    I would totally watch a 30 minute video about the story of the engine that took 2 months to go 650kms. Storytime with Benny sounds good.

      Same here, the Stagea, Moogs 240 build and also Moogs Vtech Mini with Miles are 3 of the finest series on TH-cam, the cross channel colabs were great a few years back. Then we have the whole Cresta story, my favourite car on TH-cam, close 2nd Too Sexy :oops

    Benny, if you make good on the US Drag Week for '22 and see a hand made sign that says "BCW Pit Stop" pull in- there might well be a case of lemon squash in it for the team! The only car I didn't hear mentioned is the "flat white Capuccino"- I thought you had something doing on that, but.... You're doing great- if you need to do some shorts, singly or a couple together, I'll be there! FR

And considering how hot for street racing North Texas, Okla., and the region are, I can hope! We have lots of sanctioned tracks and lots of local motorheads.

    I don't really have any questions but I just want to say "Thank You" for all the stuff you do on the channel. You do a great job on all your projects and passing on information that a lot of other channels lack. We enjoy all the projects you do regardless of what they are and I know some of the comments can get negative or bring you down sometimes, so I just wanted to say thanks. Keep doing all the great work you do and I am looking forward to seeing you hit 1mill subscribers sooner than you expect.

    Props to you mate smashing through this past year, been rough for everyone man. being out of work for a few months you were my go to channel among the other aussie channels to keep me going, also giving me more insight into barra engines helping me out with my turbo project. I'm in love with the Century man, its just something mad about Toyota shoving those massive engines in cars like those. thats why I like my 30 yr old Soarer so much, top spec, touch screen sat nav, tv with a meaty 1uz v8 manual converted, just so much fun, even though most people just see them as a v8 donor car.
