Did i hear that correctly? The Lotus has a new chassis and a new body, yet they are still calling it a restoration. Seems a bit of a stretch. What's the cutoff point of restoration to replica built from parts?
The cutoff point is having the original VIN. There are many cars which were built from scratch, but as long as they have their original VIN and most ideal matching numbers between chassis and engine it will be a restoration. How do you think some of the most valuable cars which have several dozens years and were crashed, burnt, raced hard, rebuilt, etc. survived to this day and are in immaculate state? Most of the time it was only a chassis that survived, but as long as you have the number and are able to track its history it will still be a restoration. Everything is just spare parts and can be replaced.
In the UK, I believe you either have to keep the chassis or keep the engine (with keeping both being ideal) to keep it on the same registration. I think it's happened two or three times on "Car SOS" that they've had to completely scrap the car they were restoring because the engine was missing and the chassis was beyond repair, or both were beyond repair.
@laapulsford one of the original 3 left I know that, I think the father and son still work there but if u watched the show you'd know unfortunately the father was a bit too slow sometimes
Since they were talking about Liqui Moly at the time and Liqui Moly is a German company, I would guess, Waldemar is Drivetribe's contact at Liqui Moly...
Interesting that they are doing all this tat, it suggests they aren’t very busy. I have a Datsun 260z that needs a resto finishing and they weren’t interested.
wow debbie mcgees episode was months ago and looks like nothings been done to the car, no wonder the cog struggles at times no work ever gets done in the place
Have you ever worked on flood damaged cars? Every single computer module and plug will rust in no time, has to be disconnected and get cleaned or replaced. And good luck finding such things for old cars...
I haven't watched the episode, but garages like this do sometimes get back-burner customers who aren't rushing to get the cars back. Usually so they can save some money to pay the bill.
This could have very well been filmed months ago also. I cant imagine replacing an interior on an old Mercedes is an off the shelf job. And like the guy above me said, you can often get a cheaper price if you dont put a deadline on a repair. The shop works on it when they have off time from other projects, rather then prioritizing your car.
8:52 Pst, boxsters rubbish, the entire series of them have a built in self destruct sequence with the liners of the bore, the nickasill thing, same with the 911's that have the same thing, the only good one is the 993, and the 996 turbo, everything else is a coin flip if you get a good one or not, as the sad thing is, the best used porsche, is a Cayenne or a Macan Turbo
@@joelavery3235 the Americans and the Canadians are the only ones who say "aluminum". It takes about five seconds to look it up on Wikipedia, but here you go: "In 1812, British scientist Thomas Young wrote an anonymous review of Davy's book, in which he proposed the name "aluminium" instead of "aluminum", which he thought had a "less classical sound". This name persisted: although the "-um" spelling was occasionally used in Britain, the American scientific language used "-ium" from the start. Most scientists throughout the world used "-ium" in the 19th century; and it was entrenched in several other European languages, such as French, German, and Dutch. In 1828, an American lexicographer, Noah Webster, entered only the "aluminum" spelling in his "American Dictionary of the English Language". In the 1830s, the "-um" spelling gained usage in the United States; by the 1860s, it had become the more common spelling there outside science. In 1892, Hall used the "-um" spelling in his advertising handbill for his new electrolytic method of producing the metal, despite his constant use of the "-ium" spelling in all the patents he filed between 1886 and 1903. It is unknown whether this spelling was introduced by mistake or intentionally, but Hall preferred "aluminum" since its introduction because it resembled platinum, the name of a prestigious metal. By 1890, both spellings had been common in the United States, the "-ium" spelling being slightly more common; by 1895, the situation had reversed; by 1900, "aluminum" had become twice as common as "aluminium"; in the next decade, the "-um" spelling dominated American usage. In 1925, the American Chemical Society adopted this spelling. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) adopted "aluminium" as the standard international name for the element in 1990. In 1993, they recognized "aluminum" as an acceptable variant; the most recent 2005 edition of the IUPAC nomenclature of inorganic chemistry also acknowledges this spelling. IUPAC official publications use the "-ium" spelling as primary, and they list both where it is appropriate."
@@joelavery3235 it is true, however, that if we go purely by native English-speakers, "aluminum" is far more common, since there are many more native English-speakers in the USA and Canada than there are in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The language with the most native speakers is Mandarin Chinese, and they call it 铝 (Lǚ), while the language with second-most native speakers is Spanish. They call it "aluminio", so they still have "the extra i", as you put it. Fourth on the list is Hindi, and they call it अल्युमीनियम (alyumeeniyam), so they in essence still have "the extra i".
I think it is a huge mistake considering the original aims of the workshop to show working on a council pickup, and the mouthy chap is a bit of a Richard Cranium.
Richard should bring his show to RUclips, he'll get a ton of views
and prime video
@@AnthonymercerGamingHD Yep he is 100% on the wrong platform.... YT weekly vids would be fab
@@AlexChurchill-f8v think is like nobody uses discovery plus which the show is on so makes no sense to use that at all
It would be so awesome to be able to see the show here in the US.
Try using a vpn?
@@chrisrobinson-jones8677 I have tried one or two with no luck so far.
Wish I could watch Richard Hammond's Workshop in America.
You can
VPN should work for streaming it
There are lots of ways to watch here in the US.
@scottmclaughlin1410 Tried that with several. Doesn't work.
@bryanhumphries1972 Short of sailing the high seas, no, there isn't.
I like how Isaac has become very confident on camera over time.
Come one Isaac, best moment at the COG must have been when we drove by with out motorhome. Must be.
Still can’t believe they don’t stream this in America. How hard can it be? Also where are the father and son who started this?
Didn't even realise s4 of the show was out 😥I guess it gives me something to watch now though 🎉
Less of Isaac, getting a bit too big for his boots and talking over the others.
It’s annoying! To much of him talking
Would've been nice to hear from the new guy
I need that Xmas jumper!
Where are the original crew?
working on cars.
You've had Debbie's Mercedes since the end of last season. What's the normal time gap between seasons?
Jeez this was cringe. Struggling for content much. If I was Matty, I'd move back to his old job.

