Can we talk about how much of a great Supporter his Wife is
She’s essential to the channel, helps a lot 🎉 and has always been supportive day in and day out ❤ she’s the best
so true! lovely ppl!
She certainly sounds like a sweetest best wife
She's great. Giving me similar vibes to Shane's wife from @StuffMadeHere.
I was thinking how much they are "in tune" together, so I scrolled down to comment and this was the first message I saw. Awesome :-)
In the UK you can call it a Truck, a lorry, an HGV or an Artic.... If you tell people that you have a Semi, they'll probably call the police 😂
And a hemi semi is the one with a domed head, right?
In Sweden, we call anything with a cargo bed, 'lastbil', which literally translates to cargo car. Then we just add light or heavy in front of it depending on if it's under or over 3.5 metric tons.
An American style pickup truck would just be called a pickup here, and the word 'truck', although with a slightly different pronunciation is actually what we use for forklifts. Sometimes we say fork truck.
@@alanmumford8806 lmao
@@soulextracter Yeah that's similar to England, we say forklift truck here too.
We also say Långtradare about long distance trucks
First american i I ever saw figuring out how to open Ritter Sport on the first try. Good Job Ian!
He is obviously one of the not average bit more sophisticated US-Americans, its seems even that he can actually read
You passed the initiation rite to German chocolate!
Ritter really put a lot of effort in the design of their packaging (and even more in the marketing). In 1970, when most chocolate bars were wrapped in aluminium foil and paper, they had a very advanced (for that time) sealed, watertight packaging. The shape was choosen to fit into the pocket if a sport jacket and the product was advertised as a sport chocolate, hence the name and the slogan "quadratisch, praktisch, gut" (square, handy, good).
The idea of a sport chocolate may sound a bit strange to us today, because chocolate is not viewed as healthy, but when Clara Ritter had that idea in 1932, it was a good idea. Yes, it's that old!
@@olli1068 I think in a country that also introduced Fliegerschokolade, the concept of "sport chocolate" is actually rather... normal.
@@agp11001 "Fliegerschokolade" was also ahead of its time in a certain way. Not to mention "Panzerschokolade" 😵💫
In the 1930s you should have been carefull with sweets!
Yep ,Ritter Sport Made entirely square chocolate that was so easy to open .
Genius idea way back then !
great to see your family as well. wish you and your family all the best
I need to find me a woman who’s this good at pretending to be interested about what I’m interested in 👌🏼 I love it!
😂😂😂😅 lol
Yeah lol. She likes to see her man happy. Good stuff.
Some of us are really into it too.
You are like a little kid at Christmas, opening gifts, giggling and driving the small cars! This video was delightful!!!😂😂❤
Ritter Sport is the best value for money chocolate in Germany. One of the very few brands who still use real cocoa butter.
btw: As a German I have to say: Visit the English pub close to your home. Have fish & chips with a pale ale or scones with a cup of tea. You'll love it.
Oh, the police van was a Citroen as well. A Citroen HY
the youtuber Bruce Wilson moved to the state right below you. he got scanias too. maybe you can arrange something and go see some trucks first hand.
What a Lovely Family I've subscribed.
Thank You so much 🙏😎🎉
One thing to be aware of is that some of those Dinky Die -Cast models can be VERY collectible, and go for large amounts of money but only if kept in good condition and original packaging. So be sure to keep the tissue and the boxes intact!
Yeah I hope you didn't just bin that tissue paper.
pro tip: put the Haribo in a bottle of vodka and let it sit for a couple of days/weeks. Filter it through a paper filter if you have the patience and enjoy!
It wasnt directed towards me but im definetly going to try this
Can do the same with skittles
In Finland we do with salmiakki. i have never filtered any mixes
@@heikkilaine3934We have the same in Germany, we call it "Graue Sau" (grey sow/pig). Awesome stuff, but if you get drunk on it, you don't want to live the following day.
So... what should I do after I filter it? Eat the vodka or drink the Haribo?
ich habe heute endlich abonniert... einfach weil es mich glücklich macht zu sehen wie sie glücklich sind und sich über solche kleine dinge freuen. einfach toll.
großes lob an die frau die ihn so sehr supportet.
Haribo means Hans Riegel Bonn - name of the founder and the city and you opened Ritter Sport in the right way 👍
It is so interesting to me when you all react to some things that are so common for us here in Europe.
Toblerone moved their production to Slovakia by the end of 2023 which is why the mountain on the packaging is not the Matterhorn anymore (the iconic mountain of Switzerland) but a modified imitation of it.
