Great office set up there. The handmade sign for desk is perfect. Making the office very homely, you will not wanna go home to ur partners lol. Will you be adding a bar and snooker table next? Next room proper man cave after a hard days work to relax in 🤣 Enjoy your success you deserve it, the honesty on the channel to is a breath of fresh air 👍🏻

[@Tyronnster]

Love hearing Chris talk about his dad. It is nice to hear him talk in high regard about models etc

[@ramalama9650]

You two deserve all the praise you receive, it's totally deserved. Not just for this video, for all of them. 75% of car people are quick flip bodgers. I would imagine this makes your work so much harder because you need to prove that not all are the same. I would never hesitate to buy a car from you two. Two great guys, showing us behind the scenes. It really is a pleasure to watch!

[@smiffy5467]

You don’t need to buy salvage, just send Rob to drive them home…. 😂 The office looks great, man of many talents is Chris 👍

[@dubdelboy]

Hard to believe they wrote that off for so little damage

[@deenunya7735]

Rob wouldn't you be going UP to Chester? 🤭 Isn't there anything Chris can't do?lol Sweet Job on the Office

[@johnjoseph3382]

Hit a badger that ran out on an unlit section of the M11 a few years back. It did so much damage the insurance company wrote my Car off. Front bumper and fog light smashed, radiator split, oil cooler split and inter cooler ripped off. It was warning lights galore and the noise it made scared the life out of me. Rob had a lucky escape those Badgers are built like tanks.

[@nickmaguire4914]

Like Wombats

[@andynightingale7335]

THAT OFFICE!! Absolutely brilliant.. Well done Chris, fantastic craftsmanship.

[@tarlocksagoo7190]

I wish you guys would go back to Monday, Wednesday and Friday videos.

[@TRD1949uk]

Ultra is to do with the engine not the spec level. The car is an A6 s line black edition. The engine is a 2.0 TDI Ultra. For the fact it’s meant to be the best combination of efficiency and performance

[@1004gerry]

Shame you couldn’t bring the badger back - I’m sure Chris could have brought it back to life

[@K0ALA.]

Ahh one of those 3hour 59minute journeys 😂

[@stephenricketts7764]

Looks like a nice car, I think you did well. That strip price is spiteful so that may be one of the reasons for writing it off? Chris was up for the challenge and without a doubt he has passed with flying colours! I hope he can fix the pillar without touching the windscreen, I have faith in him. I would also like to say well done for making the 'SRUK' sign it looks great and so does the desk with those handles. I think the car will be finished in no time, the only hold up might be paint but that cannot be helped. Thanks Rob and Chris I really enjoyed this video.👍👍

[@stevepettifer4896]

500 quid extra for black gloss paint on a trim??? Holy crap, that is spiteful. Amazing job on that wing Chris, someone is going to be a really, really happy owner of that car. Wish it could be me!! That office is fantastic, yet another stunning job from Chris.

[@paulriggers1558]

"estimate for your 3 dents in your audi sir, that's a write off then" the world is going mad.... that sign is perfection, it fits in so well keep up the good work chaps

[@davidwilson2155]

Cracking motor, i had one for a Taxi for 3yrs on a 10 plate, drove great but just a bit expensive to service & parts! love the new office & canteen, looks fab!😀, Is there anything that Chris carnt turn his hand too? Your so lucky to have him as your work partner!👍.

[@martindaredare]

What a nice car ,I appreciate you showing bits that you put on Instagram as you say not all of us do Instagram so thanks for that . Excellent work on the front wing ,that's saved a good bit of cash .all the best Martin

[@nealterry5]

The new office looks amazing. Keep going from strength to strength.

[@craigmeikle7634]

Rob, you need to give Chris more of a challenge, there is nothing he can’t put right, also the new office is looking awesome

[@garygray4640]

New office and kitchen looking really smart .SRUK sign looks superb.Onto the Audio A6 nice looking car .👍🏻

[@JohnSmith-ws1dp]

Rob is forever damaging cars whilst picking them up 😂

[@johnshaw8481]

🤣🤣

[@andybonney2582]

Chris sees the car and says be a nice easy repair this. Rob thinks hold my beer, watch this! 😂

[@WhataTry]

That comment gets a smiley ?????? 👎

[@andrewgilbride7546]

And walls

[@markfoden765]

@@dannytipple1232 lol I'm glad you explained that because I'm watching now and wondering was that damage already there or from the badger🤷‍♂️🤣

[@hermandippenaar1351]

Office looks super. Love the desk and walls. Well done Chris....!!!

