More bongs than a cafe in Amsterdam 🤣
More mongs than a cafe in Manchester
...urghh, this sticky keymoard!
Skin up ffs
These videos are great baked tbf
The parking brake is on the correct side when the steering wheel is on the correct side
For a laugh, next time you see a Landrover owner, say "I like your Jeep mate". For some reason, that really anoys them. I don't know why they are so competitive ;)
Hahaha
I do: Because they think their vehicles are more relia... oh wait, that can't be right
Jeeps are the brash, vulgar version of a classy, restraint landrover
Or...For a laugh, next time you see a JEEP owner, say "I like your Fiat mate".
In most of Africa, every SUV is referred to as a Jeep. It doesn't matter what make and model it is, if they see your SUV or crossover, they'll call it a jeep. It's kinda annoying.
I have this model and I absolutely love it. The fuel economy is great but I love the styling and much prefer this to a freelander. Love the channel
Thanks for sharing!
I want to buy this model 2006 , is good car? How is the fuel consumption. Please 🙏 advice me
My mum had one of the first right hand drive jeep Cherokees back in the late 90s. It had a great 4.0 petrol engine. Love the video
Those 4.0's were pretty good
@@HighPeakAutos Specialists in US get amazing BHP from the 4.0
Had a great one of those, brilliant car and every bit as good as a discovery of the same year.
A work colleague swore by these cars - he was on the Northumbria Mountain Rescue team and often said these cars can go anywhere and its like driving around in your own front room.
His last one had the Merc engine and, as you say, avg 27-28 mpg.
He liked holidays in remote places, especially Sweden - though I suspect he was seeking out the blonde girl from Abba.
Never went to San Francisco, so missed out on the loose oranges!
I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.7 liter V8 engine. Gas mileage is dismal (anywhere between 11 and 19 mpg) but it's very comfortable and capable in any type of weather. No need to change tires if I head up to Tahoe for some snow fun! (I'm in Northern California, and have all season tires). 213,000 miles and going strong. As to the handbrake, that's obviously from the left hand drive, Chrysler didn't bother to change it over to the right hand driver position for the UK.
The 5.7 hemi is the pick of the bunch, decent handling on the road due to firmer suspension. It still has all the off road features the SRT lacks. Pop on an LPG conversion and it's as cheap to run as the diesel but without the turbos, egr or DPF to go wrong. Also it's pretty quick when you need it to be and sounds glorious 😁
I ran a used MK 3 Grand Cherokee for three years, I loved it despite the fact that repairs cost me £6000 during that time, mostly engine related (MB 3.0 V6 diesel). Sold it with 65000 miles on the clock. The amazing thing with it though was it would still tow a 1500kg caravan at 60mph in limp mode!
I drive a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland and it's bloody brilliant. The reassuring Merc logos and part numbers all over the engine and gearbox are very ... reassuring. I can forgive some cheap plastics. Been in a 2010 merc ML recently? They are not aging very well. And I'm a big merc fan. Yeah. The big Jeep is a decent old brute. Good video.
Haha, fully loaded like a bandits rifle! 🤣🤣 That deserves the extra subs you need for the 100k!
You could tell he was desperate to say it
you could review tea cups and i would still watch your videos cos you’re great at what you do👌
Thank you!
That I would pay to watch lol. High Peak Tea's.
Had the diesel 3.0 Merc engine ,great car then 5.7 litre HEMI with aftermarket exhaust and induction kit sounded like thunder what a beast great 4x4 for the money!
I’ve had my 2007 WK from new. It’s done 110,000 miles with only service parts. Still looks like new and drives beautifully. No way I’d let mine go for 3k or even 5k come to that. She’s a keeper
hey matt awesome video, i have a 2006 crd which i bought 3 years ago for £1500 with 140k on the clock and its been nothing short of fantastic, all ive done is a set of tyres/discs and pads and a full big service. ive been everywhere in it and it has never let me down.
you say about interior quality, ok so its plasticy and chunky but it wears very well and everything has a purpose. my favorite bit inside are the visual parking aids on the dash and rear roof (visible from rear view mirror) what an awesome idea.
i do have a soft spot for the 6.1 srt so if one comes up for the right price then its mine lol.
i believe i sent you some pics of my crd for the latest rate my ride you did along with my impreza.
keep up the good work and stay safe
I used to sell Jeep/ Chrysler brand new around 2007-2009 and they were a massively underrated product. I would have a Grand Cherokee without hesitation if I wanted an SUV. As you said, great value for money!
