Nice to see you back! yes, don't pressurise yourself into making content for the sake of it- do it for the right reasons. I used to upload weekly at one time, these days it's more like every three months.. as and when the inspiration is there. As for the Jag, what a car, but if you're not feeling it then let it go- there are still enough of those around that you'd find another if you felt the need. The MG on the other hand, an evergreen classic. I've been in a similar quandary with one of my vehicles- it's a bastard to work on, it needs lots spending, time and effort but after a couple of years umming and ahhing it's a keeper, too many adventures past and too many more to be had. Others I've let go with ease no matter how much I thought I liked them- it's all about the memories and I'd say that MG is way more that than the Jag! Keep burning the petrol..

Mk1s production ran from Oct 65 ( around 10 servive), although a pre production car from around june of that year has been found, finishing in - late 67 ( a couple were registered in early 68 & around 500 mk1 cars only, survive in the UK today!

Good to see the MG back on the road:-) I was playing a ship's captain at Revival this year so much less involved with the drivers :-( Looking forward to your take on it with all that wonderful rain!

Great to see you back Mark and we all agree with you that a hobby should be fun. Don’t feel pressurised, family first and blog second. But what you do produce is fantastic and I for one love your videos. What is the white circular clock looking item next to the choke? 👏👍🏼

Use a piece of paper tissue to find the exhaust leak.....old trick but it works!

Trip to Italy? or is that just my dream drive in my GT

Good to see you are doing OK buddy and passed your bike test. A) Family time comes first. B) Film stuff when you want to, like you said, it's a hobby. C) Me and the rest of your subscribers, looking the comments below mine, are not waiting with baited breath for an upload! It's nice when we get them. D) And most importantly, WTF you even thinking about selling the Jag!!!! E) Read D again! F) Looking forward to seeing what CC Motorbike you opt for. G) Did I mention D? All the best buddy

Always enjoy your channel! Great overtake on the Fabia!

Brilliant to have you back Mark. As so many others have said, the quality of your productions is off the scale. The videography coupled with your skill in the edit make for exceptionally fine films. Obviously, you'll appreciate that I'd like more x100 content, but I always enjoy all of your videos. I personally think you'd regret selling the Jag in the long term, but you must do whatever's right for you and your family. If you do decide to sell though, let me know...(Also, I'd be more than happy to help you out with the thorny problem of all excess of tickets to Goodwood 😉). Whatever you decide, here's to continuing content and hope to see you at a Jag event in the not too distant future.

Great to see you back Mark. I bought a 67 MGB GT a few months ago , and have been very busy catching up (ok, binge watching). There's a wiring harness, dash board, and new mild steel exhaust sitting in my garage. I finally have time, so maybe in a couple of weeks I will be out enjoying mine, also.

American hot rodders use a product we lovingly refer to as "Shine Juice" that is a mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits that sticks to paint and rust and works as a rust inhibitor. It's not a product for show cars (unless you are showing Rat Rods) but it stop rust for some time because it soaks into it. You might try coating in an obcure area and see if it's something you could live with until you are ready to respray. Just a thought. Still love the channel!

Beautiful home! It looks like a huge property! Looks like a great garage to restore a Lotus in... ;-)

Awesome video and update, great content is worth the wait and it was a very nice surprise to see it pop up in the feed! Glad all is well and you've been enjoying the car! 👍

Great to see you back, Mark! And the MG - best colour option. It looks to me like the middle section of your exhaust needs some support back to the chassis, as you have a middle section with two joints unsupported that will put the joints under strain? Just a thought. Ref quantity of videos, you’re exactly right in getting the balance right and is nothing to be ashamed of. When your videos come out is up to you - and they’re great btw!

Great to see another video from you. Appreciate your honesty in explaining why the videos aren’t coming out too often, but I’d say not to stress about it, produce them when you can and for one will always enjoy them! Thank you for producing some interesting content.

Great video! What products do you use when washing your car? Thanks!

So envious of that leaf that hitched a ride 😂 Great to see you back with the B x

So nice to see you back and with updates and showing off your B 😊 Pleased you put the effort in to explain your situation regards family life and work etc. You’re doing the right thing. . . Another quality video as always. Take care x

Great update, you gotta keep the Jag, it’s a stunning car, even if it’s off the road for a few years it makes a beautiful garden ornament! 😄

Totally understand the way life being in the way. Love what you do and your MGB GT is lovely, what a great burble from that exhaust. Your road trips have inspired me to have a go at something similar myself over the autumn, though it'll be a day trip in Wales rather than an over nighter.