[@jameswild3800]

That office looks tremendous lads

[@kierenmooney8686]

Working a lot recently but getting time to catch up on videos nice to see the office an kitchen coming along

[@andyspencer1010]

Gorgeous A6 s line love the A4 as well but that office is awesome 👌👌👌

[@carljohnson6684]

I feel sick seeing my baby. It’s in good hands and you are the boys to get it back immaculate. 😢😢

[@sruk]

Cheers Carl and lovely to meet you 👌👍

[@Richard-mp5bw]

like the sign like how everything comes together. nice A6

[@vegasphil]

Beautiful. Big A6 fan and people absolutely rave about them. Will be interested to see how much you put this up for at the end. Doesn’t look a lot but can see why the insurance wrote it off!

[@colinfort8725]

Desk looks banging Chris !

[@jaygsi]

Well done Chris amazing job on that office desk.

[@phildavies1192]

And btw, it's UP to Chester 🤣

[@bigfrontier2980]

Bad run of luck for you Rob, first the BMW and the garden wall, now the Audi and the badger. Chris is going to stop letting you pick up the cars soon 🤣

[@drdavidjlewis]

Car is in far better shape than the badger, but the prices on spares are shocking. The work Chris and Dan have done on the office is fantastic, I'm now going out looking for pallets and old kichen units!

[@stevemulroy1417]

I can’t believe that was written off… the mind boggles

[@warrenclay2839]

Well done Rob. loving the Audi’s can’t wait for the Q5 update. Awesome job on the desk Chris,msn of very many talents👍

[@dannyoutdoors5322]

Love what you have done with the pallet work... Please say your going to put an old car radiator in place that would be an amazing radiator with style..

[@toddlerj102]

Wouldn't surprise me if it were themed as such, good call.

[@paulketchupwitheverything767]

Office looks really good. Badger has probably cancelled his subscription.

[@NathanHiley]

Lovely car rob and Chris gotta love a Audi Avant in white 😍

[@a11csc]

very nice car and that office desk is just awesome

[@stehaughton5074]

Wicked motor Rob & your gaff is lookin mint, Top work Chris 👍👍

[@stevenparsons7422]

Get a chrome trim and wrap it in black

[@johnbratley6926]

It's UP to Chester not DOWN.😀

[@hoggmotorsport]

"parts cost more than the national debt" 🤣🤣 but you weren't wrong about the trim price 😮 office is looking awesome 👌 thanks for showing the update.. as I don't have insta either!! Spot on guys 👍

[@chrispop99]

I'm surprised the owner didn't get it repaired himself. He could have continued to use it until he had enough money.

[@Simonpaulgreenwood]

Office area looking great.

[@kase1983]

Great episode gents ! made a few lightbox's over the years, loving yours.

[@graemeguthrie2054]

Lovely Audi you picked up there, I know it will be another great result for you both. As for the building project there is no stopping you Chris, you are one very talented man. Looks fantastic.

[@MalcDavison]

Office/canteen/kitchen looks mint lads......Credit to ya.

[@alanchurchill7305]

Can't believe they wrote that off ,but all to your benefit guys,Chris is superb at what he does,no challenge to daunting,great video rob,glad you got back safely.

[@ianratcliffe2299]

Great video, the A6 looks nice even with the damage, the new office looks brilliant and as for the SRUK sign Chris has done a great job he is so talented.

[@SportFury1966]

The letter S never looks quite right. On US stop signs, the ratio and kerning of the S is so bad, they set my teeth on edge.

[@jbillingham68]

wow, another cracking car you have got there and that desk is on another level. Chris is certainly a master at what he turns his hand too that office is coming along nicelyv and can't wait to hear the numbers on that car once it's all done as I'm sure you guys will make a tidy profit out of it keep them coming guys can't wait to see more on the channel 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯

[@mrniceb8727]

Fairplay 2 Chris cracking job on the office

[@stephenpierce2885]

I have an a6 ultra estate in the same colour. This model is the 190 bhp model £30 Road tax. If the timing belt and water pump has not been done Do it. A good selling point. And straight forward to do. I don’t understand why the car has been written off for that damage

[@stephenpierce2885]

I have never wanted a black edition Audi always preferred the S line. Just been outside to check the roof trim on my car. Chrome! How can Audi charge £500 for a bit of black paint

[@christopherjhall]

Chris is such a talented chap. The new decos are unbelievable. Well done both

[@kevinisaac9139]

Chris is a genius that car is beautiful and the office is coming on love the sign 👍

[@Gaz69erwilson]

Always a story to tell when Rob collects a car 😂👍🏻

[@jeremymccourt2030]

Hi Guys,Buy ther chrome window trim and then black vinya wrap it. Easily done and looks 100% authentic

[@neilgorin1037]

Dented wing and door writes off a 15k car? No wonder premiums keep going up.

