Bad Obsession Motorsport - Project Binky - A 2 Litre, Turbocharged, 4wd Austin Mini.

The Mini project started 7 years ago with Nik and Rich. Good watch, especially if you enjoy attention to detail, cocking about and bespoke 'brackets'.

I love minis, classics as well as the German ones.
The most impressive classic I’ve ever seen was a 4WD Cooper S which had race tuned engines in the front and back. It was fantastically engineered but still looked authentically period.

 

I've been following this with much appreciation. Their work is very impressive packing all the turbo 4WD mechanicals into the Mini and the only obvious evidence is the wide arches.
Talking of 4WD Minis, a bloke I know owns this which is a works car built in 10 days apparently, to take on the 4WD works Ford Capris in rallycross.

 

Just been looking at the 6R4 metro - £180,000 - £200.000 flippin ek!!

 

Because of it's provenance, this modest wee car may well approach that kind of money (though it's not for sale AFAIK)

 

Watched the fluid lines fitting episode and now hooked, good dry intelligent engineering

 

Watched the electronics episode, gonna have to go through them all!!!

 

binged it back in April when I was recovering. I can't imagine how many hours have gone into it.

 

Have you watched escargo by the same bunch of nutty engineers?

 

yes, seemed alot of work, even if it means you don't need the extra licences.
