My Grandpa drove the Rolls all the way from North Devon to Newbury and back in 2012 to take me to the church on my wedding day ❤ Thank you so much for everything and especially for visiting my Grandpa in the hospice, I really thought we had some more time left with him, cancer is such a terrible disease 😔
That little car would be a great one for going behind the motor homes James....I watch your channel now rather than the telly because it's better...thank you for doing what you do with the content
Hello James, what a good video (as they all ways are!) and well done for having had a good "sales day" especially with the Rolls Royce - the family will be pleased that you have sold it for them! The journey in the little car was entertaining and quite fun!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire.
I am glad you sold 4 cars, you have some real quality cars. I am delighted that Antara finally went, surprised it didn't sell sooner. So glad the Rolls Royce went to someone who will look after it. Have a great week James.
That little car is what they usually tow behind a motorhome .Leaves the motorhome to be pitch up on holiday and you use the little car to do your sightseeing
Very pleased you had a productive Saturday, that justifies the sheer effort you put in. I've misgivings about RR man though...pumping brakes 30 times 2 throw a light/negotiate a discount....umm
Think you did well with the Rolls as retail sale may have involved endless comebacks and to sell at specialist auction houses you have a chunk of commission Thinking about the Rolls former keeper Adrian got me thinking how short life is & how good it is to do something you enjoy in your case spending time with & trading cars as opposed to spending your life in a job you hate but stay as you have a mortgage, you are a lucky fella James Great video 😊
I was told at college,that sold as seen is nothing,cos when you buy anything it is sold as seen ,however spares or repairs is the one to use for no comeback,
Ignition leads fail with age on the RR and can cause misfires (they can make a spectacular light show if you check them in the dark 😂. Not too hard to replace. If the brakes survive 10-15 pumps, they are still good enough.... More important that they have only had RR specific fluid in them...
I don’t know why many don’t like your driving videos. Joe ones seems popular. The Fiat test drive was good yesterday too. Hope you do more of them James.
Glad the Rolls shifted quick for Adrian’s family, hope it got what they wanted. Would have been interesting to see it go through the auction as well though. Maybe put the Fiat Barchetta instead?
Diesel RAV4, yikes, the only one I wouldn't buy, even Toyota dealers say not to bother. Very best of luck! My wife's RAV is similar age but petrol auto and flawless as an ownership experience.
Dont think theres any road vehicle you can drive with NO LICENSE in the UK. even 49cc moped needs a car license ...coz ins needed on the road...PS ins covers / full & learners
James not havin a go or actually its none of my business but just wished the roller had gone to someone different, did you tell the gentleman about adrian,is the buyer keeping the roller or just restoring to get top dolla
I was under that empression, i just thought the way james spoke he wanted it to go to that special person who would cherish it, but like i say none of my business just opinion
@ just stating a fact, you said “vinyl repair kit” and you are thinking about putting one over a hole on a leather seat, nothing Arsey there, just stated a fact, your very touchy for someone who puts himself in the public eye for a living, does somebody need a hug?
@MrCobblecraft lol 😂🤣 love it when I reply to comments Ike yours , which are clearly not pleasant, and get immediately accused of being touchy like 10yrs old arguing in playground 🤣 So if I call you a bodger at your job and you're just going to agree are you no arguement? You indeed seem kinda touchy for someone who is happy to go online making these kind of comments , thought you'd be able to cope with a similarly strong reply🤣
@ of course if I where to run my business in the eye of the public then I would have to take the criticism as well as the acolade, if you don’t want honest comments then turn off the comments, but don’t then try to defend what you said by deflecting it toward someone who simply made an honest observation, You said you where going to put vinyl over a hole on a leather seat, in your video, NOT me! I don’t see why you want to prolong this?
@MrCobblecraft honest observation 🤣🤣 give me a break , you just wanted to put something nasty to feel a little bit better about yourself 🤣 There is zero obligation to agree with anyone in the comments and I make a point of calling out those that can't be polite
Aixxam/microcar was the worst car I've ever owned, shit it's gearbox because they don't like being left in park on a sloping driveway, it's a thing apparently 😮 Driven both the petrol and diesel, you're better off on the bus, honestly 😅 For context, i love allegros 😊
@ChopsGarage only if it fits the AM category of no more than 350kg and a top speed of 28mph. Even the Citroen Ami is a no no in the UK as it's too heavy!
It didn't mate Im 16 with an aixam couple s. You need a full bike lisence for 500cc+ the aixam coupe s (400cc) can legally be driven on an am license. I've been driving it for 4 months, 7,000 miles so far😅. 80/90mpg.
@Oneway._asa and that should be no more than 28 mph and 350 kg which this one is clearly not! Also having an AM licence is still a licence so it's not possible to drive one with no licence at all! If your Aixam coupe s doesn't fit the regulations then it's not legal! All quite clearly stated on the gov.uk website. A guy in my road was driving one like Chops had on L plates with no supervision and he found out the consequences. Driving without appropriate licence , driving unsupervised and driving without insurance!
James i would not be surprised if the man who bought the rolls will be back like the moka man !! . 2 hours lookin at a car !! He will be back ! Another grey hair james!
Why do people come and waste yours and their time test driving a car when they are not ready to buy ffs,wow the Toyota steering wheel and seat are awful and at 8k I'd be wanting both changeing for new personally but I'm sure you'll sort them out,4 cars sold on a Saturday I'd say was a good day james especially for a sole trader💪💪👍
I know the Rav 4 is 11 years old but the state of the steering wheel is shocking. Still a really good car though and Toyotas always retain a good amount of money.
Add the Skoda (citigo) version of the UP to your list, it's great fun very reliable and economical. Lot cheaper than the UP for basically the same car.
@ChopsGarage No lol. I'm perfectly happy with a 09 2.2 td Accord, and a 09 fiat 500 pop for around town. It's cheap motoring and I hope to keep them both for longer.
How that work?for people who don’t have a license?that’s a pushbike.other wise it’s against the law.other things. Why RUclipsrs always have the camera pointed at themselves when driving a car they talk about…I like to see the view from driver seat….nice😊
My Grandpa drove the Rolls all the way from North Devon to Newbury and back in 2012 to take me to the church on my wedding day ❤

