Seeing Binky close to completion is so bitter sweet. My mate who I grew up with passed away last year at 25. We loved cars together, from elementary school to building and modifying our dream JDM machines (My S13 and his AW11). With every new release, we would race to notify each other and gush over it for weeks. I'm so pleased that the book of Binky is so near a beautiful conclusion, but so crushed he won't be here to see it shine in all its octarine glory. Thankfully every time I see this magnificent creation or get a notification of an upload, its a fantastic reminder of him, all the memories, busted knuckles, crazy bench builds, and times we shared together.

You guys are heroes for some of us bracket making fabricators around the world. Years of watching this car come together has been amazing. Thanks !

To thank Richard didn't have twins when they started 😂 it just shows how long This build took to get to this point and people watching theses car shows go it should only take about a week or so yeah. This is beautiful stellar work Guys

I was about to make some snarky, smart-ass remark about how long this project has taken... but Nick's defeated look at 2:00 stopped me dead in my tracks. So, let me break from character and actually just be honest: You guys have done an ABSOLUTELY and UTTERLY PHENOMENAL job! This is beyond any shadow of doubt the single most amazing work of automotive ARTWORK on the whole of KZread. And the fact that it's taken so long to complete is not at all a detriment, but rather a testament, to the incredible amount of work you guys have put into it. From my neck of the world, here in Arizona, my sincerest of congratulations, Gentlemen, on a job so well done, I simply have no words to describe it. I don't know what ya'lls next project will be, but I look forward to spending the next 45 years following it! 😜

I’ve replied this to BOM’s regular content several times, but I hope they sort out the LSD’s some due to the greater power.....an open front differential with a viscous center LSD is NOT a good combo of you want to put the power to the ground and turn.....with all the potential extra power, it seems this is an oversight that will need changed, and these aftermarket LSD’s are off the shelf / available for the Celica drivetrain.....if it doesn’t get driven in anger though / is only a show car, then this modification is unnecessary.

Some say, when Project Binky started, all of those Historic Rally Group B cars were still on the drawing board.

I think, more than anything, that little white car represents hours and hours of thoughtful, clever and wonderfully humorous entertainment. More than a car, its a personification of Englishness at its finest ! = )

You can see the utter exhaustion in Nik and Richard's faces. What an absolutely incredible accomplishment the entire car has been, and especially getting it ready for this show. And the tremendous character of these two guys for holding it together with smiles on their faces throughout. I only wish I could have been there to see this in person.

With as much anticipation that the Internet car world has about seeing Binky running, I can’t imagine how Nik and Richard are dealing with it going out to its first showing. Now we wait for another 2 years to finish the fiddly bits. Congrats on getting so close to the finish line.

What's happening here is what happens when a modern day legend is present. You have solidified your presence in Automotive youtube royalty, and Binky joins a special group of the best of the best iconic cars in the world. You both should be very proud. Cheers from Perth western Australia

Binky sounded a lot better than it did in that quick clip posted las year. Nice lot of classic rally cars too.

This reminds me of the longest CCC build series ever, and then some. They always made it seem so easy. "Having watched the videos for soooo many years." LOL! Anyway, it's great seeing the Brits bring out irreplaceable rare rally cars and race them like crashing would be no big deal. The American version of this is roll them off the trailer, clean them, drive them slowly round a dry tarmac course, far away from danger, then put them back in the trailer.

Started watching when you bought the Mini, I’ve enjoyed your antics and obsession for detail way too much, but didn’t think my retirement in June was going to happen before your Amazing Piece Of Engineering was finished. Keep up the great work, but realize that some of us are older than you and have a limited time to see this project through to its rightful end, abusing British back roads. Thanks for your entertaining bracket making obsession. Peter

If I knew I could met you guys....I'd gladly travel there from Switzerland...I'm watching your stuff for nearly 10 years or so since the first Binky episode😊

If I saw this without any context id probably think "oh, that's a pretty clean widebody mini, sounds a bit weird though" but with context i'm crying happy tears and jumping around the room. Well done lads, top shelf stuff

Yet another reason to get back on the Escargot! 😉

Binky rocks… I started watching with my baby son when he still sucked on his own ‘Binky’ but now that he’s in college, I have all the time in the world 😉

Well done fellas truly wonderful seeing Binky out and about! Looks like 8 years were well spent and I can't wait to see how Binky does on time trials next season.

This thing is going to sound so good once it's mapped, that little taster driving it down the road and back to the trailer sounded amazing already

I’ve just started binge-watching all the episodes again and it serves as a great reminder for just how much work has gone into this! Looking forward to watching the remaining episodes as they are released and seeing you guys being driven nuts as you finish your snagging list. Awesome job 👏

I admire the fact that you blokes have run a business alongside building Binky. The fans are in the teasing phase now, as Binky staggers toward the finish line, but it's all in good humour, and I think most of us are just as keen to see The Snail coming along too.

Been along for the ride since the beginning. This is the first time I really got a feel for how infinitesimally small Binky is. You guys really are mental! 😁❤

I could not imagine seeing Binky and the fellas in person. And being there with all those classics…and the sounds OMG!!! Great day!

Guys, the mini looks absolutely gorgeous in motion. I've been watching since about episode 3 and the progress you've made has been absolutely phenomenal. Such an inspiration.

