    Hey everyone, I am shocked, humbled and amazed at how well my daft video has gone down. Thank you al so much for the kind comments. I am loving the car, I am working hard to push it on from the amazing job Bryan did creating it, to an even madder, faster, cooler rat. If you liked this story enough to want further updates, let me know and maybe I will start a little French Rat RUclips channel.

      @@eradeklerk Bryan asked me to make this video because people were asking him what happened to the Rat. I agreed but it was only meant to be a one off. Due to people amazing reaction to this video I am going to start a channel and see where it takes me and the Rat. Give me a few weeks and we will be up and running.

Owning the Rat is going to introduce you to a whole new world, that is obvious from watching Bryan's vids: he has shown there is a community of fantastically obsessed car nuts that are just nice people.
