Inquest into workshop accident reveals the TRUE cause!

Well it’s a sad week here at Barum Engines as we investigate the cause of the workshop accident. On the plus side, it’s track day tomorrow and we are buzzing to test out the new engined kitcar

[@noelbarton7128]

The real truth about the mouse is he was waiting to see john grinding a crank but died of old age.😂

[@user-gl5kj1fm5x]

committed suicide due to the length of the wait?

[@JeffPower-dv3zl]

😂😂

[@philipthoreau3590]

Ouch!

[@fredflintstone8048]

The mouse has created quite the legacy. It might be fitting to send the carcass off to the taxidermist and then have it mounted above the lathe with a small sign: 'In memory of Sparky the mouse who died in faithful service to the maintenance of machine electrical systems.'

[@TonyRule]

Sparky... 🤣

[@ChrisJones555.]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@brianwaldo2642]

I’m Canadian and enjoy the Brit sense of humour. Please don’t stop because of a few who just don’t get it or don’t want to for that matter.

[@joncoulthard6706]

Although you guys attempted to give the now deceased mouse it's due reverance in yesterday's video's I did notice some sniggering. I thought with reflection you might today have addressed the issue with more decorum, but no. Please guys remember Mice Lives Matter, just because he didn't learn about earths and lives is no reason to mock him/her/they/there/them. Enjoy CC tomorrow. Easy on the clutch!!!

[@Flakmagnet1701]

RIP Sparky the Mouse .... should have got a wireless mouse....

[@DavidSutherland-uv3lo]

Canada here! I once tied a dead mouse ( with string ) spread eagle to the hood of my pickup truck. Got a nice picture of me in my Mackinaw coat, with my rifle, and one foot up on the front bumper. Kids love that stuff!

[@CubeCyclone]

Lee standing there talking about getting excited whilst polishing his helmet 🤣👌

[@arzemagic]

It was the mouse who packed up the cylinder head in that cardboard box

[@Ibh111142]

This business about the mouse. You’re just taking the Mickey out of us!

[@Cruiserboxer]

I think it would be great to see some of the cars completed that you build engines for. Even if the owners send you a video.

[@rodhili3946]

Strange episode. Mourning a mouse and Lee polishing his helmet. Keep up the good work 👏

[@philipthoreau3590]

We’re all about equal opportunity here. Just because Sparky was electrically challenged, that’s no reason to diminish his memory. To be fair he could actually be an unintended casualty of the Barum tidy up. No left over sandwiches in the corner for the nightshift may have forced him onto trying an insulation snagger. Looking forward to the Saturday night wake video in CC.

[@bobmizen1]

Hoping your weekend is going well at Castle Combe. Make sure you don’t have another incident with a Tesla Mouse, catching fire 🔥 whilst charging 😂. Best wishes, Bob M. South Wales

[@ataxpayer723]

Your van and track car look great. Suggestion: Build a 2 metre tall wall alongside your workshop, so you can hide all of the old timber crates and other junk behind it. This wall would be installed on top of the small brick wall that extends from your current building.

[@stephenflounders7555]

Great video as always, have a great weekend in the kit car fella`s

[@stigg333]

Rig looks great and the car should be a lot of fun, hope everything goes well for your first track day and have a good weekend.

Car looks lovely 😊

[@mercedesmaintenance.6339]

I wish I could meet you guys there. Track days are a blast. I did a motorcycle day at Sonoma Raceway in Northern California. Superbike school. The best day I've had on a Bike. Have a good time you guys. Cheers from California.

[@rorybyrne975]

Paint the trailer wheels orange . And the jockey wheel.😂

[@user-kh7vu9pf3r]

Think about painting the trailer orange and black as well to just finish it off. Just a thought!

[@grunewaj]

I’m interested in seeing you do a BDA. I have a BDA in my Europa.

[@user-gc9fe1zm9z]

Did the mouse have death in service as part of his contract

[@martinsadler707]

Looking good!

[@lesliebarham7852]

Watching from Australia, are you going to put the race up ? Be very interesting.

[@colinscutt5104]

Inquest for a Mouse Lol , that trailer needs to be orange too

[@philipthoreau3590]

Or black.

[@brianwaldo2642]

I’m thinking black would be better too.

When are tp rebuilding your van engine anyway? The new Transit seem to blow up with the wet belt systems!

Will you ever finish the new build area refurb ? Asking for a friend 😂

[@Sonny_McMacsson]

That's unlikely IMHO. They barely got a battery in the clock FFS.

There's a bit of grimding/polishing in earlier vids

[@leechamberlain5706]

If i can get up tomorrow, i will see you at Combe.

[@jagracershoestring609]

I did a Trackday at Castle Coombe in the mid nineties and blew up my Alpina engine, it dropped a valve. Very expensive to build another engine due to a lack of a new Alpina head.

[@jaredwoodward919]

Rename the lathe "Tom"

[@tonytasker489]

I can imagine what the funeral for mousey was like. "DIB DIB DIB, DOB DOB DOB, FUNERALS OVER, FLUSH HIM DOWN THE BOG". 😁 Come to think of it, you could of mounted mousey onto the front of the kit car, Jags have a jaguar bonnet mount, you could of had a mousey mount. 😂

[@mwasy2713]

RIP Sparky the mouse - enjoy your track day

[@mikehipperson]

Don't tell me! John's messy eating habits attracted the mouse!

[@philipthoreau3590]

Nah, since the refurb available food has disappeared. Sparky Mouse had to feed on insulation! Pity he missed class on the day they taught conductivity. Raised the IQ of the Barum nightshift in a flash. P. 🇳🇿

Sun's out guns out. Looking like the gym has benefited physically as well as mentally. I didn't think England got sunny days, though weather was always gloomy. Heading towards winter here and already freezing here. Been around 21C the last few days.

Thats exactly how my caravan almost burned down, mice are absolute jerks lol

[@alanblackford2962]

I think the mouse ended his own life as he was more qualified than the other workers, but being paid less.

[@RobTheSquire]

I guess the bill of the bite to eat and a short rest came as a shock.

[@user-mv6li7fi8e]

Be carefull of c.v.h camshaft , no be arings in head. Some engines had valve gear noise from new whoch disapeared after 6000 miles . Fault was eventually diagnosed as camshsaft bore ipn c9ylinder head becoming distorted, noise disappeared when bore wore and ovalised.
