I know this is his thing making YouTube videos but I think he does a good job of it and makes it very interesting.
I’ve been watching also....[emoji106]
I’d have washed it within 10 minutes of it hitting my drive though.
I did think of you Terry with this one as I know you’d been after a BB. I hope you’re keeping well.
Ladbible have picked it up and ran it as a speeded up video - he is now well over 1.5m views - likely to be his full time career soon.
Great angle in an already crowded space - wish him well - have enjoyed his channel and ones like it at the direct cost of print media.
Don’t bother with that much anymore.
+1. Can't remember the last time I actually bought a car magazine.Quote:

Makes interesting viewing that’s for sure, although I’m not sure where he is trying to get to with the bbi? Even at the price he paid, unless somebody really wants a project or that particular car it will be interesting to see if he makes money from the car itself, given what they are selling for at the moment.:hmmm:
Still, fair play to him for establishing what he has done, and showing that you can work on these cars yourself.
As to magazines; I’ll take the “old man” badge please. I really dislike online magazines and quite like a hard copy I can lounge in the bath with reading.:grin:
I think you sometimes forget, you are ‘old folk’ to some of us, mod :grin:Quote:

Something new things I do precisely because they save me time to do other things - like internet shopping.
More time for driving :-)
Indeed, like multi tasking. Absolutely bizarre coincidence but scanning Facebook as I opened CS. This opened on a comment from you and Facebook opened on a comment from you. You're everywhere Mod :laugh:Quote:
