It was my company car, and it was a real pleasure to be able to meet Rob at Stafford on Monday evening. Accidents happen, and thankfully, no one was injured apart from pride.
It will be as good as new in a few days and will be an absolute bargain for someone to buy. Lumbar support on the drivers seat, heated front seats, full main dealer service history, all recalls done. Thanks for being so complementary to me and Clare Rob.
You're a gent 👍
There should be more Ian Simms in this world, a genuine top bloke, an what a lovely car, looks mint, I hope to buy it, when it pops up on Instagram..
Rob and Chris you had a little knock and you sorted it and you won’t be out of pocket ! So as the old saying goes s### happens
Such a nice guy
i always love watching these guys , be awsome to meet them one day , iv learnt alot about car issues and repairs , thank u robb and chris .. awsome work
Hi Rob & Chris, A friend of mine started a new job as a lorry driver recently on his first trip out the boss rang him to see how things we’re going and he told the boss he had damaged the door mirror, so the boss said not to worry accident’s happen and asked how he broke the mirror.
So the driver told him it broke when the lorry rolled over 😂🤫🤐🤭
Happy Christmas guys
If there were no accidents Rob, you’d be out of business! Glad you included the accident, just a reminder how honest and decent you guys are 👍
Now that is true... I hadn't thought of that before
Back in 1973 I was 19 and working at my dad's petrol station/garage in Putney he let me collect my mum's brand new Triumph Herald convertible from the steroe radio installers in the King's Road Chelsea about 10 minutes drive away. The car had done about 15 miles, and my mum hadn't even seen it as it was a present for her. I collected the car and pulled out into a completely clear road (or so I thought) only to have a fully laden dump truck of earth and rocks drive over the front of the car. It completely flattened the bonnet, engine, wheels, the whole front half of the car, the Herald was a complete write-off and I also did £3,500 damage to the lorry....oops, at least no-one hurt, except my pride and I didn't live it down for many years. These things happen it's part of life.
Rob. The man who never made a mistake, never made anything. Love the videos. 👍
Made a dam good job of the wall. Might ask you to come knock mine down in the new year…. Bring the beemer 😂😂
Never fixed anything either 🤣
That's exactly what my mum used to tell us 👍 no harm done and the ugly wall dealt with 😄
@@craig5820 what a daft thing to say
@@sruk I think he was just saying you can’t fix things without making mistakes as well. Why was it daft
I admire your honesty, Rob, and once again, Chris shows us the true gentleman he is. You make a great team, so keep up the great work and videos.
I always call them the dream team, great mates, and work brilliant together. A top combination.
@@andynightingale7335 exactly, and people you would trust to buy from as their work is excellent and nothing is left to chance.
We all felt your pain Rob, we’ve all done something similar and felt terrible about it, ultimately it’ll fixed and sold, no harm done. It’s brilliant to be so open and honest about it!
These things happen Rob, fair play for showing it. You & Chris are honest guys & this what makes the channel so good 👍
Rob, it's hard to even imagine how awful you felt when that happened. However, the way in which you are approaching this with Chris is a testament to your relationship, and partnership. It's an unfortunate mistake. I'm sure you are grateful that you are surrounded by such good friends and partners that make things like this more bearable.
It really is a nice car!
We’ve all done something similar Rob. Well done for putting the footage up👍.
Sorry to hear that, but it’s not as bad as I expected . Very bad weather condition . Just put it down to experience .
Could have cried for you Rob but you give us that million dollar smile and Chris was the top man his comes across as and understands it’s an accident/mistake and its all good.
You two make your vids real for so many people, keep in your mistakes and honesty and we all like you both more for it 👍
Well it is almost Christmas. So instead of a pantomime you gave us Salvage Rebuilds on ice. A great heart warming festive episode. Thanks for keeping us entertained. Happy Christmas from Greece. Καλές γιορτές με υγεία και αγάπη
This type of video is exactly why we all enjoy watching the channel. Honesty, humour and a positive attitude ! Pleased youre both going to see a few quid back lads!
Felt proper bad for you Rob but loved Chris saying ‘you couldn’t have hit it in a better place’ 😂😂👍
Hey Rob, dont beat yourself up over this, you and Chris are 100% good guys. To make an error is human, youve proved youre human. Hindsight is 20:20 vision.
Brilliant channel, lovely people, keep up the good work.
Chris: "I'm a bit nervous about buying a straight car."
Rob: "Yeah. I know, I'm bricking it."
Sorry mate. Couldn't resist.
I can only imagine how gutted you must have felt but you have a policy about being open and honest and the comments I've read reflect that.
