We Listened To Your Comments! | Workshop Update No.60

[@niklashultkrantz7766]

I think you have a good blend of car tech education and comedy. You are probably best when you dont trying to figure out what other people like and just being spontaneous.

[@bigchrisinbristol]

Get the next project car straight away and rack up 5-6 videos so you can release them weekly to get the continuity. Get the ball rolling asap and keep that format going. Don’t tell people what you’ve got though until you’re almost ready to start releasing the build series. Love the channel guys 👍

[@Cometviewer]

I watch all your videos, don’t have any interest in super cars, engine builds etc but still watch them in the hope you have a motorbike vid 😂

[@NickyLong89]

Same lol

[@SteveButcher-s6b]

Yep me too, can’t be doing with cars but love the bike bits

[@steffydog]

Same here, just enjoy the video.

[@reubenbacon9156]

Your channel will really take off when you show you/the boys fixing the cars. I realise you don’t want to show tricks of the trade but for 99% of people watching that just won’t be a thing and you have a great rep already so you won’t be losing any work to competitors. Also your analogy of the a photographer giving away their camera settings most of the big you tubers do give away their settings and their businesses don’t suffer for it so I think it’s worth it for you. Keep up the good work

[@foxtrot.tango.whisky]

Rick mate, keep it simple, in other words just do what you enjoy doing and what you find most rewarding to put out into the ether! Don't play to the analytics / ever moving goalposts of the YT algorithm. If you do what you most enjoy and what you find moat rewarding, trust me, on a planet with billions of people of predominantly English speaking backgrounds, be it their 1st; 2nd; 4th or 7th language, they still understand English and for all those who don't there's always auto-translated closed captions. If you put out videos that shows you doing the things you love doing or are passionate about, that's infectious and if you do it long enough while remaining true to that ethos an audience WILL find you, and a large audience too - it just won't be overnight, it'll take time because a lot of it will be word of mouth recommendations, the best sort of advertising & referrals money can't buy! All the best, pal & try collaborating with 44teeth on the bikes a bit & other bike channels like Bike World with the legendary Chris Northover. All the best anyway in whichever direction you decide on!

[@carrtez]

Don’t stop the tech video’s!! Fix the Noble!!! Keep giving us your views!!

[@kristian5009]

I know there are probably stats that show a 20 minute video is the sweet spot but personally it would leave me wanting, much like a massage with no happy ending.

[@GazMoby]

As always very enjoyable 👍

[@REPerformanceUK]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.

[@7747bruno1]

I actually like the format already, seeing whats in car park , workshop also your bike updates. But i might just be in the minority...keep up the good content..👍👍

[@meandthefamily1485]

Good luck guys 👍 , it doesn't matter how long it is as long as you enjoy it , for me anyway ! Maybe try not getting too long winded on one subject and keep it rolling Cheers lads , quality garage 👍.

[@matspatpc]

I was at some eventwhere a guy showed his "secrets of his trade", which was truing/building bicycle wheels. He said it was great to show to school kids, because the next few weeks, he'd get lots of messed up wheels that the students had been working on their wheels, and they were still (or more) wobbly, so needed his expert hand. Of course, fair point on the "don't teach your competitors your secret knowledge"... Also, you should definitely do the things you enjoy. Trying to make material that do well just for the sake of doing well will just lead you down a rabbit hole that most likely leads to misery - because it's impossible to tell what will work and what won't - part of that depends on WHAT other people do on KZbin, and you have zero control over that.

[@SimonGreenway-ih8lh]

As a reference watch VAG Technic they give lots of mechanical content without showing or telling you how its done but enough to keep you involved plus with the right editing you let us the viewer see what you want us to see. I do enjoy you channel and think that your numbers would increase with this type of content.

[@stephenbottomley8878]

It would be great viewing on the features and benefits of let’s say changing magnetic ride over to passive suspension on the Audi R8 or something similar let’s say a quick silver exhaust change 👍

[@clivemillington8452]

Get the Noble underway 👍👍👍

[@fraserwright9482]

Sell it, he doesn't service Nobles and it's been on a ramp eating £120/hr for over a year.

