Cheers!

No idea how to change the message. Have 10 bucks for some new shoes when you burn yours off

@@theb0mbsquad 🤣 most appreciated

They are lovely old things

Many ongoing improvements!

We’re going to be using them for the more planned videos, but a lot of what we do we film on the fly or just in a break from work so can’t use them for everything

@@fittermat Take a look at the Dutch channel: Werkplaatsvlog , Milo uses this microphone continous during work on his projects (T69 and T55) it really makes his videos a lot more fun to watch 😉 But also without this mics I really like your video's! A lot of fun between you guys and great machines!!

We try and run super wherever possible, the regular unleaded is no longer recommended for older engines, something to do with the new blend not being the best for older rubber pipes and seals

Ile see what I can do!

@@fittermat thank you

I have no idea but I will try and find out for you

We need to unseize them first

Probably cheaper to make it run on printer ink 😆

@@ianstarcroft Yea. or Greta's tears.

Dave crouch will be the man to ask

Well we’re not ones to break with tradition so will make sure to drink plenty of ‘water’ before driving it anywhere!

@@fittermat much 'water' and i thought y'd be more a babycham man or is that Jo haha

24v if I remember rightly

@@fittermat I think Christian mean for you to swop the B81 for 400v electric!

It’s on the to do list

It’s more a lack of time on our part, ideally an engine swap to something diesel would be the best thing for it but that’s only if we get the spare time to do it

@@fittermat Thanks for this Mat,.. I too restored / rebuild three Willys Jeeps over the years, and I can appreciate 'time', when you are busy at a 'day job'. How else can we afford to have a great hobby like this? :) All the best, and thank you too, for a really interesting channel here.

Standard Army solution. I am old enough to have been trained on the Bren gun. How do you cool the barrel down? Piss on it. I thought about that, if you had fired 500 rounds and changed the barrel and fired another 500 before the first barrel had cooled down, sound like you are in the middle of some sort of war, and standing up to piss on the barrel just seemed a strange activity with all the muck and bullets flying past your ear'oles.

The effectiveness of piss as fuel is directly related to how much cheap vodka you drank the night before

I would happily swap it for a scammel 😂

@@fittermat :D Absolute icon of a machine.

I was gonna say put a 12v71 detroit in it...

Your quite right

Burried

its on the list but a lot of the videos are filmed off the cuff and unplanned so we could only really use them on the more planned longer videos
