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 first for a while - to hopefully bring you some cheer.
We're aiming for Escargot 5 in a couple of weeks and Binky 31 by end of April. Of course things are changing rapidly at the moment so don't hold us to that.
Your continui...

What do we do on our rare days off from the shed you might ask? Well, on the very first decent day of weather in 2020, we happened to be invited to a closed to club shakedown/track day at Curborough sprint course in early March.
The Rallying History car club brought many vehicles to the Staffordshire venue from a Morris Marina to MG Metro 6R4's alongside Escort and Sierra Cosworth, Toyota...

Hi gang,
Here for your viewing pleasure is episode 30. The engine needs a lick of paint, a cam belt and an oil change but as usual, nothing goes entirely to plan.
Hope you enjoy it.
Thank you for your support. We really appreciate it!
Cheers,
Nik and Richard.

Hi gang,
We've been beavering away in the shed and hope to bring you episode 30 this weekend! We're very excited about this one; it's a huge rollercoaster of an episode, crammed with sizzling gypsies. And torque wrenches.
All being well, it will be with you on Saturday evening GMT.
Cheers,
Nik and Richard.

Hi gang,
Here's episode 29! In this video we have an absolute tonne of stuff to re-furbish and make good. There's powdercoating, painting, stripping, blasting, plating and many more ings besides.
Thanks as always for your support, we couldn't do it without you!
Cheers,
Nik and Richard.

Hi gang,
We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and it's probably just acceptable to say happy new year to you all.
After an unprecedented two whole episodes of Binky in one month, we've taken time to tidy the workshop, sweep up, panic over bits we can't find because one of us put them "somewhere safe," and now we're back on to filming and producing the next episodes...

Hi gang,
We said we could do it and by Jove, we have! Another Binky episode in December for your delectation.
Thank you so much for your patronage; it's down to you guys that we can continue to do what we do in the shed.
We wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year. See you all in 2020!
Cheers!

In episode 27, we continue with the myriad little jobs needing sorting. We're so close to stripping it down for paint, but there's still a bunch of stuff that needs sorting, so we crack on like a pair of lunatics...
With a bit of luck, episode 28 will be ready in a couple of weeks - sometime around Christmas. (Don't fall off your chair, we reckon we can do it...)

In part 4 of our side project, Nik reveals his cunning plan, much to Richard's chagrin. We do some more stripping, more drilling, and there's a lot more impact gun action. The front axle gets some attention as we aim to get the truck back on her wheels.
As always, we are so grateful for your continued support; we'll be back in a few weeks with a Project Binky episode. The one ...

Hi gang,
In this short Q&A, we try and answer some of the more frequent questions we get asked across our social media platforms. Doing it this way was significantly less arse than replying individually...
We'll be back in a few weeks with another Escargot followed by a momentous episode 27 of Project Binky.
Thanks for all your support!

Hi Gang,
In part two of our side project, we continue the transformation of a 34 year old ex-library bus into a hotel on wheels/car transporter. In this episode, we try and shed a little more weight from the truck by taking a look at what lurks beneath the floor...

Here you go gang, the latest episode of our never-ending quest to stuff a quart in a pint pot. This time we tackle a multitude of heat exchangers and make a start on wiring up the ECU. The bracket count is high and the stopwatch makes a re-appearance.

Hi gang,
Here's something a little bit different for you. We thought people might like to see our crazy plan to build something to take Binky around the shows in once it's finished. The video style is a little bit different as it's quicker and easier to shoot and edit this way, and the updates will be sporadic at best.
Don't worry, we're still flat out on the mini and a new Bi...

Just a quick video detailing what's coming up after the Mini project - a lot of people have been asking... Thought you lot would like to see it before anyone else.
As ever, your support is essential to us and we're very grateful for every single one of you. No charge for this one, we don't like to take the p1ss...

Thanks for your continued support, it means a lot to us. Hope you are enjoying the more frequent videos, we'll try to get the next one out in a more timely manner...

Here you go gang, part 1 of the additional content we mostly omitted from episode 20. There was too much to show in a normal Project Binky episode, so we put together a machining video for those of you who like that sort of thing.

Here you go gang, true to our word we're trying to get the episodes out much faster now. There's an unbelievable amount of work in this one, far too much to show in one 30 minute episode without killing it dead, so there'll be an additional machining video out in a couple of weeks (not charged to you; we don't like taking the p**s.) for anyone who'd like to see more of the detail in the latter par...
