    Long awaited but with extenuating circumstances, here's episode 35. For those that might be disappointed at the end, know that episode 36 is being edited now and is just a week or so away while we've already started filming episode 37. New content coming thick and fast now - by our standards. Thanks for watching!

    I've followed this build from the beginning and I've always believed that it was real and not some form of CGI. However after seeing you tighten the rear subframe with a spanner without either, hitting yourself in the face or slipping off and smashing your knuckles. I now believe that this is not real and I will have to see it in person to be convinced otherwise.