How sad☹
is Toblerone no longer considered Swiss chocolate or?
I don't know why manufacturers do this.
For us who live in other countries, such things are the taste and experience of the specific country from which the product comes.
But eating Swiss chocolate made in Slovakia is not the same.
Do you have recommendations for some Swiss products that could be found in Europe and are still Swiss made?
@@Bea-xc7wy Kambly Brezeli are exclusively produced in Switzerland. I think Ricola too, but I'd check to be sure. Screwdrivers from PB Swisstools are produced not far from where Kambly is headquartered. Some of Weleda's products are also Swiss made and produced in Switzerland. Other than that...
We call those orange looking Citroën, a duck. Whenever we would see a green version driving by we, my brothers and I, would yell 1, 2, 3 GREEN DUCK. And who ever said it first could make a wish😊. I still say it outloud when I see a Green Duck. Although we hardly see them anymore. 😉
My late brother used to collect all the brochures on all the new cars coming out. He would roam the dealerships every week. He had piles and piles of brochures. Seeing that, reminded me of him as a kid.
And they dared call us weirdos at that age! 🙄 🤣 I can remember games like that, in the "massive" back seat, killing time on long journeys. Thank you for reminding me of forgotten days.
You got to make a wish? In Finland we got punched in the arm.. sometimes it got so wild, the parents had to referee or intervene. It had to be a VW Beetle (70-80s still in daily use), first 3 letters or last 3 numbers of the plates were the same or we spotted certain colored car, agreed upon before (back when cars werent all neutrals or red). You could get three punches from one car, but it was super rare. One particular trip to Lapland (from Helsinki, so 7-9 hours) and my left arm was one massive bruise.. I didnt yet know I have ADD 😂
Mercedes 300SL ''Gullwing'' one of the most beautifull cars in the world.
and the modern SLS and AMG GT are designed as a hommage to them
First dude gave you everything you need to know about Europeans trucks and busses😂Im not from the U.K. But those double decker busses are iconic the red ones, been a few times in one, a old skool one, and one of these newer hop on hop of busses.
You have a beautiful family. So happy for you, stay healthy folks. 👍
The old style British buses are called routemasters. Your joy at your gifts is great to watch. 😅
Last time I checked the UK was in Europe. Not in the EU. But definitely in Europe. 😉
Shhht don't tell him UK is just the province in Europe.
@@B0R0M1Rlast time I checked ethnostates suck and arent a thing
According to the British, they are not part of … how'd they call it? Ah, yes, “the continent”…
It's always fun to see how excited you get discovering new cars, trucks and everything else. But i think what is even much more astonishing is how your wife reacts, how excited and happy she gets watching you discover all this. She genuine gets very happy for you enjoying your hobby, that wife is a clear 10/10. I know so many wives that couldnt care less about their husbands hobbies.
My grandpa had a Black on black 1965 Chevy impala V8 as a taxi here in Finland.
Your missus would love that.
It was the worlds coolest car to folks in our small town, when I was little, including me.
He sold it in 1976 and it was like new then.
It could bury the needle from 200 km/h (125mph) speedo with ease.
We had no speedlimits then.
Greetings From Finland, again! 😊
All of the Candies (Ritter Sport, Harbor Colas , etc) you may find in Walmart and Aldi in the US. 😊
Your kids are adorable!
BTW, generally European Candy contains less sugar than US products.
I love how excited you ate and how supportive your wife is ❤
Such a beautiful family you got there man ... Great video and hope the gifts and the comments makes you all feel how apriacated you are..
Love from Stockholm Sweden/ J
If you want to learn pronunciation, I recommend "15 German brands YOU pronounce WRONG!" by Feli from Germany.
And swedish. Skenia... 😳
Car S.O.S. Was my favourite car show, Fuzz Townsend is the mechanic (he was in a pop band) and his main obsession is for old lorries and buses.
The premise of the show was to find someone with a classic car that needs restoration and for some reason haven't been able to Finnish, they collude with friends and family to restore the car in secret and then surprise the owner.
Can't believe we didn't get to meet Mrs. W! Behind every great man is a greater woman and we want to meet her! She's clearly very supportive of your automotive interest and that's something to be very grateful for!
She’s in a lot of other videos, apologies that she wasn’t in this one. Part 2 of this coming very soon, she’ll be in that 🎉
@thesushifiend you must be new to this channel ;-)
@@MrBigbonzai Pretty new yes. Been a subscriber for a few weeks.
