    The cuts to black & white wood chopping footage aligned with on-track performance is, by far, the best demonstration of a point ever to be made in comedic history! I’m not usually a fan of coverage of this type of event (due to it all being roughly the same) but fellas, you’ve changed my mind; full marks to all involved.

    As a British person who remembers Bedfords when they still cruised British roads... It's been at least 20 years since I saw one in the flesh. Our weather, salt on the roads and total disregard for old Vans makes seeing this a true delight.

    My favourite part was seeing the proud smile on Alan's face watching his grommet experience huge power for the first time. That was right in the feels for me as a dad myself.
