I live in Aruba. With sub 125,000 citizens. On an island so small, you can't see it on an Atlas. So famous because of tourism and Xander Bogarts. You can get from coast to coast in under 1 hour. But doesn't matter how small your home country is, what matters is the size of your heart!!!
Thank you for the delightful tour of Sarajevo! The winter Olympics there are still memorable to us oldsters, and the terrible wars that followed in the '90s, unforgettable. Here in the US we rarely hear any news of Bosnia Herzegovina, so it's wonderful to see how your country has recovered and is again beautiful! The many thoughtful comments left by viewers the world over are almost as interesting as your videos! With all the turmoil here in America and the world, they are refreshing reminders that curiosity, common interests and goodwill still bind us together in the brotherhood of humanity. Thank you for your contributions and please keep the great content flowing! Best wishes from East Tennessee.
Awesome video! I'm so glad you did this! Beautiful country for sure! You're a good UA-camr because you are not one-dimensional, you are a real person on this planet who might not be my neighbor, but you are my brother!!! Much love to you!
You know you're my bro too! Gimme some bromance. You always totally get it. I really try not to think what will get the most views, but try to make the kind of vids I genuinely want to make and the ones that tell some sort of story. The rest are how to videos lol :)
Great video! Thanks for the insight you provide about Bosnia. Your use of language is phenomenal. Precise, fluid, with just the right emphasis and inflection. I’m a native English speaker and could only wish for such mastery of English. I love your channel! Thanks so much!
Thanks! Outstanding Video, i watched the whole thing! It was like a personal tour. Your videos are the go to resource for me for understanding internal combustion engine design at a simple yet thorough level. Your command of English is phenomenal! You have a most soothing delivery and are so pleasant to listen to. I never feel talked down to.
@@d4a No it's not. You have no idea how many of your videos I have watched and enjoyed, and this one was just so special, and I'd never thought about donating until I saw another comment with a donation. So think of it as being divided among 5 or 6 videos at least. Hours of discussion are fueled by the understandings you so cogently present. You have a natural approach as a teacher, that is also reassuring. Be encouraged!
I don't know what to say other than thank you. Sorry I respond so late but everything just gets buried in the sea of comments sometimes. You have no idea how happy it makes me that the videos fuel discussion, I couldn't ask for more
I recently discovered your channel and really liked how you thoroughly explain different concepts in a great detail, but still easy to understand even for people that don't have engineering background. I found your english accent very familiar and googled around to find out where you are from and then found this video. It was a great trip down the memory lane, as I visited Sarajevo 8 years ago on a business trip and fortunately had enough time to visit most of the places you've shown in this video. It also makes me proud that there is such a good educational UA-cam channel (almost a million subscribers at the time of writing) from "our small part of the world". Keep up the good work, and... Srdačan pozdrav iz Hrvatskog Zagorja 😉
2024 and I have just seen this - like your other videos, inventive, intelligent, good fun with a nice undercurrent of humour. As someone who has never had the chance to visit Bosnia or its neighbours, it was very enjoyable and informative to watch. I live in Melbourne (Australia), not far from a Bosnian mosque, and where we have plenty of Serbs, Croats and Macedonians. Very interesting to see what Sarajevo looks like and have a human history. And a stunning command of english.....
I really enjoyed this, thank you for showing off your city and it's history. I was a teenager in New Zealand when the Bosnian War happened, so I remember the horror shown on the news. I'm glad your country has recovered and healed.
Just found your channel, love the content. And back here to find out more about you. I live on an small island with 60,000 people and we don’t even show up on most maps so all your open countryside seems really nice to me. Keep up the great work, I love your engine technical videos.
Wow- like wow dude. Had NO clue other than the garage and a few other shots. This just makes what your doing with the MR2 even more unfricking believable since your not down the street from a car parts place. Thank you for taking your time to make this, even though we’re thousands of miles apart, I few closer now that you made this🤘 makes me want to do one of San Diego🤔😉
Wow what a beautiful place . I live on the Oregon Pacific coast and it's nice but that is spectacular. What a great video. I enjoy all of your videos they're very educational. With that said, thank you for all you do here your work is appreciated.
