The non-timelapse timelapse was a fun feature, I enjoyed that! 😄 Merry Christmas guys!

[@Karoti]

At least there was no swearing on the non-timelapse. lol

[@The70s80scollection]

Classic!, just as well we put that timelapse on....love it!!!....

[@westmidlandsdashcam6717]

What I learnt from that Timelapse fail was that when we see you guys on camera that’s exactly how you are off camera and that genuine-ness is what makes everything you do so watchable. Thanks for all the awesome content

[@thebigbowler]

Always admire how politely they speak to each other.

[@v88krb]

I bought 2 tickets in the draw, not because I wanted the car but as a way of making a small token of appreciation for a year's entertainment. Well done guys, have a great Christmas.

[@paulbradford8240]

The last job I had as a Police Officer with Essex Police when they medically retired me was to collect a new Focus diesel estate (in May 2000) from Chelmsford and take it back to Southend. It was such a lovely car to drive, that we ordered one for my wife. Fully loaded as we were lucky enough to have a Ford ticket from my Grandfather. It took several months to arrive being a special build. Six months later, I bought one for myself too, but a hatchback. Again, fully loaded, plus a sunroof. The dealer called it the 'Christmas tree's as it had everything on it. Both superb cars that never let us down. I've been a fan of them ever since. Would love the Tangerine Scream! Nice job. Have loved the work that you have done throughout the year. Thanks for the entertainment. Happy Christmas to you and your families.

[@JasonSmith-tv2zw]

Good job we're on time lapse says Chris. Interesting to hear the behind the scenes conversations!!

[@adamnyman7009]

Love the way Rob practices his jokes on timelapse, (maybe not :-))and Chris has a knowledge of Tony Blackburn dad jokes. Fantastic watch. Happy Xmas guys.

[@markbennett6658]

Rob’s joke was at a similar level to Chris’s tbf 😂

[@skodakatie7341]

That was a fairly straightforward repair for you. You both deserve an easy one after all the hard work you both put into other repairs. Great video, seasons greetings to you both ❤.

[@differentgearuk]

When you think it’s on Timelapse 😂

[@itsmephil2255]

I quite like it though, shoes Chris and Rob in their element

[@johnchincotta1qwdb15]

Another cracking acquisition guys,and all replacement body components in exactly the same color match,how good can that be!!.That car will sell like a hot cake.

[@robertparkes4982]

Happy Christmas Rob and Chris...I love your channel and content...2 smashing blokes....

[@NOWThatsRichy]

Can't believe that was written off for that minor damage! Easy fix! Back in the old days, many blokes would have done repairs like that, out on the driveway, on a Sunday morning, after a quick visit to the local scrap yard! You can sell the old doors for parts or repair too!

[@Dalbayob69]

Mine was written off for less than that. Cars value 10k, cost me £300 for 2 doors in colour and job done. Where they (insurance) get their numbers from I don’t know.

[@piovo5222]

@@Dalbayob69 pretty sure its new parts from dealer and it adds up.

[@al.1762]

Throw in a rental car and it soon adds up 🤔

[@Dalbayob69]

@@piovo5222 repair needs to be more than 70 or 80 percent of cars value for them to write it off. No way it would cost £7-8k just for 2 doors but hire car was £345 per day. Took them 11 days to do estimate and bodyshop said it will be atleast 2 months before they can fix it. So I think it was written off purely due to cost of hire car because bodyshop is so busy. Lad who picked car up said they have over 200 cars in yard and some been there for over 6 months waiting on parts.

[@tttt4029]

@@piovo5222 Exactly plus £100 per hour labour, easy rack up several thousand pounds.

[@tomtodhunter1776]

Fantastic! What a Christmas present, two quick turn around videos in quick succession. I can't believe how lucky you've been on the parts, especially the colour match. Top work. 👍

Merry Christmas, Chris and Rob i enjoy quick vids like this. Well done, guys .

Loved the candid camera section!

that is some ones dream car for a massive discount....love your vids and love you both.....merry christmas rob and chris.....keep up the good work so i dont have to pay a tv license to watch crap

[@jungleistmassiv]

Another great video Rob and Chris. I spotted the wheels too as soon as you opened your van door, they are mk2 facelift wheels, if you look closely at the spoke shape they are different to the mk3.

[@davidhughes1634]

Great videos thought out the year & a nice easy one to end the year off.Merry Christmas Rob & Chris.

[@petemartin1526]

even with the bloopers it still makes great content

[@davefrench3608]

What a little gem. Madness to be written off for a tiny bit of damage like that, but it does mount up. Happy Christmas you two.

[@davidshattock9522]

That colour could be like the one near me it's an estate in a pearl finish good luck if he needs to match it in future

[@phildavies7852]

given the insurance will be based on using new panels and paint... that would outweigh the value of the car... so it's nice to get used parts for a decent price

[@lsa8164]

Totally agree written off for nothing really

[@6x6travelmedias25]

One of my favourite channels..... been watching it for well over a year now. Each episode watched with a cup of coffee and my breakfast. The funny thing is I don’t live in the UK and I no longer have much interest in cars at all...... such is the quality of your channel, well done guys 😊. I’m originally an Essex boy, my brother actually lives close to you in Kent.... but thanks for providing such entertaining and watchable content, Merry Christmas to you both and looking forward to 2024 😊.

[@davidhumpherson4904]

Such a feel good channel. I love how you guys do business. Very straight forward blokes. Merry Christmas!
