I think we're about due for the second thread of this, by my count.

Oops, looks like Yang has run into a bit of a snag as Nik has decided that the PPC needs all new brackets manufactured....

The really funny thing is that, when I went to link this myself, that was exactly the line I was going to pick.

Blackhurst & Brunning has spatial anomalies. And porous sumps. There is also a bracket with a bracket (#Life Goals) and a thoroughly punched-in-the-face Blackhurst. See more of it in episode 23, out now!

And incidentally, I wonder if they've switched out the tea for another brand, because there's been more Binky in the past 3 months than in the year before that.

Binky is, of course, the car to end all other cars. So far. But, well, Binky is getting close to completion. So...what then? What will happen when The Horse Of Death proudly actually tears up the by-roads of Shropshire?

Have no fear. There are more things in the pipe-line, and, well, Binky looks to be among the ended cars later, because DAMME! First the rally 205, and then a monster of a machine, the 162 in series, no less.

I think it's worth noting that it's the 162... in a series of which 161 shipped

Which means it's not the specific one that bashed Clarkson in the head in 2003, but you can't have everything.

Actually, since they only completed 86 or so cars total, it's doubtful even 161 cars were shipped. The MG XPower Club states 4 pre-production, and 82 actual production cars.

The remarkable thing with that statement is where it was aimed...or rather, where it wasn't.

The episode is, however, skookum as frig!

The meta-gag on the timing afterwards was just perfect. Very good.

Ok, so, there's been a while since the last of these posts, during which there's been a bit of Binky, and a bit of Howie, and a bit of French snails(shudder).

Now, there's Binky again. This time, there's quite a bit of fabrication, which was fun and nice, and a whole HEAPING of funk. Also, Nik isn't Canadian enough, and I won 10 points. Sadly, I have no idea what to actually DO with my points, but I did win them.

Episode 26!

I know it's necromancy of the highest order, but:

Project Binky is now REALLY in colour.

And I'd just like to say, for the record: Called. It.

Yeah in re the above, saw that coming. And the roof. The logo thing was unexpected, though. Very spectacular.

i think this is the longest nik's ever gone without making a bracket. poor chap must be getting withdrawal.

An Internet acquaintance of mine speculates what Blackhurst and Brunning’s next project might be ... if they were living in the Full Throttle universe.

Episode 35, in which the engine goes back in for good!

Until Nik decides there's something that really needs to be improved...

I'm surprised they didn't bench-test the engine before going to all the trouble of assembling most of the car.

For some reason, I have the feeling that the engine will be coming back out in a future video for some dumb reason or another. :)