Hey man kako ste? I found your channel based on the 4 stroke vs 2 stroke explanation which was brilliant. Just a fellow Bosnian from America sending his regards and praise for a great channel like this. Makes me proud that there are people in Bosnia succeeding like this.
Very cool tour! I now know a bit more about your corner of the world and it actually looks pretty beautiful there. Thanks for your time huffing and puffing on the bike!
Wonderful Video brother...I do enjoy your contents...but this was certainly very refreshing....contrary to your country mine is EXTREMELY populous ....so it was nice to see biking through streets without bumping into constant flow of people..ha ha ha...Keep enlightening us...love and respect from Bangladesh
Thank you for this, I really enjoyed learning about you, your city, and your country. And I am crazy about your voice; I could listen to you reading the phone book two hours a day.
Nice video, i got to drive through Bosnia on my way to Dubrovnik. I read alot about the wars and i think the sarajevo siege was something out of this world, especially regarding recent european history...i like the balkans so much that i started learning serbian :) Hvala i Veliki Pozdrav iz Rumunije
Awesome job! I sold my 89 MR2 on Christmas Eve last year. I found it on a job I was on and it was a one owner low mileage and I asked the lady if she as selling, thinking she would ask $1500 or so. She wanted four grand but it was perfect. I forgot about it but last year I texted her husband and asked if they still had it and they had. When I went to buy it she wanted five grand! Haha, anyway I kept it and drove it a bit but it was a bit small and slow. Handled nice though. I had it advertised for about six months when finally a guy showed up, the lead tech at the local Ferrari dealership. He liked it and now he is the owner . Sorry for novel, good luck buddy
I'm a huge fan of your channel, always questioned myself where is all the nice scenery footage is comming from. Finaly, this video found me 😊 I really hope I can get a chance to visit soon.
Cable lift car ride view looks amazing. That is a nice bike threadless headset, disc brakes, suspension forks, trigger lever shifters good choice. Maybe it would be worth custom mounting calipers, pads and rotors to something that's readily available around you. Thanks for the information and guide through the city.
Old video but just came across your channel. very cool thank you for this, I always like to learn about different places. Your English is excellent btw.
Wow! this was really awesome! I really enjoyed this! Definetly going to visit Sarajevo one day after seeing this! I need to find out how that bobsleigh-track really ends! Svar
Great to know this, I have wondered where you live (or came from). Your vocabulary and spoken English is much better than most Americans! Weird old cars rock, I still drive my first car, a 1967 Chevrolet Corvair. Fantastic channel and content, keep up your excellent work.
When you are talking about the political problems, it reminds me of my old country of Greece. Definitely going to visit your country at some point in the near future. Most countries in the Balkans are blessed in land, natural resources and climate, but also cursed on the politicians side. That was a great video!
Thanks for making this video, it was really interesting to see the city. I have never seen it before and I knew very little about the country. I watch you MR2 videos as I also have an AW11 which I am working on. And you English is amazing, did you spend some time in the UK?
Driving 4 Answers. Hi-ya Mister 2, a fascinating video, interesting and with facts that I didn't know. For instance: the 3-way cultural split dividing communities by religion? Three prime-ministers?! Three types of architecture? I remember the 1984 Winter Olympics held in Sarajevo, then part of Yugoslavia, mainly for the gold medal for figure skating won by Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean of Great Britain. Everyone here (those who are old enough!) remembers their 'Bolero' dance routine as breathtaking and unique. It broke the record for the largest U.K. television audience - over 20 million - and gained the highest judges' marks ever; many perfect 6.0s for technical and all perfect 6.0s for artistic interpretation. I was so shocked just eight years later in 1992 to see such a beautiful country ripped apart by war. Ordinary people in a smallish city - as you say - "surrounded by mountains" but back then, mountains filled with artillery and mortars. The Siege of Sarajevo was live on TV every night. Burning high-rise buildings and people just queuing for water or bread being picked out by snipers' rifles. Your city appears to have recovered remarkably well and nothing now is visible to mark out such a destructive and brutal period. Very clean streets, new buildings, good and well-surfaced roads (hooray for that). It seems hard to believe it ever happened. Perhaps it was all just a bad dream... Best to you from a well-wisher here in the English countryside of Wiltshire, just a hop, skip and a jump from another historic place that you may know of - Stonehenge.
