The non-timelapse timelapse was a fun feature, I enjoyed that! 😄 Merry Christmas guys!
At least there was no swearing on the non-timelapse. lol
Classic!, just as well we put that timelapse on....love it!!!....
What I learnt from that Timelapse fail was that when we see you guys on camera that’s exactly how you are off camera and that genuine-ness is what makes everything you do so watchable. Thanks for all the awesome content
Always admire how politely they speak to each other.
I bought 2 tickets in the draw, not because I wanted the car but as a way of making a small token of appreciation for a year's entertainment. Well done guys, have a great Christmas.
The last job I had as a Police Officer with Essex Police when they medically retired me was to collect a new Focus diesel estate (in May 2000) from Chelmsford and take it back to Southend. It was such a lovely car to drive, that we ordered one for my wife. Fully loaded as we were lucky enough to have a Ford ticket from my Grandfather. It took several months to arrive being a special build. Six months later, I bought one for myself too, but a hatchback. Again, fully loaded, plus a sunroof. The dealer called it the 'Christmas tree's as it had everything on it. Both superb cars that never let us down. I've been a fan of them ever since. Would love the Tangerine Scream!
Nice job. Have loved the work that you have done throughout the year. Thanks for the entertainment. Happy Christmas to you and your families.
Good job we're on time lapse says Chris. Interesting to hear the behind the scenes conversations!!
Love the way Rob practices his jokes on timelapse, (maybe not :-))and Chris has a knowledge of Tony Blackburn dad jokes. Fantastic watch. Happy Xmas guys.
Rob’s joke was at a similar level to Chris’s tbf 😂
Can't believe that was written off for that minor damage! Easy fix!
Back in the old days, many blokes would have done repairs like that, out on the driveway, on a Sunday morning, after a quick visit to the local scrap yard!
You can sell the old doors for parts or repair too!
Mine was written off for less than that. Cars value 10k, cost me £300 for 2 doors in colour and job done. Where they (insurance) get their numbers from I don’t know.
@@Dalbayob69 pretty sure its new parts from dealer and it adds up.
Throw in a rental car and it soon adds up 🤔
@@piovo5222 repair needs to be more than 70 or 80 percent of cars value for them to write it off. No way it would cost £7-8k just for 2 doors but hire car was £345 per day. Took them 11 days to do estimate and bodyshop said it will be atleast 2 months before they can fix it. So I think it was written off purely due to cost of hire car because bodyshop is so busy. Lad who picked car up said they have over 200 cars in yard and some been there for over 6 months waiting on parts.
@@piovo5222 Exactly plus £100 per hour labour, easy rack up several thousand pounds.
When you think it’s on Timelapse 😂
I quite like it though, shoes Chris and Rob in their element
🤦🏻♂️ we thought it’s a extra 7 minutes and I’m sure no one will mind
@@sruk was just coming to say incase it was a mistake - those platform shoes did come in handy then 😆
@@sruk I'm pretty sure you could put an hour video up and it would be awesome 👍
Another cracking acquisition guys,and all replacement body components in exactly the same color match,how good can that be!!.That car will sell like a hot cake.
What a little gem.
Madness to be written off for a tiny bit of damage like that, but it does mount up.
Happy Christmas you two.
That colour could be like the one near me it's an estate in a pearl finish good luck if he needs to match it in future
given the insurance will be based on using new panels and paint... that would outweigh the value of the car... so it's nice to get used parts for a decent price
Totally agree written off for nothing really
Was a fella up in my local magistrates court last week for shoplifting, he was stealing Calendars, the old Judge had a sense of humour and gave the fella 12 months.
Cheers again chaps and hope you both have a nice Christmas, also all the best for 2024
And that’s why I bought the ticket, the entertainment value that you guys give is worth the £9.99. Another fantastic video, keep them coming, can’t wait for the next one 👍🏻
One of my favourite channels..... been watching it for well over a year now. Each episode watched with a cup of coffee and my breakfast. The funny thing is I don’t live in the UK and I no longer have much interest in cars at all...... such is the quality of your channel, well done guys 😊. I’m originally an Essex boy, my brother actually lives close to you in Kent.... but thanks for providing such entertaining and watchable content, Merry Christmas to you both and looking forward to 2024 😊.
