God damn I love this show

I'm useless with cars, engineering, handywork, metalwork, my hands....and yet this is fascinating to watch. Their ability to work around issues and problem solve is brilliant and it's so cool to see them put small pieces of engineering together to build something that is going to be unique and bloody brilliant. I don't understand much of the engineering and I don't bog myself down by feeling stupid about that, but it's just really cool to watch it all unfold.

I really hope they get the car done finally.

It does seem like progress has slowed in the most recent episodes..

They're likely to die of old age before it's done

Kind of wishing I'd held off till the end so I could watch it all together for the first time.

There getting down to the ****ty little jobs nobody wants to do now and the fun to watch engineering has been finished, plus they become celebrities so they'll spend most of summer out n about at shows and events.

Cardboard fully working heater was class as was finished article.

They'd want to up the pace a tad

Yep. Fair enough, it takes 15 hours to make a beautiful bracket etc but that's still only a few days work done since last video.

It is almost like they have full time jobs and families also and only get to work on it when they get free time

That may be but they have viewers funding this now and further sponsors too so they might want to give it some more of their spare time.

Surely not, your making that up, that blonde bird was an actress playing a wife surely and those babies were just kidnapped for the opening credits once :pac::pac::pac::D:pac::pac::pac:

Perhaps it's the reason they're progressing slowly, finish the car and the funding finishes too.

It's a passion project that's really well put together and explained, they're right to go at their own pace imo

And if those people were not happy with the speed of progress, they would probably stop funding it.

Anybody here funding it as a matter of interest?

I've bought stuff from their store, that's about it.

FWIW, I'm hoping they keep it as slow as possible for more episodes.

I havent either buy the pace of it doesn't inspire me either, I do however feel a little guilty when I watch soup, always look forward to that one.

Don't get me wrong, I love the work and the detail they go to to achieve stuff but I don't need it to be so slow moving.
Loved the auto wiper install.... half thinking of putting auto wipers into our old tractor just as a piss take.