[@cgturbo975]

Half the fun is Ricky's rants and very good point that you already have the succsessful business where as most youtuber's are try to become successful. Keep up the good work guys

[@sprinterdriver4757]

I have been watching your channel for a while. It's great to see a young un applying such attention to detail. I'm an engineer by trade and spent many years on aerospace projects, milling and turning to high spec. It means that I struggle to get anything done properly ( ie to the standard I worked to for years ) whether that's a van respray or a tyre changed and balanced. Get the technical build on vid as it sets you apart from the " I build loads of engine boss" types. The cross hatch / honing video had me smiling thinking most people have no idea of what your on about. But If I was building an engine I'd be anal enough to want to know that stuff. Do it right or don't do it.

[@Daddy848Elmo]

I’ve got no particular interest in the cars you work on. But I love watching your content and still find it very interesting and well made. I’m a truck mechanic by trade and would like to see a tool box tour. Keep up the good work.

[@paulsprojects1]

people will always love to watch the supercars but i think the main reason the 300zx vid did so well is because its more relatable and obtainable for most, its something you can get into and show what your capable of without giving away the 'trade secrets' of your business, the oil pump video although technically great is only ever going to appeal to a small minority of people

[@JerryBowen-jx5hy]

Is there a college in Swindon where they do media studies/social media/video/mechanics/apprenticeship, etc, where you could link up with to see if they have any students who are also into cars? If there is, maybe a vlog at the college? Also, maybe you should look for an engine damaged Audi R8, as you have many parts, restore and repair and then sell tickets to win it, like a number of other tubers do. I have no real mechanical no how, will never be able to afford an R8, etc, but watch everyone of your vlogs for the knowledge that you and your team have, as well as all the banter! I also have a Seat Ateca Fr 2.0T DSG 4WD which I believe you quite like. Carry on the good work - if you build it, they will come!

[@Grey_Area570]

Thanks for recommending M539, his sense of humour and way of working is really great

[@chrisowens9544]

I really enjoyed the engine build tips and the tools and setups used, i like the parking lot tour, i figure if people don’t they can just skip over that part and get to what they prefer.

[@joejoey9188]

Realistic Rick! Could be a new section like question corner! Love the channel mate,I’d watch a 2min,20,40,or hour long video just keep them coming mate. I know it’s not what you’re making money from just yet but hopefully all of us lot can change that. Much love from a fellow crotch rocketer.🤟

[@tonypressley130]

When building projects is the main subject it’s easier for content but for you Rick it’s different your business is priority and projects are second. I love everything about your Chanel as you never know what you’ll get :) keep it up.

[@ashleygollop9100]

Hi Rick really good to see that you are still making videos as I look forward to them and really enjoy both technical and the rant videos It would be good to see more on the RS TT that you started

[@steinwaydoyle]

That's a great idea to bring someone young to follow you during the day to day, then have Dav and yourself edit out the stuff that is priporetery to your business. I agree you shouldn't give your trade secrets that you've worked for years building away for free. Keep up the great work. Btw I really enjoyed the techy oil pump video. Shows the type of guy you are to save your customers money and a potential seized engine

[@jimmcculloch3786]

Interesting to listen to the comments, and your not going to please all the people all the time. I really love the tech' side and the strip down of that oil pump was brilliant. Our BMW restorer friend, 'M!!!' in Germany, i have not noticed people complain about the length of his video's, and the detail he goes to is wow! Keep up the brilliant work, and love the ways you get the lads on the w'shop involved. P.s., you could set up web cams and people pay to watch a Lambo or Audio being serviced !!

[@chimpinainteasy819]

I found you through barum engines channel, them being a local company to me and the machine shop my uncles garage use. you and the team are funny, real and obviously very knowledgable which is great. the takeaway i get from your videos is audis are shite and break all the time, i couldnt work on them day in day out without setting fire to them.

