    Hi Brendan. I have been catching up on your great content since a friend recommended your channel. Although not doing the camping element I did my first cook from the rear of my car yesterday whilst visiting a racing circuit in Kent. It was a fantastic success and that’s thanks to the inspiration I got from you. Keep the content coming and thanks again!

  • @MrCripsy
    @MrCripsy 2 роки тому +1

    Might be worth fitting a rubber foot on the end of that pole to avoid scratching the bumper but also make it less likely to accidentally knock it away and have whatever you’re cooking plus the cooker fall onto your legs. Also out of interest, is that a disabled parking bay you’ve filmed yourself parked in and posted on the internet?

    • @BrendanExplores
      @BrendanExplores  2 роки тому +2

      Good shout and I've fitted one now 👍🙂. Yes we parked in a disabled bay right outside my dad's house. We used it so the cable from the house could reach. We were with the vehicle all day so if the other spaces got full I could move it for someone in more need 👍. All the spaces along that strip are equal distance from the houses so that particular space being marked as disabled is the exact same as every other space. It's not like most disabled spots where there's actually a benefit being closer to a shop etc.
