Today, our friend and Videographer, Ben has given us £2000 of his own money and tasked us with finding him a project car. Despite having spent the last 3 years filming us work on cars, he’s never even picked up a spanner, let alone owned his own project car.
A huge thanks to:

another bad sponsor 😔

@mclarenjohnf1 24 дня назад

That insurance quote I wonder what they would say if you said you put BC Racing Coilovers and a Scorpion Exhaust on it with a modified air intake and shift leaver. just asking as I have found them to be rather stupid recently. I also notice any carshop apart from Halfrauds has either vanished or everything is mail / pre-order.

@StephenButlerOne 24 дня назад

What's your problem with the sponsor? Is there a bad dark reason we should know about? or is it just your personal taste? If it's the latter, don't worry about it, as long as the lads are getting money to cover their wage and produce content at a profit for the company, I see it as a good thing. I have no interest in hipster beers or many things channels are sponcerd by, but the majority of them are just other companies also trying to make it in this terrible economy we are in. At the moment I don't think it's been harder to make a living on your own since the late 70s @@9wowable

@@mclarenjohnf1just don't get in an accident. Being that this is so public, and their is always some jealous people, I can see this video making its way to the insurer, one way of another. Given there are a number of channels now under the auto Alex umbrella, I'd assume they are looking at some form of trade insurance to try and cover all the employees on all of the vehicles. It could be subsidised by the company but you pay a nominal fee out of your wage. This could be a winner for all parties within the company. Maybe even the insurer could become a channel sponsor. A bit like MCM have with theirs. It's defo something I'd have someone (cough ...Taylor) pursuing.

@MrBinabanana 23 дня назад

I suspect the quote they got was without declaring any of the modifications they intended to make. Having inside knowledge on insurance schemes and loading, I imagine adding the coil-overs and exhaust would probably take it back up to £30k 🙁

@Dalbayob69 24 дня назад

Ben’s very natural in front of the camera. Definitely don’t mind seeing more of him. I think the insurance costs is what kills younger people’s interest in cars. They end up driving around in a car with 0.9l engine that you can’t work on. My 16y old son and me have started restoring a manual 1997 V70 T5. He thinks it’s going to be his first car 🤣🤣🤣 good luck with that🤦‍♂️ I’m not paying his insurance.
