    No need to apologise about the sound, your running a business and that's what makes this channel interesting 👍

    The speed in which those vans were repaired for 6k profit and turned around in 7 days was down to Robs close relationship with salvage yard owners and Chris's expertise in fabricating those new studs. Together they're a perfect marriage. Not many refurb businesses could fulfil those requirements which is what, in my opinion, sets SR and those like you apart in that industry, because you turn low profit expensive engine replacements into high profit cheap engine fixes - and not a single bodge in sight. Mustard lads, honestly. 👌

    Hi guys, emailing from down under(Australia) just letting you know that your videos are priceless, not only are they informative but so watchable! As so many of your followers say Chris can fix anything quite literally and his attention to detail is unbelievable, just gets on with the job. You guys must be mates because the way you get on with each other is just great to see and obviously not a con job on your followers.
    Crunching the numbers on the Transits and watching chris rocking backward and forward on his chair waiting for an opportunity to add something was as usual very funny, thers's a very dry sense of humour hidden away there!
    Keep up the good work guys, love your work!

    The fact that you drove this one all the way from Salt Ash even though it was a bit disabled proves that it still has lots of life left in it. We will say no more about the garage down there! I think you have a nice profit out of this one and all of them really give or take. The little Combo is a very nice van for someone with only 80K on the clock she has loads of miles left in her and is very nice inside, not worn at all. Well done to both of you in turning all the transits around and the Combo. Don't worry about the mic's Rob sometimes there can be interference from something and you might not know what that is, it is just a quirk. The only bit we missed was when Chris was in the cab. A great video once again Rob and Chris so thanks for your work on editing and putting them out. 👍👍