I have always liked the styling on these, I like the look of boxy off-roaders like these, also someone in my town has 2 of these 1 of which with a 5.7L hemi V8
They sound great
Someone, eh?
Don’t tell me - he lives in the same road as you in a remarkably similar house? 😁
most develop a noisy rear diff around 180.000km because the fluid wasnt changed every 30k leading to an expensive rebuild. ppl coming from a hatchback arent aware thats a thing you maintain
"Most Jeep Cherokee owners won't test them to the limits" - no kidding.
Being originally built as a Left hand drive Yank Tank I'm guessing that they kept the handbrake on the that side as a cost cutting measure for RHD export models. Keep up the good work fella.
Yup, my 2007 (Canadian) WK handbrake is were it should be.
Obviously, Chrysler was too cheap to bother moving it🙁
The previous gen that i had had the handbrake on the passenger side, even though it was a left hand drive us model. I never saw that as a negative thing, because im tall and it was more comfortable for me
Always loved the Grand Cherokee and have had three of them, two 4 litre and one 4.7 V8, great cars
You didn't count on your fingers for "Facebook, Instagram, Twitter". You're slipping man!
I'll try better next time
COMMENTING AFTER WATCHING:
Great entertaining review as always.
I still think they're 💩
Haha thanks for giving it the benefit of the doubt anyway :)
The US and Canada only did the Mercedes CRD powered Jeep in 2007 & 2008. They're as rare as rocking horse shit, in A1 with low miles. A local Jeep dealer has a 82k miles for 7k GBP. There are lots of later ones with the Italian GM diesel, but too many issues with that engine.
Those are the VM Motori engines. Those are known for being very unreliable. They had to recall cars with the 3.0 EcoDiesel engine in Jeeps, Chryslers, Dodge, because they caught fire apparently in the US. London taxis had those engines from 2006 to 2017 they used the VM Motori 2.5 CRD engine also used in some Chrysler group vehicles and LDV vans and they were also known for being extremely unreliable people had to change sensors from new in London taxis they caught fire so they had to recall the list goes on and on
@@terrificspokesman7416 Good old 'auto correct' changed my VM to GM. I had a diesel Range Rover, in the 90's, with a VM. Good performance when it was working, but too many problems with the separate cyl. heads and cooling.
@@glynpayne4393 Yes good old auto correct. I didn't know they put the VM engines in the Range Rover. What year was it? Was it a P38 or Classic. In the P38 they used a BMW Straight six diesel and the classic used the very reliable Land Rover Tdi engine
@@terrificspokesman7416 It was a classic. I had three altogether. '83 had a Nissan Cabstar diesel in it. Excellent motor. Then a G reg. With VM. Finally a LSE, which I had an lpg conversion. Diesels are harder to find over here (Canada) but I'll always choose a diesel.
@@glynpayne4393 OK. Diesels are more fuel efficient which is a benefit. Fuel is alot cheaper in Canada than the UK
i’ve been in the srt8. It is insane! The way it puts its power down is just mental. 6.1 naturally aspirated i belive. It sounds amazing too
When I lived in Canada I owned two Grand Cherokee Limiteds. The first was the 3.6litre V6 which was absolutely brilliant. I drove it for three years from new then switched it for a 5.7 litre V8. I quickly found I didn’t need the extra power as the 3.6 was more than adequate and the 5.7 was so thirsty you couldn’t pass a petrol station. It cost me a fortune in fuel so I got rid of it after a couple of years. I really enjoyed the vehicles. They were great to drive, just like driving a big comfortable car and really well equipped. They were, however, Chryslers and the finish quality was a bit iffy so you had to get use to the rattles and squeaks and the occasional bit falling off. All in all though great cars and as you said incredible value.