Yes, I was young back then but in the early 90s I would hear about Sarajevo regularly on the 8'ocklcok news in France (where i was raised). I'm glad this place has seemingly recovered from its war-torn days
Great video! Thanks for all the info on what I thought was a war torn area of the world. It's really beautiful and I'd now love to visit one day. I can see how proud you are of your home country and you should be. Thank you for the tour! Oh one last thing... Now we know where you live... We still don't know your name? Keep up your amazing videos.
I gotta keep something secret :) But it's kinda boring too. If you buy something from the d4a shop you end up seeing my full name on the envelope, so I'm wrong, it's no secret as a lot of ppl know it ready. It will probably slip my tongue sooner or later :)
@@d4a my name is boring too. I'm sure everyone would like to put a name to the face. I always have to say "this guy on you tube". Hey, all that's important is you keep doing what you're doing. Keep it up! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you so much, lovely video , and it give a little view into your life, a soul burning for automotive technology, I smile as I used to be the same kind, but now old I refuse to touch anything, and realized it's not necessary, bought a used MC 15 years ago Chinese junk, 400 km was all it had driven, believed it wouldn't last, so I refused to spend any money on it, now 15 years later it runs like new, never changed the oil only top up, Changed the chain but not sprocket, and a few light bulbs, brake pads disk that's, it. Boy was I mistaken , start first time every time. Now think oil change are a marketing trick , and not needed, heard Paris taxi never change oil just filter, and top up, and they go 1 million km Modern cars are garbage their electronic nothing but problems, ( pine hollow auto diagnostic) happy car manufacturers don't make airplanes 😁 peace on earth so many lovely people. Don't believe nationalist, or religious people, it's dangerous nonsense
Ja sam takodjer pozitivno iznenadjen da si ti moj zemo. Toliko znanje oko motora i svega ostalog je fascinantno. 1m pretplatnika a malo si poznat u Bosni i oklici, keep that low profile bro. :D
Pa komšija nisam imao pojma da si iz Sarajeva, a gledam ti kanal godinama. Ne postoji bolji kanal koji objasnjava princip rada motora ali i ostalih komponenti. Prvi put sam te vidio kada sam trazio šta je to crossplane motor koji je na yamaha R1 :D
Im Polish, born and raised in Sweden, and as a young person, I could pull the "race" card and make my immigrant background a "sensitive" issue. But an economist who I respect a lot, also an immigrant talked about the immigrant/Swedish friction and his opinion was that: us immigrant, shouldnt be too sensitive about subjects like migration, foreign background, or even overt racism. (for non-europeans). With that said, I understand the question being "irrelevant" to one who lives on the "internet" like driving4Answers does, but I have to repeat what Tino Sanandaji said: dont be too sensitive. Our origin doesnt change anything about ourselves, people are curious, and its an interesting topic. Obviously this flies in the face of post-modernists, who will go ape-shit when they read my post, but Ive found it to be a very helpful attitude to have.