Every time, I drive my Skoda Enyak, I think of you. Driving a Skoda is seen as very conservative and boring in Europe, but your videos make me feel cool. 😎
Mate, so much stuff you are going to have to rent a warehouse or open an auto museum now! I hear real estate prices are increasing, and hope Australia isn't getting further away! We all love you IWrocker family! 🤗👪💕 Haribos and Toblerone, yes please! 🙋👍
Toblerone is really a mix of Tobler and Torrone, made by the swiss chocolate manufakturer Tobler, with pieces of Torrone(italian candy) inside.
Wow, those Dinky Toys are an amazing gift, please know that they are sought-after collectibles with more value then you might think, be gentle with them & keep the packaging, your son could enjoy them in a different way ~20 years from now as opposed to playing with them at his current age 😉👍
Hi Ian! Your kids are so cute. Enjoy every minute you can share with them, they grow up so fast. Mine meanwhile are elder than you 😉
49:24 the alphabet is Cyrillic, used e.g. in Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Serbia, Belarus . The car itself looks similar to the Lada Niva, created on the basis of a licensed Fiat 124, because in the USSR a Fiat 124 license was purchased in 1966 and a factory equipped by Italians.
Living the dream my friend, you deserve all the love. Some people don't understand the amount of work it takes for just one reaction. Keep your family close and keep reaching for the stars. This is by a long way the best motorsport reaction channel out there.
I appreciate the kind words man, we have one of the best communities here on the channel 😎
31:38 - you nailed the pronunciation on the 2nd go perfectly! It's like "Cash-Kai"
The way he spoke it is exactly the right pronunciation for Germany, lol. Perfekt.
So cool; your smile is like when I was 6yo at Christmas Day. So nice to see you so happy.
My first car was red Skoda Felicia just like in brochure, surprisingly spacious and amazing in snow
I mean, these trucks magazines are perfect for those who read on the toilet like me 😅😂
you need to visit europe asap, i promisse you will love this
I saw the yellow parcel from the far and immediately knew it's Deutsche Post 🇩🇪 Paketbox...🤓🤣🤣
Hi buddy, as a British born citizen, who has lived all over the world, including NC for 3 years as a child and NYC for 16 years. It is fantastic to see you taking the time to appreciate not only European cars and racing, but also global racing. Keep up the good work. I really find your channel refreshing and honest.
Aww the kids wanted to try the toblerone. Nice to receive gifts from different countries
Awesome, i work in the same factory as Micheal and I am a volunteer firefighter in the town of Sindelfingen. Greetings from Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen.
49:45 On the side it says "Тольятти", to it's from a Russian town called "Togliatti" (or "Tolyatti"), named during the Soviet era after an Italian Communist leader.
Lada's factory is located in Togliatti.
Yup and its Lada Niva or based on Lada Niva
The 2CV’s we used to call flying dustbins in the UK.
Lada has such a fascinating history behind. How it started from a reluctant company in the soviet european satellite states to eventually become the state car manufacturer for the whole ussr. They made the lada Niva, one of the best if not the best mountain cars in europe back then.
@32:38, Ian didn't even notice the "police van" is a Citroen H van 🤣
what a great family! Greetings from Pilsen, Czechia!
Your happiness is so refreshing, I am actually happy for you 😅
I felt so good watching your happiness, bro. Its special. Your family is lovely as well! Thank you all❤❤❤
LOL, there is a reason why we call our home region around Stuttgart "Daimler-Benz City". It is HUGE, in my area filling up the better part of the 8 miles distance between my home town Esslingen and Stuttgart. It may be only rivaled by Wolkswagen's "Autostadt" (car city) near Wolfsburg.
Talking about Lorries.... One of the best tongue breaker: say several times: _red lorry, yellow lorry, red lorry, yellow lorry...._
I always end up sounding like a person from India... 😂
Like a kid in the candy shop!
We've got artics and lorries. Artics are articulated ie tractor cab and semi/permanent seperated trailer so they turn on a tighter axis 😉👍🏻🇬🇪
Haribo is German, but they have factories in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Spain, France, Great Britain, Hungary, Turkey and Brazil, and they all have a slightly different taste, as they are adjusted for the palate, that those countries have...
Awww, your mini-mes tasting real chocolate for the first time in their lives! 😍
Thanks!
Thank You 🙏 🎉
I love those videos where you involve your wonderful family.
What a great Vid! Kudos to all generous senders. Very interesting stuff!!!
