Come on Kev..........where’s the Cccchhhhhheeeeeerrrrssss lately? Loved the video mate 👍🏼
Hi Kev , Another great Video . Wow that MAN looks nice , Bet you would not mind driving that ! Cannot wait for the Scania Vlogs Bud . Imagine the start , " Hello Welcome back to the Vlog , Welcome back to the Renault Oh Wait Scania ! " Seriously Mate Thank you for sharing you day again , Stay safe and take care . CHEEEERRRSSSS !
I've got an I10 62 plate. Great little budget cars 🚗
Breaks my heart to see one in such bad shape 💔
I don't think I've ever seen a MK4 astra in decent nick. This video further proved that 😂. They were all knackered 10 years ago, god know how that one lasted 20 😂
😂😂😂
Nice video we both enjoyed it
Brilliant video Kev
love the videos the ford ka looked clean
Bloodyhell!! Can't physically remember the last time I see one of them Fiesta's!! I bet it gave you a nice feeling inside being able to bring back her pride and joy, bless her. If that little KA does infact end up at auction it will be a bargain for someone, visually it will just need a front bumper. Hope your keeping well mate, keep the vlogs coming. Again struggling to catch up haha. Oh out of curiosity what was the song near the end of the video in the time lapse?
There's an even older Fiesta at 26:51 next to the red Golf 👍
Good to see you once again Kev I'm really enjoying riding shotgun with you Kev until the next vlog buddy take care of yourselves and keep safe and well sir
Good video kev stay safe
nice one kev. can,t wait for the next video. so we can here what you got to tell us mate?
Scottish reg hyundai its amazin how cars get around the country . Thats an angus reg . From tayside hope ur well kev . Nice to see ur latest vid . All the best .
Ian Innes that’s for sure, I’m from Essex and went to Inverness last year, hired a car there and got given an Essex registered Hyundai from my nearest Essex Hyundai dealer!
I knew exactly where you were in Fareham.
I used to work on that estate, and bought from that company in the background; John Palmer Carpets.
All those cars think they're going on holiday, like the cattle you see on the way to the abattoir.
Bloody South Circular, you do more London work than I do and we're based at Tilbury! Hope it stays that way for my sake and sanity lol. Know where I'll be going tomorrow after that comment. Hope you had a nice weekend Kev, stay safe mate 👍👍
Haha I don't actually mind it in the little Renault after constantly navigating the place in an artic for year 😂😂
Hi Kev another brilliant video and hope you are keeping safe and well
Very interesting to see the wee white car you picked up in London area. The reg that began with SP is registered over Perth & Dundee area’s. Owners must have moved South at a guess. All the Buses & Coaches Stagecoach bought new going to Perth Dundee & Fife always began with SP mate. So that’s useful facts for you I’m sure ur sleep better for knowing that. Speaking of sleep I’ll get off shortly as I’m hiring out a Scooter at Glenrothes tomorrow so can go for a small M&S food shop. So that’ll be dinner sorted for next 2 day’s. Great video as always & I’m looking forward to hear ur big news pal. Keep up the good work you top man . 👍👍
Couple of experiences myself of Scottish reg’d vehicles making it down South. Til 5 years ago, Reading’s entire fleet of Buses (Berkshire) were all on Scottish reg’s (not visited since so unaware whether that’s still the case), probably just to do with getting best value I guess. Also friend of mine bought a brand new 13 plate Focus soon after the superceding plate came out (54?); I believe the Scottish Dealer had registered a whole bunch of unsold cars and then sent lorry loads of em down South to get ‘em sold. Believe I remember an old 'Auto Trader' article that said you can buy the same vehicle cheaper in Scotland, even after transport expenses bringing it down South
Yeah I know a lot of London Buses have Scottish registration plates as they were built at Alexander Dennis at the Falkirk plant mate.
Kev, new subscriber here , you appear to have the perfect job sir. I miss recovery wish I could get back into it. Keep up the great work.
Thanks James and welcome to the channel. I love the job as I loved recovery work when I done it years ago, it was just the hours I didn't like. This job has all the fun of recovery but without the unsociable hours 👌😂
@@KevTee that's what is thought just wish there was somewhere round me that did it. Don't suppose trends fancy having a permanent driver in the North Kent se London area. Ha ha keep it up I personally find it fascinating.
I am convinced car manufacturers build water traps in cars ,to make sure they trust. Stay safe keep on trucking
More great content, hopefully by the time you release the next vlog I should be back home in U.K.
good vid kev like all the content mate
Great vlog again sir #thumbsup
Keep up the hard work and thanks for the content stay safe and take care
Kev: Gooood news is coming!
