living the dream: France part 2 Automotive relic hunting

[@PerrieHulett]

I lived in France for 8 years, they seem to be far more constricted by bureaucracy but at the same time much more free than us. I guess it’s what’s in your head and heart that determines your freedom. Thank god for KZbin, where people like you Brian can give real content to like minded people the whole world over. Vive la France Je regrette rien ❤️👍

[@oakswamp]

thanks dude...i know exactly what you mean..they have much more space and that definitely makes you feel free

[@daleskidmore1685]

The Brotherhood of Rust knows no borders. Men in sheds rule the World! Brilliant road trip Bryan.

[@oakswamp]

hahahah thanks Dale

[@daleskidmore1685]

@@oakswamp I sort of know what you said without the translation, Bro.

[@PerrieHulett]

Single handed, the best comment to ever grace KZbin 👏👏👏

[@rickm5806]

My take away when you guys were shooting is that we in America take a lot of simple things for granted, Like owning and shooting guns. I've owned and shot guns all my life! Yet, i'm still envious of your trip and the comraderie you guys experienced. Great content Bryan!

[@oakswamp]

boys n toys ...really enjoyed shooting not something ive really done.....was a great trip ! thanks

[@billybobholcomb8768]

Every time we find a kindred sprit we should find a way to celebrate, (even if just briefly) the things that bring us joy. Cars, bikes, old trucks, and yes some very nice guns, Cool old watches and all the other wonderful junque that warms the 30 weight in our gearhead hearts.

[@oakswamp]

well said brother !

[@davidHayward-p8f]

Beautiful.....! Faith in human nature well and truly restored.... 👋

[@oakswamp]

fantastic ....cheers

[@KRAMPUS1933]

Literally selling up and building my new house in Bordeaux a little ways north of Casper. Big workshop planned with plenty of old bikes and cars...

[@oakswamp]

fair play dude...has to be done !

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

Yep a drop of whisky solves everything - why is it that every body else's crap looks better than your own - Great fun, what a host Casper is - stay safe!

[@oakswamp]

hahahah he was the perfect host mate ....thanks

[@neilgreenfield3392]

[@oakswamp]

[@johnsheppard7935]

Thank you Bryan, Mr Hawk and Casper for sharing - looks like you had a real nice time!

[@oakswamp]

[@nicholasbell9017]

Mmm. I could taste that orange, and smell that scented air. Plus a nice whiff of old car aroma.. ! That was a fantastic video Bryan. Like the previous one I will watch it again. Thanks for showing us these people and their amazing vehicles, and to Hawkeye for his versions of songs by Sex Pistols and Cream. Nick.

[@oakswamp]

thank you...was an awesome trip mate

[@nathanwindle9816]

Ive so got Casper envie ! Whatever he has done in life he has achieved! Marvellous stuff

[@oakswamp]

worked hard mate ...fair play to him !

[@stephenpickering9831]

The huge smile on "Mr Oak Swamp's" face says it all. Yes he's "living the dream" but isn't it good that he is letting us share it with him, and it's so skillfully edited. We raced across France to get home from our holiday to watch this latest offering!

[@oakswamp]

Cheers Steve …..looks like you we’re living your dreams down there too mate 😎

[@boydsargeant7496]

A wonderful episode!👍❤️. I could feel the love all the way through. An amazing mix of great man stuff! Thanks so much Bry for sharing! I don’t know what to make comment on but I could see you loved your time! Thanks for everyone sharing their stuff and time! And Hawkeye for fantastic tunes!

[@oakswamp]

cheers bro....Beauliea tomorrow????

[@anthonygrodecki7968]

[@oakswamp]

blimey fair play ...i struggle with english hahahaha thanks mate

[@martinuso7446]

Loved the Banjo playing out in nature. Thx! Great episode! I once ate a warm orange and a citron straight from the tree in Portugal. Was orgasmic. The citron did not taste sour, it just tasted like citron. Simple life is awesome!

[@oakswamp]

thanks mate its the simple things isnt it?

[@davejobe6282]

I anticipated this video all week and it was worth the wait . The banjo music was the perfect fit to it all as well . This is really good content Bryan please do more of it .

[@oakswamp]

...I was originally gonna make it one piece but it seemed too long...really glad you enjoyed it Dave ,thanks for the kind words bro

[@andrewbroughton-tompkins5672]

I really appreciate watching you footle about with cars....but this was so funny! To see you in a foreign land with people that made sense in a foreign tongue. Great TV.

[@oakswamp]

Glad you enjoyed it! cheers

[@kenphillips5221]

guns dont kill guns people kill guns yip yip yip yip. The french have the best barn finds without doubt!.

