Crushing a Car - 1700 Miles in a Tiny Speedboat #14
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- The tow vehicle has become a crucial aspect of attempting to go around the UK in a tiny speedboat. Unfortunately time and towing have taken their toll on the trusty Landrover Discovery.
In this episode we are landlocked and head to the workshop to see what can be done about it, and in the process we learn a lot about classic cars. A very big thank you to Larry and Mike at the Ferrari House for their incredible patience and generosity. It is amazing how much work went into fixing up the Renault Avantime and hopefully this video captures some of it. / theferrarihouse

Naturally, a big thanks to the Support Team and thanks to LCM 4x4 for looking at the Landy. We still miss it very much.

I watch this for the boats and the water and the sea and the views and I just watched an hour about fixing a clapped out Renault and loved every darn minute of it! Harry, you're a genius.
The people!!
We’ve all watched Harry dig out expanded foam at the start and I’d watch Harry do pretty much anything, superb content 👍🏻
Ha just what I was thinking, I'd watch paint dry if he was presenting it 😁
The foam mining! A classic Harry episode! We love it!
Omg. More then one hour of Harry's adventures. Props to the person behind the music. Really well done. Such a great production. You should have your own series. Oh wait, you have!
We need a Ferrari House channel - what lovely guys. Epic video as always Harry - loved the stop-motion timelapse.
What a lovely bunch of guys for helping and educating you. Learn as much as you can and soak it all in. People who give knowledge without reward are rare and invaluable in life. Good times ahead harry. Great video.
Harry & Support Team, thanks for taking us on this journey and the guts to make it
Thank you, this is very generous. We will spend it wisely... on a mix of red wine and LPG.
Me and my 32 year old 80 series Landcruiser will probably see this day in the future. I genuinely dread it. I was so upset to see the old trusty LandRover crushed, I had to take a break. It is kind of funny how attached we become to these machines..
To new beginnings!
I recently had to get rid of my 1998 Fiat Ambulance campervan conversion. Drove it around Europe and it NEVER let me down. Miss is badly
Yesssss!!!! You're back!!!!
Brilliant episode. As a commited petrolhead it was the dream seeing all that stuff in Mikes garage! What a treasure trove, even down to the kayak in the rafters! 😃 nice one Harry! The Avantime is looking brilliant.
I think the Kayak is from WW2!
Love those two guys. You've got to respect a man who will wash the back of another man's wheels.
The requiem to accompany the scrapping of the Discovery and then discovering you have an Avantime! What a video
What a great set of lads that own and work in that garage, very passionate about their work and the cars that they work on. Shame about the Disco, it was a rusty, sorry trusty old steed that had served you well. Great to see Edwin all repaired and ready for its next adventure.
Seconded. They're not far from me either. I wish they did viewings of their stock - that NSX-R is one of my favs of all time. What a fascinating little corner of England, and great proprietors.
Not sure that "work" is the right word....... looks like more of a hobby shop/tax black hole to me. But fair play, they've got some great toys and it keeps them out from under the feet of their wives...... lol.
So Refreshing... classic cars, beautiful historic scenery, bit of DIY repair, interesting characters and a great soundtrack mixed in. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon 😊
One of the best videos on RUclips I’ve seen for ages, well filmed, lighthearted and funny. Just some guys having fun (mostly), passionate about things they do. No click bait, no moaning, no whining absolutely brilliant.
Good to have you back, was getting withdrawal symptoms from you, boat and team going around the UK.
Only Harry could turn a boat series into a Land Rover funeral, Renault rebuild and old luxury car tour. I'm captivated. The pacing in this is marvelous.
Love your content Harry, makes my day when I see a notification of one of your videos. Nice episode. Hopefully see Goodwin on the water again soon 🙏
What an amazing video - clean, calm, organized, easy to follow. It's just amazing.
It's amazing to see at least one customer bought an Avantime in the UK! Even in France this car is a textbook case of failed marketing!
That said, Goodwin is a very light boat. You don't "need" a Range Rover to tow her. The Avantime should do the trick.
Thank you for your videos Harry. It's a great journey around (and across) the UK. Beautiful landscapes, interesting comments about history, delightful British humour, well done.
I see one around here in Angers from time to time. Blue too. I've never been in one but did travel in a Vel Satis regularly and it was incredibly comfortable.
Those animations at 38mins 🤩
I was NOT disappointed … brilliant blend of ‘stuff’ (and loved the calliper stop motion - awesome 😃)
I know nothing about cars or boats but your production values and storytelling skills are so good that i would happily watch an hour of people cleaning car parts. Plus, it is so good to see something older repaired and saved.
Wow what a great guy with all that help. Very nice to see some beautiful classic cars also……
It's so nice to hear your theme music again. Your videos bring laughs and joy to our home. Well done and have a lovely holiday season.