A great team who support each other. That alone is like gold these days. Stupid accidents happen.
👍👍
Total respect for always being so genuine and honest. Even when it’s a little embarrassing. World would be a boring place if everything was perfect mate.
Feel for you Rob, it's an accident and can happen to anyone. Good luck fixing it matey.
Can’t really happen to people with backup cameras or park distance control
You boys are two hard on yourselves. You’re a proper solid team and the positivity you both have is infectious
The comment you made about not having the heart to tell the bricklayer to stop work cause you didnt like it is excatly why you are such a genuine person m8
We’ve all done something similar over the years. Respect to you and Chris for putting up the footage.
What a top bloke Ian is for offering you the car and then delivering it to you to help out. As others have said stuff happens but somebody will be getting a cracker of a car
Chris' face when he's stood by your wall! Bad luck , Rob. You got all the way back from Staffs in the crappy weather and then stacked it on your doorstep.
As the painter Bob Ross said - There are no mistakes, just happy accidents. I don't see any problem with upgrading your 218d to a M240i and to remove a wall you didn't want in the process. Number the bricks, make a metal plaque, date the event & mount on a good piece of wood. Price them at £25 each and donate the proceeds to Demelza. I would definitely buy one !
Things like this happen all over the world Rob, you did the right thing, smile and get on with it. We have all been there, so, good luck and blessins to you both.
Could have have happened to anyone Rob so don't fret. Great to see the way you and Chris dealt with it. Such positivity and honesty! What a great friendship you guys have.
Rob either got too comfortable as a typical BMW driver and didn't check the mirrors or was so fed up with the wall he wanted shut there and then, don't believe all this accidents happen rubbish!
Just kidding, this is a perfect example of why we love the channel. You're honest and put in the mishaps too, it's awesome to see you do well and win on everything when it all goes smoothly but it can't work like that 100% of the time.
I live on a bit of a hill and always have 25kg or so grit to chuck about the drive/pavement outside when it gets a bit icy, a pain in the arse walking bits in the house but stops things like this or slipping over on foot.
Looks much better with the spoiler on the back someone's gonna have a lovely motor there that's been well loved.
Yes, you could have parked the car on the road and someone driving along loses control on the ice and scratches down the entire side and drives off. Instead of £400 it is £2k of damage. SH!T like this happens, no one was hurt and you can have a laugh, that is all that really counts. Your honesty is why we love the channel and you guys. Have a waffle and continue on!!!
These things happen, great to see Chris taking it so well & good to see you both smiling about it in the end. At least you've saved on demolition costs for the wall. All the best chaps 👍🏻
I think we can all respect the honesty and positive attitude there, if only more people were like that :)
It's the time of the year for goodwill and you both have an abundance of it. What an uplifting tale, ironically. Good luck with the sale.
No stick Rob, this channel is built on honesty and it would have been worse to leave it out mate. Life happens, you bend em, you mend em.
We have all been there! Glad you uploaded this one - what a legend Chris is and he is so right you guys are a team!
At least you can laugh about it now Rob
It’s sickening when something like that happens at least no one was injured, keep the videos coming guys fabulous to watch.
Hi Rob and Chris, I worked for a Manchester based Company for 20 years and was supplied with 5 series BMWs I averaged 70k per year and the cars lasted me circa 15 month as Lex wanted them on the block before 90k, like the one you have bought I cleaned all my cars ever week and kept them mint condition, I could average circa 55k on tyres and an average 57 mpg (Diesel).It is good to see the car you bought has been looked after untill you broke it,but I am sure it will be right,love the show,good luck for the future
It's unfortunate what happened with the car but to be honest I'm glad you're okay and that it wasn't worse than that. Honestly, Chris is a good friend and he is the type of friend you keep for life because he was very understanding and supporting, which is exactly what you needed. As they say to error is human and to have people who acknowledge that is a blessing, continue being good to each other. PS I'm a huge fan of your work.😊🙌
Absolutely gutted for you. I've been driving over 25+ years and nothing. Last week in front of my boss who was helping me reverse my van out of the roller shutter I hit the steel upright. I felt gutted. Something I've done countless times since the van was new. But as my boss and Chris have both said. Accidents happen. And nobody was hurt which is the important thing. Keep up the good work.
Accidents, happen Rob, proof what a great team yourself and Chris make. Fantastic content as always.
Have a great Xmas both, have a cracking new year .
Rob. We’ve all been there. I had a brand new car 2 years ago, I have a sloped driveway and it had snowed. I sensibly parked it at the top of the drive…2 hours later the car (on its own) slid down the drive and thumped through my gates….it happens! Keep going!
