    I know he hasnt be well recently due to personal/health issues, but I really miss Rory. Get well soon! ❤️
    Also, to all those complaining about the vids going stale.
    Alex has just had a baby, Rory appears to be going through some stuff off camera, and Taylor is probably busy on Grindr looking for a little fella. 😅
    Whilst these circumstances are happening, big builds and road trips cannot happen. The road trips will be back soon, they've spoken in various outlets about big trips, but these take months of planning.
    Keep going AA team, theres loads of people behind the scenes that are working on bringing us the next 'big' adventure.

    1:43 To give you some context, DFSK stands for "Dongfeng X(s)iaoKang" (Xiaokang means middle-class in Chinese colloquial). These trucks are made in China by the brand Dongfeng, and they are insanely cheap. A single-cab, flatbed version of that truck (2024 model) can cost as little as 3250 pounds, this version would be probably 500 pounds extra
