Mate it was a excellent video as nominal you gave it a shot with them new mic but just wasn’t to be so don’t beat yourself up about it we are all happy you put this video out keep up the good work you do
Great video. Yeah I think we've all been there with the spliter scenario they look stupid anyway better in the bin. And as a owner of a T5 most probably the next tow guy will do the same thing anyway. No point fixing it 😊
Bloke at the pub told me that sails on a windmill are like spokes on alloy wheels, higher performance especially if they are black. Keep up the great vids.
Another great video mate, don't beat yourself up about the sound quality, you're doing a great job so keep it up... Oh and by the way, I am gutted because I am away on holiday when you are having the meet up so I'll just have to raise a glass to you from sunny Majorca on the day...😁
Hi Ben, just watched the video and believe me you have nothing to apologize for you can't get it right all of the time especially following some body's other work, so Ben don't beat your self up to much and keep on making bringing fun into breaking down, Ben another great video with great content👍👍
You made a laugh out of the mic and that got you a win. Hey, don't they normally clip them at the mid T-Shirt line to get food dribbled on and possibly sound more rumbly? 🙂 Certain supermarkets seem to put front wheel stops just close enough to the kerb to deliberately break naff front spoilers. Mentioning it to the customer showed how observant you are, and not in a bad way.
Don't be too hard on yourself, obviously damage free is what you want and thinking back to some previous videos, the effort you've gone to trying not to cause any damage even when they're already busted up is above and beyond most. It's easy to say now what could have been done but sometimes it just happens. Take it on the chin and move on. As for the sound, it would have been a shame to loose a video over that. I've tried really hard to sit through videos in the past (not yours) with terrible sound quality/wind noise. This really wasn't that bad. Looking forward to the next one 👍
Thanks mate, I actually binned over an hour of bad sound quality, and worked hard editing the rest, that's why I think it doesn't sound as bad as i've made out. But after all the editing I had to do I was absolutely done with this video ha ha 😂
My 2 goldfish..loved the goldfish at the end... you broke a splitter...or a spoiler.. dont they go the back.. ? never worry... most of them end up at the side of the road anyways...when they fall off... great vid... audio..? never noticed N x
Nothing worse than recording a video and the audio being crap. My usual one is not turning the receiver on... so I get great footage....and then 'Silence'... followed by rage haha.
Ha ha, this is the first time i've tried it, I've now sent these ones back and bought a new "wired" mic, hopefully it works for the bike, I had to bin 3 hours of footage as it was all completely unusable. Devastated
Dude, respect to you for being honest.... sometimes in life things happen, but nothing worse than finding out months down the line and everyone says, "not me guv".... Oh, and stop being hard on yourself..... videos are great, and you make cool content 👍👍👍 Ps, i think swimming goldfish in a cab is illegal 🙊 Road Traffic Act 12.2.5
@@Fighting_Torque Didn’t have to be recovered but once in my Tiger I had some new bolts holding the seats in which were a bit long, came up to one of the triangular shaped speed bumps and the bolts caught on it, just tilted the car enough the rear wheels lost grip on the tarmac. I got out and pushed it off….
The mic was only a problem at the very end and the goldfish made me spray my coffee. You've explained and it's for less than 30 seconds. With Chad and the goldfish (New boy band name there) I think it's clever. Stop worrying. We love you.
Mate I'd watch you even if you had a Sunderland accent and I live in Newcastle. Sounding like capt Nemo is nowt to worry about. Thanks for the video and enjoy father's day
It's a tough one tbf. Do you photograph jobs before you start? Just wondering if you also speak to clients if there is a chance it'll break - the subbies dropping it on grass is a proper eye roll moment.
Two thoughts Ben, microphone in your helmet, painful and poor audio unless you wear airtex underpants! Hehe. Campervans being lowered = triumph of form over substance same as buying a Range Rover for use in Chelsea!!
The bus driver is my dad, he’s a mechanic at Sleafordian. He loves your videos but can not comment on any videos at the minute because his account won’t let him
Video was fine, you live and learn with things in life so don’t beat yourself up about the mics. Trial and error sometimes. As for the splitter bud don’t worry sounds like it was totally unnecessary on a camper anyway and why would you need to check out first.
Post it Ben it was a good video! The only bit the mic decided to not play ball was at the end and if people complain about that they maybe need to have a reality check 😂!
I reckon everyone who has done recovery for any length of time has damaged a punters car. I know I have 😂 had a rover tomcat on the back and reversed under something a bit low that was invisible in the mirrors. At he garage I was working for at the time, you got 1 free one. Boss called me a dick and that was the end of it. Well, until the next one 😆 I also managed to tow a little pug from Truro to Bristol on the spec with the handbrake on (bye bye wheel bearings, guess they got a bit hot) but pulling it with an 18 tonner, you really didn't notice the extra resistance. My favourite lowered car was an E30 convertible with lost keys. Steering was straight, so couple of slippery Jims under the back wheels and pull. I explained to the guy very clearly that it was going to damage his body kit, as it was barely an inch off the tarmac at the front. Gave him a disclaimer to sign, which he did without an issue. Got the winch set up ready and asked him again if he definitely wanted me to carry on. He did. Used the levers instead of the remote so I could take the slack out of the winch nice and gently. Asked again, he said carry on. First little pull and there was a tiny cracking noise from the plastic and he yelled at me to stop 😂😂😂 he suddenly decided he could afford to get a Locksmith out to it. Callout and half hours winching to not move the car at all. Nice easy job 😂
I thought your voice sounded a bit fishy towards the end of the video 😊 You’ve now got competition Ben, I’ve just purchased a tilt and slide Mercedes 7.5 ton. I’m a long way from you so don’t worry 😂
what ya apologising for, your trying out new stuff to improve the channel, you admit it and make a laught about it, thats why your stuff is more real and not like may others who try portray their perfection. post it mate
Ben this is a decent video bud it’s literally only the last 30 seconds when the mic glitched and even then it wasn’t bad enough to make me want to stop watching. Would be a shame to bin it off after your hard work editing it for that, Definitely post it👍
Lowerd volkswagen are pain in hop more so with a spliter on them not really your fault ben you ant there to cut grass and stuff that it sunken into Try the microphone 🎤 on your sun visor seen folk putting them on there be4 .......video ant bad ots funny 😁 with fish at end 🤣 made a boring Sunday funny tbh 😆
Not even watched the video, but post it, all trial and error and shows the issues you go thru to entertain us. And if there’s anyone else watching who does videos it can only help them too . Post way
Thanks for the shout out mate and going all the way to the M5 for my van 😂
Ha ha any time pal 🤜🏼🤛🏽
Don't call yourself names, not needed. We love your videos.
Noted, thanks mate
Definitely post it. I don’t do lowered vehicles FULL STOP. Too much stress. Garage was probably right - done her a favour. Stay safe.
Cheers pal
Mate it was a excellent video as nominal you gave it a shot with them new mic but just wasn’t to be so don’t beat yourself up about it we are all happy you put this video out keep up the good work you do

