    Nothing was more further from the truth.I saw him riding wonderfully powerful but controllable motor cycles. Truly interesting watching

    A gifted engineer by any standard, he is able to build very presentable machines and remain quite modest about his achievement.

    I especially like the line from the Millyard Flyer episode where he says something along the lines of "I couldn't get the carburettors to work properly so I made my own" - as you do...

    And using simple tools. Heard him say that much of his prep work, cutting crank cases and heads into pieces to graft other bits on, was done with a hacksaw and a file. Although he now has a milling machine.

    Malcolm Oastler is an Australian internationally credited open wheel race car designer and has just started a new project. He is typically the dead opposite to most Youtubers in that he gets right to the point and does not waste words. His series on his new hill climb car is also worth a watch as all his videos are.

    Fast Matt is building a Mk 5 Jag using a Tesla driveline. He is an engineer who has worked for Tesla in the past and is one very knowledgeable man.

    Ricky owns a high performance Audi workshop in the UK. Normally I don't watch this type of series but he is into the technical stuff in a big way but low key on camera. He ranges from falling off his race bike to explaining stuff the ins and outs of how motors are built.

    Enjoy!

    What on earth will we have to look forward to, when the wonderfully unique Binky is completed.?

    It almost has become an institution with me ,not quite an Obsession. Can't speak for anyone else but I have become a Binkyphile.

    Somehow tidying up a dirty old van does not seem like a good substitute.

    I can't really imagine myself waiting in anticipation over the race car hauler.

    And they finally returned from the spring makers ready for use.

    I liked escargot too, but I wonder whether they got too adventurous...
