Binky #35 today

2:00 PM Eastern, BOM will be dropping episode 35. 
 

Spoiler alert ......

Lots got done !

Just watched it myself.   Massive OCD in the most amazing ways possible.  

Every new episode now I start to get the sickening feeling that they will actually drive it and screw up that beautiful undercarriage.

And then I think about how much money they could sell it for in today's market.

And then I wonder if them driving it first would be helpful or harmful to the auction value...

So satisfying watching this come together.

It's not being built for auction. This is Nick's toy IIRC.

In fact, Binky is the spectator safety car for the Historic Rally Festival in about a week and a half. So we'll have a bunch of amateur video of the car on gravel stages soon enough! Not at full chat - that's not what a safety car does - but self propelled and not at walking pace.

The sheer foresight of everything done in this build is what really stands out to me every time. Not sure that glued-in carpet is highly serviceable, but well protected and well built wires shouldn't need to be removed.

I know they're not intending to sell, but everything is for sale (for the right price). And that is a weird catch 22 they've put themselves in.

Build your dream car so that you can do whatever you want, but then it becomes worth so much money that your decisions of how to enjoy it are suddenly worth 5 figures. Or insuring it becomes ridiculously expensive. Or you're a builder not a collector and you want to move onto the next project and 500k would be a real nice start.

I'm kind of hoping it ends up on Harry's garage for a review at some point, if it were to be sold that's where I'd want to see it end up as well but I don't think that will happen.

Selling your dream car does no good if you'd only want to spend the money on a dream car, and obviously you can't buy a car like that so you'd have to build it. "Anything has a price" only if there's something you can do with that price.

I was nervous the whole episode, expecting to hear tale of the injury one of them suffered, but it never came. 

Seems like it wasn't so serious that they didn't put out a new episode, so that's a good sign. 

Very entertaining, as always.