Loved the candid camera section!
Lovely car - I bet the original owner gets in contact to buy it back. If it were me, I would!
even with the bloopers it still makes great content
"platform shoes"...lol, brilliant!
Hi Rob, the worst part of this video was your joke!
Nonetheless, a smashing and enjoyable watch, as usual. HAPPY CHRISTMAS LADS.
I say ditch the time-lapse if it's the 2 of you...was soooooooo funny listening to you guys naturally interacting 😊
Happy Christmas guys xxxx
The faster you turn them round, the faster the cash rolls in. If only every day was as good as this. Thanks for 2023 videos guys, it's been a cracker.
Merry Christmas to you both and your families, and a very happy and prosperous 2024 to you and all who follow the best channel...SRUK. Cheers, Bob
As a panel beater and paint sprayer for 25years in chalfont st Peter loved it but due to recent health issues out of the game for now top job you on every vehicle pure professional work top quality control.jig work panel work paint and fitting up to finished job second to none good on you lads hard graft keep going.any cheap challange cars going how does it work need one let me know please if you can reply
Fantastic car for not a lot of money. It will do someone proud. Great work keep it up 👍🏼
That was a fairly straightforward repair for you.
You both deserve an easy one after all the hard work you both put into other repairs.
Great video, seasons greetings to you both ❤.
Rob: "I'm going to take it down McDonald's"! 🤣 Someone's looked after that car. I bet they were gutted when it was written off. Such a straightforward repair if you know what you're doing. Good result.
Chris, have you seen the guy on RUclips called My Mechanics? He’s doing up an old Datsun 240Z. What an engineer ! The car will be far better than factory when he’s finished. A craftsman like yourself will definitely appreciate this chap’s expertise, he’s not doing it commercially though and has the patience of a saint!
Love that colour, car looks great inside as well. Good job boys, Nice earner.
There is a tool for removing & tightening the inner tie rod. It clamps onto the round outside of the inner and has a square socket drive to tighten or loosen, much easier then grips.
We find it much harder or we would have used it
These one day turn around videos is like a Christmas countdown mate
That bit of not time lapse is brilliant.
Nice to see you cracking on with a bit of banter whilst you thought no one was listening.
Happy Christmas Rob and Chris...I love your channel and content...2 smashing blokes....
you 2 are legends... no bs and straight up... love it
that is some ones dream car for a massive discount....love your vids and love you both.....merry christmas rob and chris.....keep up the good work so i dont have to pay a tv license to watch crap
They are MK2 ST wheels you have bought, that are very similar but the MK3 wheels have a profile on the spokes and the offset of different and tyre size is different,the wheel nuts are different,and now the car needs tracking again, whoops 🤣
I’m gonna race everyone around Mc Donald’s in it 😂😅
Tangerine Scream!! Incase no one else commented it. Someone’s done a big upgrade on that having the touch screen stereo fitted! Shouldn’t have that until 64 plate facelift but it’s the later system that didn’t come out till 2016-2017 too! Lovely that mate
I'm surprised that it was in an accident given the, Seen from Space Colour. 😂
One of the best colours, triple metallic and pearlescent yellow/orange (tangerine)
Do I spot a ministry of sound CD on the seat at 10:51 ?
Trance? Someone has good taste in music 🤣🤣
Yes that colour pops, one of the best Ford colours ever I think. Another one turned around in quick time once again. Well done to you both for getting it done even with the rain. I will wish you a Merry Christmas Rob and Chris. Thank you for the great videos throughout the year, they have been entertaining, interesting and informative. 🧑🎄👍👍
Obviously someone's pride and joy that Ford Focus, and it's absolutely criminal that car has been written off. I remember when a 10 year old car really did look dated, but Ford has done a great job on the Focus over the years.