Great to see you out and about in your MG again and hope you can find the balance you need in life to continue. All the best Bob

I've been wating for this!

Glad you are back . Love your content ❤

Nice to see you and the car back...

Nice to see you back Mark. Thanks for the new video with your nice looking MGB GT. I recognize the situation you describe. The hobby of classic cars need to be in sync with the reality around; job, family, house and other things. When working under time pressure with your hobby, some of the passion, the fun, disappears. I think you have the right attitude to the videos, producing them in times when it's fun without feeling stressed about it. We viewers are waiting here, and are grateful when you have something new to share about your classics, but take it at your own pace 👍

My 2005 XK8 has an ABS issue as well , not looking forward to the service and MOT but is my baby and I love it Keep doing what suits you not a load of people that either don’t care or don’t have the time or money to do what you do I Subed after your last trip in the Jag , if it’s gone I will still watch what you do , probably skip the bike vids but hey you can’t suit everyone

What's the saying ''Quality, not quantity'' I must admit that some car orientated channels seem to put out too much content and a lot of it is repetitive - 5 things I hate about my car, I bought a cheap car and it's broken etc. but your are always refreshingly straightforward and honest Mark

Great video! Lovely to hear the exhaust note on it! One more job on the MG, straighten the steering wheel or is it just the camera angle? 🙂

Nice to see you back man. Almost looks like the exhaust is missing a hanger? Noticed some bare (rusty) metal on the floor pan too lol

Welcome back Mark. Really happy to have an update on your projects. You absolutely should produce videos when it suits you, and I hope that means that you continue to produce content long into the future. Looking forward to seeing the Lotus back on the road in the fulness of time.

Although I appreciate your comments regarding the production of videos I absolutely enjoy what you produce. The videos of your trip were outstanding both in quality and content. Your productions are very skilfully put together and I, for one, have missed your regular uploads. Please do not stop, if I have to wait for another Month or two then so be it but I look forward to the next update. Lotus?

Love this. Really appreciate great car.

I wish I’d noticed that leaf 🍂 before filming! 🙈

Nice - what does the exhaust consist of? Is it cat back?

3:15 Once you remove the centre console, you show the dashboard lifting out. I am struggling with this. The dashboard is bolted to a steel cross member that runs the width of the car, but in my case, two of the nuts in the cetre span of the dashboard (above where the radio would be) are inaccessible and the nuts are tight up against the steel member so that you can't get a socket over it. How did you deal with that?

Why did I buy one? Cuz they're awesome! 😂

is this a good bike to make delivery?

Very enjoyable, I'm older than you and riding on L plates and intend taking my test next spring, we seem to be a similar standard watching your video and I also intend on getting an Enfield or triumph and going camping, just subscribed and wish you well

I've owned over 50 British and German sports cars. I owned three MGB/GTs and they were my favorite. Here in the Midwest, you can drive a GT earlier in the season and later in the season. I've even driven one in the winter - but in very limited conditions.

What an excellent series of Videos. Beautiful photography and video and superbly put together. Really well done. I'm amazed there hasn't been more views.

I’m looking for a wind deflector as well, liking the look of yours, do you have a link please for that and the exhaust wrap? 🙏

There cheap for a reason I had four of these over ten years and the older they get the worse they get,rust everywhere, gearboxes, constant limp home problems do yourself a favour buy the newer shape it's a far supplier car on every level

Hey, whats going on, no new videos ?

A great series ! Thanks

Is adding an overdrive unit to an original non overdrive GT possible ?

I've been watching your videos since I bought a 1967 MGB GT, a few weeks ago.. Apparently, it is what was called a special over here. They threw some stuff at it like spoke wheels, a Les Leston wheel, and whitewall tyres (because America) Mine has been equipped with a Weber 45 DCOE carb. I noticed you run one of those. I've been told it's a racing carb and hard to live with on a driver car. What are your thoughts? Your car seems to like it just fine... I'm very impressed with the quality of your videos, thanks for doing this thing...

I hope my new Bluroc Tracker bike i just bought will do better. If the same thing happens i will get to the bicycle path. Fingers crossed. They say the chinese bikes are getting better but how long do they say this?

Great stuff….I’m contemplating a 3,000 mile trip across the US in my 1971 GT (following the Lincoln Highway )

Hello, I've been watching your video with great interest. What drone model did you use and how did you fly it while driving the car? Thanks.
