Hey Benny, would you make a run of Double Unicorn Stagia merch?
The stagea is definitely one of my favorites from the MCM/BCW/Skid Factory stables. Hope the new owner takes care of it 🙂

Same here, the Stagea, Moogs 240 build and also Moogs Vtech Mini with Miles are 3 of the finest series on KZread, the cross channel colabs were great a few years back. Then we have the whole Cresta story, my favourite car on KZread, close 2nd Too Sexy :oops
I would totally watch a 30 minute video about the story of the engine that took 2 months to go 650kms. Storytime with Benny sounds good.
Almost brought me to tears seeing the Double Unicorn going to a new owner. I understand why, but man it gets me right in the feels.
One of the best looking station wagons ever...
Benny- Really appreciate the hard work and high quality videos during these crazy times. Your work brings a lot of enjoyment to a lot of people so thank you for keeping us entertained each week.

I feel like you'd be the perfect guy to do a "Guide to getting you imported car on the road" video
Loved that Stagea build series with you, Al, and Marty. I hope BCW, TSF, and MCM do another awesome build like that again!
"At some point you have to adult." So true.

It makes me REALLY sad to see the Double Unicorn gone from your hands, really was my favorite car you owned, but i get it, sometimes you have to move on, maybe it will be back to you someday or you will build another one, who knows! Really hope the new owner enjoys it!
Extremely sad day that you have sold the Stsgea😭 Absolutely a sick wagon! Totally understand the shipping delays.
Noooo dont sell the stag! I sold my WGNC34 a few years ago and still regret it.... I hope the new owner is as passionate as you are and looks after her.
Bennys custom works "how to adult right" now that's a sticker I would put on my car

What a legend putting the channel above the attachment to this beauty of a machine!
You have done so many Subaru’s, I bet you could build a “preferred mods” wrx and show us all what you would consider is the right way while providing a bunch of tips & tricks to share your knowledge.