Excellent episode! So nice to see that Binky is alive and breathing, and the vintage rally machinery was the icing on the cake.

Welcome back! Hoping to see you guys more frequently. 🇨🇦

Been following this build since the beginning and I was lucky enough to see binki at this event, with how well these videos are put together it does not do it justice the level of work and detail are beyond words top work lads can't wait to see binki at 100% soon

Why does Binky make me smile so much when i simply see it? It is amazing, thank you so much for this project.

Seeing it out of the shop and riving around really gives a sense of how incredibly wide the track is on Binky. You absolute madmen. E aho laula.

Since Binky started and I am here from beginig (!) i had two sons, two companies, build a house, started motorsport career myself. I am now polish vice champion... In MINI.... I am dead serious.

You guys are fantastic. The stuff you fabricate is on another level even as far as having the nuts and bolts, etc, cleaned and re-plated.It's a work of art!! Well done, lads!! I can't wait to see what power it makes. It's priceless!!

Thank you so much for all the effort. Really Really appreciated!

YAY! A new Project Binky video! Glad to see you all are full at it!

congratulations guys, it's been a long but awesome build and anything worth doing is worth doing it right and you two have mastered this.

8 years I have waited to see that drive.. so worth it.. very well done

That is well worth the wait! All those beautiful classics doing what they were built for and such a nice spot for the rally!

Watching this project come together makes me consider my own insane project ideas more seriously. Your dedication and ingenuity to seeing this project through is incredibly inspiring and will continue to drive many people to do similar absolutely uncalled for things to their own cars. Cheers Binky team!

I truly hope that event goes stratospheric, it was awesome to see so many stunning cars with of course the cream of the crop Binky looking resplendent. Thank you, Lads.

Because I suddenly felt an irrepressible urge to do some utterly unnecessary calculations, I decided to work out the average spacing between Project Binky video releases. I looked up the date that Episode 1 was released (August 17, 2013), and the date that Episode 37 was released (December 18, 2021) and used a spreadsheet to calculate the number of days in between those two. I then divided that number by 36, which is the number of gaps between the 37 episodes, and discovered that the average gap between releases turned out to be 84.5833333333333 days (give or take a few nanoseconds). This, as it turns out, is remarkably close to the length of 3 lunar months. Have I just proven with maths that both Nik and Richard are very close to being classifiable as lunatics?

The starting episodes were really quite infrequent, my guess due to it at the time being more of a hobby project being funded out of their own pockets. They're far more regular now, due to the Patreon and the success of the KZread channel, so if you did a graph of time gap per video you'd see it progressively reduce

After many years of watching this car being built, I just bought my first mug, hoodie and hat from your store. Good job boys! can't wait to see it race!

It's great to see her alive, it's so wide I love it!!! There's such great rally cars in action, so cool!

Seeing that shot of it in the field when they were driving it really brought home how ridiculously wide this thing really is.... I love it!

Some of us have been watching you for years, we want to see you succeed !!!! Never underestimate the community love for your project binky !!

It’s truly stunning to see just how small Binky really is! You are hilariously master craftsmen! Stunning!

When my grandfather came to America in the 1940’s he came with a story about a mini-celica conversion car. Fast forward to the 1990s and I started following this series. Fast forward yet again to ten years ago and………. I digress. I love the series. I love the car. I love the builders. You guys are the best. ✌️

Love the Binky, you fellas are pretty Kool as well, many thanks for sharin.

You guys are awesome. Binky is awesome. Keep up the great build. I throughly enjoy it! Thanks from Pennsylvania USA

Been watching this for years, it finally started and looking like a complete car. Well done guys!

Warms the cockles of my heart to see Binky out in the wild. Eight long, hard years. Hope the alternator drive issues are now resolved. Loved the clutch pedal solution, great piece of engineering as with many other things Binky. Look forward to seeing this with the final few jobs sorted and ‘shaken down’. Grand job lads 👍

great work guys, great job the car looks great, I know its gonna sound killer when you get everything mapped out ecu side of it, also thanks for the great heritage rally stuff those cars are amazing

What a piece of machinery With great brackets. All hand made one offs Nice sparky work tidy 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🦄😁🤞✌

And this time it will be finished..... It was great to see the car there last year. Massive thanks for the huge efforts you put in the achieve that.

great job getting the Mini out there in the wild, and finally moving under its own power (though untuned). very nice to see a GT-Four there as well, upon which Binky's mechanical underpinnings are based. hope to see it in amongst the crowd this year, from this side of the pond.

It’s alive and me too, congrats lads a huge effort and the size of the crowds around binky. Gold.

Man... It's like a dream come true to see the mini is know ... Running and moving and out in the open

You have managed to prove to people that Binky isn't CGI! Nice job guys. 🙂👍

Awesome to watch years of hard work and impressive fabrication/CAD coming together. Keep it up!

So awesome to see Binky finally with rubber to the road. As everyone there, and here in webland, lookin' forward to the next video!

Its been so long, its hard to believe its finally moving...coolest car project on the 'tube!

Cheers guys, lovely feel good video. HRF 2022 has been entered in the diary.

It's lovely to see your beast out in the wild, seeing all those classic cars rallying about made me wish I was there. I even spotted a Ford Crapi actually running and in one piece but all I really wanted to see was Project Binky, the over compensating for something beast. Awesome!