[@robertchall8576]

We love our guns here in the U S A y'all where shooting the light weights. Thanks for taking us on the road trip cool cars and bikes I Shur like the little panel vans .😊😊😊

[@oakswamp]

[@wizardfpv1928]

Absolutely brilliant boys, thoroughly enjoyed both parts. Paul

[@oakswamp]

nice one thanks Paul

[@rangieman]

I know your taste is out there but really a 2CV does it for you😜 Each to their own just as well we all have different tastes , The world would be boring if we all liked 2CV'S 😎 Great vid mate and Casper was a true gentleman , I feel your pain with those shooting clips you and hawk eye BOTH need some tuition on how to handle and fire a Firearm you both were not holding and firing them safely sorry to say .

[@oakswamp]

bull with a musket springs to mind mate hahaha im not crazy on 2cv's but early stuff is always better, finer lines quirky ...i saw some fella used the ribbed bonnet to make the rear on a roadster looked really cool ...cheers bro

[@christianstage1501]

Nice with some proper fun for adult men !

[@oakswamp]

exactly cheers

[@stevepeake433]

OH what a fantastic video, the setting and lighting of the round table discussion was absolutely genius. Loved every minute en France.......surely here has to be more to come from time to time. Casper is a clearly a kindred spirit of Oak Swamp.

[@oakswamp]

thanks Steve...yes we are going back this year for part 3...theres still lots to see !!!

[@larrydirks285]

Wonderful video. Nice to see people living a life of their own choosing.

[@oakswamp]

thank you....

[@slickmouse]

One you had your eye on. NSU RO80 with Wankle engine

[@oakswamp]

was it ...super cool

[@adamweston4152]

It's a panhard and not a NSU ro80.

[@michaeljosling]

Sacre Bleu!

[@oakswamp]

haha merci!

[@Shane4457]

Awesome video. Those old bikes. I need more of that in my life.

[@oakswamp]

[@bonneboorsma418]

Just awesome…..

Really good thanks mate 👍

[@Meccanico208]

Ca plane pour moi!

[@oakswamp]

🤘😎🤘

[@KeeperofTheMountain]

If you ever get to America, I know people and we shoot things. We also drive what we want. I know other car guys. Maybe you should come to Detroit Michigan for the Woodward Dream Cruise. You would have a blast.

[@oakswamp]

on the distant horizon with luck I deffo want to come to the states to do some film🤞...cheers bro

[@johndumarney1630]

Epic show lads!

[@oakswamp]

cheers dude

[@Biokemist-o3k]

Super cool!! I loved the trip!! Just came in from going through a whole clip of green tips which would never be ok in England and it may not even be ok in France..lol ......Was the red car in the middle a Porsche? Really awesome collection. I'll be starting to film my build soon. It has just started to get warm enough. I loved the fresh oranges and the vineyards next door....Casper is definitely one of us...

[@oakswamp]

thanks dude ...yes Porsche, some beautiful cars there

[@rosasalas7208]

What you said was a Triumph Herald (under the cover) was actually a Lancia Fulvia coupe! WAY more interesting!

[@oakswamp]

hahaha without doubt ...everything in that shed was something....cheers

[@geoffcampbell7846]

😮!

[@oakswamp]

😎

[@bernardreeves5028]

Often when KZbinrs go off strayin from their normal stuff that drew me in I loose interest. Not this time, these last two vids have been right on the money! Keep em coming mush..

[@oakswamp]

thanks alot mate ...easier looking at them than building then hahah

[@martinjames9250]

It's a different world over there. One of the things about the UK is the space, or lack of it and of course, there are way too many people here.

[@oakswamp]

exactly that !

[@adamweston4152]

3:15I'm surprised you have never seen a panhard before, a radical design and a rarity these days.

[@oakswamp]

he was building that one ...was a blown motor from something else ....very cool car

[@dragontattooee]

Want that shed with the porsche and 2cv

[@oakswamp]

shed of dreams Bri

[@colinhead284]

Hell yeah ! first thumbs up first comment ( sad i know )

[@fartingduck5316]

second (ya gotta love a race) lol

[@oakswamp]

hahahah well done ! thanks mate ...

[@oakswamp]

prefer silver to gold to be honest !! hahahahah

[@PeckerwoodIndustries]

As an American gun owner I felt immediate stress at the first shot. Firing at that upward angle with no backstop is a no no as those rifle bullets can travel long distances and strike someone accidentally even diagonally corner to corner across twenty hectares.

[@oakswamp]

I have no idea about guns whatsoever ....Casper instructed us he shoots there alot

[@colinhead284]

Kicking the Hog over reminds me of why i have 3 dents in my right shin , a little Yam SR500 , now i'm a pussy , extend thumb and press home

[@oakswamp]

i had a 4 speed kicker used to miss and follow straight throu ...destroyed my leg ....bloody harleys hahah

[@90FF1]

Great to be free! Your visit to France reminds me of the WW1 song '"How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm..." kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5CaaomGpdhpgbs. What a trip! Thanks for taking me along.

[@oakswamp]

brilliant mate and my pleasure ...

[@frohnnielsen]

Not a fan of guns. Sorry.

[@oakswamp]

fair...was exciting for me with very little experience
