    The increase in price for Invacars is probably due to some bloke on UA-cam called Ian making them interesting!

    I'm sure that it's because many of us like to live vicariously through people like you. "You guys" (please read that with a suitable accent) make life more awesome.. Thank you.

    When you bought TWC I thought you'd seriously lost your mind, and I hated it. Now its my favorite member of the fleet. It just looks like oodles of fun to drive and it comes across just how much you enjoy driving it and how she cheers you up, and cheers other people up. Even that idle sounds makes her sound like a contented guinea pig chewing dandelion lol.

    Wonderful to see TWC out on an adventure. It was TWC that hooked me on HubNut in the first place, and I just loved how driving TWC completely changed your mood; that's what cars like TWC are all about, and why we own and drive them! We have nothing fun like these here in Canada, sadly, as I'd love to own one. TWC has the most fabulous engine sound (love air-cooled engines), thank you. This made my day.

    So nice to see TWC get an Italian tune up.
    1:31 takes me back: the intent expression of someone starting a car with carburettor and manual choke, on a warm day, knowing it won't need much choke, and listening to see whether a smidgeon* is enough or whether it still needs a smidgeon and a half. Kids these days with their EFI. I shudder to think of what it will be like when they apply AI to engine control.
    * This is the way I spell it but the spell checker objects; I see Shorter Oxford lists it under "smidgen", whilst recording spellings "smidgin" (never heard of it) and "smidgeon". BTW, my optometrist, Chinese originally from Vietnam, when making fine alterations talks of adjusting something "smidgeonly." I enjoy having my eyes checked.

    This has absolutely made my day! Back in the 60s/70s my paternal Grandfather had one of these following a WW2 injury. My Dad has fond memories of crouching down in the front while being taken to school on rainy days! I'll have to send him this! I'm a wheelchair user and I have a highly adapted 2022 Ford Tourneo Custom that I drive using hand controls and a tiller not dissimilar to TWC's though the brakes are operated similar to a set up on a push bike. So it's great to see a very distant ancestor of my van's up close. Big fan of yours and if you're ever in Lincolnshire/Humberside, I'll happily show you all the adapted bits on the van.
