At the moment, videos about China as I'm in China at the moment. Otherwise, back in New Zealand, it would be videos about my Morris Minor, various projects, workshop related stuff and other random junk.
Zhongshan Classic Car Museum in China
I finally got the chance to pop around to the city of Zhongshan, China to check out the only classic car museum in the Guangdong province. Well worth the trip.

Strange things about driving in China (Vol. 1)
Переглядів 6838 місяців тому
Coming from a kiwi perspective, here are a few things I was able to capture on my action camera taped to my hat that I thought were quite strange while driving in rush hour traffic this evening in Huizhou, China. Most of these actions would otherwise be totally unacceptable in New Zealand, possibly result in violent encounters but however totally acceptable or no ones cares here in China. More ...
I got a drivers' license in China! - NZ Restricted "Translation" (China EP.12)

Feel free to ask if you have any questions, or if you are intending to do something similar. I'll be happy to answer any questions. Translating a New Zealand restricted drivers' license into a local Chinese drivers' license. Not a temporary or provisional one. I am however still a Chinese citizen and the process will differ if you are applying using foreign identifications and circumstances. Th...
Flee market + motor coach fail! (China EP.11)
Переглядів 769 місяців тому
Visiting Jiangmen to see my Maternal Grandparents, but I chose the worst time possible. The day before Mid-Autumn festival and the days leading up to national day. Where everyone is going on holiday and the traffic on the roads are the worst in the whole year. (Legit around the clock). Went to see a flee market in Jiangmen city, very cool stuff there. Very neat. Went to some other bits and bobs...
Huizhou CBD + Photography Fail (China EP.10)
Переглядів 8610 місяців тому
Wandering around Huizhou CBD on a photography trip however the weather is unbearably hot. The trip was cut short. I decided to wander to some other places in Huizhou before ending the video with some leftover footage that was for another video which never came to be. On the way I share a bit of info.
Being VERY nosy in car showrooms... (China EP.9)
Переглядів 32810 місяців тому
This wasn't supposed to be a video, but nothing exciting has been happening lately. So I pieced together random footage I had of myself and Dad visiting various car showrooms in Huizhou, China. We were just being nosy and wanted to see what cars were for sale here.
My Morris Minor Story
Переглядів 1,5 тис.10 місяців тому
Since I'm in China right now, not in New Zealand. I can't actually make any Morris Minor videos, I'd figure I'd collate together a video, and kind of tell my story behind my Morris Minor and a few adventures I've been on with it. Although I've only owned it for 2 and a half years or so. A Morris Minor appreciation video if you will?
Wandering Around in Huidong (China EP 8)
Переглядів 3710 місяців тому
Aunty's last day at work before retirement so I thought I would come along to her workplace (which is also the place where I was born), had a look around the town and killed some time. Not much to see but I thought I'd film a few bits.
Junked "Jialing" motorcycle repair attempt. (China EP.7)
Переглядів 22510 місяців тому
Being the stubborn fool I am, I went back to that second hand motorcycle dealer I encountered out in the outskirts of town seen in the last video. I asked if I could attempt to repair that write off ancient "Jialing" 70cc motorcycle. It's a cool looking bike but not very good quality or reliable anymore. Had an unexpected event happen, was fun either way!
Second Hand Motorcycle Dealer in China! (China EP.6)
Переглядів 8810 місяців тому
I asked to ride the worst motorcycle they had at this second hand motorcycle dealer I found on the outskirts of town in Huizhou. I was curious and bored. Turns out, their $100 motorcycle which they offered to sell to me wasn't very good! But it was fun, almost a proper classic. They were very nice people, we had a decent chat!
Pinghai Village - a trip down memory lane. (China EP.5)
Переглядів 4711 місяців тому
Travelling to Pinghai Village and the port of Pinghai with Dad for a trip down memory lane, not only for him but me too. That place holds a lot of family significance to us. I briefly go over it in the video. Dad shares a bit of info. I may make another video about it soon, we ran out of time and fuel. Also a bit of footage travelling on a Chinese motorway with my 2 cents.
Search for strange "vehicles" in Huizhou (China EP.4)
Переглядів 13511 місяців тому
There are all sorts of strange vehicles in China, I haven't been here long enough to cover everything or know everything. However, just hopping around the city some interesting forms of transportation can be spotted. Either legal, barely legal, grey area or just outright illegal or homemade. Join me as I ride around Huizhou attempting to search for strange vehicles and also show off some local ...
