    As usual, just the best content.
    I lived in France for 8 years and although officially you can’t modify cars/bikes the older French guys always seem to know a way around the bureaucracy. Watching this just makes me want to finish my build and go on a road trip. It’s just an amazing country and people.
    Can’t wait for the next episode.
    Thank you Brian for the effort and time. 👍

    Bri, mate... When I was a kid I grew up in Brixton in South East London, and there were places like this everywhere. There were MK2 Jags literally dumped on the street and we used to pass an abandoned Aston DB7 with flat tyres on our way to school in Angell Town behind the police station.
    There were three story town houses lying empty with enormous gardens and workshops, and guys had set up breakers and scrap yards all over the place with terrific, interesting and friendly people who all just got along and had a great life doing just that as they earned a living trading with each other, repairing and maintaining what they had instead of getting strapped up with everything on tick.
    I still cannot believe how quickly Pay and Display UK has become such a hostile, over-legislated, overpopulated, sterile and basically just fkn horrible place, full of bad tempered tailgating zombies and "safety" cameras.
    Anyway, ranting aside, your videos are distilled therapy for people like us, and proof we can escape the matrix if we really want to. I bough a place in SW France and the foundations are in, services are up to site and next year, we will start to build our new home with plenty of workshop and garage space for our old cars and bikes. The dream is becoming a reality and you and these lads are paving the way.
