What Happened To Ronnie & Why Did All His Cars End Up On eBay?...

[@Mrjohnbigboy]

Well done for caring. Not only about Ronnie, but his pigeons, too.

[@SunnyD1865]

Rest in Peace Ronnie. Such a kind and friendly bloke, it’s a shame there aren’t more people like him around these days. There’s comfort in knowing some of the cars have been saved or parts of them are being sold on - hopefully Ronnie’s story can continue with them. It is a massive shame that Ronnie is no longer with us, but it is nice we all got to “meet” him, his cars and his passion before he passed. Massive, massive respect for caring about the old chap and showing your concern for the circumstances too - it’s heartwarming to know that you were there for him and made good friends with him as elderly loneliness is such a terrible and heartbreaking thing

[@garfield2279]

RIP Ronnie, sounds like a free spirit who did things his own way, hope he’s at peace now.

[@troublemcallister730]

Colin, you and your mates are lovely, warm, caring human beings. Ronnie lucked out making friends with you. Ronnie was such a lovely old codger. It's a shame - but at least he had you lot to care about him. The pigeons had ZERO clean water as well as food. I think they might be homing pigeons and Homers WON'T leave. You really need to call the RSPCA. You need to contact the RSPCA. It's a shame what happened to him, but you do need to contact the RSPCA to ensure his pigeons are looked after. I hope his cat is okay too. But THANK YOU for caring.

[@emmabh2166]

Gosh, this is just awful! You’re an absolute diamond for caring about him and his belongings! Always said you were such a kind soul 💕 ronnie will be thanking you, wherever he may be x

[@matthewcurtis2388]

This is testament to the fact that you are a good soul Colin.

[@isgxxl1905]

The world is a better place with people like you looking out for others. Loved how much you cared and I'm sure Ronnie appreciated your friendship

[@Simon-ui6db]

Respect for caring about him and making sure it was all above board.

[@ClarkOVision]

Sorry to learn of Ronnie's passing Colin. Thank you for caring and checking the situation out. I hope the birds were relocated. Take care. 👍😔

[@dsbh100158]

very sad...and thank you for caring so much...its so good to know some people care...may Ronnie RIP

[@MelanieJolie]

Rest in peace Ronnie 🥲 x How heartwarming that Colin and his friends cared enough about him to find out what had happened to him and to his cars x a little kindness goes a long way 💕⭐️ let’s hope the pigeons managed to survive🤞🏻

[@frankforrest1597]

Colin, this world needs more of the like of you and your chums. My most sincere condolences of the loss of Ronnie. I wish that in my senior years, I come in contact with someone as caring and thoughtful as you. May the good Lord look over you and keep you and yours safe and healthy. Cheers, thank you for the update, even though sorrowful. 👊👍✌

[@sugarsundae3400]

So sad to hear Ronnie passed away he was such a lovely man. Thank you for caring for Ronnie and his pigeons. You guy's have big hearts 💗

[@MrTreblue]

Only just had a chance to watch this and was very upsetting to hear about Ronnie's passing. The video you made with him is one of my favorites as its not everyday you meet such a nice guy who is willing to talk about their cars, especially on video... He was a guy I could have chatted to for hours and would have loved every second of it! Not many of his caliber left in this world sadly... Rest in piece Ronnie.

[@lindsaymacpherson8782]

This is one of the sadest videos i seen for awhile Hope you keep your word and find out what happened to Ronnie Thankyou for sharing it and keep us posted what you find

[@joycesmith4599]

So sorry you lost your friend! I enjoyed the video you did with him, a really nice man! Thank you for your kind heart! RIP RONNIE! ❤️ in Tennessee

[@jarcs13]

Thanks Colin, nice video and a tragic story. So many of our great old school people, including my Dad have been taken away from us due to Covid. Ron was in a class of his own. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@VSB83]

You are a top man! You had the respect for him and his beloved pets! Thank you for sharing.

[@jonathankitching6856]

Need to contact the rspca about getting the pigeons rehomed.

[@dangerousandy]

RIP Ronnie. Thank goodness his cars were not stolen. I hope the pigeons get rehomed.

[@andyjasso3050]

Well done. So sad but thanks for sharing this story with us!

[@Twinklyist]

You guys are so respectful and so kind.. I hope you find out the truth for Ronnie ❤️

[@damoncarter666]

Mate, well done. A great tribute to a guy that I’m sure had some family members around him that loved him for who he was. Keep doing what you are doing, it’s really nice to see people like your good self so grounded, and, actually genuinely caring for others.

[@johnjaneb3557]

Lots of respect to you brother, You Cared & went back to find out, not many would. Didn't see the original video yet, but will get there soon. I know from past videos you have respect for what you discover. God Bless Ya.