[@richardselby3106]

I love the rapport between you all, more Carl, more Matt, more west country accents. Expat of 20+ years from Gloucestershire.

[@torstenhein2979]

Hi Ricky - Lots of valid comments on a good way forward. There might be channels that get more views but I think (it's obvious which other channels I'm referring to....) the idiocy and laughter at that idiocy delivers a lower quality audience than channels like yours and Salvage Rebuilds do. I think you guys get a high quality audience. I agree strongly that your content could have continuity in following one or two builds and definitely including your bike race weekend. Maybe the youngster videographer idea you guys mentioned would be the means to that end? Love your channel! Cool to know that you guys re-built a McLaren engine for someone here in South Africa!

[@stephenwooliscroft4887]

Don’t listen to me, I don’t give advice because it’s always rubbish. I like the update and car park walk around. It’s interesting to me to see all the different cars you work on. If KZbin is for fun, just do what you want. I like it. If you don’t need to scale up your business to make a living then I would think more than twice about it. You could put that energy and stress capacity into racing or whatever else brings joy…

[@melderosa656]

The length of the video should be as long as it needs to be. Also your not a Matt Armstrong or Tavarish as REP is your primary business and theirs is making content for KZbin and they chose to fix cars for this content. I think your content is great and revolves around your personality

[@fraserwright9482]

Yes, as KZbinrs are choosing (pulling) items to repair simply on entertainment value. RE is dealing with cars being brought to them (pushed) and Ricky using Mats business model of having multiple cars on the go has no effect on Mats revenue, he can record the videos and edit it to fit in sequence for the KZbin model. Ricky has a Noble on the ramp for a year costing him £120/HR and JDM cars that he can't get parts for. To do what? Attract other clients of old Nissans to RE? The Noble should be sold/auctioned off and stick to stuff floating in that he is getting paid for. I would not take my car to get fixed by Mat Armstrong if the local Audi or McLaren dealer was stumped as it would not work with Matt's business manager model either

[@simonrothwell9314]

Just putting it out there…… get Carl to do a video see how it goes 😂

[@Smoovindecat]

It’s a great channel please don’t give up… we all know you have a business to run👍 (im amazed at what you’ve achieved 👍) I’m sure it will grow exponentially and also you’ll eventually find your video groove too…. I’m aware you can’t help but compare yourself to coincidentally mates who just happen to be the world’s largest KZbin motoring channels (or whatever they are) 😂. There’s still some of us that like watching ppl who actually know what they are doing 😂 meeeeoww!

[@bristolbaron]

Nooooo! I love the car park walkarounds! And a 30 min Tuesday video! Project cars, maybe don’t release the series until it’s done? Junior videographer - the problem with this is consistency over a timescale.. anyone good will be gone too soon as they’ve found their feet and go to bigger opportunities?

[@camwoodsend2097]

If you can build an Audi V10 you can get this sorted. Love the videos.

[@chrisberesford-knox2605]

Your make some really great points about showing how your fix stuff… unlike many KZbinrs you also run a business. So I totally get why you don’t show everything

[@gruppefbc]

I'm mainly here for the technical / engineering discussions, ie all the engine building, component discussion, failure analysis and associated content, really appeals to the inner-engineer I wish I was.

[@trev_aus]

I really enjoyed watching you and Tavarish helping Mat Armstrong's with the Lamborghini. Maybe a project with all 3 of you.

[@findingneutral426]

I always enjoy series type arrangements. Especially road trips. Or build series.

[@hamradiostation_M0UGE]

I absolutely love what you do and if I could go back to my former 16 year old self, I would have gone into a career with cars, instead I ended up as a double glazing installer...LOL I do have a GTR myself and do a lot of my own maintenance and love to see how you guys do what you do, right from outside the unit, looking at whats in and what's ready to go, to the dyno and jobs you're currently working on...Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something, so value the knowledge you share, thanks. On another note: I need a hardwire kit for my fuel pumps installed on my GTR, is this something you can do ? I stumbled upon a comment made by Ricky on a GTR forum from a few years ago regarding hardwiring pumps, so thought I'd ask !