About that Ford Mondeo stuff, I had one myself and it was a great Car! Really loved it!
And your knowledge about European cars always blows me away! You’re really one of a kind! I loved the bit where you drive around in your manual too!
Lada was created for Russia by FIAT based on some of their models they done the same in Spain & the old Yugoslavia & the former Eastern Germany & Poland & Checkaslovakia all utalizing the same Fiat design
Haribo has it's name from the founder HAns RIegel and the city BOnn. Here in Austria their factory is in Linz - they also have a factory store I've been at few months ago. Of course I had gotten myself a 1kg bag of pineapple flavoured (white) gummy bears...
Just discovered your videos. Hope you do more reacting to UK stuff, as I am from the UK. Like what I see so far regarding other countries though! Love your family, your kids are so cute! Much love, from an Autistic woman in North East, UK.
Thank You! More UK specific content coming 🎉
Awesome video👍 Best whishes to you and your family.
this is like easter and christmas together
Holy smoke that's a lot of stuff they sent you there pal !
I think you derserve it , love your videos you tell it how it is and are honest in your reviews .
Keep up your awesome honest reviews .
Have a good one man !
PS ,your kids are adorable and your wife sounds like a keeper there.
Great stuff man!
You should check out the old double-decker buses with the back doors that allowed you to jump on and off, sometimes while in motion. For sure, they wouldn't be allowed today.
Check out Billy Connolly's 'Old Lady On a Bus' routine and let him paint a picture in your mind, you will not regret it!
I'm 83 ,my dad ,when a young fellow on the farm in suffolk,used to drive a steam lorry ,coal fired, have you seen one of those??
I have not, sounds fascinating though 🎉
i remember them from old french movies :D
ahh Fred Dibnah flashbacks lovely
39:30 These Citroen cars were something special - they were very low. When you started it, it went up, but after you parked it and turned it off, it went down. Because of this lifting and lowering, and headlights that look like eyes, we called it "frog". 🐸
49:36 SPT Toliatti was a company in the Russian Federation that dealt with transportation, etc., and it no longer exists.
Doing my Service in Denmark, in a combined "Rescue and Fire Corps", we also used a little elderly model Landrovers! And it wasn't a good experience, as they often broke their axles during use! And the massive gears filled so much in the cabin, that you used to have the one foot by the door, as if not you would brake, when trying to use the coupling!! But I experienced one driving through the solid wooden pillar supporting an Electricity pole, and only with some scratches on the roof, where the end hit it, coming down again!
Lovely Piece!
There is so much goodwill everywhere! Remember that when you are forced to listen to hate! & endure selfish people!
If you want to collect more models try not to mark the "boxes" as this devalues them greatly! ☹
Regarding the german car models, the first seems to have been a Mercedes 540 K, the ultimate german luxury car of its time (the 1930s).
Then comes (of course a 300 SL, THE Mercedes sports car of the 1950s. More or less variations of this car won the Carrera Panamericana, the Mille Miglia, the 24h of Le Mans, closely related/basing on the F1-Mercedes.
The two models seem to be 1:43, while the Audi TT suspiciously looks like 1:87 Which are model railroad scales, scale 0 and scale "Half 0" 1:43/2 = 1:87.
Regarding MAN, if not yet known, that stands for "Maschinenfabrik Augsburg - Nürnberg", so the machine building company had its early locations in these two bavarian cities. Where the Nurembergers (where I was born) often like to pride themselves being frankonian (not "only" bavarian), and Augsburg, being about 50 km west of Munich is on the margin to Suabia, another subregion of Germany that did not make it into a separate federal state.
(Yes, Germany is a Federal Republic - and a democracy. Like France or Italy are republics - and democracies. Both goes together, is NOT seperate)
That shurely is boring for other germ(an)s, but maybe something new for foreigners.
So many awesome gifts :) Love it!
And your children are just the sweetest!
Them Land Rovers were used for all sorts.
My dad used to be in the coastguard and he used to use land Rovers, then he went to own a MK1 Range Rover 2 door and a series 2 land Rover. He was always underneath it, and me.
14:18 That little Audi TT is 1/87th scale. Most vehicles at this scale are produced by German companies, often in cooperation with the real manufacturers. Google for companies such as Wiking, Herpa, Busch, Rietze, Roco (Austria), ... and many many more.
38:39 The Atlas - Dinky Toys diecasts are only a few of the many recent reissues of vintage Dinky Toys diecasts, specifically those created for the French market. An original in this condition would cost a small fortune but the replicas are sold at very reasonable prices.