*Kev has purchased that C class as a project car*
familiar with it, was local to me, seems like 'One for the Brave' with (I guess) severe damage to the Bodyshell underneath.... Good luck with it Kev !
That Astra is the LS or “Le Shite” edition. Had one of those for a short time, it drove like a sponge pudding.
They're actually pretty good at being "an car". As you say very boring, but good and economical 4 rolling wheels
Sammy TheSeal I’m yet to find an exciting ‘normal Vauxhall. But yes, it was an okay car to get me through a short period where my daily was having some body work done.
@@simono.d9469 Good point!
IV had many vauxhalls including a astra there all boring cars to drive
@@carlwood1432 They're boring, doesn't mean they're bad 😉
Can't believe you didn't stop at Rolled up Sandwich shop for the Massive Bacon and Egg Bap
really enjoying these keep up the good work kev
Got my hgv c test next month then my c+e after, can't wait
Good luck Mick 🤞
@@KevTee thanks kev, I might start my own vlog then, we will see!!
great video again looking forward to the news what you got
Do you ever collect classic minis,not bimis..? If so what happens to them? 🤣
Nice day!
Nice one Kev keep it up the amazing work
Another great video kev, hopefully you'll get a scania soon 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Kev...you’re man of taste....I’ve got the same glasses frames as you 🤣😜
Hi Kev my old pick up truck died on friday so got to get a new one
You passed through my village on the A31 south of Alton.
Still walking the long way around! 🤣
I enjoy the exercise and getting my step count up 😂
You are the man Kev 💪🏻
Great video again
Another great video Kev 🤙

Great vlog kevtee
Altons just 6 miles from where I live, great vid
Great vid as per Kev! Also, don’t suppose you were travelling down a38 this morning around 7:30am towards Plymouth? Finally seen my first Trent 🤣
Haha not me this time mate, I was London bound 👍
hello your a pro greetings from norfolk
Hi keV seen you in Margate Kent to day,

Evening Gary 👋
Hi Kev i hope you and your lady wife and beautiful daughter are all and safe
i loved the video with great views just like always anyway
keep up with the great work that you do and keep them great videos coming
drive carefully and stay safe my friend
Blimey that Hyundai is barely run in! Probably on its original tyres (before the crash) and only ever used by Doris to go to the shops and church on sunday. I wonder if it will get fixed?
Highly likely it will go to auction and sold as 'damage repairable' 👍
@@KevTee Hopefully. As boring as i10's are, it would make a nice economical run around for someone for not a lot of £££. Not quite ready to be turned into fridges and washing machines 😂
Good evening to you sir from wellington Somerset
Evening David 👋
How is your salary scheme like? Are u paid by the number of vehicles retrieved and brought to the yard? Or it's a fixed amount?
one day you may come to the bodyshop i work at
What’s happened to the Volvo model build 🤔
A new build video will be on its way soon 👍
Hi Kev! First off all, it is always nice to watch your video's! Keep up the good work! I have a question about the logic behind the numberplate numbers in the UK, if there is any. You mentioned the 63 plate on the little Hyundai i10 in the beginning of the video. Why do you mention this? Is there any logic behind those numbers so mentioning the number on the plate is interesting? I am not from the UK and I keep wondering if the number has something to do with a series of plates or the moment when the car is registered? I hope to hearing form you soon! Thanks a lot in advance!
Hi Lars, numbers on a registration plate can indeed denote the year of registration provided it's not a private plate. They change twice a year so a 13 = 2013 and 63 = the mid year change, the following year would be 14 =2014 then 64 for the mid year change. Then the mid year changes for 2020 would be 70 = 2020, 71 = 2021, 72 = 2022 ect. Hope that makes sense, bit of a convoluted system but makes sense once your use to it 😂
@@KevTee Thanks a lot... From now on I will (probably) be able to guess the cars registration year in your vids... I will probably be doing this for every car you will be transporting. 😂
Hi Kev been watching few of your vids now I take it you work for the salvage company do you get many older fords like the mk3 fiesta and does your company sell them on as could me and a friend in to the older fords keep up the great content and ccchhhheeeeerrrrssss
No so many old fords as generally the owners know there worth.
