    They haven't done any fab work yet mostly just losing weight off the truck. As above it's still alright to watch.

    I'll have a look tonight I enjoyed binkey from the start but to be fair the fist few episodes were just usual car stuff it's when they started getting really technical that I was glued to it so maybe next one will be same.

    Not really. They’re entertaining but not nearly as interesting subject matter.

    Yeah, To be fair, its a big square box on wheels, not much to look at when stripping down. Could be interesting if they do anything a bit different in the build. Otherwise its a standard enough camper build all about maximising space in a container.

    I've enjoyed it all the same, but im a bit sick like that :)

    They look like they'll get it finished relatively soon.

    Indeed - not far off painting, then internal trimming. Wonder what delectations they can add thereafter - maybe they'll fettle the engine a bit using their ECU?

    Has it collapsed in on itself from the sheer weight of all the bracketry?

    I'm shocked That the axel stands haven't been adapted.

    They were once the Mini's steel wheels.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Few brackets do wonders for them.

    The alignment holes idea they use is very clever

    What odds is paddy power giving on the color ?

    I’m guessing white or cream.

    Whatever the mini was originally I'd say, keep it as stock as possible

    Yeah, best not do anything that would ruin the originality of the car!

    Can’t wait to see it finished, hopefully they take on other projects

    Dont they already have some lined up? I remember seeing a prototype Rover and something else on a previous episode.

    Plus they have that truck too, which isnt really as exciting yet..

    I'm sure once the truck starts ramping up, there will be a few thousand brackets needing fabrication

    I love a good suspension change.

    You'd have to be nervous taking that car for its first set up test drive. Imagine losing control and wrapping it around a phone pole after 6 years of graft. The car is irreplaceable and too perfectly built for use.
