Great episode. Hope that primer isn't indicative of the final choice of colour though!

8.00 pm tonight.

The Grand Tour or the Mini.

Difficult decision

I wonder if the Bad Obsession duo have been approached by anyone from TV land?

Perhaps once the project is finished (if it can ever be classed as finished - I bet they'll be tinkering with it for years) as I doubt TV execs would want a show that is updated every 3 months! (not a criticism by the way - I love the updates)

Surely the current arches are the perfect starting point to make some moulds for a bit of carbon weave vacuum layup work, sorry didn't mean to erm call anyone Shirley!

Thanks Rich!

So, is nik going to be dedicating more of his time to Binky now? Any idea on a new frequency for video updates? Once a month? Could there be more questions?

I'd like to know how 25 minutes feels like 5... I could watch for hours, some incredible skill and craftsmanship!

I don't understand why they didn't use the freely available rover templates to mark the wings out for the hole drilling and cutting - that would have shown the shoddy bmh wing stamping up a lot sooner

also, why not use the aftermarket fibreglass sports park arches, they are about a thousand times better than those cheap floppy copy rubber ones.

it must have been easier to cut a fibreglass arch in half - at least it wouldn't have lost its shape!

I enjoyed the first season of Fast n Loud but it's become over dramatised bks IMHO, Binky is much more interesting tv and, of course, has a British sense of humour.
