    Really love your taste and the things you do to your cars . I appreciate your UA-cam channel because there’s not a lot of SA car channels that have your pov driving and just talking about cars with the boys love your style of video very high quality and one of the only guys filling the pov niche in SA very international style very cool and I love how you make the videos longer . Really can enjoy watching you talk and explain things and plans for hours 😂

      Really appreciate the feedback. It means a lot. Sometimes I'm not sure how much I should be sharing with you guys because I don't want to ramble on and no one really cares but it's good to know that there are some that enjoy it. I guess for the guys that don't they can just skip ahead. Haha.