Stowing Morris Minor Away + Packing Up (Old Footage)
Переглядів 31711 місяців тому
Packing up in New Zealand, boxing up the workshop and storing the Morris Minor away after it's final trip. I won't be back in NZ for a while and when I do come back I will be moving out asap. This is old footage and a video I intended to upload almost a month ago but never did.
Strange Air Conditioner Installs In China (China EP.3)
Переглядів 25311 місяців тому
It seems the standards for installing air conditioning units here in China are fairly distant (not in a good way) from the standards overseas which I'm used to seeing. Most of them are installed in a rather ugly fashion and can be quite funny, others pose a bit of a safety risk. Overall, a lot of them are done to a poor standard which can be made fun of.
Clueless and lost in Guangzhou... (China EP.2)
Переглядів 1,1 тис.Рік тому
Disguised as a regular Chinese fulla, whereas in reality I'm really a Kiwi. I wander around the nearby streets of Guangzhou taking you along with me. Getting lost in various places, having general language issues etc. I narrate and give my 2 cents on what I've found here, after temporarily staying in Guangzhou for a week. There is too much to cover, the city is massive and far beyond me.

That's how you make lasting memories
Great video, really helpful. Thanks.
Changing up too early 20mph first gear, tad over 40 second, 65 third easy fourth 75+.. Shave 10 secs off that time..
Brought back happy memories, had mine 13 year's 250,000 miless plus.
Hi, did you ever do anything about the fuel pump clicking / Knocking just would what options are out there for moggies
Hi there, I ended up replacing it with a modern solid state diaphragm pump - a direct replacement for the original SU pump. It was $100 well spent. Someone had put the wrong type of pump in my morris before me, the fuel pressure was too high for the carb and would overflow in traffic. Cheers
you don’t need back pressure it’s a myth
THERE IS NOTHIMG BETTER THAN SIMPLICITY WHERE CARS ARE CONCERNED..IM STRESSIMG THIS POINT.
That must be about the same age as mine going by the Banjo steering wheel and clap-hands wipers.
Awesome stuff, thinking of getting one myself
Don't hesitate! You won't regret it. Cheers
Beautiful workmanship
Cheers
well done mate whats the unit under the parcel shelf looks like a heater? not the one under the speedo
Heya, just a cheap radio that I got online with built in speakers. Works well enough for listening to the radio or some music in traffic, at other times the car is too noisy to hear it anyway! Cheers
The easiest way to put the centrifugal weights is ,put the weights on the distributor cam , then turn distributor upside down and place cam onto spindle . That’s how I taught hundreds of students in my Technical College motor vehicle classes , City & Guilds courses. It saves trying to get the pegs on the cam to line up with the holes in the weights. Give it a try ,hope it helps.
मुझे नौकरी करने है आप है साहब जी
Nice job mate well done...now adjust ur tappets they need doing desperately I can hear them from the UK 😅
Will do sir, cheers lol
yep sounds nicer i dont have a vacumn hose connected no fitting on carb and just a bit on the dizzy no hose no idea
hmmm yeah that is a bit strange.
that sounds like oil pressure noise /tappets??? but never heard any points make that racket mate
Excellent video just what I needed....Always trust a Kiwi unless we're paying you at rugby 😂👍
Hahahaha
bloody brilliant for the knowledge u started with ,, its a learning curve eh mate next one will be better
Had to watch this as it reminded me of my dad with our Morris Oxford in the early 70s. Lovely to be reminded 😊
I'm not sure "In fourth by 35mph" is what I'd call really pushing it. Hell, in third by then would be barely nudging it. Brake judder could be ovalled drums, wheel shudder might be tyres need balancing.
By no means was I pushing it, it had more to give but I didn't have the balls! I've since replaced all the bushes in the suspension and the juddering has stopped but thank you for the info. Cheers! :-)
How to crank start a Morris Minor SAFELY
挺好玩的
You made a nice job of that mate. 👍🇬🇧
Cheers!
First law of crank-starting a Minor. Always do it right handed. I'm a lefty and tried it once, left handed, only to get cracked across the wrist by the starting handle, a painful lesson I never repeated.
Noted!
Fantastic job
Cheers!
Awesome video and good on you for getting involved with Morris Minors at a young age. You've done an awesome job of your car. 😊👍
Nice video , youve improved the car a lot. Its good to see young people taking an interest in classic cars : )
Cheers :-)
Looks like you did a really good job , well done . Im restoring an old ish Triumph Dolomite and intend to paint it myself when the welding is all finished. At the moment I plan to use small rollers to paint most of it. And see how it goes. If it looks rubbish i may end up spraying it later on.