@49:20 That is a fire truck with the markings of Russian city of Togliatti (ex Stavropol; renamed in 1964 in honour of Italian politiciat Palmiro Togliatti).
I know it doesn't fit here, but I just want to answer you about one of the older videos because you asked. In Europe, you can travel from country to country thanks to the Schengen agreement, which allows the free movement of people between most of the member states of the European Union and some associated countries. This agreement removes border controls between participating countries, allowing people to travel freely without the need for passport controls at internal borders.
not gonna lie but you probably have the most supportive wife on this planet :D wish you guys all the best (from germany)
Aweeeee 😊 ❤ thank you 😊
The Citroen 2CV was a nice small car students could afford back in the days. It was known in France as the "deux chevaux", "two horses", meaning two horsepowers, and in Germany as "die Ente", "the duck", which was short for "die lahme Ente", "the lame duck". I drove one when I was 14 or 15 on private property (well, mostly) because the legal age for a drivers' license in Germany has always been 18. Sure, modern cars have their advantages, yet I love going to vintage car shows because I like cars that are purely mechanical, and easy to understand and to repair.
It also looks kind of like a duck head, with the round cabin and the long front as the bill.
One company I worked for many years ago made military radios for command and control from a Landy. Another company made a fancy landing guidance rig for helicopters that was designed to be transported in a Land Rover. It was basically a mobile airfield that could be set up or moved in something like a half hour. Land Rovers were used for everything!
BTW, a (my) childhood challenge in the UK used to be: say 'red lorry, yellow lorry' three times in a row, as quickly as you can. Try it!
Oh, in case you were curious, double-decker buses can lean at something approaching 30 degrees without tipping over!
And, the dark chocolate Toblerones are even better, imo.
In the netherlands those citroen 2cv's are nicknamed "eendjes", the dutch word for duck. We used to lovingly call them little ugly ducklings back in the day.
Volvo and Scania has there own firetrucks also ssab and some pappermils in Sweden.
Skoda Felicia was the first model introduced after VW got involved...
And it sounded like a sewing machine. Useless car. 😉
As soon as I heard that, you were just learning of the word "lorry" I had to chime in with this little tongue twister from the UK - try to say "Red lorry yellow lorry" 5 times fast. It is impossible haha
great band!
No problem for a 🇩🇪.. 🤣🤣
Citrion 2CV 4x4 with 2 engines , there is a video on you tube it's crazy , I know you like your 2cv's , I love your content / videos especially when your seeing something new to you kee em coming 👍
The cars from the DTM and the BTCC series are sooooooo beautiful. The racing was absolutely epic as well. You will absolutely love watching these races when u finally get round to it
14:05 I have the same in red! 😀 It came from a Kinder Surprise Egg Maxi.
You will have to open your own shop of Aussie goods soon!
What a beautiful family you have! congratulations!
38.30 Citroen Type H, 1948-1980, very popular foodtruck in Europe, slide doors
It was like Xmas, easter and birthday in one...🤣🤣 Just ❤ the surprised happyness..👍🤘🇩🇪
When they started racing Volvo Estates in the BTCC people were like what?
Then reality hit, watching one if these loaded up with two large pilicemen and a boot full of equipment still blisteringly fast, an eye opener back in the day.
Possibly the first Police car that even had a chance of staying with a large capacity motorcycle 🏍️
Keep the boxes of the Dinky Toys in shape. A toy car is only complete with its original box.
I wanted to give like to the video, but I realized I already liked it. Our family had a skoda felicia, and I driven it at least 30k miles on it. I loved that car for it's simplicity, and design.
Don't through the dinky toys boxes and packing away! These are collector items with a very good value!!!
Woah there are no Qashqai in the states !? They are absolutely everywhere over here, it's the only Nissan I see !
Such a great community for Ian to watch! on YT For me, as a German, a "Borgward Isabella Cabrio" is the most beautiful car in GER EVER.....
49:41 - That's a Russian Lada Niva fire 4x4
Lada Niva VIS-294611 (VAZ-2121) Fire Engine by DeAgostini.
I just googled the reference in the box and it came out.
Black letters on the side "call 01"
Тольятти (Tolyatti) is actually the town, where the VAZ is established in 1966.
The Ford factory in Dagenham, UK, used to have its own medical service and fire brigade. Most likely because they smelted their own steel and a lot could go wrong very quickly.
