Project Binky - Episode 13 - Austin Mini GT-Four - Turbocharged 4WD Mini 

lol I was shocked too I had to look up the proper pronunciation

+Dan Haines The Quarterly Review changed Davy's aluminum to aluminium. Of course this is the magazine that attacked writers John Keats, Percy and Mary Shelley among other writers of the time. Percy claimed that they caused Keats death. I like the fact that Napoleon III gave utensils made of it to preferred guests while the rest had to settle for gold ones.

+TheJimmax spell aluminum. now say that exact word without adding any letters. say it....sayyyyy it.....

definitely was a "WTF" moment followed by a "PMSL" when he corrected

If you have the correct pronunciation you can (and should) sing it to the tune of the hallelujah chorus.

Actually it was "they stick out too far, ok we just make them wider..."

me to

agreed i was worried they had forgotten us

+jeZZa7810 I had forgotten about the build for a while

and me

Expect one every 3 months, I was looking at my notifications yesterday to see if there's anything new but there wasn't. BUT NOW IT'S BACK!

Well they do say that laughter is the best medicine. I'm assuming that's only if you don't blow a stitch. :-O watch with caution and get well soon!

Get well soon mate.

get well soon bud

get well soon sir , get a binky yourself .

Get well soon matey :-)

it's barely been one month... we would normally expect an episode sometime before Christmas, you've got loads of time until then... :') any progress made since last month?

just knowing you guys aren't dead with occasional comment replies is nice. We all know this is insanely hard to engineer and you need breakthroughs to progress sometimes.

I need to win the lotto and help fund you along. I am sure this takes a fair amount of $

uh, how would diabetes affect how someone acts?

this last comment was a month ago, any update on the new video release date?

Well should get another 2 by then haha

atleast one if their track record of once every 3 ish months is to go by

Mhmmmm.

+Kevin Burns Thank you sir. Hope you enjoy the next installment coming out on Friday.

+Bad Obsession Motorsport can't wait!

Lol, little did u know about 4 years to come until ep 36 and binky lives (maybe)

Where have you been jafro????

We miss you Jafro!

Hey I was wondering what happenned to you !! I loved your videos until you went AWOL

Awesome, Jafro's not dead!!

lol was reading this as binky is the one. then see its you jafromobile would like to say hello and now can you please update me/us.

BOM and TTG are the best content on the net. Both sides of the pond covered! All your work is fantastic and making gear heads around the world very happy. Many thanks from us all :-)

and an English lesson! Love your work by the way Tom. :)

Tom's Turbo Garage :-)

Thanks Tom! Hope everything is good State side.

Same. Good British humour.

Yes it was sensational!

Septic tank ?

We won our independence from your sub par spelling as well.

"In 1808, Humphry Davy identified the existence of a metal base, which he at first termed alumium and later aluminum." It has always been aluminum. The word got bastardized by the British scientific societies in 1812 to sound "more modern"; as they saw their imperialistic conquests beginning to falter (already having lost more than one war against their former colonies) and wanted to take a new approach (science) to set themselves apart as "better" than everyone else at the time...

Nothing compares to this channel. Sadly.

Aaron Cake has an RX-5 Cosmo that he's been working on. Slightly dirtier humor but he has similar fabrication work. He does it a lot quicker though.

I'll take Nik's fabrication over Aaron's any day. Also, I'm good with dirty humour, but Aaron crosses the line into creepy territory sometimes.

Yes, forgot to mention Clickspring. He doesn't do car stuff or add in a lot of humor but he is really passionate about what he does and is extremely good at doing it.

Turbo Tom garage and his car projects are fabulous. Specifically his V8 Mx-5.

+James Congdon Thanks for watching James.

prepare yourself to surfer for the next 4-5 months, as it usually takes that long for a new episode to come

Thanks for the heads up. Not suprised tho, the editing makes it look fast and easy, but it clearly is not. Just bought a "make the noise" shirt, so ill just put it on, sit down and wait ;)

Thanks Glen.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

I agree, this project is starting to be a piece of high art, everything is their own design and the solutions are thought-through very well!

I should think they would do a damn sight better than what they came up with. Whoever came up with the idea to have an American sit com actor to be a presenter on a BBC television show should have his dangling participles clapped between a couple of bricks. This is coming from an American too. We have American Top Gear, and it sucks.

+Paul van Lieshout Thank you Paul!

Thanks Andy. Good luck!

I believe that was a circular saw.

At WORK !!! Where do you work and are there any vacancies ?

Finally watching this series. Funny who I find here!

@@izzyplusplusplus1004 you arent familiar to the series are you :P

@@oliviervandenbroek4287 Sir, I suppose you've never heard of dry humor.