I like going out from routine, this is a nice video, I was surprised of your location as I've wandered about the idea that you were living somewhere near Russia, The world is very quiet about Bosnia so it's nice having your perspective from it. What do you do for a Living?.. I mean, you are not a full time mechanic but a Slave to your MR2 instead as many of us are hahaha, But seriously if your Job allows some time off please come to Costa Rica and I'll tour you around in my MR2, also you may get to know the MR2 community around here as well as the car community in general. -Some more content to your Channel as it will include MR2 material hehe
I just googled Costa Rica. Really cool place, totally in the forefront of the region when it comes to many things. Kudos! I would really love to take you up on your offer and come one day. Maybe when the channel is bigger and I can pay for the ticket with UA-cam revenue :) I used to be in development projects funded by various international organizations in my country, but I honestly disliked it and abandoned that field about 7 months ago and am now some sort of UA-camr/ parts seller/ freelancer/ I have no idea what, but it feels great so far :)
Cool video, I enjoyed it. Do people drink tea in the Balkans? I don't drink a sip of coffee, only Tea. And when we went on a holiday trio to France we had to take tea with because the type of tea is not common in other places. And it's my preferred tea to drink. Red bush tea is literally the direct translation. And after Googling I found out it only grows in my Country. 😆😅 Normal tea is fine, but I prefer Red bush. It is also considered very healthy, but it might be a old wives tale.
Excellent, Thanks for the background on your city mate. I enjoy your engineering vids. We had a lot of “Yugos” emigrate to western Australia in the late sixties and 70s that worked on getting our iron ore mining industry going. Bloody good welders and fabricators as well as being a hell of a lot of fun.👍
Show us the Pyramids! Do some Herze donuts! Do some Urban Explores of abandoned, historical places, or just creepy places. I did something similar and set the bar spectacularly low :-D Glad it's not California, they need maps to avoid ****
You're reading my mind! I have just one such place I really like and I want to go there with the aw11 and film it :) I've been to the pyramids, honestly I'm still kinda ambiguous about them. Not much to show until they dig more stuff out if you ask me.
I'm skeptical about the Bosnian pyramids as well. You're in a good position to show them because of that. I.E. you don't already have a bias on them, so you can show both sides fairly, credibly. You're supposed to ask what's a Herze donut, then someone punches you in the shoulder and says Herze? Donut? (Hurts don't it.)
Ha! Glad I didn't ask :) Good one tho. I might shoot a vid on the piramyds, but will need some serious lighting gear, it's dark in there. Kinda damp too.
Being finnish myself, I doubted that coffee drinking per capita "guess" so to speak. So I actually checked. According to the "International Coffee Organisation" Finland is number one with 12kg per capita per year. Bosnia and Herzegovina does however come 11th at 6.1kg. I thought you may find it interesting anyhow. Regarding the video, it was quite interesting to learn about Sarajevo. I didn't know much at all. And the government stuff you talked about I can sympathize with, even though Finland probably isn't half as bad! Suppose I should actually be thankful things here aren't even worse off. There's only a couple of cities with architectural history like Sarajevo, atleast ones spanning further than 100 years. It seems like an interesting place!
Thanks for the coffee stats! I never would have guessed Finland is number 1! Amazing. At 12kg it's double of B&H. Is it filtered in Finland? But it doesn't matter if its filtered if they measure in kilos right? Hmmm. I really like these sort of oddball stats as you can see. Thanks for digging it up :) A country with somewhat similar issues when it comes to politics is Belgium as far as I know, there are probably some others out there. Also, the 4age seems to be really alive in Finland? I sold half a dozen of my crankshaft brackets there.
Yeah it's filtered coffee over here. I'd say that gives some leeway in comparison to B&H if you have it mostly unfiltered. 4age in Finland is pretty common. We got the AE86 as a zenki coupe model. It is more notably used in rallying over here, and it's known just as a GT Corolla. The AE86 "scene" in Finland is comparable to the UK-spec 86's I suppose. More euro-oriented. I don't think we got any hatchbacks and certainly not truenos, originally. There are some imports in Finland though. And FWD 4age's can be found on the regular. But we never got the 20 valve either. But there are a few importers of engines, drivetrains and cars. Sadly not really parts / wheels or little stuff like that. Not that I know of.
