ARTY SHOTS / quick cuts and horrific overlaid music is the best way for me to close tab. Fuuuuuuuuuucking hell they ruined what should have been the best video

Petrolicious does that to all their videos, which is why I stopped watching them. "We have access to this unique automobile for the day! Lets do rack focuses, cover the engine sound with music and narration and concentrate more on the owner's boring back story!"

I should start a gofundme for a video series where we just get a good driver/rider, a memorable bike or car, and take them to a legendary road, cameras everywhere, mic EVERYTHING and make that fucker sing down that road all day until we get all the shots we need and put a clean edit on youtube. First video: how about an Aprilia SXV550 on Old Spiral Highway in Idaho?

To be fair I quite like the stories, there was an old guy who rebuilt Impalas and he was just a straight Don.

Petrolicious should do these videos as a partner to every story vid imo.

New Project Binky for Patreon subscribers, meaning new Project Binky for everyone tomorrow.

drat, they weren't kidding about putting these out faster. It's been ~ a month for the last few, whereas before that I remember it being something like six or eight months. According to the email, there will be another one in a few weeks since this one was so big they couldn't fit it into a 30 minute video.

Then it'll throw a piston or something the first time they start the engine and it's a two year repair job.

God they haven't even TALKED about what they're doing to the engine. Is it a turbo? I don't remember. I'd think they have to go NA at this point, just because it doesn't seem like there's room for turbo piping, but I thought they've mentioned turbos in older videos.

I'm guessing they're not going to get crazy with power, since it's supposed to be a road car and doesn't have a cage.

Pretty sure the Celica AWD they robbed everything from was a turbo GT-S.

I love project Binky. The amount of skill these dudes have in manual mill/lathe, not to mention grinding and welding is so entertaining to watch.

Alright, let's do this

I would say this is giving me some dirty, dirty ideas for my comet, but truth be told it was going this way anyways.

Also Binky is a piece of art, everything about it is just brilliant. At this point it's not a mini, it's a full on custom car that just happens to use some mini bits.

The chances of a car like Binky existing again are so small just because the people with the necessary skill and people with the necessary time and people with the necessary resources and the people with the necessary motivation overlap so incredibly rarely it's like watching Haley's Comet. You just have to watch.

Its turbo -They haven't gotten to the mount the turbo part yet. The exhaust is already there. Also in one of the earlier episodes they made provision for a cage if so desired.
