Episode 40 - A cunning plan

If I post this clickbait topic title, do you think it will tempt Episode 39 out of the ether?

It worked! (?) The dash isn't quite finished and we've yet to see the bespoke switches, so I seems likely that episode 40 will still be inside.

Episode 40:
"We upgraded the injectors from stock but upgraded the upgrades, in this episode we replace the upgraded upgrades with a new & improved modern upgrade!"
"Also, coming up, the stock ECU we upgraded with a Link upgrade and then upgraded it, will get the latest upgrade from Link!"
"Remember the turbo we upgraded? Well guess what?!? That is now old technology and we'll be plumbing in an upgrade!"

Ha ha! 🤣 You're not wrong, but that does sound like the contents of episodes 60 to 90. There is also the small matter of the IVA(?) to be navigated. I wonder if we'll ever get back to Binky's transporter? That must be liberally coated in surface rust by now...

2 escargot episodes would not bother me. I was hoping they would come back with 2 or 3 episodes.

It would not surprise me if they have made plenty progress on the Snail in the background

Ha! I'm sure it has the original VIN plate in there somewhere, but I fear that it may be deemed to have had some reasonably substantial modification work conducted on it since it was last MOT tested. I take your point though. Mostly, Binky has had some worn-out, rusty components replaced with new ones, along with a bit of fettling here and there to make the new bits fit. Incidentally, other than the glass and indicator lights (+ tyre valve caps?), can you think of any original Leyland part that would still bolt in?

Hang on Kirk! - Not many original Leyland parts would bolt on to a Mini when it was new without some degree of fettling!

Good point, well made. So just an MoT, tax? (Exempt?) and a very interesting conversation with insurers...