NGL the first time I saw one of your videos, I thought you were Italian because of how you moved your hands around. I guess that tradition carried across the Adriatic
I just really like your videos ! Plus all the information you put out there ... That being said I need to locate a distributor bebuild kit like the one you bought for you car ... My car is a 83 Corolla , engine is a 1.6 4ag .. Any help would be appreciated...
I learned alot from your comprehensive videos, which shows how you know how to distinguish between truth and fabrications, i can't belive someone with this wise mentality could say @20:01
It's called having an open mind. It's a part of my city, my childhood, and thousands of different memories. Wisdom means seeing all the colors of the world and appreciating them all and seeking beauty in all of them rather than imprisoning yourself in a world of black and white, right and wrong. Passing judgements and labeling everything the straightest road to narrow-mindedness
@@d4a Thanks for reading and replying as always.. I imprasie the idea of seeing all the colors i encourage you to do so in this subject 👍. I see Wise definition is to put things in there deserved place just like the way you analysed novel engines and greenwashed "claims".... Etc Thank you ❤️
Cool video. I also wondered what cave you live in but that's a pretty nice place. I don't drink coffee because I had a Star bucks coffee once which sent me to the ER and basically shot my blood pressure to the roof. So that's the reason I don't care for coffee myself. Ironically my grandfather was a coffee grower. I'm also there with you on that stamina thing. It sucks because now I can't do much of anything due to the health but still trying to get back to normal. So keep biking it just takes time. My mountain bike is in storage so I know that feeling.
Ja jos ne vjerujem da u Sarajevu ima ovako kvalitetan kanal. Svaka čast

very positive and calm man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the video
Great video! Much better than Rick Steves. Thanks for the little travelogue
What a beautiful city! Thanks for the video. :)
Very interesting D4A, Swansea City here in the South West Wales in the U.K
Great video! Thanks for all the info on what I thought was a war torn area of the world. It's really beautiful and I'd now love to visit one day. I can see how proud you are of your home country and you should be. Thank you for the tour! Oh one last thing... Now we know where you live... We still don't know your name? Keep up your amazing videos.
I gotta keep something secret :) But it's kinda boring too. If you buy something from the d4a shop you end up seeing my full name on the envelope, so I'm wrong, it's no secret as a lot of ppl know it ready. It will probably slip my tongue sooner or later :)
@@d4a my name is boring too. I'm sure everyone would like to put a name to the face. I always have to say "this guy on you tube". Hey, all that's important is you keep doing what you're doing. Keep it up! Thanks for the inspiration.
When the car is fixed, please do a night touge/cruise!
Will do for sure!
@@d4a welp, now you can 😁
Reminds me of New Zealand a bit
climate greenery
Great video thankyou 👍
Thank you so much, lovely video , and it give a little view into your life, a soul burning for automotive technology, I smile as I used to be the same kind, but now old I refuse to touch anything, and realized it's not necessary, bought a used MC 15 years ago Chinese junk, 400 km was all it had driven, believed it wouldn't last, so I refused to spend any money on it, now 15 years later it runs like new, never changed the oil only top up, Changed the chain but not sprocket, and a few light bulbs, brake pads disk that's, it. Boy was I mistaken , start first time every time. Now think oil change are a marketing trick , and not needed, heard Paris taxi never change oil just filter, and top up, and they go 1 million km
Modern cars are garbage their electronic nothing but problems, ( pine hollow auto diagnostic) happy car manufacturers don't make airplanes 😁 peace on earth so many lovely people. Don't believe nationalist, or religious people, it's dangerous nonsense
Thanks for sharing. This was a lot more educational than the sexy masonry video. 😃
Don't tell me you haven't learned any amazing dance moves from the sexy masonry vid :)
Ja sam takodjer pozitivno iznenadjen da si ti moj zemo. Toliko znanje oko motora i svega ostalog je fascinantno. 1m pretplatnika a malo si poznat u Bosni i oklici, keep that low profile bro. :D
Pa komšija nisam imao pojma da si iz Sarajeva, a gledam ti kanal godinama. Ne postoji bolji kanal koji objasnjava princip rada motora ali i ostalih komponenti. Prvi put sam te vidio kada sam trazio šta je to crossplane motor koji je na yamaha R1 :D
Im Polish, born and raised in Sweden, and as a young person, I could pull the "race" card and make my immigrant background a "sensitive" issue. But an economist who I respect a lot, also an immigrant talked about the immigrant/Swedish friction and his opinion was that: us immigrant, shouldnt be too sensitive about subjects like migration, foreign background, or even overt racism. (for non-europeans).
