A good car documentary at last... Project Binky

I know it's not Rover/MG, but it's a great documentary and much better than a lot of these car flipping things on telly at the moment. It's an Austin Mini which is being converted to run on Toyota Celica GT4 running gear

As you say, a great little programme.

Yup - quite disapointed when I got to the end. I suppose it'll be one episode every few weeks from now on, so will have to be patient - I have subscribed to the channel to make sure I don't miss any. They are certainly doing a thorough job.