Thanks for super videos you have put out during this year. Wishing you both a Very Happy Christmas , have a well deserved break and All the Best for 2024 .
Thanks for posting this video. Gave me a nice relaxing last video of the day to view on a rainy SoCal evening.
Such a brilliant result!! Thanks for another cracking vid lads, we all enjoy watching.
7:31 That Been thread lock too long... love it
"Good job we're on time-lapse' 😂😂😂
Hi Rob & Chris, a shout out from down under Australia, followed you guys all year and enjoyed every minute! Such a refreshing down to earth pair of blokes entertaining your followers with skills and banter! Have a great Xmas and look forward to more of the same in 2024. Regards Keith
Yep great to have some Aussies on . I’m back to Oz for new year an Oz summer.
Great turnaround again lads. Good buy at a good price even after the buying fees lol 😂
Guys youse are smashing this out the park
Fantastic work
are you going to get the gearbox refurbed in the recovery truck? or are we going to see a new Salvage rebuilds recovery truck?
Thought Santa was supposed to be bringing Chris some new gloves for Xmas?! 😂
What a stonking bargain for £6k!! Someone will be getting a superb car for that money.
What a result .A one day turnaround and a decent profit .Well done Rob and Chris .That's the way to do it .👍🏻
I see you got your trainers in colour Rob.😂. Nice car brilliant vlog.💛
Great video rob. Just one thing I have the same wheels on my focus but the new wheels you got are different from the ones on the back of the car. They had 2 types of wheels in that shape but both slightly different.
They had 3 different types, Mk2 pre facelift, Mk2 facelift and the Mk3
Excellent turn around as usual :) Its crazy to think the insurance would write off a 9K car with what little it actually cost to put it back right with ease. This is why i love to watch them been repaired and put back into good use :)
Being repaired
TANGERINE SCREAM rob , i bought the last one from ya lol ... its been a fantastic car - cheers Lee
nice one chaps 'can you reach that?'😆😆
Don't time-lapse anything just leave the mics on, absolute gold❤
You two are like the Kent dynamic duo lol :)
In case I miss any videos, merry Christmas to both of you and your significant others :)
Isn't it lucky that you are good with cars as the new profession is not going so well.
Nice flip…..lucky finding the doors and wing in colour,guess it’s who you know👍👍
6k for an ST in that shape is a bloody bargain, I'd be interested at that price. As I'm sure a lot of people would be.
Very cheap price
Nice to hear that the amicable verbal banter goes on even when they believe their voices aren't being recorded, (reminds me of the old 'minder' series,)
Lovely not to hear bad language.
All the best for Christmas and the new year, and many thanks for all this year's videos.
From Feilding NZ.
Next video, how to do a gearbox fix on a recovery truck 😛
Whoever has owned that car has looked after it. Not a fan of the black wheels but upgrading to car play and some other little touches, you can tell this was someone’s pride and joy.
Tangerine scream
Guy’s a great Christmas video on the ford.❤
Go silver on wheels ❤
The Dynamic Duo strike again, AWESOME WORK Gents
Quick turnaround for you nice before Xmas
As for the comedy 🤔Tony Blackburn said it all 🫣
I’m a lot older than Chris but I grew up listening to Tony Blackburn and the rest of the 1970s DJs. He is a DJ god. 👍
Such a feel good channel. I love how you guys do business. Very straight forward blokes. Merry Christmas!
Well done guys but those wheels you bought are the wrong ones they are slightly different they are off the older model but keep up the good work love the content 👍
Great video, excellent turn around. The only thing is Rob those trousers..
happy Christmas guys , thank you for all the time you have put in this year to turn out content , always an enjoyable watch , rob will be armed with a stack of Christmas cracker jokes for the new year , all the best for 2024 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Fantastic! What a Christmas present, two quick turn around videos in quick succession. I can't believe how lucky you've been on the parts, especially the colour match. Top work. 👍
another top job guys we need people like you in all garages in britain it would be a good place to get your car fixed without getting ripped off keep up the good work
You forgot the drum stick in the numbers lads.. come on now.. lol! Great little car for someone and another great video. Have a lovely Xmas!