[@robertswan4109]

Thanks for following up on this Colin. At least it seems there wasn't any skulduggery involved. Can't see that Ronnie would have been happy in a home without his cars and his pigeons, so maybe it was for the best after all. Would be great to know more about his life, but I guess we will never get to find out now

[@toopoos]

Well done guys for looking out for dear Ronnie, God Bless him. He'll be doing a whistle for you kind and caring lads, also a huge thumbs up to you all for your concerns regarding the pigeons and looking for the cat. Top job chaps.

[@amygross5396]

so sorry 😞 ! very kind of you to come and check on him !!! Blessings , so kind of you to check on the pigeons, your so SWEET & KIND !!! so sorry for your loss ,GOOD PEOPLE ARE FAR AND FEW 😇

[@WthaHatchet]

Sorry to hear about Ronnie and sorry for your loss of a good friend and kind car guy just like yourself. I wish it ended differently for him. Sadly that wasn't the case. Another fine soul lost to covid. Keep your head up mate! I hope his cars go to someone who will cherish them! RIP Ronnie! I'm glad we got to share in your meeting of him and he can live on that way!

[@morrisminor4252]

He was such a nice man and so passionate about his cars it’s so heartbreaking see them just lifted from there home

What a neat old guy , so sad . It's so nice of you to try your best to find him .R.I.P. Ronnie.

[@weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

You've got me in tears. I'm so sorry for Ronnie and for yourself and overwhelmed that you care so much. Your compassion is just beautiful especially in this world where so few people care. You've pretty much driven from one end of England to the other to come and check on him And to check that things are above board. I was startled to see on the McDonald's receipt that its the only local (regional!) branch to me. It's brilliant to know that you were up this way but so very sad as to why. I just want to give you a hug to say thank you for this video and the reasons behind it 💖

[@alasdairvincent6248]

I’ve just watched the earlier video again. Such a friendly and welcoming man who’s cars meant a lot to him. It is great how you befriended him. It is so sad how his life ended. RIP Ronnie.

You are a kind man Mr Beard 🧔 and I wish there were more like you. Please tell us you called the RSPCA re re-homing the birds. Very sad about Ronnie but at least he lived life the way he wanted. Gill

You have always come across as am amazing person. I don't know you but you have definitely proved yourself as being an amazing person. Not many would of took the time to do what you did for Ronnie and his pigeons. It's a shame the ending was so sad but you know you did the right thing in your heart. You was the first explorer I ever watched and your still a number 1. Thank you R.I.P Ronnie x

Long time subscriber here. That’s one of the saddest uploads I’ve watched in a long time. Please tell us you contacted the RSPCA about the pigeons. I hope his cat was re homed and not locked in his home.

You boys are such nice guys, in a world filled with ppl that just don't care, it was so refreshing to see the empathy you had for those poor pigeons I've NEVER cried watching urban exploring! But here I sit, head in hands heart broken for the poor birds that don't know what happened to their Dad 😪 I am very sorry about your friend 💔

[@leeholden8658]

Can’t believe what the seller did to the Packard Clipper. He sold it for spares and all that’s left is the front. He basically chopped it from the dashboard back,so all that’s left is the front end,dashboard and front doors. Everything else including the floor to the boot has been sold or scrapped. Just glad Ronnie didn’t see it like that

[@Julia-xg5yx]

Bless his heart wasn't expecting that ending. Big respect to you guys for chasing this up hopefully his cars go to people who will bring them back to life

[@patriciayoung3267]

God Bless You Colin for your kind heart. I am sorry that Ronnie's story was so sad and I hope the pigeons were properly cared for.

[@lyndaehrich3872]

My ex-husband and I bought two 1942 Chryslers (I think...it was 30 years ago) from an older gentleman. He was a retired body guy and had been accumulating on his own property for "someday." He had a huge 20-foot bay built to accommodate and had about 20 more cars on his property, which you could not see from the road...just the steep downhill driveway. His property faced the Banana River. Along came a developer who bought land next door and built a condo. The people who lived on the east end began complaining that when they sat on their balcony they could see the cars. The city kept fining him until he sold everything one by one. So sad.

[@IamNotANumber]

What a big hearted chap you are, well done to you and your friends. I'm so sorry the outcome wasn't more positive.

[@MrVxrman]

Oh what a sad ending for poor old Ronnie 🙏🏻 Thankyou for showing very genuine concern for an old gentleman Colin, Lee and Ben 🤝🏻 I think a lot of us were under the impression that he had no family. I don't think there was great care in removing the cars as to the damage to the caravan ect either ! But at the end of the day it sounds all above board and that's all that matters now. My regards go to Ronnie's family and hope the pigeons find a new home too. R. I. P. Ronnie 🙏🏻

[@crazypainter57]

thank you for caring and please do try to find out if there is theft ...that is too bad what some people will do