[@leonardclarke394]

great job of the office the logo sruk would look fantastic with overhead illumination keep up the good work

[@centralian1]

Nice new office, even the ghost face in the wood is saying wow! lol

[@kevinfisher7142]

Wow lovely car, and the office is ace guys, well done yet again.

[@vanlifenomad]

Chris your SRUK office build is epic top job mucker

[@cmac5110]

Chris should make some seats for the office out of some old car seats weldered to some frames, well done lads

[@benbenson8226]

Badgers can do a lot of damage. I hit one some year's ago and it nearly wrotte the front end off. Nice job Chris on the SRUK desk.

[@rubbersteve123]

Magic car! Really great to repair. Looking forward to the numbers. The new office and that sign, fantastic!

[@dholland174]

That desk and sign wow they look great

[@t6y78]

Office looking absolutely lovely. Written off seems a shame but it’s the price of the parts these days. A lovely car though.

[@trev8591]

Beautiful work on the office, loving the LED sign! Kudos to Chris for straightening that wing out, ally is a terrible material to work with on repairs.

[@loby24]

Nice car and Nice work on the office and kitchen and grate job on the desk Chris

[@MartinT]

Rob you should have stayed the night in Chester mate!

[@kerbsiderecycling2694]

Iam pretty sure chris will make it look brand new again top video guys 👍

[@herme99]

Lovely job on that office

[@Derrmo]

I don't understand why the guy didn't just get that fixed up if he loved it so much. Beautiful car to have and drive.

[@kevoc3268]

I asked the same above,he said he is too busy with work 👍

[@ianchew1731]

'Down' to Chester? :P

[@Rivaboyz1987]

Iv got the a7 3.0 tdi black edition 2016 with a stage 1 map 340bhp lovely motor to drive and goes like stink with good mpg

[@davidhatton6858]

The office looks lovely guy's. Beautiful car also, Nice to see a car with a spare tire instead of a repair can. Nice one guy's.

[@andrewwilson1118]

Getting posher boys love the walls ,before i forget nice motor 👍👍👍👍

[@ewanstewart8011]

Love the office space and your canteen is going to be great for you eating in comfort. The A6 looks great and Chris will do the business as usual 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jamierawlings7607]

Great car, had the same spec in black. Best car I’ve had so nice to drive and the sound system was amazing. Swapped for a F-pace for the wife unfortunately. Mistake.

[@julianadams3738]

When does Chris find time to sleep? He is now making a radiator , such talent. Great video guys.

[@gibgrth]

That's a cracking new project. I'm looking forward to watching its progress. Buy the chrome trim and get it wrapped😉

[@donaldrump1373]

Rob, get the chrome trim and wrap it gloss black.

[@adzhx]

Awesome motor this one, got to be one of the best so far, the magician Chris works his magic again 🫡

[@lyndonwebber1389]

You could live in that office lovely job 👍

[@leedstown]

Rob, I wonder why the owner just didn't buy it back and get it repaired?

[@paulwalker427]

That office is tip top, brown boot polish on the wooden chips - car will turn out splendidly - well done fellas

[@Aidan-LM02]

I’m looking at that kitchen and it was reminding me of my nans one same sort of colour scheme and tiles and then I see the clock with all the birds on that makes bird sounds aswell made me chuckle

[@Pugjamin]

Ah rob mate, there’s a few other places round stafford if you’re stuck again. There’s a holiday inn express at J13, there’s actually 2 premier inn’s at J14, then if you head down into Penkridge there’s a lovely place called the littleton arms.

[@davesclassicgaragetours]

Chippy, spark and panel beater. Is there anything this man cannot do?

[@chrishammett2176]

A great looking car, and not a lot of work, Chris did it again with that quarter panel as well as the office sign…….always look forward to every new video guys.

[@garyjmcnellan1234]

Great job on the lighting & the office 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍻

A write off? Seems ridiculous.
