There`s not many sites like yours Rob, who would show what garages get up to in the background, and this has to take the mystery away from people who watch and they can now see and be more understanding about what goes on, extremely helpful. These videos also show how much or how little is in the modern and older cars. I notice in the background of this video what looks to me to be an old Vauxhall Viva car or van I first learned to drive at seventeen (now 72) in one of these motors, brought back memories.

Great work Rob, so thankful I found your channel a couple of weeks ago. With all this lockdown business you’ve kept my mind busy by going back through watching your old vids by doing that it’s kept my mind busy and stopped me going back into the dark times I was in just over a year ago. Not being able to see friends and family is he’s but you’ve made it a lot easier so I thank you for that.