KevTee yeah that’s it hey any thing retro now worth money keep up the great content mate gone mad watching your vids lol
Greetings from India 🇮🇳
Sir, I'm big fan of yours.... Please make me your student for tucking....🙏
Hey Kev how's Jay is he ok , no vid's from him for a while ?
From previous videos he's having a UA-cam break for a while
#thumbsup
#👍🏼
Wondering if you be over to collect my car in August. But I maybe Far north
If it's above the M4 I'll get a noes bleed 😂😂
Sadly it is,I’m in Herefordshire
What do they use the MAN for looks like it’s a nominal curtain sided great video again Kev very interesting
Trunking parts between depots 👍
KevTee something you fancy or happy doing what you’re doing
Is that the most irritating indicator bleeper ever???
A very slow one too!!
Kev out of interest, does your tacho keep counting when you are loading the cars? Or do the stops count towards your "break"
It stops counting driving time but loading is classed as 'other work' which the tacho automatically switches to when the truck stops. Break has to be taken separately 👍
@@KevTee Thanks you!
How do you change from drive to reverse?
I think there's a button to the right of the steering wheel 👍
Thanks
What are those half moon box things sitting in the streets
Push bikes.
Lockable bike sheds 👍
andy trubridge thanks andy
KevTee thanks mate, that’s something we don’t have here in australia
#roadlegends
I’m in Northern Ireland with a class 2 licence and I’d literally love to be doing this.. I’m 25 with very little experience. Do you think I’ve any chance of getting something like this or do they prefer more experienced drivers for this kind of thing?
I have alot of experience with hgvs. It depends how long you have been driving for but for most work you have to have a little bit of training to do most work
Anyone who is willing to learn and listen can do what kev does but you need class1 to use the spec. I see kev most days when unloading in the yard (no I dont work for the same company as kev. I'm a recovery driver) I've been doing it 20 years. I'd suggest that you approach your local recovery/salvage company and ask if they have any jobs.
Kev, what are those green things in the road? apologies if you have mentioned them before mate
What green things ?
Time stamp ?
Think your refering the the lockable bicycle sheds 👍
@@KevTee ah wondered what they were lol
Aren't they going to toss you the keys to the MAN....
(It probably get into some of the places you've been to in recent weeks)
I know he's said the artic they already had was used on a trunk to Rugby, so assume this one is the same? 🤷♂️
This MAN has replaced the older artic that was doing the trunk runs, I've been told I could be covering holiday on the artic so will be nice to keep my hand in 😁
Do you like driving in London?
I don't actually mind it in this job, much less stressful than in an artic 😂
i would like to do that job,can anyone give me help and advice where to start looking please
Try the salvage companies and ask if there's any jobs going? Copart, Synetiq etc
Surely you can find better music than the hideous noise used in this video!
And for every song I used that you enjoy, I'll receive the same amount of messages just like yours that don't.
Second
Third
What car do you drive Kev?
I've been wondering that too!
Adam Crook he posted a video on his channel about 3 months ago when he cleaned it
That was the other half's car and it was a Honda jazz, I don't really have a 'car' at the moment apart from the Honda CRV but that's just a work beater and tip run car, a scruffy beast that refuses to die 😂 hopefully there will be another addition soon 😉
@@KevTee It's the best thing to do in my opinion 😄
Sub £1000 car and scrap it when the next big bill comes up
160k now and still going strong, it's only ever had an auxiliary belt fitted 😂
Bloody hell what is the insurance industry coming to? Writing off that ford Ka?? All it needs is a bumper and maybe a rad. They wonder why climate change is happening when theres all that demand for new cars needing to be manufactured 😂😂
It's down to cost - insurance co's seem to insist on using genuine manufacturer's new parts. The cost of those, plus the cost of providing a courtesy car means that so often, it's cheaper to just pay out to the owner, then they can sell the car for rebuild and not have to worry about the cost of loan car etc. We had a 2005 Fiesta in the family that was lightly damaged but still driveable after a front ender. Insurance co wanted to write it off at approx £2700 to repair (plus loan car) but we got it fixed privately for just over £700 - huge differemce in parts prices and using independent local body shop with fair labour hourly rate
@@cmartin_ok Yes it is a shame they don't drop their standards for a certain age of car. I know someone who managed to get a 15 year old (at the time) rover 400 repaired after a rear end shunt. They used a new old stock OEM bumper, painted it, valeted the car, transported it 100 miles each way to and from the body shop and 1 week courtesy car!! For something like a minor bump some people don't realize they can buy the car back off the insurance and continue using it as it is if they don't care about the car's appearance!
