    Great format - thoroughly enjoyed learning about the highs & lows of a week at Berrow Motors. Great to see the crew too (old & new). I look forward to seeing more! Hope your track day goes/went well 😁 🖖

    Great video Joe with all the insight to running a car dealer/workshop business. Love the way you interact with the TEAM. Yes to the BM merch next you will be on the TV like the Matthewsons Bangers and Cash. Hope to see some footage from the track day.

    Yea. Really enjoyed that. Didn't lose my interest throughout, and I have a short attention span. You come across as a pretty laid back, laconic character, obviously not as laid back as Josh ( by the look of that seat back). Hope things go well for you. Looking forward to the rest of your weekly efforts.

    Recognise that noise as droplinks soon as I heard it. Where I live speed bumps everywhere and my beautifully softly sprung berlingo needs drop links every 18 months. The roads in uk are shite. Just found channel subbed cheers. Loved this vid as in 60s my old man had a petrol station with a workshop and sales pitch. Round the back were all the smashed up cars he recovered with his landrover recovery truck with a hand cranked crane. No electric winches then. In the workshop there were engines gearboxes all manner of parts everywhere. I never understood how he could put them all back together. His brother in law was a toolmaker and reconditioned heads and made parts etc. he had a landrover out the back with no hood on canvass was rotted it had front and rear towbars used to shunt the smashed up cars. I used to plat in them at 5 yrs ish old blood in them etc😂. I loved going out to recovery’s with him and he used to bring some tasty clients cars home. E types, sunbeam alpines, triumphs and mgs. I loved a convertible then and I still do now at 64. This vlog sort of took me back there. Good luck with all. Best of all my dad could barely write but could read and his general knowledge was incredible. My mum did all his paperwork and he served his mechanical and electrical engineering in the army the rest he just learnt and was naturally skilled in. He would help anyone and never skanked anyone over jobs or money. He was the man who could mend anything. His hobby was carpentry and he built some beautiful furniture. Especially a child’s chair for each of his grandchildren which will be passed for generations

    He might as well drive from the back seat if he’s got it reclined that far back. It makes my back hurt just by looking at it. 😂
    I’d happily buy one those shirts, they look good!

    20:56 made me laugh loads. I'm 37 now and 100% did that when I was a young driver. I thought that was so cool and i genuinely forgot I used to drive like that. Now at this age I completely agree with your comments. WTF was we doing when we were kids haha.
