i love you fuzz and your knowledge of cars

[@Sigtryggr1949]

I remember seeing Humber Hawks and Snipe/Super Snipe in the 1960's. They were regarded as high-end cars even then.🚙🚙🚙

[@MartysWhiteSuit]

Fuzz should do more stuff like this.

[@johnreed3576]

Bloody love this bloke, why isn’t he in our telly box more?

[@cgee3999]

I’m surprised Fuss hasn’t sorted out the odd mechanical issue to make it mechanically perfect, however Fuss has explained it perfectly at the end that he’s busy enough. Fair shout, great video thank you!

[@nigelcarren]

I always want to hear Fuzz talk about his music! 👍🎵⚒️

[@richardmendham5278]

Nice. Love the wooden dash and the outside.

[@ralphthompson6463]

Lovely car Fuzz,certainly on the lines of the Rolls Royce 20hp, a beautiful car once fettled a little.

Those in the Midlands are so lucky to live where there's an engineering heritage. I used to try to do classic cars and the trouble was always trying to get a company to do, not necessarily what you want but at least what they say they're going to do.. I recall living in Slough and visiting every car body company in the phone book showing them my photographs of the Cortina I wanted spraying having completed the welding and filling.. A few said they don't do restorations, fair enough. Some saw my photographs of the rolling shell and said bring it down so we can see. Three wanted paying for the ten minute journey to my garage. Some said they'd come and never turned up. Lots asked why was I doing it. Many tried to talk me out of doing it or said you wouldn't be able to afford it mate. Then there was one that got angry that I was trying to get quotes and accused me of wasting everybody's time. Eventually I got three companies interested. One guy came round and I assumed he'd look at it and from experience say so many thousands. Instead he spent ages trying to make some computer programme he had work that he said he had to use for some taxation reason. Weeks later after chasing his quote he admitted it was too much for him. Another company could do it and said £4000 but that he was busy with the GB team at the Seoul Olympics. Getting warning signs I kept him in reserve. The third had a couple of old cars in their shed but I could see that at least one hadn't been worked on for ages. They quoted £5000 and not for six months, he'd have to send his man to have another look. The guy came and told me he couldn't see why anyone was cautious as I'd done a fantasistic job and spraying it would be a quick and easy matter. I told them I'd deliver it on January 2nd. That day I arrived and the boss said it couldn't be until March. I told him that I'd already waited 6 months and if he didn't take it now and start then I'd go to my alternate. A that point he caved in and they started on it with me visiting every few days to mke sure they didn't stop. I supplied the paint as he said they couldn't get it. Six weeks later I got it back with only a few things they'd done wrong. I think they wanted another £600 because of things that they hadn't noticed originally. When I ask owners at shows who sprayed their cars they always say the same thing: A mate sprayed it for £50. They're the kind of friends to have.

[@alanbower9296]

beautiful car fuzz 👍

[@stevetabley3984]

The big 6 high end Austins of the time were just as if not more sumptuous !

[@paulb4uk]

Humber looks superb

[@naradaian]

Spoiler alert!

[@richaddulieu1967]

Fuzz watch cold War motors Scott is a master of metal 👌 🙌 😎

[@mrjob-oz4ex]

Good man fuzz

[@colingianella7172]

I suspect the front brake backplates were fitted on the wrong sides. ie. N/S fitted to O/S and vice versa thereby giving leading edge brake shoes where there should be trailing shoes making braking in reverse more sharper

[@Neontrifle]

Sounds like an old electric milk float;)

[@jamieevans6395]

I used to have a 1935 wolsely wasp id love to know if its still on the road

[@57northphoto32]

4:11 if Tim had been about Fuzz would have ended up with a Malteser somewhere special😳.

[@zoltanbebto4321]

like for Fuzz

[@martiniv8924]

Listen to those straight cut gears 🤓

[@markmiwurdz202]

@Martini V8. Would you need to double de-clutch when you need to change down a gear? And be at a standstill to select first gear because it did not have synchromesh?

[@kbrickell4732]

agree leading shoes put on incorrectly

[@riversider681]

Interesting that the gearshift is to the driver's right.

[@magpie6648]

Nice car.. the gearbox is louder than the engine.. doh!

[@ringo196]

Leading shoes and trailing shoes wrong way round?

[@almorrison6271]

Why cant all mechanics be like Fuzz?

[@kennyc3670]

Can't stand SOS - that bighead Shaw ruins it for me. Pity Fuzz can't do the show on his own.

[@davidsharpe7644]

There's only one thing wrong with sos and its called tim

[@dieselfan7406]

So nice to see Fuzz without the unfunniest moron ever on TV.

[@englishman831]

Fuzz is a great mechanic and a thoroughly genuine, likeable bloke. Tim is an arsehole.

[@raychambers3646]

Tim's ok but needs to rein himself in a bit.

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

Tim is a 🔔-End that thinks he’s funny and important, I’ve got news for him, he’s neither.

[@GarryCarr56]

Tim should remember the show is not about him

[@MIB-iy6qq]

I can't decide if it is just an eye patch he is trying for or a tee pot cosie eye patch, so called fashion victims 🙄