I don't recommend using rollers as it causes more trouble and headache later if you wanna strip it all off to spray it. Spraying gives significantly consistent and cleaner results, not the mention it's far easier. Best of luck with your restoration! Cheers!
Am I the only one to have headache after watching the video? Camera is so shaky
yeah, not the best camera ever. Just wanted to try it out, never used this setup before. Cheers
Yes welcome to new zealand the land of pakistan
interesting.......
You seem to be quite a good mechanic there for such a young man 🛠👍
cheers! Learning as I go along :-)
Promo>SM 💐
Always good music in the back of these videos. Good job on the car, I know this is an older video, I'm backtracking after finding your channel recently. 👍
Cheers!
Excellent job. Just shows you what can be hidden up and only find out during restoration
Cheers mate, yes lots of hidden "surprises" haha.
Nice job beautiful car well worth the effort great fuel economy too
Cheers! Yes not bad fuel economy, I get about 12.5 k / litre :-)
Hats off to you Sir... you've done the old girl and yourself proud... It's not an easy undertaking- making a rusty old British car road worthy again - you've done a great job ! I like your approach to this resto'- calm and measured... just the way it should be...
Cheers!
Na man , just get the saddle stays
Good idea but they are $$$
Good advice. I once owned a Bond MInicar that had a kick-starter under the bonnet. When I used it and it kicked back it almost broke my leg.
Ooo yikes. Live and learn I guess haha. Do those cars have a motorcycle engine in them?
Frankly anything much over 100 kph on any bike is not that comfortable. Particularly with no windshield.
Couldn’t agree more.
what???
wha wha wha@@VailJohnson
@@KingTriangleCat that makes no sense....
I guess it doesn't then@@VailJohnson
Good job mate ! I have the same model of Morris Minor in dark green and I always enjoy its simple and reliable engine. I drive my Morris as a daily car especially in summer. Very nice video !!! Greetings from Italy
Wow! Never thought a Morris minor would be in Italy! That’s very interesting and cool. That’s exactly how they should be driven haha, as much as possible. Cheers :-)
Thanks for an excellent recap on your journey with the Moggie! I have watched nearly all your videos by the way and just wanted to say you really impressed me in how you tackled this project and your videos are all very well presented. You did an awesome job on the Minor, especially being so young and learning so many skills along the way. Bet you can't wait to get reunited with it. These cars really get under your skin! From a fellow 1966 Trafalgar blue saloon owner!
Hi there, thank you so much! 1966 That's a 1098cc variant aye? Fantastic. Cheers :-)
Yes bud - its the 1098cc 2dr version. Engine was actually reconditioned a while back and it had a rebore of the block at that point so I believe its somewhere around 1115cc now. Still not breaking any land speed records but its great fun to drive! Keep up the good work. Be good to see your reunification video when you eventually get back to moggie!
@@life952 very cool 👍
Nice job! A small suggestion: Morris Minors had pin striping along the bonnet, doors and rear body along the raised bodywork at door handle level. That small addition would really finish off the car beautifully.
Thats a good idea, need to locate some pin striping tape first, I don't think my hand would be steady enough to paint it on hahaha. Cheers
China is a photographers dream. I loved using monochrome when I lived there.
Sure is! Cheers 🙂
Loved the video and hope you have a lifelong enjoyment of classic cars 👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers :-)
Thanks for a nice video, such a sweet little car, clearly much loved and being well looked after.
cheers mate :-)
China is not a country we see a lot of ordinary city scenes from. Quite interesting. Life seems to tick over there quietly on a Sunday much as it does in many other places.
Yes you are absolutely correct, it is quite a strange place in many aspects. Thanks for watching!
China is definitely a fascinating place quite different from NZ I would imagine.
Haha, yes VERY different. Cheers 🙂
Thanks for that I'm just getting back to mine but luckily it's a project not my daily driver I think I've gone from novice to expert welder and I thought it just needed a paint.
Hahaha, it's all about the things you learn and encounter along the way aye. Looks can be deceiving lol. Best of luck with yours, cheers :-)
Thanks for this video. It made it real easy to do this myself. Though the cup on the lower wish bone was stuck, so it got a few extra (light) hits with the hammer to free it up) Thanks heaps.
Cheers, glad it helped 👍
Well done - I’ve always been too scared to try this 😂
Cheers, lol. Hopefully this vid made it slightly less scary haha.