[@g_aln6658]

You spoke previously about doing a vid on oil woth Motul and the different grades etc. I think it would do well as the facebook pages im on people ask oil related questions everyday

[@stuartooo6885]

Hello, I enjoy watching your channel, its refreshing to watch someone who repairs cars competently, not back yarders hacking cars, where vieweres are being shown really bad ways of repairing cars or replacing components. Im an old panel beater from Oz. You work ethic and passion for perfection hopefully rubs off on some younger viewers.

[@martinchesney9393]

Bring your workshop team in more and take a friend racing to film also rant more good luck at cadwell

[@newagetemplar6100]

Banter and everyone’s personality is half the reason why I watch . I have no real interest in the cars you service but still watch. Technical stuff is also good and varied. Probably a few track day shoots now the weather is getting nicer ( supposedly)🙄. I still enjoyed watching the Datsun fuel tank debacle even though it’s not my thing. Even picking it up and van footage was fun . Still looking forward to the Noble build. If your looking for more subs etc I personally wouldn’t like loads of product placement crap or content with ‘ so and so has reached out to us ‘ . Probably try experimenting with titles and descriptions but not over the top . Driving 4 answers has over a million subs and still a tech based channel so he’s obviously doing something right . Maybe interesting to do a bit on testing different sensors , wiring a stand alone electric throttle pedal , setting a diff up . Definitely a day trip out on a mission or just with the lads would probably do well too . Cracking channel, best of luck . 👍

[@howardpalin67]

Love your Vlogs, they are all very subjective to each and every viewer so I guess you'll never please all but for me the mixture of what you do is very much welcomed by me. Hope all goes well at Cadwell?

[@REPerformanceUK]

Good to know! Thank you. Cadwell is this weekend.

[@Rhysie95]

The difference between your channel and most other UK car youtubers is that you're coming from a place of a successful business and then joining youtube. Most other UK car youtube channels start just with 1 car stripping it down and fixing it and then normally take it on a road trip or put it on track vs another car. But i could imagine when your running a successful business it would be hard to achieve this. Also most people who watch car youtube channels aren't to Intrested in the technical side of things they just like seeing a car taken apart then fixes up again. If you look at Matt Armstrong when he is taking something apart or putting it back together again it will be a quick clip mixed in with abit of humour and a little voice over aswell but again I can understand this is hard for you when your a business first then youtube 2nd. As someone who owns a VAG car I really enjoy watching your videos and seeing the comparisons to my BWA engine then to a v10 with the little things. I hope all you are well and carry on the amazing work

[@mikerf900]

[@jeremynash5623]

15-20mins updates and as long as you like technicals gets my vote

[@laurieharper1526]

This probably won't be helpful, but I enjoy whatever you put up. I like the variety - a mix of updates on what's in the shop, projects, rants (please don't stop doing those), some specialist stuff like engine building and the odd "now for something completely different" trip out. A very fair point that you don't want to give away too much of your hard-earned knowledge. I'd suggest 30 mins would be a good average length to aim for. 20 feels a bit short. Above all, keep the humour and banter with the team. There are plenty of serious-faced people on KZbin making purely technical videos. The fact that you mix it up and do it in an amusing way sets you apart from most.

[@raykaufman7156]

One of the things that drew me to your channel was NOT knowing what I was going to see from one to the next. I know I'm going against the grain, but DON'T BOW TO THE ALGORITHM! Your a different type of company, be different. And don't cut back on the bike stuff! It's easy to see that's your true passion.

[@chalkster4723]

Great video. Sharp & informative. Watched it end to end due to the manageable length. Some good suggestions were made. Well done guys.

