      I think he almost doubled his subs from this time last year. If he pulls his words through (one video per week) no telling how many subs or doubles he will do come this time next year - should be a fun ride 🚙✨

    This is the best "one man show" on any platform EVER! I cant even fathom the work that goes into this! The work on the car is enough to make me faint but to package it with the stop motion and smother in the gravy that is that fantastic Irish accent I am hooked! I couldn't give two spits about RR but watched that playlist twice. George is a TRUE Renaissance man.
