      It’s always nice when we get comments like this as for us it shows the progression that Neil has made with his editing, most channels who have people who have never done something like this before do naturally progress as they do more which is always nice to see, thanks for the comment 😊

      Thanks man as as for citing you …. Sorry buddy ….. a few people keep saying we have cost them money… we don’t mean too and if it any consolation when we watch other videos on here they end up costing us money too!! You can get so many ideas from peoples vans and vlogs 😂😂
