    Some say that hoarding is a sickness, but when we say "It'll be useful someday", we mean it... :P

    Love to see a man fix/repair rather than replace. An old trait not seen much these days. Cheers Al

    i like to think of it in the "eco" way.. as mr hammond points out is it better for the world that we remake the entire global fleet at a million year carbon footprint, or restore old cars and vans thus drasticlly reducing our effect on global whatever you want to call it... as usual another great vlog al.... enjoy these hughly..

    I can attest to the strength of the front of a sprinter as previously mentioned lol. This time it was lorry driver driving into me at 64mph according to his tacho. My tracker said I was doing 26mph . A fair old whack ! Another good video Al 😊😊

    Loving this, the damage caused by a blocked drain is substantial. Really find it interesting how you look at repairs and how to solve issues such as this.

      At the school I went to, I just wish the class fekwits had allowed me to listen.....😢 although it has to be said, I derive some comfort from knowing that most of them went onto stellar careers in the local brewery bottle washing plant😂
