There must be a limit to the number of things they can make an interesting half hour video about, though; hence my sump gasket comment.
If there was somehow a 15 hour bespoke solution that was an improvement to a sump gasket, I’d happily watch them make it!

Though I wouldn’t have even considered a bonnet hinge or existing wiper set could be so comprehensively reworked!

It's great to watch but it's blatantly obvious that they're stringing it out. At least an episode every 2-ish months means we get updates when we can still remember the last one!
I think its great, it gives people who otherwise have no idea just how long it takes to do a bespoke job nicely. Its great for me, I hope all my customers are watching it and starting to appreciate just how much work goes into stuff like this.

Or the mixing up of .75 and .57

I kept thinking it might get mentioned or corrected with a sarky comment at some point but wasn't.
Yes, I noticed that but he used the correct figure in his calcs so I forgave it.

...so, following the banning of IC engines we need to get this reactor to fit under the original mini bonnet with the force field pedestrian activator equipment and the auto drive detectors. I think we need a cup of synthetic tea to work this one out....

I'm continually surprised by how much effort they're putting into even small details.

They won’t say yet. Lots of guessing over on Twitter.

They were asking around for italian specialists the other week, and describe it as mental.

Thankfully, they have confirmed they won't be waiting to finish Binky before at least revealing this...otherwise we'd be seeing it in six years ;)

Typical that a senior member of the armed forces gets special treatment. :evil:

What about that guy Joe Public? When does he get to view? :evil:

And what about the rest of us? What happened to equality? :evil:

As enjoyable as ever 8-) I have a bit of a cabling fetish anyway so that was right up my street, especially when they got the label maker out. :D

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on
