Retromobile and Shed Update

This video is just a quick update on the last week in the Shed.
Ivan and Suzie went off to Paris on the train to attend Retromobile . The Offy bodywork is off to get welded up courtesy of ‪@Metal_shaper_tom‬, who popped into the Shed on Saturday and the Sebring Sprite is in the workshop awaiting reassembly.
Plus a little snippet of John's latest invention/ modified dumper truck.
Next stop Auckland.

John's skip bucket works like a charm. What a gifted engineer and a true asset to the shed (shop) he is. Thanks for showing it to us, Suzie and Ivan.

[@nigelsears7191]

happy travels . and well done John what a great piece of kit

[@johnsheppard7935]

Well done John that's brilliant!

[@user-vg6df2hi8n]

Yes it's a great idea - a mini dumper combined with a mini fork-lift.

[@martinda7446]

John, Ivan and Suzie are my heroes. Today, especially John. What a beautiful piece of work.

[@adamyearsley1204]

Your top 5% of viewers can hardly wait for you both to arrive ✈️

[@MarkHenion-pd9qs]

Have to say that, John's bucket loader is brilliant!! Just the right size, easy to drive, and gets the job done!! Fantastic job!!

[@davidforeman8347]

John you did a marvelous job of the machine!! Congratulation, Ivan and Susie have a great trip. From Alberta Canada; Cheers!

Love shed racing👏 Susie is the best! She knows her car bit, makes great videos, and keeps Ivan on his toes lol. Excellent work Jhon with the personal load lifter. The both of you have a wonderful time on holiday.

[@daleskidmore1685]

Tied up a few loose ends. Metal Shaper Tom is an artist! John is a genius too. Have a good time down in NZ.

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Wishing you both a safe trip and hoping you have a wonderful time.

[@mattoy123]

Loving the way suzies always right on it filling the gaps of info for Ivan,no holes bared sometimes… yes Ivan you’ve told us about the three wheeler already, hahaha😂

[@Eaglekeeper1958]

There is no way I could have gone four weeks without a video.

[@ccuyler72]

Safe travels Suzie & Ivan.

[@buzzhack4778]

Have a great trip down under Ivan, also big thanks to you and Susie for all the interesting videos. Hopefully spring will be here by the time you get back. buzz

[@tomday7309]

Thanks for the Retromobile footage. Oddly, I just had some rosé last night, Ivan Cheers! I love that color on the Sprite. John's invention is such a good idea and of course it works great. I look forward to Suzie's New Zealand coverage. Safe travels you two.

[@janvanrijsselberge3339]

Glad I could say hi to you in Paris, you're right Retromobile is overwhelming ( I spent 9 hours, not sure I saw everything) Cheers for the stickers, I'll stick one on my Fantic Chopper !

[@Easily-distracted]

Love this channel so much!... Fantastic team of lovely people having great fun. Safe travels…. John i hope youve patented your dumper design! ❤

[@pauldrury9695]

Well done John! Lovely bit of re-engineering on the dumpster, looks impressive. I see a patent in the works perhaps? Well Ivan and Suzie, we are wishing you safe travels to New Zealand and all ports beyond! Take good care. The Sebring Sprite looks very good and very solid. Looking forward to some videos during your journey(s). Bye for now! Paul. 🤓

[@JamesFoster-j2r]

Dear Ivan, Suzi and John, always fantastic content and a joy to watch. Ivan is a true legend, a great person who does not pretend to be any thing other than what he is! TRUELY GENUINE. Have a wonderful time in the southern hemisphere and keep the content coming.

[@davidcoleman7674]

Excellent work on the dumper John!

[@Angus762]

Safe travels and have a great time in kiwi land.

[@dilwyn1]

Watched many of your vids ... Hope to God I'm still fit and able when I get to your age.. I am 15 years behind !!!

[@daviddjerassi]

Safe journey i hope you have a great time ,John is a GENIOUS patent his idea quickly Thank you Susie loved the video.

[@Iflyagrasshopper]

Have fun down under Ivan! Johns dumper is a nice piece of engineering! Congratulations on your trike! I’m still waiting for some video of that mower in your shop.

[@jjmac3561]

Welcome to NZ. I hope the local racing drivers and rally drivers give you a ride in a few local cars. Pity you missed the Kumeu swap meet. Awesome job John.

