boys have posted footage in the past of them hustling I think a WRX down the country lanes at fairly brisk pace.

I have to imagine they're going to have it wrapped in PPF. It would be crazy not to.

Until the end I thought it was dumb and nothing they did showed up well.

Then I liked it again. I'm still not a huge fan of the base color but I get it.

I am settling in with way too much chipotle ordered last night, because of coupons and such it was cheaper to order an insane amount of food than normal to get free delivery and this big x amount off. Yes I tipped generously. and about to start this Binky episode. May God keep my leftovers not soggy and this episode awesome. I used an oven

EDIT: just watched Binky I really thought they were gonna paint it that horrible green, hey if you like that much love. If you don’t have the biggest smile on your face after this regardless of anything else well...I am still beaming. What a show! I am about to watch Ratarossa wash the 512 and go to bed. Binky was worth the wait wow wow wow



It took multiple times to post this, awesome free app. I fully expected to destroy and flip this truck today. And call a friend to come get me. These can not be recommended enough. 4 low literally sideways and it was nothing. Pajero Mini.I’ve owned 4 currently own 3. First time abusing one. Fantastic and 4 wheel is real and amazing. I seriously just wanted to destroy this one today and it doesn’t have a scratch on it that did not come with it.

Five degrees to starboard!

I was shocked at how good the Binky paint job wound up looking.

I bought a tiny quadcopter kit with a first-person-view camera from a friend of mine the other day. I couldn't actually find the quad for a while -- it turns out it packs up into the FPV goggles. Screwed with it for about an hour today. My cats hate it, but they're getting better at ignoring it. I only dropped it into spaghetti sauce once!




Chasing it around the apartment when I've crashed it in some unrecoverable situation is a pretty good excuse to use my bum leg while it recovers.

Random question, but does anyone have a link to a video from a few years ago of (I think) a Mustang, where they played with the timing via the ECU to mimic a lumpy cam?

That fuckin' Binky episode holy poo poo. I can't imagine even taking that thing out of the garage after a paint job like that.

The acid etch primer thumbnail had me convinced that they were in for the long troll and we were going to get a Mr Bean coloured mini.

Really feels like Binky's gone from silly project idea two mad lads in Stropshire decided to do to a full on calling card for BOM and they have changed course a few times to really lean in on the whole "Show off what we can do" bit because they could have it running right now if they hadnt done the amazing load of over and beyond unexpected things that have made the project in the end such a delight to watch over the years. That paint just proves it - it's just truly unexpected and beyond merely just building a wild project.

Interior trim will be coming soon and we're not getting a basic one that we'd settle for normally.

For some reason I almost expect they have been building another rougher version to go race and tear up countrysides.

Do they really strike you as the sort of guys to have a trailer queen though?

More I think about it the paint colour choice is obvious, they’ve gone above and beyond to fit everything inside the regular shell, no bonnet scoop, stock looking but custom arches. A sleeper colour goes right along with that ethos, and the casual onlooker with hardly suspect just how mental the thing is. That colour really gives their custom panel work nowhere to hide, except it’s all gunna be hidden behind components anyway.


On another topic, I jumped in the EV thread to see what was being said about Elon’s dumb steering wheel etc, and goddamn, CT you’re a saint dealing with the lunatics in there. I mean I think the poo poo is dumb too, but wow the arguments people are putting up are insane. Who cares about switching between reverse and drive in a parking lot in a car that parks its drat self without you even in it? Having to take your eyes off the road to change gears on the screen - when you’re not changing gears on the highway in a loving electric car. Strawman ahoy.