Just yesterday I was missing you... A lot! Today... JACKPOT!!!! YEEEES - thank you!
Edit: hard to watch though the Landrover-bit 😥
Yes, it's hard for me to watch too. Rest in peace
Kindred spirits across the pond. Watching this series is like visiting with friends. Cheers!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, best thing on RUclips. Just love the adventure!
Honestly, superb again. You really can knock out a brilliant story and video. Thank you so much for continuing to make them.
We need more Harry! fire up a patreon so we can support you to bring us the content we all love. Surely a network will find your channel soon and commission a full series...
It is a nearly Christmas miracle 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I live in Canada , but I traveled in Europe a lot and I don't remember this model from Renault ...I really love it ! And I appreciate every historical details you added . Excellent video .
They only sold about 300 of them so it's hardly a surprise
Make a tv show at the Ferrari House! The 3 of you, doing all kinds of project’s and larking around. Please 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
What a nice Sunday treat! Nice one Harry 👌🏻 Looking forward to Goodwin’s next leg 👍🏻
Yes me too. I did 2 weeks in Scotland on a mini recce for you !! Got a few cafe names and locations to share
As others have said, I came for the boat and stayed because you make everything fun and interesting. You do such a great job of highlighting interesting people.
Fantastic as always! Really looking forward to the next boat trip 👍🏼
That was quite a journey, a nailbiter, even! Your Renault will be a collectable, so hold onto it. Hats off to the Ferrari House people. Top notch service. A two post car lift would make their lives easier, if the floor is strong enough & headroom sufficient. They service beautiful cars.
This really should be on the TV
Great to see you again Harry! What a lovely surprise.
Ive just had to scrap my 21 year old Terrano 2. Brilliant vehicle, very sad.
I got £535 for scrap. I replaced it with my neighbours 2010 Volvo 1.6 diesel. Owned from new, Volvo serviced. Lovely car, and 65 mpg!
He replaced it with a battery Volvo, its horrid!
What a fantastic garage! Surprised they don't have a full sized lift that you could walk under.
maybe spraying down all the parts of trailer and undercarriage that came in contact with sea water immediately after hauling out would help. Like Mike said "you're going to wash it on the weekends" having done all that work surely will motivate to not have it fall into disrepair again.
Loved the episode as always!
Get in there Harry, thanks for a new episode🏴🏴
Welcome back, what a gift to have another episode!
The adventure continues .... good to catch an update. The support team's disco lasted longer than mine did.
As a car enthusiast this episode really made me grin.
He wasn't joking Harry - they Renault Avantime is an incredibly special car from a truly mad period in Renault's history. It's rare, it's totally unique and it WILL be worth big money some day, especially yours with the big V6 engine. They're already worth double what they were 10 years ago when I first started looking at them.
This episode from a boat channel had it all.
History, architecture, classic cars, James Bond, great banter, good people, great views and family time..
Oh... there was even a boat.
Loved it
I can’t wait to see how a front wheel drive vehicle pulls a boat & trailer out from a boat ramp 🤔🤔😜 been a great series. Thanks
Mike is an absolutely top lad. Loved this episode!
Well that’s just made my Sunday morning , very enjoyable as always. Thanks.
I remember watching an old video about restoring motorcycles, One of the customers was Mikes Father collecting a SILVER HAWK Narrow angle V4 A beautiful bike!!!
Could you remind the guys at Ferrari House that any classic car that stands around for years can have braking system in which the pistons in the calipers (and the clutch/drum brake cylinders) never suffer from rust.
You bore out the cylinders and then sleeve them in a good grade of seamless stainless steel pipe with an internal diameter that can be the original size if original seals are still available...or be bored to a common available modern seal set close to original specs.
You can fit pistons and seals that are modern, available and relatively common.
The stainless steel sleeves mean no rust either inside the cylinder or where the piston extends to over time as the pads wear....
This is especially useful for hard core 4wd vehicles up to their doorhandles in mud and river crossings every weekend...
or LandRovers in Sainsbury carparks on wet days.
Sounds like a good idea. Stainless sleeves for the calipers.
Thanks for sharing the trials and tribulations of the surport team vehicle change.looking forward to the journey continuing
Another great video, best series on RUclips. Always a recognisable soundtrack. A boating version of stranger things. The guys at the Ferrari House need their own series.
So happy to see Goodwin alive again, was just thinking about you the other day. Love the series, doing something similar but much smaller myself the coming summer, inspired by this!
Super GOOD SHOW !!! Ten STARS. WE here love ALL your adventures starting with taking out foam in old light ship. Thank you sir. You make magic. We all love cars, new or old or expensive classics. this old fart(76) cannot wait for what is to come.
The only channel on RUclips that I hit like before I watch it. Keep it up Harry👍🏼
Why is this content so pleasing to watch? The content, the editing, the sound track... I haven't missed a single episode! Well done Harry!