With that said, I understand the question being "irrelevant" to one who lives on the "internet" like driving4Answers does, but I have to repeat what Tino Sanandaji said: dont be too sensitive.
Our origin doesnt change anything about ourselves, people are curious, and its an interesting topic. Obviously this flies in the face of post-modernists, who will go ape-shit when they read my post, but Ive found it to be a very helpful attitude to have.
Fantastic
Very cool!
I like going out from routine, this is a nice video, I was surprised of your location as I've wandered about the idea that you were living somewhere near Russia, The world is very quiet about Bosnia so it's nice having your perspective from it.
What do you do for a Living?.. I mean, you are not a full time mechanic but a Slave to your MR2 instead as many of us are hahaha, But seriously if your Job allows some time off please come to Costa Rica and I'll tour you around in my MR2, also you may get to know the MR2 community around here as well as the car community in general. -Some more content to your Channel as it will include MR2 material hehe
I just googled Costa Rica. Really cool place, totally in the forefront of the region when it comes to many things. Kudos! I would really love to take you up on your offer and come one day. Maybe when the channel is bigger and I can pay for the ticket with UA-cam revenue :) I used to be in development projects funded by various international organizations in my country, but I honestly disliked it and abandoned that field about 7 months ago and am now some sort of UA-camr/ parts seller/ freelancer/ I have no idea what, but it feels great so far :)
driving 4 answers -Sure thing! You are very welcome here.
Cool video, I enjoyed it.
Do people drink tea in the Balkans?
I don't drink a sip of coffee, only Tea.
And when we went on a holiday trio to France we had to take tea with because the type of tea is not common in other places.
And it's my preferred tea to drink.
Red bush tea is literally the direct translation. And after Googling I found out it only grows in my Country. 😆😅
Normal tea is fine, but I prefer Red bush. It is also considered very healthy, but it might be a old wives tale.
9:28 a pistacio 1st gen Fabia spotted in Bosnia!💚
Interesting how a car guy creates more interest in history to me than any of my history teachers 😂😂😂
Excellent,
Thanks for the background on your city mate.
I enjoy your engineering vids.
We had a lot of “Yugos” emigrate to western Australia in the late sixties and 70s that worked on getting our iron ore mining industry going.
Bloody good welders and fabricators as well as being a hell of a lot of fun.👍
I thought you lived in portugal
babes everywhere over there!
Great stuff.
Show us the Pyramids! Do some Herze donuts! Do some Urban Explores of abandoned, historical places, or just creepy places. I did something similar and set the bar spectacularly low :-D Glad it's not California, they need maps to avoid ****
You're reading my mind! I have just one such place I really like and I want to go there with the aw11 and film it :) I've been to the pyramids, honestly I'm still kinda ambiguous about them. Not much to show until they dig more stuff out if you ask me.
I'm skeptical about the Bosnian pyramids as well. You're in a good position to show them because of that. I.E. you don't already have a bias on them, so you can show both sides fairly, credibly. You're supposed to ask what's a Herze donut, then someone punches you in the shoulder and says Herze? Donut? (Hurts don't it.)
Ha! Glad I didn't ask :) Good one tho. I might shoot a vid on the piramyds, but will need some serious lighting gear, it's dark in there. Kinda damp too.
I would like to have picnic in Ilıdja in spring. Greetings from Turkey.