@@EarrGasmm That’s an easy one I would’ve thought? Get to 270kw ish on the stock short block, then sell the Subaru and buy an Evo.
God I hope you got 60k + for it. Such a gorgeous car with so many hours into it
Love watching your channel whatever you put out Benny. No ego, no bulltish, just a true down to earth Aussie that loves what he is doing.
As someone who runs a slowly growing channel (not the one I'm commenting with), overcoming the hurdles of 2020 is nothing to scoff at. The fact that you've put out the content that you have speaks volumes about your love for what you do. thanks Benny!
I'd watch another year of the same kind of videos that you've been putting out over the past one. You don't need to be doing insane one of a kind builds for me to me a massive fan of the channel and watch every single video you put out. Can't get enough of the drag week video conent though.
Farewell double unicorn, thanks for the memories 😭
Well done Benny not many could speak like you did for 23 minutes un-scripted
Congratulations on 100k, big milestone for the channel and a massive head start to the next. Love the professional way you go about things as well as the cheeky short cuts taken every now and then. Great content variety as well, small budget or otherwise you guys have managed to grab an audience and we are here to stay. P.S. we need a walk around of the Buick as well, everyone needs a grouse cruiser in their life!
Thank you for the update - you answered one thing I'd been quite curious about! good luck with the plans
I love your work, and I love being able to sit down and learn about cars, and you enjoy it
Just keep doing what you’re doing. Really enjoy your content. Looking forward to seeing what’s to come
I hope you don't regret too much about selling that Stagea. What a beautiful machine!
Keep going Benny, it's a difficult time for all small businesses but I'll still be watching.
I hope the best for you and your channel. Your honesty and delivery are appreciated by many and your channel has the potential to be one of the best. Gracias por todo!
Keep up the good content Benny ! I look forward every week for yourself , the skid factory and MCM boys 👍🏻
Great work as usual. The background info on past and future plans was fantastic. Nice to hear about the huge network you have to make the channel work so well.
The Double Unicorn Stagea is one of my favorites from the MCM, BCW, SF team. Sad to see it go but looking forward to future builds this change will allow.
Props to you mate smashing through this past year, been rough for everyone man. being out of work for a few months you were my go to channel among the other aussie channels to keep me going, also giving me more insight into barra engines helping me out with my turbo project. I'm in love with the Century man, its just something mad about Toyota shoving those massive engines in cars like those. thats why I like my 30 yr old Soarer so much, top spec, touch screen sat nav, tv with a meaty 1uz v8 manual converted, just so much fun, even though most people just see them as a v8 donor car.
Man seeing the Stagea brings back the memories of watching you all together doing that build. I learned so much from your videos! Keep going, love the channel!
Killing it, Benny! Keep up the rad vids in 2021, you legend xoxo
Thanks for the Q&A. Really glad you took the time to cover the Cresta rego side of things, it was always a question mark over some of the videos. Shame to see the Stagea go, but it sounds like it's for the best. Thanks for keeping channel going and looking forward to it moving onwards and upwards.
Man, that Stagea is an awesome looking thing, the new owner must be rapt. Thanks for all the updates Benny, and for the positivity. I love the variety of cars you have on the channel. All the best for 2021 mate
Glad to hear you're prepping for an epic comeback in 2021! Hope all goes to plan, or close to plan at least lol. Sad to see the Stagea go but that's life I guess. Keep up the great work Benny!
Tough year for everyone buddy. can only get better right? your videos are a breath of fresh air, keep them coming.
Dude, thanks for making the videos. The quality of your videos is quite professional. I enjoy your artistic expression both cinematic and automotive.
Benny we absolutely love what you do. You , mcm and the skid factory are all my favourites. True car enthusiasts. Thanks for doing what you do
I sold my stagea a few years back and I've missed it ever since! They are such a nice and unique vehicle.
Would be really keen so see some more of the FG. That's where my love of this channel came from
100k subscribers. Congrats Ben!
Ilove that wagon Benny you don't need to apologize everybody as been affected by 19 much love from Detroit 👍 THANX
Benny love every single car and video thanks for all the updates mate. Tech of 14+ years on German stuff so I love seeing the stuff you work on as it’s so different and interesting
Looking forward to seeing more on the century. Never seen anything like it. As for the stagea that was an amazing bit of kit!
This car is my favorite car of any from MCM, the skid factory or BCW. It's so awesome.
Keep up the good work. I look forward to each upload each week. It already looks like 2021 is shaping up much better than 2020. Really like the Sigma build.
I don't really have any questions but I just want to say "Thank You" for all the stuff you do on the channel. You do a great job on all your projects and passing on information that a lot of other channels lack. We enjoy all the projects you do regardless of what they are and I know some of the comments can get negative or bring you down sometimes, so I just wanted to say thanks. Keep doing all the great work you do and I am looking forward to seeing you hit 1mill subscribers sooner than you expect.
Dont sweat the keyboard warriors mate your doing a great job
Chin up it’s all going well just keep doing what you love and the people that love it will support and help the dreams come true
Perfect video to listen to while cooking dinner. Keep it up bro, much love from nz
Great video. You thanked a lot of people well I'd like to thank you for starting and continuing this channel! Thank you. Wednesday I keep an eye out for the notification of when a video hits KZread and get on it as soon as I can. Don't think I've seen a video I didn't like watching.
Whatever you end up doing I will still watch. Keep it up man
Between Mighty Car Mods, Skid Factory and BCW the knowledge and the enthusiasm has pushed me to learn how to work on cars, enjoy the learning curve and also to start my own project car. One day in the near future my good mate and I will start posting our own videos. Keep up the amazing work Benny. Look forward to seeing you on the track.
It’s been very unfortunate for everyone global, 2021-22 is the year man! Keep up the grind
Keep on trucking on Benny love your work and channel :D
We love this car much respect to all you guys for building it 🤘🤘 Al - Turbo Yota is a master 👌
Keep doing what you are doing bro!!! Stagea was awesome!!!
One of the best builds ever!

