    Chris is so laid back. If he doesn't become the new James Bond then there's gonna be riots. Great video 👏👏👏

    The consideration, tenacity, politeness , thought and really hard work that you two put into your efforts, give everybody listening, and watching, a lot of hope.
    We all wish that "Rob and Chris" were here to take our cars to........because you (Both) are, without a shadow of a doubt, truthful and honest.
    We trust and we like you.

    Hello Chris and Rob, great team effort on these vans. Special thank you to Chris for his continued ‘pieces to camera’ very much appreciated and enjoyed.
    Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

    Quality of these videos has really taken a step up recently. More Chris in the videos is great! Keep 'em coming guys 👍

    A great turn around on the Vito Van, nothing missed out, and nothing glossed over. Considering the gamble you took, the journeying about and all the brisk work you have done, you have earned a fair return for your confidence. It is a valid point, you stuck your necks that bit further than others with your winning bids, the seller had his money, you won the vehicles, and worked the profit. An excellent result for everyone in my book.

    You guys are brilliant 👏 i envy you're friendships and being able to run your own place. Just to top it off your both really decent and honest blokes. To find honest decent dealers nowadays is difficult. Fan for like here. Would love to have a coffee with these 2 and watch chris at work, seriously intelligent man. All the best to you both and your familys. ✌👊.

    That’s more like it Chris I really like the way you’re beginning to interact with the camera and telling us what you’re doing, just like rob to get you welding again, glad you are charging proper money guys , people shouldn’t forget that you are a business and you’ve got overheads , ie the garage , heating, electricity, etc, enjoyed the vlog guys

  • @petedig5809
    @petedig5809 3 роки тому +2

    Rob, don’t ever apologise for making a profit. You are so transparent with the numbers and everyone can see the quality of the work you do. No matter what you make, someone is going to get a great van at a great price, especially in the current difficult market. You both have a living to make and you take the risks.

    When your trying to put oil in an engine, just make a small hole on the handle to let the air in Rob. Or, spend a tenner and get 20 plastic funnels and leave them laying all over the workshop.

    History repeats itself.
    My dear departed Dad spannered and drove for a member of the Birmingham speedway team. Every year they would purchase a big car, Zodiac or suchlike "up north" as the team transport, replace the rear bumper with a channel section to carry a bike and away they went . The season finale was always at Wembley where they would sell the season 'bus'. The price differential was usually enough to negate the overall cost for the year.

    Hi Rob and Chris, now this is a tidy van, nice to see you fitted new front tyres. Chris was mustard sorting that front door out so quickly. Nice quick turnaround and enjoyed the video guy's. Cheers, Alex.

  • @stephenricketts7764
    @stephenricketts7764 3 роки тому

    Taking a chance on all those vans is as you know part of your kind of work. Generally you manage to get off OK. That was a bit naughty with the roof but I have seen it before, it is usually just laziness, take the rack off and can't be bothered to plug the holes . The same goes for the door, just throw some washers in that will do. You two would never do such a thing I know but you are right Rob in saying how far do you go. Great video and numbers gents have a good weekend Chris and Rob. 👍👍

  • @philtucker1224
    @philtucker1224 3 роки тому +2

    Rob and Chris, I’m really enjoying this format where you are both inputting your contributions to the repairs as you go. It’s like actually being there helping to do the repairs….- very very enjoyable. Best regards from “an old Thanet boy” 😊

    @richardadriver 3 роки тому +1

    You've certainly struck lucky with these vans, they've al been pretty serviceable and decent looking. A bit of Chris & Rob magic and they are back on the road earning someone a crust.

  • @stevedane787

    • @stevedane787
      @stevedane787 3 роки тому +3

      I would say that being on TV is the last thing they want. As things stand,they have total control over the content, whereas being on TV means that you work through a production company, so you have to do as the director or producer wants. Look at the way Wheeler Dealers went down the pan when it got sold to the Americans. Don't change a thing.

  • @super6954
    @super6954 3 роки тому

    Thanks for another great video, I bet Chris finds straightening doors back either goes easy or they are a pain. over the years I've probably done 50 steel framed tractor/machine cab doors guys have smacked into gateposts and other things and that's what I find. Yeah that dogs smart with that ball. We use to fatten 5000 pigs a year here. Those animals ripped the boards off in the barns and figured out pushing a 6ft long planed 2x6 piece out of a mesh gate in the end of the barns with 6" x 4" holes in it. Quite often we'd find stuff they found or ripped off outside in the mornings where they chucked it out after playing with it for a while. They'd even throw all the bits of a Stanley knife out over a few days if one got dropped in there while cutting strings on bales and they found it. Take care guys.

    I remember someone on Dragons Den developed an attachment to screw to an oil container to stop the oil from glugging. He was crestfallen when Peter Jones said "just turn the can on its side and it pours perfectly". Exited empty handed.

    It's like a good wheeler dealers where they actually make some money and the guy doing the buying and selling isn't a absolute bell lol.
    Considering the content is of mostly run of the mill vehicles it's some how really compelling, I think that's just testament to these two nice chaps does things how they should be done.
    "You watching that guy again??" "What they fixing this time?" Is often heard from the Mrs. 😀

It’s a shame about the company that went into liquidation but good that you and Chris putting the vehicles back on the road Rob. Pity they haven’t got any company cars to get rid of the content would have been great and you could have got a 6 month rail pass Rob lol. Thanks for another great entertaining video looking forward to the next one. Tom

Loved the dog interlude. Dog lovers will like this story i heard at the weekend about a greyhound who was too clever for racing.
