Bad Obsession Motorsport - Binky

[Micrashed]

Anyone else following this build project on You Tube? Ive found it both fun and very interesting so far.

amazing work,more please.

[twosmoke300]

What's left is about as mini as my Saab 9-5

[Micrashed]

amazing work,more please.

 

Well, there is that "its not a mini" any more, but Im just enjoying the engineering and fabrication going into this.

[cobblers]

The less mini left the better in my book. TOP STUFF!

[Felly Magic]

Been watching this since day one. The insanity level is off the scale. 

[xtriple]

Well, I could make the jigs... they wouldn't fit of course, but I could make 'em! These guys are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Felly Magic]

They consume almost as much tea as me!!!!

[sheffcortinacentre]

that's what I love the engineering

[jakebullet]

If only it had been posted before eastenders!

[Honey Badger]

Latest episode.

 

[Felly Magic]

These guys are brilliant, even making answers to questions nobody asks. This is going to be one seriously mental Mini when complete

[sheffcortinacentre]

yet again amazing

[Al Bundy]

So much better than the crap car shows on the telly

[Matt]

Love this video series, I can't help but call them totally mental in my head several times each episode but the stuff they come up with is brilliant. I sincerely hope that they do another series with another car when Binky is finished.

I think a lot of the "innovation" is done to aid the publicity for BOM as much as "just for the hell of it". Its bloody good though.

[Station]

I'll watch this if they aren't up speaking,don't call each dude or bro, and call an mx5 a Miata.

[Felly Magic]

They consume tea by the gallon as well. If in doubt, put the kettle on seems to be their motto

[michael1703]

How heavy is the mini going to be though?

[Geep]

Great find but did anyone notice the mig they are using?

I'm sure the whole 'show' is a marketing ruse; they are two engineers/mechanics yet the show has been pretty tight, well produced and funny right off the bat with episode one, if someone told me that there wasn't a professional or two behind the scenes I wouldn't believe them. If the whole thing is a marketing thing then props to whoever set it up as it's damn near perfect in that respect. I don't care either way, it's very entertaining regardless.

I bought a BOM mug anyway. My son nicked it off me.

 

Binky isnt the first Mini Hybrid they have made...

Thanks for all the comments. We're having a blast bringing this project to you all. 

 

We can assure you that there's no professionals behind the scenes at all. It's just two 'normal' blokes from Shropshire doing their weekend project, only filming it as we go along. Neither of us had any prior film-making experience and the while thing is produced with about £800 worth of gear and a £70 piece of editing software. And time, lots of time. It takes on average 4 hours of post production for every minute of video. We are quite literally making the whole thing up as we go along so it's very flattering that you might think there's some brains behind it all when there really isn't. 

 

We're utterly blown away by the enthusiastic response; we genuinely thought we might get a few hundred views, so to crack a million a few weeks ago is just a little bit humbling to be honest. 

 

Anyway, thanks for watching, we'll get back to getting episode 9 up as soon as we can. 

 

Cheers.

It's a great show guys, you're very talented. I like the narration myself, It's very entertaining.

[Felly Magic]

Whoa, the lads at BOM have graced our humble beige forum. Keep it up lads

There is nowt normal about grafting a 4x4 Celica into a mini body and all the fabrication you are doing.

 

I think were all pretty blown away by the fabrication skillorz you are demonstrating, and only possibly all of us sat there thinking "that needs pumping full of cavity wax" when looking at sections being welded up ( but then this is a forum for shit old cars where rust is the enemy, and normally the most exciting thing that happens here is Mr Bo11ox revives a kettle series Rover from the dead).

 

Well done.

[Pillock]

I realised that I can stream YouTube to my new Xbox one.

 

Within minutes, Mrs_Pillock was watching Episode 1 of Binky. She enjoyed it but wants to know why the car was named after Death's Horse

 

I'm going to turf the boy off Forza in a sec and watch some more.