Wish the new keeper all the best of luck with the car, such a good looking build...
I'm sure it was hard to see that Stagea go. It has been one of my all time favorite vehicles since the beginning, so I can only imagine how you feel. I'm super excited to see where you go form here!
Benny, keep doing what you do mate. The Q&A style vids are always enjoyable. Most of us understand that life happens and adulting is something we have to do occasionally. Love the down to earth style of BCW, keep it going.
Sad to see the iconic Stagea go. This is how got to know 2 great channels. Keep up the interesting builds!
Thanks Benny! Keep it up 👍🏼
So sad to see the stages go. 😢 but on to more builds and projects. I get it. Love the content bro. Always appreciate the work and detail you put in. Much love and appreciation from Fort worth, Tx👍✌
I reckon you're doing a good job dude. sorry to see the stag go, just means another build coming right? there hasn't been any content from you we haven't liked. keep it up mate

Benny is a legend, love all the videos and cameos in the mcm videos. The Stagea is a dream car to own over here in the US and will be pretty expensive once it's importable. Keep making the videos and we will keep watching.

Nah, i don't think they will be expensive to import to the states, they built over 100k of that gen Stagea, the expensive ones will be the Autech 260RS, but the normal ones won't be
Always got your back bro 🙏
I never wouldn't have even dared to imagine that you would part with the Stagea. If I had even thought that for a millisecond I would have put a bid in. Would absolutely love to own that car.....
Love this channel. Keep up the good work..
Great vids! You got one of the best attitudes on KZread! Realistic and optimistic Sorry to see the Stag go, but you gotta make room for new!🙌
More track days with any of your cars and detailed builds also a look at your rim collection
Congrats on the 100k subs Benny
First of all, congrats on 100+K subs, I couldn't subscribe fast enough when u started! Loved the Double Unicorn build, I'm a V8 loving fool and it sounds so good. The Buick would be a fantastic build, I own some old iron myself would love to see it. Cheers and on to the next 100K!
One of the best builds to ever be showed on youtube. Onto other things cheers mate
Super sad to see that beast go. Loved it. Onto better things Benny 💪
Love your work and the channel Benny, maintain the rage and super keen to see some vids on the RS Wagon! 😎
Oh man.... sad to see the Stagea go but understandable. You've done great building it and your channel. Absolutely love watching your videos along with MCM and TSF. Difficult times pal but keep plugging away.
Gutted the Stage is gone - great to hear the real life side of things though, thanks for sharing. Cars are expensive and don't pay for themselves as you say! 'on ya Benny!
I bought and modified my Stagea because of your car, love the double unicorn so much, sad to see it go.
I had a knot in my stomach watching the stagea being loaded on to the transporter, that must have been a hard decision to make.
No worries mate... Build on Benny!!🛠
The OG car that guided you down the path of BCW, its sad its gone, but sometimes we can't keep all of our toys. Keep it up guys and can't wait for the future projects
Must be hard to let this car go. My favourite car on your channel but I’m glad it’s going to a good place and helps your channel mate. Really would like to see another build with you and the skid factory guys again. That was a great collab
I'm sad to see the stag go. But so keen for the future of bcw, onya Benny. Your killing it bro
Still an awesome looking car... Keep up the good work guys & looking forward to the future content!
Love the Century, the Sigma, the Cresta, all the builds. The maintenance videos are great, look forward to more. Hopefully you can do more cool collabs with Al and Woody, MCM soon! Archy drifts would be sick!
A Stagea drove past me before and it sounded a bit weird, like it was a turbo v8. Then I see you’ve uploaded a video that you’ve sold this beast! Such a cool build, on to bigger and better things!
Thank you Benny.. love your videos...
It’ll be sad to see the Stagia go, but understand why you’re selling it. We can tell you’re an honest and genuine person and the same can be said for the channel. I think that’s why the channel is growing in popularity
So the beast has moved. The turbo V8 swap is a perfect fit for that massive wagon and it sounded awesome in the double unicorn vids. No doubt the new caretaker will have his share of fat grins at the helm. Change is natural. Lots more to come. Peace out.
Sad to see the car go. I loved that build. Kinda Unique car. Hope the new owner will love to drive it a lot.
Great Benny, keep it up.
Appreciate the vids mate, keep up the great work 👍
Never change Benny you are one of the most legit blokes