[@MarkHenion-pd9qs]

Travel safely! Love the merch! You sure get around, thanks for taking us along!!

[@lanceneuman9528]

Young "ole John", special man that one.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Hope you have a safe and happy trip. Happy Valentine's day to you two. Johns cart will help out in more than the garden. You can get heavy parts out of the lofts when needed too.

[@stevemitchell4914]

NZ….you’re going to love it. Going again myself next year ( God willing 😂) Enjoy eating the fantastic PIES in the super little coffee stops! 👍❤️

[@burlatsdemontaigne6147]

Blokes like John built this country. Hope he gets a call from JCB.

[@HughClare-Talbot]

Ivan where you have noises in a box section you can drill a few holes in strategic spots and fill it wit expandible foam. That should stop crap rolling around in there.

[@martinda7446]

Great name you have! I know from experience some foam can exacerbate corrosion, so careful with that, especially if you leave the holes you made to introduce the foam open to the elements. Those rattly things can be a real annoyance... enough to spoil the fun! I'd do my best to pick them out. They have the 'rotisserie' jig to help.

[@gregbarnard2465]

Have the best time on your travels / in New Zealand. Would be great to meet you if you have any "meet and greet" events planned. Cheers

[@gregbarnard2465]

John must patent the loader design !! 🙂

[@TamTran-vw7zm]

When you two send stuff from New Zealand, will have to hold my phone upside down? Bon chance and bon voyage.

[@timjames7869]

Travel safely and Gods speed 🎉

[@myrlstone8904]

Have an enjoyable visit. If you’re like me, you’ll still be thinking about and having ideas for the projects waiting back home. 😂

[@JorgeFernandez-uc9qb]

You guys have a nice trip and a pat on the back for John because he has some mad skills, and that is some fine engineering on that dumper. Buy that man a steak dinner!

[@petergriggs7646]

Have a good time.

[@A2CVMAN]

Love thanks team.

[@lynnesarc6461]

Enjoy your time in the sunshine

[@BokorRider]

have a great trip

[@paulhelman2376]

The Carter body shop would do wonders with your Offy. Too bad he is in Canada.

[@carlt570]

Just had visions of John on Dragons Den with his tracked dumper. Genius

[@davidhamer8333]

Have a great trip to NZ and Aus, thanks for all the videos. I can pop over and show you how to gas weld aluminium if you wish. I am in Oxfordshire, let me know.

[@sparkywig]

Enjoy your trip

[@mikepelz7004]

The first time a flew was in a Lockheed Constellation from Travis AFB California to Japan what a journey!

[@richardford4570]

Very clever John congradulations .

[@johnrussell5245]

[@russellwhite7407]

👍🇦🇺 Enjoy your time in the Southern Hemisphere.

[@adrianhope4796]

I’ve a friend in NZ. I have sent a warning. Have a great time.

[@martinda7446]

Look after each other and enjoy your trip. 🤠😎 Sorry for adding yet another (third) comment! I can't stop my brain whirring after a new Shed Racing video. Really want to see the Frogeye.. Which isn't a 'Frogeye'.. (to be fair Ivan always calls it a Sebring Sprite, but to be honest I prefer the factory bonnet, which is iconic) ..back in all its glory. I really wanted one when I was about 17, so saved up... But so slowly the prices really started to rise from affordable for a lad scrimping and saving to double what I could ever afford (it was1980/81). I had managed nearly 400 quid and by that time it wouldn't get a running Frogeye. Fortune though befell me and I spotted a '67 Mk1 Vitesse 2 litre convertible in valencia blue at the bottom of our road for 400 quid. I found I was a little short having raided the savings to buy something or other, but the chap accepted 375. The car is still about, though with (I think) horrible wheels, seats and steering wheel. The standard seats were in perfect condition, as was the steering wheel - Hope the current owner still has them. There are some pics on the internet if you look up the reg. UYV 119F. PS That was in effect my 4th comment.

[@vwboy57]

Enjoy New Zealand

[@MichaelEnright-gk6yc]

Is this Mulhouse Museum NW France. I was lucky to visit last August

[@HansFormerlyTraffer]

If you want to use oil based enamel, check out polyurethane reinforced enamel. It's really amazing stuff.

[@martinda7446]

Ullo John, gotta new motor?