Hi Laura, thanks for watching and the comments!

Agreed
Second class ride is better than a first class walk!!! Cheers.

It would be ideal for that.

If you pump the servo down it will eventually throw a light - if one is fitted. Sounds like a tricky fecker.
Yeh agree does sound suspicious but I always expect the worst from ppl 😭 At least James got a quick sale as it might've hung around a while
Thanks!
Too kind mate
Glad that Antara finally went, I was amazed it hadn’t gone sooner.
Nice colour on that RAV 4..... I didn't think you'd have that Rolls long......
You're too honest to make a million selling cars 😂 Love your videos 😉
Glad you like them!
Arnold Clark made a £billion, that says it all !!

Hello from Ireland again, wow, a lovely busy day, for you, James. I Love that Micro Car lol. Keep it up, Yea mad thing, lol. 🙏🙏🥰👌👏👏👏👏👏👏
Really pleased for the sales, well deserved .
Ps we love watching your drivel james so keep doing what you do😂
Cheers lol
I was told at college,that sold as seen is nothing,cos when you buy anything it is sold as seen ,however spares or repairs is the one to use for no comeback,
It wants a Hyabusa engine in that little car 😊😊
‘Makes my 2CV feel planted’😂 There’s a sentence I never thought I’d hear
Lol
Ignition leads fail with age on the RR and can cause misfires (they can make a spectacular light show if you check them in the dark 😂. Not too hard to replace. If the brakes survive 10-15 pumps, they are still good enough.... More important that they have only had RR specific fluid in them...
I had issues with a MK4 Cortina. Couldn't work it out until we ran it in the dark. Light show up and down one of the ignition leads!
I don’t know why many don’t like your driving videos. Joe ones seems popular. The Fiat test drive was good yesterday too. Hope you do more of them James.
Happy New Year to you and yours James
Glad the Rolls shifted quick for Adrian’s family, hope it got what they wanted. Would have been interesting to see it go through the auction as well though. Maybe put the Fiat Barchetta instead?
Always smile watching your videos 😊
I'm so glad!
Funny I had a few book sales today, must be something in the air! Lol
Good to see you had a cracking weekends trading James:)
Cheers
I love that wee car 😊.
It's cool
Nice one, Chops 👍
Thanks 👍
The misfires on that rolls is fouled up plugs they all do it if they are not run up and used on short journeys
Beautiful car but sounds like a big money pit 😔
I would love that Roller.
Get a secondhand drivers seat and steering wheel for the Toyota if the rest is in good order. You will get your money back in the sale price.
Rolls of that age you would expect a bit of bounce in the suspension and 30 pumps on brakes is overkill
Suits you sir! 🫣🤣👍🏻
Two hours looking at a car. 😧 Are you sure he’s not dismantling it. 🤣
4 actually in the end
4 hours apparently
Some money from rolls going back to family
Only here for the drivel 😂
Diesel RAV4, yikes, the only one I wouldn't buy, even Toyota dealers say not to bother. Very best of luck! My wife's RAV is similar age but petrol auto and flawless as an ownership experience.
My 2014 RAV4, 2.2 been very reliable at 70,0000mls
@@colineccles6113 I can only tell you that when we were looking the main dealer said he would never retail a diesel RAV4.
Never retailed anything but diesel even old ones never issue
@@ChopsGarage Apart from that RAV4 with the seized engine? Was that a petrol, I forget now, was a while ago!
Another great video, thanks.

