Very true the oggle minis used the longer wheelbase for the same reasons

The word content makes me physically cringe

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I'm massively proud of what we've achieved this week it's a big step towards a finished body

Very much so I think it's a combination of things but it feels like we've hit our stride, I just hope we can keep it up

This week's video is blowing up 😯

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Absolutely the arches are far better executed. The defuser on the 8 drives me nuts because that's not how air works

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I'm aware I'm probably in the minority and I like the interior bits but I think the exterior is really clumsy, it looks like a student render from the 2000s

Westfield bought the rights to the GTM Libra years ago to kill it and when Westfield went bust the name was freed and I think the idea is the return of the Libra

That would be a crime but I genuinely don't think the engine weights much

000

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Sorry sub 500 fat thumbs but I found a video of that car listing the weight at 587kg so I guess all the shiny bits and details really add up

100

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I'm honestly shocked at 550kg I'd expected it to be sub 400

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Unsupercharged they make about 35bhp so a good 15 more than Jolene with double the displacement... Downright wafty

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Fantastic! It's a famous little car that, love the wings

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Thank you very much I'm glad you're enjoying the series

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I think it's safe to say there's enough radiator extraction now 🦟💨

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I've been building a car of my own design with my Dad for a while now.. we've finished the chassis, suspension, pedal box and gear linkage, now it's time for the body.

030

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

It's always tense cutting into what's essentially a finished chassis but well worth it I think

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Id very much like a pull saw. Hopefully the recent uptick in views continues and we can invest in some new kit

God no 100% keep it stock. I drove the hell out of my rocky on Pirelli Scorpions on mountain roads all over Andalusia and barely ever put it in 4 high

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

My little car has come a long way in rather a short space of time and now barely resembles it's former self

100% if you didn't know the reference it's just a nice watch but if you know you know which is the exact opposite of most automotive collaboration watches

I genuinely don't understand what's luxurious about any of if tbh and this isn't me being anti ev, luxury is what big battery EVs were born to be

The words "Steer-by-wire variable ratio" give me the ick Alan and you knew they would when you wrote them and none of this is fine

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Glad we agree on the wheel how are they even legal

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

First wheel arch officially made, I think Bentley approves.

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

100% I've also considered extending the headrest 😅

001

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I love mine and find them super comfy but if you are larger than about a 34 waste or want a ton of bolster or harness loops they might not be for you

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

The one part that did make production is the steering wheel. I really like Dome it's one of the few car brands I really want a tee shirt from

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Why yes you can see through the radiator duct from the back of the wheel arch. New video! youtu.be/Y_HAybOmUc4

The asylum seeker "issue" seems to be a big talking point every where at the moment and no people don't seems to realise that it's mostly propaganda designed to politically destabilise

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

How's this for a weird mechanical mishap. My 2cvs door catch snapped off inside the latch causing it to shoot out on the the floor of the car park like a lack luster GI Joe torpedo. Luckily I had a spare

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

It's about bloody time we had someone half decent and even if he's only half decent that's a vast improvement. Will it be enough to right decades of bigotry, bullshit and bloody awful economics... I hope so

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

They were built in the UK, chassis of course built in Denmark and some stuff from France. Proper European cooperation

Oliver Pickard @oliverpickard.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

It was as unsuccessful as it was pretty