[@samrodian919]

Ricky and Davla, I watch everything you put out. It all fascinates me. The professionalism you and your lads show is phenomenal , yet you still all have a laugh doing it. I completely understand ( AND so should everyone else) that you have to protect and not show your trade secrets. If you didn't then every fucker out there would be trying to undercut you. As a point, you when doing I think an R8 gearbox with Dodson upgrades would not show parts of what you were doing as it was a Dodson proprietary operation and you as their agent had to protect their own processes. It's the same with things that REP do. You can't show other professional 'Rivals' how you go about it. I was one of those who commented last weeks that I wasn't a fan of the car park walk round as from what you have said others did too. I'm glad you are at least giving it a try, you may bring it back you may not, that's your prerogative. Personally I love the technical stuff, which if I may say you are really brilliant at doing. And also the project motors, and yes sourcing parts, especially since Covid can be a pain in the arse even after this time. So for one am cool about how long I takes for you to produce a video on that particular project. Please don't get a cheaper version of Davla lol you and he spark together well and motoring wise he's a knowledgable guy having been on the scene a good while. 20 min vid? Well don't cut stuff short just to shoehorn stuff into the 20 minutes. It's ok if it strays three or four minutes over that's fine with me. Keep them coming, and KZbin bloodywell pay them decent money! You pay others for absolute shite videos, so pay REP for decent ones.

[@Chilled_Mackers]

I think keeping the business / workshop short time (20-30min) videos on this, the main channel, is good for the business. Having a seperate channel "Ricky's Reperformance Rants and Rebuilds" channel for the long form / project videos could be an idea. Less editing on the long form videos, maybe even raw (woof) footage. Not saying you should duplicate, but maybe get inspiration from RetroPerformance. Weekly 30-40minute shop update / walk through, while individual projects get footage collected over time, until enough is achieved for a dedicated project update video. Have a gander, they do some great projects. Granted, it is projects based, not servicing based, so it isn't exactly a snug glove template for all of your work - but for projects - they have it nailed. Keep up the good work, love the attitude, the banter and intelligent insight. If only Swindon was 200 miles East, South East of where it is, honestly, I think they put it in the wrong place centurys ago, just so I couldn't come a do the videography. 🤣

[@matthewwiddows6319]

show more technical stuff, love watching matt armstrong pull apart a rolls like its a family run about. edit: just got to the part in vid about showing competitors your work, part of your business is keeping the mystic about these cars. where as MA doesnt have to worry about this.

[@FuGall479]

Ive noticed you have been a bit grumpy the last few weeks and I think Ive figured it out, It coincides with your last race weekend so you've been coming down from adrenaline overload ,Keep it up look forward to all your vids especially your race bike adventures

[@REPerformanceUK]

Cadwell this weekend, prepare for another week of grumpiness after then 😂😂🤪🤪.

[@chrisbs2388]

I love all your videos, I think the KZbin algorithm want you to focus a lot more on your video titles as I think you are missing a trick. Using questions in your titles will really help. Rather than the why warranties are USELESS, “are supercar warranties worth it? We don’t think so!” Etc. you’ve got the thumbnails down. Love the content and honesty 👍🏻

[@Walkerkuka]

Stick to the technical stuff. Loved the oil pump rebuild even though I will never afford a Lamborghini 😂

[@jonottaway6849]

Love the channel and random chat! 👍🏻 as a bike guy i found your channel via Guy Martin talking with you about stuff we’d never hear, from both of you in the engine room! I’d love more engine room chats with Sylvain (when he next comes for a service) on “insider” racing stuff, experiences, knowledge etc plus any of his rider friends round for a tea and chat (Hodgy, Redding, Fagan?etc etc). You also seem keen to do more 720 work….could you do an engine build on Mat Armstrongs McLaren as a project /showcase? I’m sure his involvement would increase potential McLaren customers / youtube numbers….what do I know!? 😂 keep doing what you’re doing! 👍🏻

[@jonottaway6849]

…sorry, one more. One of your crazy power cars (R8) on Carwow, for a bit of publicity/ KZbin follows!?