Being finnish myself, I doubted that coffee drinking per capita "guess" so to speak. So I actually checked. According to the "International Coffee Organisation" Finland is number one with 12kg per capita per year. Bosnia and Herzegovina does however come 11th at 6.1kg. I thought you may find it interesting anyhow. Regarding the video, it was quite interesting to learn about Sarajevo. I didn't know much at all. And the government stuff you talked about I can sympathize with, even though Finland probably isn't half as bad! Suppose I should actually be thankful things here aren't even worse off. There's only a couple of cities with architectural history like Sarajevo, atleast ones spanning further than 100 years. It seems like an interesting place!
Thanks for the coffee stats! I never would have guessed Finland is number 1! Amazing. At 12kg it's double of B&H. Is it filtered in Finland? But it doesn't matter if its filtered if they measure in kilos right? Hmmm. I really like these sort of oddball stats as you can see. Thanks for digging it up :) A country with somewhat similar issues when it comes to politics is Belgium as far as I know, there are probably some others out there. Also, the 4age seems to be really alive in Finland? I sold half a dozen of my crankshaft brackets there.
Yeah it's filtered coffee over here. I'd say that gives some leeway in comparison to B&H if you have it mostly unfiltered. 4age in Finland is pretty common. We got the AE86 as a zenki coupe model. It is more notably used in rallying over here, and it's known just as a GT Corolla. The AE86 "scene" in Finland is comparable to the UK-spec 86's I suppose. More euro-oriented. I don't think we got any hatchbacks and certainly not truenos, originally. There are some imports in Finland though. And FWD 4age's can be found on the regular. But we never got the 20 valve either. But there are a few importers of engines, drivetrains and cars. Sadly not really parts / wheels or little stuff like that. Not that I know of.
NGL the first time I saw one of your videos, I thought you were Italian because of how you moved your hands around. I guess that tradition carried across the Adriatic
I just really like your videos !
Plus all the information you put out there ...
That being said I need to locate a distributor bebuild kit like the one you bought for you car ...
My car is a 83 Corolla , engine is a 1.6 4ag ..
Any help would be appreciated...
I got mine from Neil Jones in the uk. Just google mr2 mk1 spares or google kbox engineering they sell one too. Thank you, glad you like the vids :)
answers thank you ...
searched for this just because i was curious where you accent is from
What do u do for a living,
I learned alot from your comprehensive videos, which shows how you know how to distinguish between truth and fabrications,
i can't belive someone with this wise mentality could say @20:01
It's called having an open mind. It's a part of my city, my childhood, and thousands of different memories. Wisdom means seeing all the colors of the world and appreciating them all and seeking beauty in all of them rather than imprisoning yourself in a world of black and white, right and wrong. Passing judgements and labeling everything the straightest road to narrow-mindedness
@@d4a Thanks for reading and replying as always..
I imprasie the idea of seeing all the colors i encourage you to do so in this subject 👍.
I see Wise definition is to put things in there deserved place just like the way you analysed novel engines and greenwashed "claims".... Etc
Thank you ❤️
Can you also make a video on exhaust manifolds either stock or aftermarket and maybe and exhaust set up video too. Thank you.
I always assumed you were from your garage. That's where I'm from.
Poznaješ Dragona?
I always wondered but never asked 😂
I like ur hair.. looking good here
Cool video. I also wondered what cave you live in but that's a pretty nice place. I don't drink coffee because I had a Star bucks coffee once which sent me to the ER and basically shot my blood pressure to the roof. So that's the reason I don't care for coffee myself. Ironically my grandfather was a coffee grower. I'm also there with you on that stamina thing. It sucks because now I can't do much of anything due to the health but still trying to get back to normal. So keep biking it just takes time. My mountain bike is in storage so I know that feeling.
So how did you learn English so well?
odakle ti mr2 u bosni majketi?
ima li neko ae86 ili nešto slično?
Kupio... Majkemi. Ne znam za ae86, al ima golf 2, to ti je isto.

Gratis sve preko mjesne zajednice i crvenog krsta ;)
