    I only stumbled across your videos recently - I like your style(s)’, the approach is is refreshingly different from others who specialise in the same subject. All I can say is; keep them coming along - after all variety, they say, is the ‘spice of life’. R.D.

    The old set expectation correctly with photos to start.
    I was on micro 4/3rd cameras for ages with SD cards ( like a DSLR )
    Insane how easy the job is these days, once on iPhone 11 I'd never take anything but a pic with a camera phone now!

I'd be interested in some newer car videos with your thoughts on what they are like. Everyone likes a cheap car vid but honest reviews of any car are really useful to the buying public. Keep it up 👍

    Interesting that you are having a problem hiring a mechanic, getting decent tradesmen these days is a bit of a mare.
    I suspect we are not far away from cars that self diagnose completely so all you will need is... anyone who can work a spanner. 🤔

    Do you have an accountant? Buy another recovery vehicle, horses, send a car for scrap, £10 on cake, check £20. Make £600 on a car? Not going to retire early

    • @ShiftingMetal
      @ShiftingMetal  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have 2 accountants actually. What would I want to retire for, I don't like golf or gardening. The horses aren't mine, but the agricultural land I've developed into an equestrian centre and B8 storage site is though. £600 profit on a car isn't normal, retail stuff would normally be at least double that but you're right, treating my staff to £20 worth of cake is going to derail my finances lol
