Bit cheeky doing that. Can't wait til the next video.

Guy:Incognito · 17-11-2016 10:01pm

Baaaah. I got excited that the new episode had dropped :-(

Only started watching this today:pac:

Given the normal level of Engineering they put in, Are they taking the piss with those arches? Perhaps using them as a template to make others later.

He said it in the video, they are just to make a mould

Yet again, completely over engineered to the highest degree. Bravo.

The way this I'd dragging on, It would make you appreciate how quickly gas money gets stuff done. Celica GT4s will be vintage by the time binky's finished .

Voodoomelon · 18-03-2017 8:11pm

Aye, I get that quality content takes a while to make, and this project isn't their full time work, but 3-4 months between episodes is a bit of a stretch. At least there's a fair length to each episode.

Yes but they have maybe 200 man hours a week on a car... Maybe more. While BO might get about 10-20 on a good week and I would think less on average.

Plus the quality of the engineering is far beyond the vast majority of what a crowd like Gas Monkey get up to. Their stuff is for the most part off the shelf third party bolt ons with a bit of tweaking and cosmetics. More assembly than engineering. You just can't compare the two on any level the only commonality is they both work on cars.

Bigus · 18-03-2017 9:10pm

The quality of the detail is exquisite, but as a driver I'd be more concerned with the fundamentals of the build and how it may handle. It could turn out be a complete pig for example in pitch and yaw , with dangerous or unmanageable dynamics.
If I was doing this project I'd have run a rough cobbled together example around a racing circuit/private road to make sure track and wheelbase and weight distribution were fundamentally in the ballpark before getting into fine inconsequential time consuming details like bloody central locking re-engineering. But time will tell ... a long time.

They build rally cars for a living (I think?) so I would be reasonably confident they know what they are doing here

mullingar · 18-03-2017 11:06pm

You just have to look at the amount of effort to remove the bump steer to realise how serious they want it to handle.

Not much you could do about the wheelbase, and working within the confines of the mini shell, scope for changing the weight distribution is limited to perhaps adding extra to the rear after testing.

OMG that thing they did is class! Can't ruin it for ye but it's flipping great

It's fantastic but they really are going to new levels of detail to the point that it will never be finished.

colm_mcm · 13-10-2017 11:07pm

As long as the Patreon donations keep coming in shur!

mullingar · 14-10-2017 2:58pm

Very funny.

Ed China in it too....

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.

edburg · 23-05-2018 8:14pm

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.

Guy:Incognito · 01-08-2018 2:33pm

Ep 18 dropping tonight at 8 according to their twitter.

edburg · 01-08-2018 2:36pm

**** that was quick turn around for them ðŸ˜€

Nate--IRL-- · 01-08-2018 8:48pm

May as well post it so..
