    I only stumbled across your videos recently - I like your style(s)’, the approach is is refreshingly different from others who specialise in the same subject. All I can say is; keep them coming along - after all variety, they say, is the ‘spice of life’. R.D.

I'd be interested in some newer car videos with your thoughts on what they are like. Everyone likes a cheap car vid but honest reviews of any car are really useful to the buying public. Keep it up 👍

    Do you have an accountant? Buy another recovery vehicle, horses, send a car for scrap, £10 on cake, check £20. Make £600 on a car? Not going to retire early

    • @ShiftingMetal
      @ShiftingMetal  Год назад +2

      I have 2 accountants actually. What would I want to retire for, I don't like golf or gardening. The horses aren't mine, but the agricultural land I've developed into an equestrian centre and B8 storage site is though. £600 profit on a car isn't normal, retail stuff would normally be at least double that but you're right, treating my staff to £20 worth of cake is going to derail my finances lol
