The generosity of yourself and all the other companies coming onboard is really touching, I think you should bring Aiden in to help work on it , be involved in its rebuild, every cloud does truly have a silver lining.

[@whammond511]

I concur!! Ask Aiden if he wants to help!! It would be cool!! Maybe you’d spark an interest in him that he turns into a career. But he sure seemed overwhelmed on the other video. You’ll just have to see if he’s up for it. I think it would be good for him as it would help to change his reference point.

Honestly Matt always takes a big risk, and IDK if Paul even has liability(he must by now) insurance.

[@gordonmurray3153]

Hi Robby, great content, loving what you're doing with Aiden's dad's truck. That train horn is something I've hankered after since about 1976: On holiday in the South Of France with my family on a sleepy morning by the village harbour, I saw a big German tourbus was jammed in behind this guy in his pickup. The tourbus driver gently tooted his horn a couple of times, to let this other guy know that he was blocking him in. Nothing happened. Then the tourbus let rip with his trainhorn like that HornBlaster you just featured. Birds from everywhere around, startled, took to the air, as the sound reverberated off cliffs buildings, everything. That guy in his truck took off like a scalded cat. I was 16 at the time, I'm 62 now. That sound and vision remain with me as fresh as if it happened yesterday. I reckon Aiden and his pals are going to have huge fun with that HornBlaster. I'm wondering if they are seaproof, for mounting on a 30ft sailboat, available in Scotland, UK? One other thing: when are you going to get you and the lads workshirts, logo'd up and monogrammed, like Ben Cox's at FabRats, and Matt's signature shirt at MORR? Imo the camera is just crying out for it to be done, create the demand by the guys wearing your merch.

This way he can take pride in learning a skill his Daddy had, and do things his Dad would have loved to do to it. Good to see all the other Companies donating to the project.
