congratulations on the new job, not a lot of people put mental health as a priority, but its one of the most important things in life... glad to see your on your way
Thanks buddy. I agree people don’t put it first and I have fell victim to this lately. Onwards and upwards and we will keep pushing. Cheers for the support 👍
I'm a newbie to your channel but I'm enjoying it. Good luck in your new job, I know what it's like to be stuck in an unhappy job & agree with you wholeheartedly about moving on! I'm now retired so life's good! All the best!
Hey Tony firstly welcome to the channel and thank you for supporting us. Yes it’s not a nice place to be in a job that wears you down. It sounds like your all good now, enjoy retirement. Thanks for watching 👍
Remember, we all need to work but making sure you’re happy in your daily job is so important. I had to start my own sign company back in 2015 as the stress working for a company was taking its toll. Health and happiness is the important factor as well as your mental health. I’m sure you’ll be buzzing and a little apprehensive when you start with Minimine. We, the viewers will wait to see more in the coming months and the plans you have take shape.
Definitely buddy we are at work 70% of our lives and it has to make you as happy as possible. Thanks for nice comments onwards and upwards for the future. Keep watching for some changes and plans that will be coming. Appreciate the support as ever 👍
Congratulations 🎉 in all honesty you hid your work issues very well. Things are looking up 👍 I jacked in my Job back in January after 6 long years, it was a great weight off my shoulders, I just woke up one morning and thought that's enough ! People love your channel and what you do. You have all our support ❤
I appreciate the comments means a lot. I just tried to crack and doing these videos made me feel better which is why these won’t be stopping. It sounds like you have been in the same place as me also. Hope all is well now. Videos will come so massively appreciate the support 👍
Congratulations on the new job. Incredible how so many commenters have had the same sort of job stress issues. Count me as another one: I was also getting very ground down and unhappy but fortunately got the opportunity to opt for voluntary redundancy and early retirement with a very good pension. It gave me the opportunity to fulfil an ambition to go to University to study a subject I love.That was 27 years ago and I have never regretted the decision I made. I am also very fortunate to have had a wife who supported my choice and who had recognised the signs of stress I was suffering more than I did myself. Best wishes for the future.
Thanks George. Yes it’s very important to have a good support network around you it sounds like your wife is ace and you have for though that. I am fortunate also to have a good lady in my life who supports what I do. Thanks for supporting the channel and watch this space for restorations coming soon. 👍
Congrats on the Minimine job, winner, winner!! You and I have gone through the same job drama at the same time so I can genuinely empathise with you. As you may remember I work as an admin for NHS mental health and I've had to change teams due to stress and I'm now feeling like you, the relief and change feels great. I can see it in us both and is clearly visible from my end, well done taking the leap mate. Whatever happens with Simpson's Classics in the future, good or bad, I'm here for it all. You take care of yourself buddy.
Thanks Graeme I appreciate that and have always appreciated your support to the channel. Yes I remember you saying about your job and I hope your doing better now. Simpsons classics will keep going but will be going through some changes for the good of the channel I think 👍
@@SimpsonsClassics I'm doing a whole world better in this new job Marc thanks, stress levels have dropped a great amount. Changes are never set in stone and can be adjusted if need be but the die hard subs will stay no matter what happens, so bring it on I say.
Thanks buddy. Love the vw I really do but some big life changes coming up. Haha you do like the little clubman don’t you. Well hopefully it will be back out to play soon.
Awesome news with your new job with Minimine Marc. Very exciting I’m sure .. would love to have access to all that Mini goodness on a daily basis .. I’m just slightly jealous buddy lol All the best with it and awesome to see a new spring in your step sir.
Congratulations, been in same position a few years ago and struggled making the decision to change employment. Family and friends got me through and making the decision to change direction was the best decision I've ever made. I was in a dark place for some time but changing my employment and my working hours gave me a 'new' life and can honestly say I've never looked back or regretted it. My motto is, you only live once, this ain't a trial run, so if you want to do something and are able to do it, then you should do it, it's much better to have tried and failed than live with regrets. As mentioned in previous comments, Minis and VW's are my life, the Type 2 van will give you challenges and headaches but VW Beetles and vans are what has helped me and the scene is second to none. Keep hold of it and enjoy. Enjoy the new job and hoping everything turns out the way you wish it to.
Thanks Adrian. Lovely comment and I am glad things have worked out for you also. Life is definitely to short and I hope to be a lot happier on camera and bring you guys more content as my life unfolds more. Thanks once again for the support of the channel. 👍
Good choice! Do like a mini van but as you say getting so expensive now. Welldone for getting the dream job i think ill be looking for a change soon as feeling the same as you were. Only good things to come 👍
Hi Marc, well I couldn't be happier for you! You have obviously worked yourself into a position where this has become possible through your own efforts, so we'll done! Sounds like you've made the right move given the job you were doing and the workload. And I'm sure you'll be so much happier and less stressed working with Minimine. And I'll say it again, I love the content on your channel and always look forward to the next episode 😊 Great stuff as always...carry on the good work! 👍
You have made me feel a bit guilty. Me and a mate cut up a minivan for scrap on his driveway circa 1970. I would love to own one myself now, as vans are so much more practical than cars. Your channel has certainly rekindled an appreciation in me for the Mini. I'm looking forward to future videos.