funny, relatable and very slightly informational..... keep smashing it buddy x
Cheers pal, hope you're well
Great video.
Yeah I think we've all been there with the spliter scenario they look stupid anyway better in the bin.
And as a owner of a T5 most probably the next tow guy will do the same thing anyway.

Thanks Jon, appreciate your comment mate
That is a long one. Winch. Keep up the good work!
I really wasn't a fan of this video...weird really
As entertaining as ever, don't over-analyse things eh ;)
Omg you do make me laugh. Missed Malcolm. Brilliant video lol. That winch is so long. See you soon.
Glad you enjoyed it Gina

Ah gutted you won't be there mate, have a great holiday!
Trial and error with the mic still another great video Ben thanks for posting hope your doing well 👍😎
Thanks pal, appreciate the encouragement
As someone else has already said, we are here for the journey not perfection. Good video as always Ben.
Thank you ☺️

Cheers pal, appreciate that
Sounds like you were dealt a bit of a crap hand there 🫤 nice that you were the honest, stand-up guy we know you to be 👍🏻
Cheers mate, hope you're well
Nice video Ben
Some lovely villages around that part
Will keep a look out for you around lincoln until the next one stay safe 👍
Yeah there are some nice places, and nice pubs. Cheers pal

So did I initially ha ha

great vid... audio..?

Thanks mate, appreciate that
No wasn’t me!!! Was my old decker I used to drive though. You would know it’s me because I would wave a beep like an idiot 😂.
Ha ha, yeah someone else commented saying it was his dad and hes a bus mechanic there
Gotta try new things brother sometimes they're good sometimes not but like the rawness of your vids. Take care of yourself fella.
Cheers pal

Cool video as always m8 👍👍 don't know if anyone else as said anything but your reverse lights not working keep up the cool vids
Yeah I noticed in the edit mate, cheers
Despite the the microphone, still a great video Ben 👍👌
Cheers pal
Drive a lowered car - break stuff, I've had a few, it's just how it is. I had to get recovered off a speedbump once 🤣
Ha ha ha that's brilliant
@@Fighting_Torque Didn’t have to be recovered but once in my Tiger I had some new bolts holding the seats in which were a bit long, came up to one of the triangular shaped speed bumps and the bolts caught on it, just tilted the car enough the rear wheels lost grip on the tarmac.

I personally wouldn’t blame you. Loved the goldfish mate.No need for apologies.
Cheers pal

Even Chad felt sorry for me! Thank you for the feedback
Been driving past that windmill everyday for just over a fortnight as working in helpringham currently 😆
Ha ha class 🤙
I hate lowered vehicles .. how do they survive with speedbumps , potholes, and Trucker Tims driving
Ha ha that made me chuckle
😂 tbh Ben the audio is not that bad. Just keep up the good work and stay safe out there, and the flag looks awesome
Thanks mate
Great video Sir
will be the only medal I received that wasn't for running ;-)
Mate I'd watch you even if you had a Sunderland accent and I live in Newcastle. Sounding like capt Nemo is nowt to worry about. Thanks for the video and enjoy father's day
Same to you pal, thanks for the kind words
It's a tough one tbf. Do you photograph jobs before you start? Just wondering if you also speak to clients if there is a chance it'll break - the subbies dropping it on grass is a proper eye roll moment.
I stopped photographing cars tbh, maybe I should start again
Great video as alwaysBen, maybe a nice microphone Company may have seen this and send you some free gift I hope my medals in the post.
Ha ha great idea, see what you did there
Two thoughts Ben, microphone in your helmet, painful and poor audio unless you wear airtex underpants! Hehe.
