    2020 has been full of the strangest happenings, not least among them is that we've actually finished a project. This one is done and dusted for the most part and we're already back on the other two after an enforced hiatus. Apologies for the delay in bringing you our normal shows, but it was out of our control. Hope you enjoy this in the meantime and don't worry, more Binky and Escargot is coming your way soon.

      I needed a small adapter for something at home and I ended up making a template, transfering it to steel, cutting it out with a grinder, bending it by hand into a circle, folding the edges and squeezing them together with a press, finishing it off with a twatting stick.
      Moments later I found myself looking at MIG welders online.

      It’s a wise man that knows he’s not ready or skilled enough to move on from a black marker.
      Sadly some falsely believe they possess the needed skills and others are completely oblivious to the needed skills meaning that many people are wielding markers well beyond their skill levels.
      You in your wisdom are very close to graduating to a blue marker at the very least.

    Edit: And you know what? It does matter. When a tech inspector is looking over a car and sees that attention was paid to such a seemingly insignificant detail, their impression will likely be that attention was equally paid to the things that *are* important.

      But at that point you should probably just buy a Yaris SR as they are pretty cheap anyway.

    A neat trick to getting the window winders off with those sort of clips.... is to get a rag, slide it between the door card and handle and start sawing with the rag, this action catches the rag on the two 'ears' of the open side of the clip which in turn pulls it off the spline shaft. For years i mamed, marred and just straight f**ked trims and winders until i learnt this method. Alas..... great to see you two back with some more crazy shenanigans, stay safe over there!

    I don't care what anyone says, Aygos and C1s are rad little cars. My mate used to have one and even the standard car was fun to rag about B roads. You could hold it at rev limiter and eventually it'd start popping and banging like all the cool kids and it's throw the odd flame from the exhaust too. Such a funny little car, i'd love to race one.