Don’t feel guilty buddy it’s what happened back in the day like with many cars I am sure. Cheers for watching and supporting the channel I hope you get yourself back in a mini soon then? Stay tuned for more 👍
Congratulations, it's great that you have found a way to move forward and keep doing the things you enjoy. I got so disillusioned with my job (of 36 years), I took early retirement, but I am now finding my lower income and the current economical situation has meant I have had to delay some of the things I wanted to do - like find an old Mini to restore the way I want! So pleased you're keeping going with the channel. Ever thought about rebuilding a car to a level able to compete in historic rallies?
Thanks Andy. I hope it works out well and we can move forward nice and steady. I guess we have to do what we have to do. I will add your question for the coming weeks. Cheers 👍
Do what you need to do to stay happy! I'm excited for the career change. That's huge my friend! I'm in a similar situation professionally. Just plain worn out
Congratulations and all the best for you and Minimine who have recognised you as an asset. I guess you might have to leave your workshop as you indicate you will move to another part of the country. Your mix of Mini and Volvo has been and I hope will continue has been great for me. I also have a VW Crafter and my grandaughter has my late wifes Polo so even the camper has links. I had six months working for a firm I hated so I recognise that going to a firm you respect and want you will be great for you as it was for me when I escaped! I hope your links with Matt and James will be maintained and Frost of course. Onwards and upwards.
Hey thanks Rob for your comment there is loads of changes coming and I will do my best to steer the ship nice and steady but there is things in the pipeline that need to be different moving forward so let’s see what we can do. All your support is ace and that will be a massive thing moving forward. Yes of course those guys will appear on the channel. We have big plans moving forward 👍
Hi Marc, It seems there are not many people that enjoy going to work and if you have found a job that you really enjoy then you are a very lucky person. Most of my generation got married, bought a house and spent most of the rest of their life paying off the mortgage doing a job they didn't really enjoy. The job I have now is fantastic......it's called retirement. Unfortunately it doesn't pay well. Ha! All the best in your new job. Cheers!
Hey thanks for those kind words I completely understand what your saying life is to short to do something your not happy with. I hope you enjoy retirement and thanks for supporting the channel 👍
Congrats on the new job, I left my career in accounting 4 years ago age 40 to muck around with old cars & have never once looked back😁Excited to see what's next for the channel👍
Thanks buddy. Yes it’s been like that for some time now. But excited for the future now and working on things i truly love with a great company. Cheers ❤️
Well done matey! You really deserve this, i have been in the same position as you and i just had to get out and do something i loved so i started my own internet business and it pays the bills and never been happier…onward and upward mate!
Good for you, sounds like great news. Can’t think what the down side would be… but if it’s to do with us, your viewers, if you’re happy we’re happy… no bad new.
Cheers really appreciate the comment it’s always hard keeping everyone happy but if I come across in a good frame of mind that’s got to be a good start. Thanks for supporting the channel and let’s see what the future brings 👍
Thats great news marc! Thought the worst there 😅 Been down the same road work/life wise and did the same as you, went from computers and back on the tools building campers, best thing i did
Don't let your job or other interests (e.g. your YT channel) get in-between you and your family. Family. Comes. First. Always. Take from someone who's been there and lived to regret it. Invest in your family. It's the true path to happiness.
Congratulations on the job mate. As you say lifes too short and noone knows whats around the corner, so jump in and enjoy the ride. Its very time consuming doing the vids but i have always said while the enjoyment and fun is there the vids continue, when the fun stops the vids stop and sometimes life and family just need to take a priority
Thanks buddy I appreciate that. Yes loads of changes but happiness is the main key in life and enjoying what you do so watch this space it’s time for some good fun both on and off the channel.
Change is good!!! gotta admit bit jel of the job!!! ha ha its a dream to be able to do what you love, we work more than 70% of our lives so you have to love what your doing or what's the point! Im excited for you and for minimine, they wont regret taking you on as an employee for sure! Im buzzing for you man. Wish you and Mrs S all the best for the future!
Thanks dude massively appreciate your comment the future does look good now and I can’t wait to see what happens. Projects will keep flowing from Simpsons classics don’t worry. Thank you for the support as ever 👍
The last time we met I came away with the impression that you were pretty unhappy with your day job. I am very pleased to hear that you have a new position and that it is Mini related. I do buy some parts from Mini Mine but there are reasons why I am not a significant customer. Happy to elaborate if you are interested. I hope you manage to get some of your projects finished soon before you add any more cars to the mix. I am looking forward to what happens next.
