Building: Robin Hood series 3 + new project old Fury
posted on 2/10/22 at 09:59 PM
Escargot, my cousin is a heavy lorry mechanic and QC’s vehicle for MOT, he said that Escargot would be well over it’s trade plate weight limit and
that’s why I think Escargot has disappeared.
As for Binky it was completed once it was in paint, basically the project has been completed but BOM hasn’t let go yet

I breath to pi55 my ex wife off (and now my ex partner)
I thought that each of the changes they'd made to Escargot had actually made it lighter - they were weighing the old and new components during
the build? Books are pretty weighty and I can see that a full load of books, plus shelving would add up to a fair weight, so with the reduced vehicle
weight, it should have enough capacity to carry Binky.
They've done the classic. That looks like a good project...oh I'm a bit bored...that is a good distraction.....oh and why not another- lets
race this wee thing....now what was I doing? I'll be amazed if any of them finish. Binky dash malarkey - I do not believe it's taken them
this long, so clearly they have other priorities.

My cousin QC’s heavy lorry’s for mot as well as working on them and said that the axle change they had made would change the wheel load and wouldn’t
pass regulation with it loaded, I note from the latest WTF video that they have procured a 3rd axle, this could be that they have also found the
weight/axle load issue and the new axle solves the problem.
We will find out when the next Escargot episode is released.