I think the cutoff point is whatever the owner decides.
Ferrari did this with Enzo's so they are allowed.
Certain Broom comes to mind n not the Boats...
So, the Lotus Europa is a bit like Triggers Broom!!!
Could this lot talk any more bollocks?!
0:11 The guy pushing merch refuses to push merch...
a quote from a earlier episode "Another day in the palace of fun"
Yeah drivetribe doesn't need the liquids anyway. They're a car channel that doesn't really work on cars. 😂
Issac has an element of Clarkson about him
Scruffy workshop for sure looks a nightmare to move cars around, Thought it did classic car rebuilds.
What happened to the farther and son team who set up this garage.
I was just about to ask the same
@laapulsford one of the original 3 left I know that, I think the father and son still work there but if u watched the show you'd know unfortunately the father was a bit too slow sometimes
@@topmandog1 It's more about him being a perfectionist
@aromaticsnail yeah I know but given they need to get work done and clearly are doing smaller normal jobs maybe he's just not working that day
According to the website they are all still there
what is the burnrate per year?
Crap that there was only 8 episodes in season 4
This workshop really has an issue with finishing cars in a reasonable time.
Quality work takes time, frame off restorations don't take 2 weeks like on Overhaulin' would lead you to believe.
Hi guys, who's Waldemar @4:56 ;) my pleasure Guys you'r THE Legends of DRIVE TRIBE
Since they were talking about Liqui Moly at the time and Liqui Moly is a German company, I would guess, Waldemar is Drivetribe's contact at Liqui Moly...
Surprised they didn't show the huge wall mural painted by Artwork by Andy.
More of matty not the young lad trying to be funny,
Trying being the operative word. 🤔
Love a Europa.
what happened to his Honda SS50?
You can’t say Debbie Magee without prefacing it with “the lovely”
She will like that,not a lot.
It seems more like an ordinary run of the mill garage now.
Nah. Not at all. It's Hammonds hobby.
little boy is very irritating , dont mess with a crafts mans tools , the lotus is like triggers broom , new head (chassis ) new handle (body )
Ahh good show is still running. Too bad no streaming platform has it in USA.
Interesting that they are doing all this tat, it suggests they aren’t very busy. I have a Datsun 260z that needs a resto finishing and they weren’t interested.
not that busy, but they've got 8 vehicles in for reparis that aren't part of the show. that's probably why they declined your project.
sour grapes
Tat? 😂
Where is James may his triumph stag ? He had a stag being restored here
In Hammond's storage barn.
Is there a way to get Merch in person? I’m visiting England in January, and would like to stop by.
Episode 2 were are you??
9:52 can we talk about the jug of “JIZER”
Jizer is amazing, great degreaser.
So what happens to Mindy’s half of the business?
very interested in the council van repair, quality
yeah, was peach, made the whole video for me
4:08 what is going in customer cars? 👀👀👀
New auto-dubbed language tracks? My system defaults to German, the first option in the list. Any way to prevent this?
Actual work is getting done 😂😂😂
4:30 - I see Viggo Venn works there!
Do you think his business makes a profit?
Why all the hate for the Scotsman ?
Are they making MONEY!?
So a possible hint toward a season 5, but no mention of the greenhouses / jamie / what richard is doing . .
The tall lad isn't as funny as he thinks he is !
I think he’s rather funny
Funnier than you, that’s for sure

@@pauliewalnuts240He literally said that they had an interior coming in from Germany, and given it's a 300, that's probably handmade.

👍
so, smallest cog lives off being a film location/subject and drivetribe (also owned by hammond) work. All the while being the shoe in for izzy...
Clicked on because of Richards name heard mike and turned off 😂😂
I want the backstory on the merc. That sounds wild
How long has that waterlogged Mercedes been there ??,2 Years ??.
What is the can of Jizer? Asking for a friend.
degreaser

Should have cut down to just one, “It’s mine, but nobody knows it’s mine.” In passing, it was a ‘meh’ joke, but really clunky when repeated
More drive tribe cars than customers cars 🤣 shouldn't it be the other way round 🤔

Fix Or Repair Daily, Found On Road Dead, what do these two phrases have in common?
That the person saying them is an idiot?
Last Europa off the production line it’s just had a naw body and chassis 😂 I would say it’s no longer that car
Lot of talking and not much working.
Who cares
Please.... learn how to say WHILE not hwile 🤦♂