[@mrbeale81]

HI Ricky, never commented before, you've a clear passion for your craft, this is clear, sometimes the videos are a big rough but this shows the authenticity, dont forget that. The video which bought me here was the V10 R8 & Gallardo gen1 engines. Bad - The parking lot thing is not a winner for me, Dyno meh... its interesting 1 time but again dont give away how you master your craft and tuning tips. Good - Techincal information is great. Hearing about differences between differnt models eg R8 & Gallardo. 6:31 - Apparently 15-25 minutes is thought to be the optimal length for most youtube videos, it better gets into KZbin algorithams, people have short attention... spans, it's worth speaking with Matt Armstron & on how he fumbled his way through growing his channel whilst not impacting your passion which is the business. 8:50 - In my opinion don't be showing people how to repair stuff dont give away your secrets, the "what went wrong" videos are good, but how to service a car? Nah! 11:50 - In my opinion, keep doing what you're doing, grow progressively , you shouldnt let KZbin overtake the core purpose of RE performance. Margins are tight and Dav isnt free. 14:57 - Avoid sponsors in my opinion, if and when you can afford to take Dav more, then do that. 21:50 - Please dont take the teenager... i think you will loose more than you gain, they wont have the expirience, you'll have to put a lot of time into directing them & think they think they're right all the time! 😒

I like the update vids and project cars., I quite enjoy the business and behind the scene rants, think this is really valuable and not often seen on youtube. but maybe I have a longer attention span than most? Listening to your feedback I wonder if the driftworks style might be a sweet spot/good start? They are very open that they are also a business first but I think the difference is people relate/more invested in the characters and the cars.

Hi Kate love the channel there’s a secondhand car dealer down at near Brean sand’s Shifting Metal 52k subscribers he has just sponsored a Porsche driver, might be worth looking at how he runs his just a thought Maybe a video on the brains of the family ie you Just keep him working

I like the format you have now,mybe i have more time on my hands but think what you guys do is spot on.i want longer stuff!!. :) keep up the great work and content

[@72neillyboy]

Agree with the shorter update vids. A bit longer defo acceptable for tech vids. Perhaps add a “realism corner” segment with Karl. Another quite famous Ricky has a Karl with a unique outlook on life. “An idiot in Swindon” is perhaps a touch cruel though 🤔🙈😂😂

[@DH-bw2rx]

Interesting video. The fact your other video on whether or not you should quit KZbin did so well says people are interested and don’t want you to quit. Personally I like your longer videos and more on the technical side, but a 20 minute run time is probably easier to do. I think the more successful car guys on KZbin have one thing in common, they have a good sense of humor, and good character. You’ve got both of those and are interesting to watch and listen to. Big plus in my book. Plenty of guys out there are dull or have a crap personality. Hard pass on them. Personally the Lamborghini stuff is my main interest, but I watch it all because it’s fun to watch. Keep up the good work. (Got that shipping quote for the hoodie yet?) 😎

[@itsmeagain1745]

Member subscriptions seem to be a great idea. You could also have a 'members day out'.

[@dextrodemon]

i think they do usually put up the settings of their cameras in the like photography world.

[@mfordy1056]

The variety is good, and personally I enjoy the more technical videos such as the oil pump rebuild. Clearly thats not popular though. More case studies would be good, less walking around talking about waiting for parts. I like the reviews on the good and bad of the various cars you work on, such as poor design/manufacture that will cost in the long run. Shorter rather than longer would be good, max 25 minutes. I like the letters and queries. Perhaps you will never break even on the KZbin costs though and it’s just a case of your general advertising costs to cover it.

[@adamknight9535]

Good Vlog again, keep them coming. I would like to see Dyno days for customers and subscribers, it will earn money on top of the Vlog and you can make more content from it and will also bring more people to the channel.

[@Uber-GT]

Watch M539 restorations and look how that channel has exploded. He’s funny and you get a tonne of stuff every episode and they are weeks apart.

