Back on it at last! The team is reunited and sets to cleaning up parts of the lorry cab for repair - but first they will have to spend a few days moving junk and resurrecting ancient machinery!

"I have a plan for this!" "Yeah. Does it involve the digger?" isn't that far off though! Or his final words: "The important thing's now: which hedge do we put these in for the next two years?"

Mark must love having you as a friend max, gets to come round and play with all the your toys. When I was a kid I had a friend who lived 3 doors down who’s dad bought him all the good stuff like swimming pool, bouncy castle, a proper football goal with line markings on his lawn and we all basically lived at his house. I can only imagine it being like that 🤣

Just binge watched the entire Project Awesome series for no specific reason other than it's totally nuts and entertaining in a uniquely 'eccentric brit' way. One unexpected bonus for me (and I'm not sure Max will like this...) is that I make scale millitary models, and Project Awesome provides a fantastic opportunity to observe a timelapse of how a millitary paint job fades and weathers. I totally admire your crazy dedication and look forward to the day that it's all done and finished! (Oh except that bit still needs fixing and I'll have to replace this other bit after I've done whatever it is that I need to do to make that other bit work, and... well that shouldn't have just happened!). All power to you guys... long live Project Awesome!!

As someone that suffers from OCD neat freakomnia and runs naked in his fields when he see's a wardrobe in colour, style and length format with shoes to match at its base. This video was a horror movie for me. On the other hand it was very funny and fascinating at the same time, not the engineering parts but how Marks hair and beard survived being sucked into those moving parts. I shall now go and shower. Keep it up boys. Bravo!.

Always worth it to see a rare Soviet beastie in all her glory, you should do a spares run to somewhere like the Chernobyl exclusion zone where abs stacks of abandoned Zim's lay there. All radiation free but just rusting quietly.

Project Awesome is too awesome to remain a project. The world is a smidge better for having people like you two in it. Dance electronica church organ music on a cold war truck built in a forest.... is, well, inspirational. Please fix it or explain what the sticking points are; someone might be able to help overcome a hurdle. Best of luck in all your endeavors.

Well this illustrates a problem we all encounter from time to time, a straightforward project needs a week of tidying up sorting out and finding things first. At least you had a willing helper and the banter was helping to pass the time as you dug back to the generator set...

@d-anger-noodle 3 года назад

I get the feeling that Mark has a lot of anxiety being on your property with everything thrown around. He's in a video and suddenly engines are properly stored on pallets, strapped down and moved (inside a building?) and other things are moved around the yard and things look more tidy. Poor Mark and his anxiety 😂😂😂
