[@danhenno5502]

Dillon Sykes raised he’s raised with a silver spoon in his mouth. This boys dad has a rich friend who “wanted” a bespoke Land Rover. Thankfully daddy could fund a project and they could find a decent mechanic and fabricator (who do all the manual and both don’t get a mention by the way) whilst this 20 year old can “project manage and order parts” Give him his dues, he sounds like he knows what he’s on about but he’s reading from a script if I’m honest. Best of luck to him. Hopefully daddy can find more friends.

Bendude Is it you in the video? Why are you so defensive 😂 Your analysis skills are obviously needing a bit of work my friend. It’s not really a stupid comment when you connect the dots - daddy’s money allows him to play around with the expensive motor he has and gain the info he’s dishing out to the guy who’s come to review the thing. Privilege allowing him to do so. Quit crying and defending the boy so viciously it’s a bit weird.

[@bendude6748]

A O no it’s not me just people like you are annoying, anyone that’s got anything better than you then the “daddy’s money” comment comes out so you can justify not being as well off lol! It’s not even his car he said he was building it for his dads friend but you’re still triggered by jealousy. I’m not the one “crying” and giving out the daddy’s money comments just because you don’t have any money doesn’t mean everyone’s poor mate.