I loved my WK (CRD) but by god are they poorly engineered, and you know what, everything that failed on mine was a Merc part. I loved it though and I miss mine, wish I had the Hemi but difficult to get hold of in the UK, hoping the new ones have a petrol option again...I've heard they'll have a Hybrid option too...sign of the times I guess.
98.6k subscribers!! Nearly at the 100k mark matey congratulations, I remember my neighbour having a purple cheroke and it was rusty as hell, always thought it was such a cool big car to own especially being a child seeing my neighbour drive this as a daily
So close! Thanks!
I've not owned one but certainly like them.
I have a 2005 CRD and I love it
They are bulletproof right up until you drive them through 4 ft of water!! I’ve just got mine back with a new engine - still love it but I’ll get a snorkel if I’m off-roading again!
Run a Jeep if you don’t want to pay the inflated prices other brands now charge and require 4x4 capability.
Laughed when you mentioned Pocklington, went there 3 years in a row in a caravan.
😂
I'm in the states and have a 2004 WJ. The handbrake is annoyingly on the passenger side(but I still love it). You guys got to have it on the "correct" side in the WJ. In this WK it was our turn to have it on our "correct" side. :D
Not sure what you mean - my JGC Overland had a central handbrake.
Weird.
More Bongs than a cafe in amsterdam. Love it !!. Unlike the cherokee Yank tank . No thanks
E63 diesel 😅 I saw the more doug vid before so immediately was thinking this sounds familiar.
I would like to see a fleet update for 100k. And it would listen in on this guy if he had a stereo podcast
Good idea! Thanks for watching. I nearly did the Stereo app thing but backed out at the last minute
I'm hoping the 100k review car is going to the be Aston Martin Vulcan you have parked around the back of your premises.
Haha I wish
@@HighPeakAutos and on the back of that, congratulations on 100k.
There's a reason they're 20% cheaper than rivals 😃
Yes, because the rivals are overpriced.
The reason, is that people fall the nonsense that Jeeps are not reliable. I have an 08 Jeep GD CRD. Never had a single problem over the 4 years I've owned it, that wasn't expected wear and tear. I'm thinking of upgrading the vehicle, but really struggling to find something better. I love my GC WH and enjoy driving it. Always feels nice. Have considered the newer WK2, but feel like its a gamble with those, because of engine issues. Many of the WK2 I hear run lke a dream for ever, while others detonate prematurely. For the money and even above, you can't find a 4WD SUV come close to the features and specs. That goes for the newer (WK/WK2)Jeep GC's too. But they do have some reliability issues with the engines. Seriously, compare. Pajeros, Prados and Landcruisers of that era did not come with reverse cameras, rain sensing wind screen wipers etc. Engines in the above are very under powered and still use more fuel than the GC. Towing capacity is not even close. Also considered the Landrover Discovery, but have heard bad things about expenses to maintain them and reliability.
I have an '07 Limited with the Hemi + Quadradrive II package, I bought it when it was 2 years old for a bit over half the original price. It turned out to be one of my favorite vehicles ever. Few problems for a 14 year old vehicle. I've done the starter, front diff bushings, rear pinion seal, a few brake jobs, shocks, and one of the power modules (totally integrated power module under the hood). Less problems than our older '98 Grand Cherokee 4.0. The power is great, the 4x4 system is great, day to day reliability is fine. Everyone is telling me to get a Wrangler or Gladiator but I am reluctant to give up my Hemi. Fast, comfortable, fairly roomy, great for any weather.
Congratulations on hitting 100,000 subscribers, which will be by mid-march.
Your channel is refreshing, with no ego and being another 'great northerner' on TH-cam.
Wow, thank you! Thanks for the support
A very nice comment 👍 tbh I think he will hit 100,000 by Tuesday of this coming week he`s only 200 short as we speak.
