The thing is.. they several different custom made parts/brackets etc which makes the mini so heavy, the power to weight ratio is compromised, i betya at the end, the power to weight ratio will become that of a classic mini with an 850cc engine.

Excellent episode as usual! One question though. Are angry rabbits related to devil bunnies? I miss the USENET.

Using the world's wobbliest drill press.

Cut this off with the Fate Worse Than Death saw.

Grind it smooth with the angry bit.

Excellent.  Having done ground ups and a complete chassis replacement I know what it takes to do what they do - and with minimal equipment.  Wow.

You're supposed to put **Spoiler Alert** before saying something like that...

EDIT for Alex SPOILER ALERT. Nice to see Ed China has found a new gig since his departure from Wheeler Dealers

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

WHOOPS! just posted then deleted the SAME thing.

Here's what I had though.

The new episode is out. 45,000 hits in one day. These guys are the most amazing fabricators I have ever seen. The attention to detail and drive to make every single bracket perfect it humbling.

For the record, at 14:40 the stopwatch isn't moving. That means it took even LONGER than they clocked.

I'd guessed who the cameo was, but I suspect the never-ending titles will mean a lot of people won't see the punchline.

Watched it last night - is it just me or was it a weaker episode without the usual quality content ?