Bad Obsession Motorsport Woohooo, thats better than christmas!

I came here to tell you my tshirt and mug arrived! I love your series and can't wait for more! Thanks again! P.S. I hail from Massachusetts and daily drive a 2015 Fiesta ST that's currently making 265lb at the wheels! I think Binky would approve.

Now I have something to look forward to on black Friday other than fighting shopping crowds at the retailers. :)

Bad Obsession Motorsport Are you guys planning to make a new Unplugged episode? I'd like you to maybe go through the details from the technical drawings and everything else involved in creating the CAD templates you're using, surely it is not as simple as you make it appear in the videos... This project never ceases to amaze me, episode after episode.

This friday the grand tour, next friday project binky! GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! TEA FOR EVERYBODY! :D

+Kire Biljaroski We are working on it.

Stop drinking Tea and go back to work... :P Joking I hope you release it this November ^-^

Episode 14, Nov 25th, 8.00pm GMT.

Got it. Marked on my work and personal calendars. Not that you should feel deadline pressures or anything.

+Jonas Ö Thank you.

hey without iinches there would be no metric

@@seanfleming6680 yes perhaps, but metric is so much superior to imperial, the whole world switched over to it except USA

yes, that's the whole purpose of it. Flat sheets of steel, aluminium or even fibreglass aren't as strong as curved ones, so if you have indentation going across the flat section it does make it stronger, thus preventing the volume of fuel from bulging the walls of the tank outwards.

Rolling a bead into the ally sheet gives it a measure of rigidity.

Thanks guys.

Yes, bending metal always makes it stronger and less prone to flex.

yea it makes the sides less likely to bulge out, same reason the floor of a car isnt perfectly flat.

+Nick Hiniker The crazy thing is, like almost everything we've done so far, you won't see it when it's finished.

Watch it bro

I'm saving it for tomorrow evening. No time today. But so happy that there is a new episode!

Really?

Ill save for later, rewatch a few episodes to get back in the feel of it :D

NOW

Amen

+Adrian Perez ramen

Potato Productions Ramen Empire ! :D

What do you guys know, you put a U in color...

because thats how its pronounced.

and in neighbours and plenty of other words too. Got to love proper English! ;-)

+Niek Hoogendoorn "Proper" being the key word.

+4theloveofDub It was put in in the *14th century*, it was the Yanks who took it out

+Velocity Labs The outside edge of the wheel is in exactly the same place, but the tyre no longer bulges out past it even further. Saves us 25mm.

Thanks!!

By the way, Velocity Labs, I have one of your "chill before serving" T-shirts, and really like your decision to make it glow in the dark. It's very distinctive & appropriate on track nights. Still waiting for Bad Obsession to offer one that reads "make the noise", though.

Update: 'Just discovered that they already offer a "make the noise" shirt! How did I miss it?

put tire in front end like the pros in Timbuktu. It's A great bumper! Or place in a cool fashion mount in front of side mirror. Or put tire on back like a wing or on back like jeeps. Put in back seat,, Jesus need I go over all the awesome choices.

@Big-Adam Funny you should mention the grinder, that's the way I've been doing it, but not on wheels. :-)

Behind the Tank under the bottom of the floor is the rear axle & diff and the exhaust. And Nick wants a space for some luggage. You really didnt need a spare wheel in a Mini.

+hugelawn Go safari style and put it on the roof behind a row of spotlights...

Honestly, it would make sense to me to mount the spare wheel on the back seats, doubt there's space for anyone except Rich's twins to sit... that's just MHO though...

Being this skilled I am sure that they are very busy in their every day jobs!

+B. Shoemaker Not really. You've got a complete fuel tank, a parcel shelf, C post stiffeners, fire wall, seat belt anchors, scuttle panel, wiper mech, banded wheels, new tyres, a week at Goodwood, a life, 2 full time jobs, a shed load of editing, twin baby girls and a 30 minute video that's free to watch...

Ok, but binky must be sad. so unloved. Besides you guys make the best vids! The wait sucks. I so want to see it run.

And very entertaining to boot!

The wait does suck but I am just glad they decided to take the extra time to make these video's and share. I am sure they would get very little money from doing so!

+Joseph Cota Thanks for watching!

Same. What I'm most impressed with, aside from the perfect command of Blackadder and Python references, is the sense of continuity in the editing. If you hadn't told me I wouldn't have guess the span of time the series goes.

Same here. Just finished binge watching myself. I am absolutely spell-bound by the amount of work going into this car. I'm also learning a lot and getting inspired to get back to working on my own car project.