Thumbs up to the video ... and to the truck. I had an L322 Range Rover before I bought one of these (second hand, of course) and having been frustrated with the constant fixing of the Range Rover I'd delighted at how reliable and useful the Jeep is. I really need 3.5T towing capacity and as the video states, it will tow that all day long. It's also amazing in the snow even on road tyres. Thoroughly recommended and cheap as chips. It's just a shame about the tax band, having to pay the thieving lousy rotten stinking Government bastards over £500 a year.
The 3.7 litre Petrol was the Cherokee engine, not the Grand Cherokee (at least not in the UK). It is essentially the same engine with 2 pistons lopped off. Petrol you could get a 4.7 V8, a 5.7 V8 and the SRT version was a 6.1 V8, and the mpg on that is dreadful but not as bad as you might think. Certainly not 8mpg! I have a Cherokee KJ (Liberty in the US) with the 3.7 V6 - I love it. I know you hate it, but it's very good at what it does.
Really nice review in my opinion. The handbrake thing though is the price you pay for driving on the "wrong" side of the road :D. Jeep was could not be bothered to make center console layout for both left and right hand drives. They made only for left hand drive and stuck them in all models, irrespective of where the driver sits.
E-brake handle placement - You are driving on the wrong side mate. Mk1 - Mk3 had some dodgy transmissions. I had a Mk1 for 11 years. Great in the snow. Went anywhere.
Had one on a 06 plate for 5 years and it tugged my caravan like it wasn’t on the back. Just a bit thirsty but absolutely loved it.
I've owned 2005 model WH for a bit over 3 years now and absolutely love it. It has that 5.7 hemi in it, because I wanted a V8 even when the diesel would've been more sensible version considering our petrol is 2 euros/liter at the moment... 😬 But it's just so awesome vehicle and very much fun. Recently I lifted it and got hidden winch mount (and winch) waiting to be installed, since plan is to make it family overlander (with camper trailer behind it). I've been driving different vehicles for past 20 years and gotta say this WH certainly is the most fun I've ever had. Sure it's a Jeep and comes with certain problems, but when you consider it as a hobby-vehicle (despite being a daily) you really don't mind working on it, if you're into that stuff. And I am. No regrets 😁
I do like the mk4 so could you review that one next please.
Nice car and great review again 👍
I love my 2008 WH CRD and have done so for many years - I go off road as I'm a Gold prospector pulling a Camper. Brilliant in the bush and quick and smooth on the highway.
I’ve owned a 2007 WK Overland from new. It’s towed a 7m power boat all over Europe, recently I towed a 3 Ton sports cruiser to Greece. It’s never let me down and I’ve hardly spent anything on it in 16 years of ownership.
which engine do you have?
Unless actually needed - perhaps you’re a farmer, or live some where remote and hilly - can you ever really justify lugging almost two tons of steel around with you each time you go for a bottle of milk? if owners were really honest, what is their real rationale? Hobby car, maybe, but surely not a daily drive.
I like it a lot it’s one of those cars you just kind of forget was made which is a shame and they are so cheap to buy
More bongs than a cafe in Amsterdam>>>>>>brilliant>>>>>> really like that jeep>>>>👌👌👌👌
Great stuff as normal mate 🙏🙏 Bring on that 1000 k 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks! Fingers crossed!
My dad has the 5.7L Hemi V8 one, it's awesome but you get dizzy from the thing wobbling down the road with way too soft suspension :D It's too fast for its chassi.
Having owned my one for 14 years and 127,000 miles now, I totally agree, this is a good car to run as a daily driver and a long term investment
Just got 213K original freeway miles on my 2007 JGC Laredo Limited! Still runs strong well maintained and a keeper! Love her! 👍🏽
Have some neighbours who have 3 of these in black . Looks like a military base everytime they drive off !
They do look cool in black and crying out for a couple of little American flags on the wings!
Where has the other Grand Cherokee video gone??
Im really surprised, that you liked this, I thought you were going to say it was rubbish, just goes to show never judge a book by its cover.
I’ve always quite liked jeeps. They’re honest and great value
Having family in the North East USA I have driven several of these in all weather conditions. The thing I like the most is the beating they can take. Most Americans only visit a mechanic when something fully breaks or the car won't start and it's hard to get one of these to that state. I've driven a couple with a shagged gearbox, 300k miles and a lot of rust and they just keep going.