Oh and the Avantime looks fit perfectly here
Nice old Brownchurch roof rack on the Discovery 2.
Hi Harry, absolutely enjoyed your video Harry , cant wait for your next edition mate .well done.👍👍
You understand the attachment we have to a trusted friend we rely on, be it a Boat, Land-rover or Old Boat Engine......and how attached you become to something you trust your life to..
I lost my faithful friend SAAB 9 5 1997...Auto Box decided to retire, fantastic towcar,
This channel is superb !!
So lovely to see all the perseverance, effort and passion of all those links in the chain coming together! Much respect for all of them!
Harry, this was epic! Fantastic characters, superb production. I loved every minute of it. Fantastic 👍🏻
55:30 "I've sprayed myself in the face with brake fluid... But I'm okay now". Harry you are a legend😀
Wonderfully well executed piece of work making this video and restoring the Renault. Cheers to you all!
Great to see another episode. Very much missed over the last couple of months.
Brilliant and what great guys at the Garage!
Crazy stuff, a Landrover dismantler would probably have paid a lot more for it, and the parts would live on helping keep other Landrovers going.
Loving your journey, up to part 12, great well done
Yes Harry Yes, so glad your back👍👍👍😎
Combining all the elements: out with the old, upgrade the rare Renault, history, geography, great coffee, driving vintage premium cars. Boat trip soon.
Form Follows Function. I like that Renault!
Retro shell suit+beard+old French car = lived in London.
Good video. Enjoyed immensely.
Welcome back Harry,we have been waiting for you for a long time now. Great stuff!
I learned a long time ago, mot it first before spending money on it, my local breakers is full of cars with new parts on them, fitted to then discover its beyond repair with another problem.
That aside, great videos really enjoying following your progress.
Well done. Looking forward to your next production on land or sea.
"I sprayed myself in the face with brake fluid...but I'm OK now". I'm watching from Southern California and you, my friend Harry, are awesome! Love the channel, love the series, love the episode.
Thanks Harry for the thought and effort that goes into your videos ,marvellous .
I haven’t even watched it yet but I know it’s going to be good. One of my all time favourite RUclips channels just because it’s so involving and non self reverential. Plus I love the music.
A nice change watching the all "new" support vehicle getting sorted. Good job chaps.
Good to have you back!
Thanks Harry Brilliant watch 👍🏼
What a lovely video! Cool to see that workshop! Amazing to see that workshop! That mill is actually featured in one of my video’s too!
Been a while since I’ve checkout your channel Harry! You joined one of my scout zoom calls back in lockdown I asked a question on the engine HP on your boat if I remember correctly!
Look after that car Harry…..it’s more valuable than you think and will only increase in value……looking forward to the next video…..
Brilliant video even without the boating, looking forward to seeing Goodwin back on the water again!
Was Sad to see the Disco go but subsequently cheered up to find someone else who has a Conrad Leach on their wall....
Another great video, looking forward to seeing Goodwin back in the water.
With the death of the Discovery, I felt like I lost a friend. The addition of Ferrari House feels like I've gained a new loving family. Bravo.
These videos are more addictive than crack! I could watch Harry do a video on buttons and I’d still watch it. I know you put a massive amount of work into these but more more more please.
You are a hard worker, sir! And quite handy with anything, it seems. Sorry to see the Land Rover go, but I'm glad the support team has an alternative now. Love your channel!
Another brilliant episode to the series! I am hooked! Love seeing the whole story. If you ever need a crew for the boat 😉 Thank you.
Ace! Night’s drawing in and cold outside so a new Harry’s Speedboat video just the job! Cheers Harry!
What a treat! Been missing this, sat in bed feeling rubbish with Lemsip max, the morning just got better. Sit, sip boat trip…(car trip)
That NSX-R is a BEAUTY!! What an awesome car in mint condition!!
And there’s me flat on the sofa with Covid bored witless thinking I wonder if there’s another Harry video out … and bingo … 👍👍👍👍
Fantastic film Harry! Sorry to see the Disco go but really interesting to see the restore and repair of the Renault. What a nice guy Mike is, The Ferrari House looks a real "man cave" and it was so interesting listening to Mike. Can't wait to see Goodwin back on the water and the next episode. Thank you.
An unexpected but wonderful hour spent watching again. Loved those Renaults when they came out, really appreciate different cars. See you next time!
Harry it could be a guitar tutorial, you're personality and the crew is what makes this channel work
All the best can't wait for the next part of this Amazing journey ⛄🎄⛄👌
Love the mechanical and car content . Bit of everything on this channel. Fantastic
AMAZINGNES!!!
Really enjoyed that. Look forward to the next
Thanks for another great video and you’ve got storytelling and videography down! ❤❤❤❤
Cracking video Harry! Good to see a cracking car collection and a cool bunch of lads on my doorstep 🙌
