    From one artist to another, with all my heart, this is the most brilliant project I have seen in two decades. Not the van, Wheelie Yellow. You are a genius. Thank the heavens you got out of that office and can now share your brilliance with us. Heartwarming, endearing, completely family friendly, with an uplifting message. Comedy in a time when no one seems to be able to figure it out... Action, intrigue, Wheelie Yellow has it all in perfect little bites... All of it, just absolutely amazing. Thank you and well done!

    Not only do you design and build a wonderful, speedy little vehicular home and give us exquisite asmr in the process, but you drop the best little tidbits of life advice in every video. I am overjoyed that the algorithmic overlords have pushed me in the direction of your channel. The angles, the editing, the jokes, the whole idea, all amazing. You're an inspiration to all the aspiring miniature felt van drivers of the world.

    That joke at 0:10 is my favourite one in the the video. I say this before watching the rest of the video. Brilliant.

    I hope you enjoyed the soothing rhythmic wheezing noise..
    I think the squeak at the end is the best part.

    wheelie, your videos make my life better and restore my faith in humanity. i already felt like there were only AI generated videos about conspiracy theories, motivational videos consisting of the same old music, stock footage and transcriptions, or videos of some comedian's podcast. thank you for real videos from real people with real content. that actually make me laugh and improve my mood. thank you.
