Howie Did It - Retrimming Honda S2000 seats
Bad Obsession Motorsport - Project Binky - S0 - E23
It’s not often you get to see the nitty gritty of a retrimming project, so we thought it might be cool to let you all in behind the scenes at Trimworks while Dean brought Nik’s vision for Binky’s seats to life. There’s hog rings and listings, stitching and scrim foam and all kinds of terms I’d never come across before. Dean is an artist, so it was fantastic to watch him work his magic.

0x8 - Unplugged. Q&A Session Volume 2
January 31, 2018
Here's another Q&A video; the second installment. Shot in a freezing cold workshop, we hope this explains some of the burning questions you might have. There's plenty of questions unanswered, so we might shoot another one, time willing. Don't worry, work continues on the Mini... Hope you enjoy it!
0x9 - Howie Did It - Machining the flexi-shaft auxiliary drive. Part 1
November 19, 2018
This is part one of how we made the flexi-shaft auxiliary drive system in episode 20 of Project Binky. There was far too much to show in the normal episode run-time, so we thought we'd make an additional series of videos going into a bit more detail of how we did it.
0x10 - Howie Did It - Machining the flexi-shaft auxiliary drive. Part 2
November 26, 2018
This is part two of how we made the flexi-shaft auxiliary drive system in episode 20 of Project Binky. In this part, we make the brackets to hold the alternator, a pulley, an adaptor and then put it all together. There was far too much to show in the normal episode run-time, so we thought we'd make an additional series of videos going into a bit more detail of how we did it. Hope you enjoy it.
0x11 - Life After Death's Horse
March 16, 2019
Just a quick video detailing what's coming up after the mini is completed. And a call for some help...
0x12 - The Escargot - RV/Camper Car Transporter Conversion - Part 1
April 13, 2019
In part one of our side project, we take a 34 year old ex-library bus and begin its transformation into what we hope will be a hotel on wheels with the added bonus of being able to transport any of our vehicles at the same time. The venerable truck needs to go on a diet, so out come the power tools...
0x13 - Howie Did It - Hydraulic Lifting Platform
May 27, 2019
This is a video on how we went about creating a lifting, lowering, movable hydraulic platform capable of supporting around a tonne. Nothing suitable was available to buy, so we made one. This is how we did it.
0x14 - The Escargot - RV/Camper Car Transporter Conversion - Part 2
June 8, 2019
In part two of our side project, we continue the transformation of a 34 year old ex-library bus into a hotel on wheels/car transporter. In this part, we try and shed a little more weight from the truck by taking a look at what lurks beneath the floor...
0x15 - The Escargot - RV/Camper Car Transporter Conversion - Part 3
August 4, 2019
In part 3 of our side project, we play with a telehandler, do powerslides around a damp field and replace the engine in the Cargo.
0x16 - An Understanding Enhancement
October 13, 2019
We try and answer some of the more frequent questions we get asked across our social media platforms. Doing it this way was significantly less arse than replying individually.
0x17 - The Escargot - RV/Camper Car Transporter Conversion - Part 4
November 10, 2019
In part 4 of our side project, Nik reveals his cunning plan much to Richard's chagrin. We do some more stripping, more drilling, and there's a lot more impact gun action. The front axle gets some attention as we aim to get the truck back on her wheels.
0x18 - The Outtakes Part 5. Strong language
April 2, 2020
We figured in the current rather uncertain climate you might like to have a laugh at our expense. So we whipped up another one of our outtakes videos - the first for a while - to hopefully bring you some cheer. With hours and hours of footage shot for each episode, we're bound to get some things wrong. And we get it wrong more than most probably. Feast on our f-ups; we hope you get a kick out of them!
0x19 - The Escargot - RV/Camper Car Transporter Conversion - Part 5
April 13, 2020
In part 5 of our side project, we swap the rear axle for a much more modern unit from the DAF. But not before making even more mess of the poor old Cargo. The running gear exchange gets completed.

December 25, 2020
Faced with the reality of having to make a complete set of extended wheel arches for our turbo charged, 4WD monster mini, a chance meeting with a mad Spaniard gave us pause for thought. What if we could get someone else to do it? That was the main motivation behind this experiment in creating a bespoke body kit from 3D printed plastic.
0x23 - Howie Did It - Retrimming Honda S2000 seats
May 1, 2022
It’s not often you get to see the nitty gritty of a retrimming project, so we thought it might be cool to let you all in behind the scenes at Trimworks while Dean brought Nik’s vision for Binky’s seats to life. There’s hog rings and listings, stitching and scrim foam and all kinds of terms I’d never come across before. Dean is an artist, so it was fantastic to watch him work his magic.
0x24 - Best of Binky Gag Reel
April 2, 2023
Well it was inevitable really, all good shows eventually pull one together while they’re working on the next episode. And yes we have been working on it, learning new skills and pioneering new techniques and we're almost at the end of a mammoth task. While we put the finishing touches to it, here's the Best of Binky Gag Reel!