Yes buddy things haven’t been right for some time now. I am sure we can look into this moving forward. Hopefully catch you soon. Yes the plan is to get some finished before things change a little. Loads to do 👍
Congratulations Marc! Onwards and upwards buddy! Q: the roof on your beautiful workshop is already partially clad, are there any plans for the landlord to complete it? (Much warmer for the winter)…
Sounds a dream job for you! Very well deserved. Happy for you!! I’m in a position where I’d need to take a good 60% pay cut for my dream job. At 30 with 3 kids I can I’ll afford to swap 😂
Thanks buddy I appreciate that. It’s not easy making decisions but I think it will be for the best for sure. Hopefully one day you can do that dream job.
That's fantastic news, Marc. I'm sure that you will love working for minimine. I've been following your channel for a few months and I already am hooked on it so if it's about to get better then that's just perfect. 😊
That’s great news Marc!!! Very pleased for you bud! I get it I’m in the same boat, It is tough going to a job you don’t enjoy, I love the channel and glad your making changes for the better 👍🏻 I have a question for a mid week trio I am looking at alternative power plants for Millie, I have considered a 1098 from a 67’ Vanden Plas but has a magic wand gearbox (I don’t want to cut a hole in the carpet and I enjoy Syncro to much 😂) Did the gearbox stud patterns stay the same all way through production? Could I swap to a remote or rod change box with ease?
Thanks Nick really appreciate that. The future definitely looks bright a lot of changes coming but it will be for the best. I will add your question in for the coming weeks cheers 👍
Yeah that's good news & the simple reason is less stress on your body. Now as a Brit living in Melbourne, Australia,can you give me info on the tax disc system ( in my younger days tax was 25 quid a year) l drove a HA viva , then a DAF 44 belt drive it had l forward & l reverse gear , l got it for 30 quid ( hint 2 new belts at the time 80 quid) & no l didn't buy them oh it was also air cooled 850cc engine. Sorry back to the question. Why has it changed so much Why the differences between prices on cars , l hope you can answer this tricky one Onward & upward Mr Simpson 😮😮😁😁😁😁
The tax system had changed a number of times over the years. I think it started as a general tax, went to engine size, then started to go off emissions and incuded if it was a 4x4. Now you get a higher tax if the price of the car new is over 40k. I think it will change again dramatically within the next few years but will have to wait and see on that.
Thanks Charles i appreciate that. Yes the tax system is a funny one isn’t it. But yes Matt had answered it very well below it’s changed a number of time over the years, and it’s something I am sure will keep changing with emissions and all sorts being a factor. Thanks for watching 👍
congratulations on the new job, not a lot of people put mental health as a priority, but its one of the most important things in life... glad to see your on your way
Thanks buddy. I agree people don’t put it first and I have fell victim to this lately. Onwards and upwards and we will keep pushing. Cheers for the support 👍
Can't beat happiness at work Marc, days fly by, I'm a restoration decorator and I have never regretted stepping away from a safe job to go on my own
Thanks buddy you sure can’t!

That’s great news Marc!!! Very pleased for you bud! I get it I’m in the same boat, It is tough going to a job you don’t enjoy, I love the channel and glad your making changes for the better 👍🏻
I have a question for a mid week trio
I am looking at alternative power plants for Millie, I have considered a 1098 from a 67’ Vanden Plas but has a magic wand gearbox (I don’t want to cut a hole in the carpet and I enjoy Syncro to much 😂) Did the gearbox stud patterns stay the same all way through production? Could I swap to a remote or rod change box with ease?
Thanks Nick really appreciate that. The future definitely looks bright a lot of changes coming but it will be for the best.
I will add your question in for the coming weeks cheers 👍
B230 engine swap for the 120 Nearly twice the horsepower same starter to 1984 Many Weber carb options
I would love to but I want to keep the original engine to the car and maybe modify it from there 👍
Good luck mate, mine will be done by the time you start. No sneak peaks at my car while it’s there 😂😂
Aha nice! I am sure it will be lovely. 😎
And ready for mini in the mountains
Yeah that's good news &
the simple reason is less
stress on your body.
Now as a Brit living in
Melbourne, Australia,can
you give me info on the tax
disc system ( in my younger
days tax was 25 quid a year)
l drove a HA viva , then a DAF
44 belt drive it had l forward & l reverse gear , l got it for
30 quid ( hint 2 new belts at
the time 80 quid) & no l didn't
buy them oh it was also air
cooled 850cc engine. Sorry
back to the question. Why has it changed so much
Why the differences between
prices on cars , l hope you can answer this tricky one
Onward & upward Mr Simpson 😮😮😁😁😁😁
The tax system had changed a number of times over the years. I think it started as a general tax, went to engine size, then started to go off emissions and incuded if it was a 4x4. Now you get a higher tax if the price of the car new is over 40k. I think it will change again dramatically within the next few years but will have to wait and see on that.
Thanks Charles i appreciate that. Yes the tax system is a funny one isn’t it. But yes Matt had answered it very well below it’s changed a number of time over the years, and it’s something I am sure will keep changing with emissions and all sorts being a factor. Thanks for watching 👍
Nice move on the career front, there’s nothing worse than being in a job you don’t enjoy doing.
Thanks I appreciate that onwards and upwards I guess 👍
what do you acually do for minimine now?
Various things across the business 👍