Rob these things happen . No one got hurt just a bit of pride and a wall you didn't like , & a boot lid , The car will get fixed the wall will get rebuilt , but the main thing is your still here to tell us about it , & that is what matters . Looking forward to next video guys . Keep em coming ....
That had definetly been a wall too long Rob 🤣
thats what i love about you guys, honest friendly people who are not afraid to show when things go wrong., great channel guys
Gutted for you Rob. On a lighter note.
Does that mean BMW now stands for Break My Wall. Thanks for all the content you both put out.
Guys, great video and appreciate the honesty! If it makes you feel any better, I used to work for a Ford Main dealer back in the 1980's. We had a transporter deliver 6 brand new Y Reg Sierras for our Sierra Launch night. As they were unloaded off the transporter, we had to take them round the back of the workshops for a PDI before we put them in the showroom. I jumped in a 2.0Ghia in Diamond White, and thought what a fabulous car. Stuck it in reverse, straight back into the Car Rental Reception door and knocked it off its hinges! It can happen to anyone! :-(
We've all done it mate, nobody was hurt, just your pride has taken a small knock. Great content guys and like others are saying, respect for leaving it in.
It's a horrible feeling when you are just sliding on snow and ice and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it except wait to see what happens. Gutted for you both but that's life, it happens to the best. Chris is such a gent too. At least you'll make a little bit of profit out of it. Great content as usual guys, keep it up 👍
Rob, I had a heart attack 10 days ago and while recuperating could not get enough reception to get my salvage fix. I'm in now and this is the first video that came up..I cant stop laughing as you tell the dastardly tale. It's a story you can tell over the years but dont beat yourself up about it..keepthe vids coming you two
BMW - Bloody Masonry Wall "who put that there!" Lads your reaction to it is great and as you know people are suffering far worse at the moment. Nobody was hurt apart from Rob's pride. Onwards and upwards. Love the videos and love you two for being the people you are.
It happens Rob. You’ve also sent out a reminder to all rear wheel drive car owners that winter presents additional risks…winter tyres prep worth considering for some owners too. Glad you werent hurt though, That really would have been bad news
I can see you are obviously gutted Rob but the important thing is no one's been injured and the wall can be rebuilt as you want it this time. Thank you to you and Chris for all the videos, have a good Christmas and all the best for 2023 boys.
1989, pulled out of the driveway in my Mk1 escort, slid on the ice and😮 went into my work van, mk 2 transit lwb high roof twin axel. Chucked into reverse and went back into my parents Passat. 3 damaged in less than a minute. I think I win. Don’t sweat Rob. And just to put it out there somewhere Peter Stevens 13.10.40 - 15.12.22.
❤️
".............it now does come with a spoiler" - love it, we've all been there Sir, it's just life chucking a curve ball !
Great video again lads, this video proves 1 thing!
Chris & Rob are a honest bunch of lads, Keep up the great work and merry Christmas.
Respect for showing all the details of the wall encounter. Glad you are okay.
Rob and Chris are the most honest car repair people on this planet Rob has mentioned many a time dodgy garage repair to some of the vehicles the bought
Magic! Rob, I know just how feel. Just had a guy park his Vito van on my drive while he picked up one of my drum kits. He parked right by house, just inches away from the wall. We then had a great chat about cars and motorbikes we had over the years. Went to load the drum kit and we discovered the van had moved 5 feet down the drive. He had parked on crusty snow. Luckily it slid slowly, not so dramatic as yours but what a lesson. You and Chris, what a team!
One of the best things about you guys is your honesty. Incidentally, I’ve learned more over the last few years about cars from your channel than anywhere else. You’re superb 😊
I’ll bet you bricked it when it started sliding back Rob? Nice to see Chris didn’t take it bad - a nice cemented working relationship …
Sh, It happens! leave the lambo at home until the snow is gone tho😄
Accidents happen mate. Proves how good of a relationship you and Chris have. I drove into the corner of my house at about 15mph. Changed the brakes forgot to pump the pedal and started in gear. In a rush to the M.O.T 😂
Rob, it's a car and can be easily repaired, think most of us that watch your videos are just glad you're safe and well and haven't damaged yourself!! ....And who better than your good selves to get it repaired!...Easy, and no stress mate 💪💪
To be honest you had the best type of accident, no insurers involved, no paperwork and mostly an easy fix. I guess I have done about a million miles, the one time I was totally out of control in a car on ice has made me realise how sometimes that sometimes there is literally nothing you can do. My car literally was stationary and started to slide downhill with all wheels locked.