Second time I’ve mentioned this in 2 videos - The best profit is made in the buying….well done 👍
Love the rubbish jokes and even funnier that you both thought you were on time-lapse. Brilliant guys and Merry Christmas.
Top work guys. Think that might be mk2 st wheels uv stuck on the front, different width and slightly different style. Difficult to catch on camera, only matters if ur fussed 👍keep up the good work
The content when you thought you were on Timelapse is gold. You two nattering. 😊
Rob I think you need to get Chris some new gloves for Christmas. I think they have been a pair of gloves for to long. Merry Christmas to you both.
Theres a white one st focus 2010 ,,two thousand miles for sale ,,end of our street £51,000😮
What's the saying rob? WHAT A lovely little peach !!! Well done guys dosnt happen often getting one finished in one video!!
THANYOU GUYS FOR SUCH A FANTASTIC YEAR !!!
Another great video Rob and Chris. I spotted the wheels too as soon as you opened your van door, they are mk2 facelift wheels, if you look closely at the spoke shape they are different to the mk3.
Great video,colour is tangerine scream,3 stage pearl which is not to bad to do 😂
so I had a go and buying and repairing a car myself... it did end up being a bigger job than i thought, and getting parts took longer than it should have so i had the car too long which essentially took any profit away. but actually doing the work myself was easy enough, and if i was keeping the car for myself it would have been a really cheap one. i absolutely plan on doing it again
Not sure how far away he is from where you are Rob but have you thought of getting a smart repair done this looks like it could be a good job to try that out on. Grants smart repairs is a good youtube channel and i think he is down by you somewhere, could be worth getting another youtuber on the channel for your small jobs like this.
Been mentioned before, they won't pay his prices
What a cracking car, I gotta admit I'd have been gutted if that was mine and insurance had written it off. To be honest I would have bought it back off insurance myself if given the chance.
Liked the ‘Timelapse’ nice banter between you, have a great Christmas, looking forward to more vids in 24 👍
Nice video lads. Merry xmas. Glad you’ve eventually bought some boots rob
Absolutely love the st fords thank you guys for your awesome content as always 👌👌👌
Another nice little fix..... merry Christmas guys 🎉
Lads you make it so easy.F...k the plumbing game I 'm having a think about being a 60year old apprentice.😢
Best timelapse ever that, was half expecting to overhear a conversation of you two expressing how much you love each other but got a few bonus jokes instead 🤣🤣!!
In the next one!!
All the best to you guys and your families. Great turn around that one.. 👍🏼
Nice Purchase Guys. I Want to Wish you Both A Very Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year toYou and the the Family, Had a Mild Stroke 6wks ago. Left handed so power gone ish all due to Stress. And trying to Clear my Car From British Plates to Irish Plates Nighmare, But Done Now not cheap but Who Cares. Irish Govt rules have changed, Wont let you clear a car under 2014?, Emissipn Rubbish. My Car Lucky enough was a 2016. So no more Copart Buys for a while. Hope you have a Great Break and spend quality time with the ONES you love. Darren, Cavan. Iireland.
Great video, I had a 2015 ST in that colour brilliant car, my son and I are on our second Copart car that we do on our driveway you’re videos are an inspiration, thanks 👍
I’m glad rob didn’t put that on a time-lapse it’s funny to hear used to working. Keep up the good work.
Lol at the non Timelapse bit. 😂. Don’t mention the discovery sport.
I think its a full fat discovery, not a sport.
Nice example of a car that a lot of people could probably repair on their drive although not as quickly as you guys! Great turnaround on this one and nice profit - Happy Christmas.
I think the phrase is "we've had a touch there". Just the ticket for a trip down Maccy's Rob, just remember your baseball cap back to front, hold the steering wheel at ten to two with your right hand and lean over the handbrake area with your upper body. You'll fit right in.