[@Frank.Serpico]

Protecting you're IP and methods of operation are important not to give away I agree. A lot of what YOU know though is learnt over (served) time and can't simply be picked up from a short video or two, perhaps certain methods need to be guarded of course, especially stuff regarding NDAs but I think a large proportion do watch to learn and take inspiration from your expertise, which not many builders have your level of skill and attention to detail. Having said that, my preference is the expert building stuff, when you do actually reveal certain methods of precision that your average garage wouldn't even be aware of, just seeing things taken apart generally and rebuilt for me is fascinating...

I Like the longer videos! Do what you enjoy…

[@REPerformanceUK]

Good to know! Thank you

[@tommy46055]

Spend some time on your bike as well Ricky!

[@Mgd2335]

Bring some positivity to the channel, you look at Matt Armstrongs channel and he is full of positive energy! I switch off when you are ranting. If you look at some of the podcasts Matt has appeared on, he struggles with it and has to work on it. Hopefully my comment is not taken as negative towards you, just trying to give some feedback :)

[@neiltitmus9744]

You need to remind people to like your videos near the beging of the video people forget i did i just went back and liked the ones i missed

[@springlakeswatersports149]

I watch the channel for what it is.. please don’t dwell on numbers, those who watch know what you are and do. Keep mixing it up and take the wins as wins and low number vids as you keeping the die hard fans interested.. the oil pump build vid was ace but I can see whey anyone now mechanically interested would be bored.. take the camera out on the bike adventures would be interesting to see that side as we hear a lot but never see it…

[@andrewpearce9903]

Love it keep it going

[@REPerformanceUK]

Thank you

[@sammcnally7640]

We watch your fantastic show on Apple TV, ( family event), SO to comment or like I have to look up at the end on iPad and do it there, so start watching again but never complete watching.

[@REPerformanceUK]

Thank you for watching

[@dirtygrill]

Probably in the minority but I like the update walkaround. Probably more relevant to me as an R8 owner, but seeing what cars are having what done is interesting to me.

[@mazer1971]

What you need Ricky is more Dale in your vids 🎉🎉🎉

[@colinscutt5104]

No , More Karl in his ET hoodie

[@tonyf4303]

How about different titles for Tuesday / Friday . Something like: Workshop week ( with a title) on Tuesday And Tech talk (with a title) On A Friday. You can probably come up with better namesI Enjoy both but it's not always easy to differentiate between the 2 different types of 'show' from current titles.

[@REPerformanceUK]

Workshop updates are Tuesdays….so the title them workshop update 64 etc. Fridays are just titled whatever they are

[@LucasAVP]

Forget all the negative shit, I like the technical items with all the ‘strange’ humor. And I prefer more depth in the technical engine/car. And if it is interesting and with a laugh, the lenght is not primary

[@zzkamikazezz]

Shorter vids are a good idea, I normally only get 20 mins to myself at most!

[@davidstocking1622]

Soooooooooooooowwww! You're not quitting KZbin? Thank ##ck for that😂 I didn't swear either. Do what you enjoy doing. Good shout getting a youngun to do the socials. 25minutes passed bloody quick😂

[@cjgates11]

@Dav, You need an intern to put in Ricky's workshop. Someone who can do stuff every day, under your guidance. Then everyone's ideas can be worked out. I'm not in for shorter videos my self, love the banter. some people don't have an attention span.

[@timmymallett1]

Binky. But faster. As said, skip the carpark. I get having project cars is a common way of monetising mechanic downtime waiting on parts, just takes a while to get them done. Dodson unboxing ALL DAY LONG Prodetail is interesting stuff -I would understand though about telling people how to do stuff rather than bringing to a detailer is counter productive I went to Brewers down the road at the weekend and drove down and you wouldn't know you were there, is that deliberate? Only if I wanted a PADI diving course :) If you look at 44Teeth - the bits i salivate over are JHS racing ones. I love that sort of day to day stuff and James.

[@tonyking9235]

NO I LIKE YOUR TALKING THATS ONE OF THE RESON I COME .

[@REPerformanceUK]

Glad you’re enjoying them.