I was lucky thanks to plastic bumpers, great to see you guys laughing and getting on with things. In my house my wife has a full forensic investigation if I leave the hot tap dripping, glad it was not me in the BMW.
Not really when you're also knocking down your own wall lol
I watch all your videos guys, always leave a like but don’t often comment. Fair play to you Rob for sharing the full story and for keeping positive when you must of been sick inside. Chris continues to show the quality of his character through his reactions and fair treatment of you in all you do. Keep up the great work guys 🍻
Have a great big hug. It was an accident. Not stupidity like dopey here who got a new to me car, parked it next to a bollard (in a seaside car park) which was beneath the eye line. Struggled to get in and out of car, so I bloody knew it was there. Didn't stop me sitting in car later. Watched boats, turned on engine, went to pull out drive straight into bleeping bollard. Silver lining, beautiful new wall. Never know might get a deal from a subscriber. X
Rob, I feel your pain. A couple of years ago, I spun my E36 on some ice on an untreated road and hit a dry stone wall (no traction control). Unfortunately, the damage was a bit more than yours. I have recently traded it in for a 2009 Mercedes W204 C200. Respect to you for fessing up to this. It speaks volumes about your honesty and integrity. At least you saved money on demolishing the wall that you hated so that's one positive you can take from it.
Could have done with you a couple of months back when I had to knock a wall down out the front of my house! Seriously though, these things happen - you'll get the car sorted and it'll all be fine. Well done for putting this out there and not hiding away from it 👍
Oh Rob, I’m absolutely gutted for you in regards to that damage to the boot lid and the wall. These things happen, but it doesn’t make it feel any better.
I did exactly the same in a new house in a 3 series in similar conditions, car slid straight through the garage door. Lesson learnt, these things happen.
Hi Rob and Chris, guy's one of those things, slight damage, no one hurt.!! Alex.
That must of been heartbreaking, you didn’t have to show that, shows what a great attitude you guys have, fair play to you 👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Rob & Chris,big shout out to Ian & his wife for meeting you & offering you guys the car,shame what has happen to the car but nothing major & as for the wall,you didn't like any way lol.
Mate, I totally feel you on this. I had the most pathetic crash some years ago in similar weather. I had a 2.0 Mondeo Estate at the time, fully loaded with band gear (amps, etc). I was driving around the estate, complete ice on the roads, less than 10mph. At some point, I didn't realise there was a road hump, thought it was a bit further up but it was completely obscured with snow and ice. It just happened to be where the road curved round but that caused all traction to just disappear. Whatever traction I did have going at a snails pace, just went. There was nothing I could do at all. No response from steering, accelerator, brakes, no nothing, I just glided at a snails pace into this house's big cast iron gates. There was a good 5-6 seconds where I was just watching it happen. The car was alright, guy came out of the house and was cool, just exchanged details. As he was writing down, a BMW appeared and did the exact same thing and went headfirst into my door. So even though my car was totally undamaged, 3 minutes later it was making friends with a BMW. Exact same thing, lost traction over the speed hump and that was it. Turned it into a big ol' insurance job. I have a petrol automatic Focus now, managed to get it nearish home a few days ago when the snow first stared, I've just left it sat where it is. It's about a 5 minute walk away but it's parked and it can stay there for a few days. I'm not risking trying to drag it around my road as it is still totally like an ice rink. Not to labour the point, I'm current sat looking out my front window watching my neighbour trying to get his Astra moving and it's not having it. Sometimes people will be all jack the lad, saying how there's a million things you could have done, or how they would have done it better and what not. Yeah, when you lose traction at any speed in this weather, there's not a lot to be done really. I had it too after my incident above, loads of types trying to tell me how to recover it. Mate, when the car controls are doing nothing and you have 2-3 seconds to decide that fact, there's not a lot to be done. Sorry to see the state of the car now, but c'est la vie. At least it wasn't on a motorway meeting the business end of a truck or something. It's a wall and a boot lid, you'll laugh about it and tell cautionary tales next time we get a bad spell and that's that.
Been there Rob, my wife and I were delivering 2 brand new cars on trade plates for her dad's garage when she crashed into the rear of me at a junction I had stopped at!
