Bad Obsession Motorsport - Binky

[Noel Tidybeard]

when you got that much power H4 lights prolly "aint gonna cut the mustard"

 

 

plus remember the A/S mantra "their car, they can do what they want" 😁

[St.Jude]

Bored of Binky.

Where's the MG sports car?!

This.  

Especially if Blackhurst builds them himself from 2mm sheet offcuts.  Which he would.  With brackets.

I get the feeling that was cobbled together to stop them haemorrhaging patreon supporters.

Can't help but think after all that work building and planning binky,that it will be a fragile and unusable end result. 

That cable drive to the alternator and air con pump especially.

Binky update, well not really, Just a gag real.

Still good though; (Alpine racing , missed that the first time)

[junkyarddog]

Apparently a new episode is not far off.

[5speedracer]

Finish Binky, do the truck and the MG. Should keep them busy for a bit.

Poor from them really to of not released a video for such a long time. I appreciate these things take time but there has to be a video more than once a year.
I suspect I will watch the video and fully appreciate why it took so long as always but there has to be something to keep me going. It's been SO long since it started and SO long since the last update.
Escargot, budget racing series etc is the perfect filler content that would keep us engaged. As others are mentioning we just want the next project now. At their rate of builds they might only have 1 or 2 left in them before they retire

Yep, I started watching the series with interest and awe, and as time has gone on it's become sort of a morbid curiosity, just watching the videos makes me stressed out, thinking of the level of overcomplication in so many areas that will no doubt make the car incredibly needy. 

It's trying to do too many things at once in too small of a space, it just seems like hard work to me

 

EDIT: but it's not my car is it so I should probably stop being such a miserable cunt.

According to a friend who is vaguely in the know BOM are swamped with car prep work (Cant think why!) and are really focused on that. You Tube appears to be very much on the back burner, shame but understandable.

Last episode was 18 months ago!

Been subscribed to BOM channel for years but never watched an episode of Binky. Figured I'd binge watch it when it was finished, but here we are....

[Pieman]

By the time they finish this thing they'll be too old and infirm to drive it!

As I suspected, my Dad died before they finished it!

How will they ever get it (legally) registered for the road again after all the mods?  The points system the DVLA use would see it on the Q plate in an instant.

I don't see the issue because by the time its ready to hit the ready you wont be able to legally drive a petrol car anyway...... 

 

No seriously unless they are totally taking the piss it will need IVA or BIVA or what ever its called and rock that Q plate!

I think the ex mobile Library will be similarly difficult!

I have to admit, I used to follow this religiously even dragged my other half to Weston Park Rally day to see Binky in the metal a few years ago, but I now find it hard to maintain enthusiasm due to the lack of content...... I might watch the new episode, maybe....

In the same.  Used to love it.  I’m borderline indifferent now.

It’ll be interesting to see what the viewing figures are compared to previous episodes.  Maybe the radio silence will be yesterdays news and it’ll become very popular again.

This is an hour of my life I won’t get back.

[Dyslexic Viking]

After watching this I understand why it took so long before a new video came out. And my brain now hurts.

Don’t worry, this sets it up for another video where they end up using a proper PCB because what they’ve done hasn’t handled the vibrations and environment of a Mini on British roads.

[UltraWomble]

F*King 3d print solder? 

Just get a custom made pcb they are hardly expensive ffs

How long has it been? And that’s all they were doing.

I think I might be done with it tbh.

[Dyslexic Viking]

I have a feeling that in 2055 this will be finished and on the first drive it will be wiped out by a Tesla with an auto pilot error.

And all this was for nothing.

[w00dy]

I feel like they're delaying finishing it because it'll never live up to the vision of a perfect Mini that they have in their heads. I'm past caring at this point.

Very bad episode for them to come back with. They need to finish it, show what it's capable of and do some other mad shit. Talk about how to kill enthusiasm for a project.
Escargot I was really enjoying.
The cheap race series was great.
Binky was great.
That last episode was anything but.