I think you need a full bike licence for it - not 'no licence'. Fun vid though :)
Dont think theres any road vehicle you can drive with NO LICENSE in the UK. even 49cc moped needs a car license ...coz ins needed on the road...PS ins covers / full & learners
Sounds like the rolls Royce will be going to a good home
4 Cars in One Day.....Sounds like a Beatles Song 🤣
Cant remember if its btoh power windows and central locking have tthermal restet fuses in fusebox bekow glove box,
Fun little car its brilliant
Our 14 plate zafira had mot Saturday, passed no advisories, result.
Very enjoyable mate
Is royston on holiday? Always enjoy his comments on these vids.
Yes noticed this too. Perhaps he gave up on me
I don’t actually think his name is Royston , I think he is from Royston , it’s a place in Barnsley or Hertfordshire .
@@ianrobinson68 haha yeah it's Royston garages. He's still active on RUclips, posting cars for sale. But I still like to call him Royston.
James not havin a go or actually its none of my business but just wished the roller had gone to someone different, did you tell the gentleman about adrian,is the buyer keeping the roller or just restoring to get top dolla
The buyers a dealer...£ ,s
I was under that empression, i just thought the way james spoke he wanted it to go to that special person who would cherish it, but like i say none of my business just opinion
is it sad that i remember reg numbers and remember selling the Antara back in the day from a main dealer!!?
Really, not sad at all, cool you remember it
There needs to be more little lightweight cars on the road, a perfect urban commuter
I love it when u say “vinyl repair kit” after stating it’s a leather interior! Why not say you’re gonna bodge it up?
I love it when someone like you come on and comment. Why not just say your going to be an arse?

Reckon that Axiam is less safe than the infamous titanic submersible.
Mmm rollers I got told off for testing one as of the weight as they should be class 7 not class 4 lol

Im surprised there was not a HubNut that took that Antara off your hands
2.2 dual mass problems grr.
Kindest regards🇨🇦🇨🇦
That little 500cc plastic skate. Did you say you don’t need a full driving licence? What is it, a moped?
Lovely car that rolls but you need money 💰 to run them
You cant drive that axiam without a licence! That changed years ago!
You can drive without a car licence but full bike
@ChopsGarage only if it fits the AM category of no more than 350kg and a top speed of 28mph. Even the Citroen Ami is a no no in the UK as it's too heavy!

And I'm from Torrington way
James i would not be surprised if the man who bought the rolls will be back like the moka man !! . 2 hours lookin at a car !! He will be back ! Another grey hair james!
4 hours In total apparently
Hopefully not
That Toyota has a lot of seat wear for 89k Chops?
Not really see it a lot on leather bolsters
Probably a large owner with hands like sandpaper or lots of jewellery!
Why do people come and waste yours and their time test driving a car when they are not ready to buy ffs,wow the Toyota steering wheel and seat are awful and at 8k I'd be wanting both changeing for new personally but I'm sure you'll sort them out,4 cars sold on a Saturday I'd say was a good day james especially for a sole trader💪💪👍

Hi James, VW UP v HYUNDAI i10? What’s the best in your opinion? If Hyundai, which model? Thank you. PS love the channel ❤
I10 buddy!
@ Thank you
Add the Skoda (citigo) version of the UP to your list, it's great fun very reliable and economical. Lot cheaper than the UP for basically the same car.
So it turns out the central locking was not working , as if you didnt know .
Well I did not, that's why I said in the video, .....it did not.
Well worn tatty Rav4 with a tow hook.
I think I'll give that a miss, thanks.
Were you shopping for one?
@ChopsGarage No lol.
I'm perfectly happy with a 09 2.2 td Accord, and a 09 fiat 500 pop for around town.
It's cheap motoring and I hope to keep them both for longer.
Actually the tow bar is handy and the cost of a clutch give or take depends how you look at things
@@gar6446 oh misunderstood your comment
