OK, so the BOM youtube channel is obviously the greatest, but what other channels do people follow? Toms Turbo Garage and his latest project to put a LS3 into a MX5 has been brilliant. Any other recommendations?

My Daily rag had a story about banning internal combustion engines in UK, how will this affect the Lads and the Shed? The article said that they are moving it up due to Brexit so trying for 2030 for a complete ban..??? Not a lot of info here in the Colonies....any recommended sites

Been watching episode 4 again and I've spotted something that may or may not be relevant: The DAF frame is (I think) constant section height. The Ford frame narrows in height underneath the cab - i.e. it is taller underneath the rear spring hangers than the front ones. The top of the frame remains horiz...

Question, In the States driving a truck with air-brakes requires as far as I can tell a "Class A" operators permit or CDL (Commercial Drivers License) with an "Air-brake Endorsement". Is the same true in England? Did the Lads just shoot themselves in the foot with the axle/air-brake swap?

Hello.I have created a survey for my dissertation regarding hybrid/environmentally friendly vehicles in Motorsport and it would be great to hear the opinions of all people involved in Motorsport. Should not take any longer than 5 mins and will be a great help with my project. Thankyou in advance...

I want to get my sons (9 & 7) a hat with something they'd recognize on it. They love this build and every time a new episode is out they're glued to it. They even skip the skylander or minecraft shows to watch Binky. But all of the merch has BOM on it. Is there any chance you guys could sell something t...

Nik has some good ones like Gravity difference visualisatiometer or scale as it is known to most. Here are some more. Electron actuated machine rotator = Drill Double helically cut precision cylinder = Drillbit.

I need to weld an exhaust and since my regular welder is 1780 km away, excluding the 60 hour ferry ride, I decided it was a good time to purchase another welder. Having heard the Binky partners speak well of Sip Industries I decided to check them out. Apparently things are (like Nik has suggested before i...

Hello All. About episode 4, I just had to have more of BOM, and was most fortunate to find you here!

He even looks a bit like Nik. https://youtu.be/nf670orHKcA?t=16s And of course Lion King. https://youtu.be/vifVEg7NepI?t=28s Now I only have to remember in which episode Nik has a lovely bunch of coconuts. -- Edited by andsetinn on Tuesday 4th of April 2017 12:25:42 PM

Does anyone know which model of DigiPas digital level is used to "make the noise" at BOM?

Probably old news by now but rather than sacrifice his integrity, Edd has (i think) gracefully parted company with the Wheeler Dealers show. I think i respect him even more now than i did before. I really hope to see him in other things.
