[@susandibble3525]

Aww well done Craig !!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩

[@kingingit]

🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@SunscreenDreams]

Hey guys great job on the build so far. 😀 Did you get the C1 cheaper because of the last minute calculation as looking on their website the training and test is over £1100? The reason we ask is that we are looking at up rating our Mercedes Sprinter but will need to take the C1 to drive it once done. Enjoying following along with your journey look forward to the next video.

[@penelope5534]

Love the safety glasses over your glasses look. I just had wood dust fly up under the safety glasses and get in my eye yesterday. I think a scuba mask may be the only way...with the snorkel, of course.

[@kingingit]

Haha that’s my kinda look 😎 might be a gap in the market for that you know.. 😜

[@AinebeautyBlogspot]

So excited to see it finished!!! Well done passing the driving test, bit hairy!

[@BrettFosterUK]

@@kingingit I wish I could afford it! I'm in the "just dreaming" phase of vanlife at the moment....

[@FreedomStrider]

"Now that that stress was over..." ** Cuts to cutting holes in the top of the bus** 😜

[@kingingit]

😂😂

[@benadoztv]

Am a quick question do you actually need another driving license to ride the van? I just don't seem to understand

[@kingingit]

Well not just any van - because this one is 7.5tonnes it requires a new license to be able to drive it.. 😊

[@benadoztv]

Thanks

[@vintagemoss9578]

I love your videos. But I really really love CUSTARD the tart!.😂

[@kingingit]

🥳🥳🥳

[@martinengelbrecht5384]

People who take six months are wasting their time, you guys are productive.

[@chelseyk1252]

I just know that I'm going to sing the custard song at random times from now on 😂😂

[@TwoGetOutside]

Woahhh it’s so expensive for the lessons just to get the license! Soooo happy that he passed though! Got scared for a second when he said he failed haha

[@kingingit]

He ALWAYS does this! 😂 I should have known better haha

[@AimeeGertsch]

Super cool... but, no bathroom?

[@brynmordey2659]

Go u 2 legends!

[@jonsmith8582]

Did you insulate the roof ?

[@kingingit]

Yes 😊 everything has insulation running through it 👍

Haha “Cheb end”

[@kingingit]

HAHAHaha I still don't know what one of them is..

[@slavikqwerty]

вы молодцы!

[@MuhammadIamhardBrucelee]

How much does this whole fixer upper thing cost at the end? Ever seen the movie “Money Pit” with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long? This bus renovation reminds me of that LOL I hope the economics of it was worth it.

[@kingingit]

Unsure yet Sam! We’re yet to total up all of the costs! 🙈 scared to look to be honest!

[@applefalltree]

*Because custard is a big fat tart! LEGENDS! 😂

[@happycamperinc.]

Give the tour of that scania truck please. Request From india Please Guys

Not a problem sir! I don’t think you know us well enough.. we’re not actually just on KZbin to convert a bus and give tips - we run a travel channel and there’s a bit more talking in every vid. Good luck with life though 😊👍