The funny thing her dad didn't mind just said glad you weren't hurt.
yes he did repair them and sold them, I don't know if he told the new owners what had happened to their pride and joys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rob glad you kept it in as shows how real you guys are,it's a bummer obviously but could have happened on the way home which would have been worse,I've gotta say I like the little spoiler on the boot,love Chris at the end saying if anyone wants any rubble🙈🤣good you'll still make a good profit aswell🙂👍
Love the honesty of this channel keep up the good work lads these things happen at least you wasn’t injured 👍
Hello Rob, well, there is a little bit of damage, but, NO ONE is hurt! Like you have said it is no use crying about it, put on a smile!!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire
It is an awful feeling but no one was hurt and damage can be put right. Well done to you both for a great channel 👍
At least you are okay, these things happen and it could have been worse. Love Chris being pragmatic - "the best place ya could have hit it", that's the right mentality! Car will be grand in no time
Mistakes happen to all of us Rob! Keep doing what you do and best of luck getting it sorted. It’s still going to be a lovely car for someone, albeit they’ll have to wait a few more days 😊
I had a completely resprayed Mk1 Escort rolling shell some years ago, rolled off the trailer into my brick wall and pushed in the rear valance and back panel (bumper was not yet fitted), I cried.............lol. Good to see you laugh it off though guys, as you say, it is what it is !
Mk1 was repaired & repainted, eventually.
Oh Rob! Don’t stress it, as Chris said these things happen and could have been a lot worse. Showed my wife who back in 98 reversed my new Vectra CDX company car into her mothers garden wall. It happens and was a great video to watch
Like you said getting stressed over it doesn’t change things, you just move on. Looking on the bright side at least it wasn’t the Gallardo!! Best wishes to you both.
We’ve all being there Rob ! Accidents happen, chin up move on & onto the next project 👍👍👍
2 things guys.
1 at the start of the video you said "you live and learn"
2 we all make mistakes but you can't be hard on yourself and as a team you make mistakes together.
Love the videos and honesty.
All the best and have a great Xmas.
Thought the show was “Salvage rebuilds” not “Salvage makers” Rob 😅😅 that’s life mate, happens to the best of us
I so love the way Chris is so supportive - could have been a quarter panel and light. You gents are a legendary team as always. Good luck on the sale when it's ready - lovely motor for someone there.
Well done Rob, you've made me feel much better, I picked a new (to me) motorhome up and a couple of days later managed to try and demolish my drive wall with it! Oh well, that's life!
I lost it on the ice today back end of my van went right I was lucky to control it! Been driving since I was 16 I'm 43 now and I've learnt from bad experiences in the past to keep calm, it doesn't matter we all mess up! At 20 I brought a Vauxhall astra off a forecourt took it home first day slipped o drive smashed the door in😁
So glad you're OK Rob. I hope you're not pushing too hard just to bring us content. Accidents do happen so don't feel bad. We love your channel and although I've worked on cars for over 50 years, I learn something new every time I watch. Thanks and Happy Christmas to you and your family.
Respect guys. It's why I'm here loving each and every video. Warts and all. Both honest, fair, humble and an absolute pleasure to watch. Keep up the great content guys.
Gutted for you Rob, it's safe to say most of us would have been there. The pain will fade and you have bought a smashing looking car, no pun intended. On to the next one.
Show me a man that has never made a mistake and I'll show you a liar.
It was a bump and the only real hurt was your pride and that's perfectly natural.
Great vlog guys 👍
You wouldn’t get to do the bulk of your work without other peoples accidents, admire your honesty and great relationship between you and Chris. Look forward to next years output!
Rob, you’ll do anything to make good content 😂
Happens to the best bud 👍
Thanks for the honesty..great content as always..all the best to you and yours have a great Christmas guys ..
I scraped a newly resprayed in pearlescent black Corrado VR6 to buggery on my boss’s gatepost two days after I got it back from the paint shop. I feel your pain, Rob.
I did exactly the same thing one very icy night in 1985 , pulled up on my drive and the next thing the car was sliding into my garage , only problem was the door was shut CRUNCH ! So its no big thing its why its called an accident. Still enjoyed the vid and as always your honest approach to all you do.
Reality bites Rob, chin up mate and don’t get the hump about it. We’ve all been there and it happens to the best of us. Respect for uploading and holding your hands up to the gaff, buts let’s face it, we’re not gonna let a little knock like that isn’t gonna put you off your stride. Take it on the chin and move on to the next one.
Love your positivity and optimism. Keep the videos coming lads.
Oh my god I feel for you, such a unfortunate thing to happen to you and Chris.
This phenomena is known as ""RUclips Karma" as the site is called "Salvage Rebuilds" then there has to be a rebuild of some sort ! I did suggest to Chris at the NEC that we crash our 1939 loan car so that you guys can rebuild it, he quite rightly thought that was a daft idea! Thanks for a really entertaining channel all the best. Dave
Rob, these things happen, it was good of you to put this in the video, we have all been there ,
