    knocked out the park again. cracking work by all. think what i love is the end of the video you said 'im not making you like or subscribe, you do as you like around here'.. thats refreshing to not have that rammed in your face every video, far too many channels do that. Ted on top form as per usual.

    I love how humble Ted is. He's basically done all the hard work but you don't hear him bragging about it. Great dog, wonderful manager.

    Joe, There is only one thing left to say, and that is GOOD LUCK AT TANK FEST 2024. Seriously tho', you have done a superb job of restoration on the FV4005 in the short time you've had it. So there are somethings not quite ready, but compared to what it could have been with all the struggles etc. You've done Bloody Marvellous Miracles to her, and she should be displayed with pride and you should be very pleased with what you achieved in the time. WELL DONE JOE & TEAM....

    6 months and all that? That's well in my book. Parts had to be made, things had to be untangled, paint, troubles. Then some out time for some of the team. All understandable. Given how well it looks, it's surprising you managed to get it all as good as it is - and 90% running. When it's all said and done, it's going to be a great piece. You done did good!

    My brother and I went to Fort Moore (formally Fort Benning) for an open house on their armor display April 27th of this year. It was very impressive. We also visited the American Infantry Museum and attended the live fire demonstration featuring 120mm mortars, drones, servicemen, Strykers, Bradleys, and Abram’s MBT’s. It was a great visit. If I ever make it to England I would love to visit and thank you for the many hours of enjoyment I have received from watching your videos. Thank you so much. From 2 older American pharmacists.