Very good point
Love ‘em, highly recommended. Go Overland spec though, def worth it.
I agree 100% love mine
Yes i get to give the first thumbs up 👍
Thanks!
@@HighPeakAutos now ive gotta go trawl Autotrader looking at Jeeps ! There goes my night 🌙
My mum had the SRT Grand Cherokee. It was a brilliant car
Another great review. ...
Matt....you could sell snow to Eskimos. ...& your jokes are funny too!.. Keep up the good work!
Bought a mk4 Grand Cherokee Limited S v6 diesel last month. Absolutely love it, so comfortable,comes with everything you need, amazed that even had a 30gb hard disk built in too. One other thing the road tax on this newer model is still only £330 too.
Love the videos, ‘burger van drivers’ classic quote 😛
Yeah thats right. I like them, genuinely
@@HighPeakAutos would love to seea video on the WK2 2012- onwards as im thinking about getting one and really value your reviews!!
I would still say MK I was the best looking of all, although not as good as Cherokee XJ
That Mercedes 3L engine they use does wonders
I had a 2004 Mk 2 GC (after a Disco 2) - by comparison - it was amazing value and a great family car. Personally preferred the looks over the Mk 3 but I agree that the new mk 4 looks great. Another great video Matt - 100k subs will be hit in no time
mk4 is so pretty, just wish it was a Merc engine again instead of that VM crap
Recently looked at the newer shape, very nice car. Great review Matt.
I actually had a 2009 Chrysler 300C SRT8 a couple of years ago, with that 6.1 V8 Hemi engine. What a machine. 0-60 in 5 seconds dead, with enough mid-range grunt to reverse the Earth's rotation. If it had been fitted with AWD or at least a LSD I have little doubt it would have been around 4 seconds 0-60. It was a bit like seeing Robbie Coltrane run a 9.5 second 100m sprint.
The 5 speed auto fitted to many Chryslers & Jeeps is from the W210 Merc E Class, a pretty bulletproof unit
The 3.0 CRD was available in North America for 2007 and 2008 only. It has the power of a V8 but the fuel consumption of a 6. None of the gas motors are as reliable as the CRD, and while they were not the popular motor when new, 90% of the WK still on the road now have the CRD badge on the back. The CRD was also about the last diesel that didn't/doesn't require the DEF (Diesel Emissions Fluid), something that drives diesel drivers crazy with the programed reduced power when the computer senses low DEF levels.
The Jeep Commander was the same size as the WK and had a third row seat, but wasn't offered with the CRD.
There's been a few David Dickinson references on the channel now..... David Dickinson as a guest on the channel for 100k subs??? "WHAT A BOBBY DAZZLER" 😂😂
I once saw him at the petrol station. He has a Bentley GTC Speed.
@@HighPeakAutos "117p per litre? WHAT A BOBBY DAZZLER!". To be honest I couldn't imagine him in anything else; working on his tan with his barnet blowing elegantly in the wind 🤣
@@mrboomboombaby 😂
tested 2 days ago with a 0/100kmh ( 0/60mph) app with gps speed calibration, and i did a nice 7.7sec with this engine !! i love this engine. and with a cool driving my fuel consumption is around 9.5l/100km (30mpg)
If i'm not mistaken, the underpinnings of the Grand Cherokee are from the Mercedes ML and GL of the period, a holdover from when Mercedes owned Chrysler for 5 minutes.
I have owned my 2005 for 7 years. have 240k miles on it and it runs great. for me it is easy to work on and I have rebuilt it from front to back and top to bottom. It didnt need it but i had a choice to either spend 40k for something newer or 5k for a complete rebuild. I did all the work so it was not expensive. The bad part for me is that nav/radio system. It broke years ago but no loss there.
Wow nearly 100k. I remember watching your early videos. I swear you've removed some of those 🤔
Thanks! Nope, they're still all there
I had one almost identical for 3 years. Used it for everything and all that went wrong was an abs sensor. EBay and all sorted. Good car but the earlier square ones are seriously going up in value!
I have come to believe that Jeep has become the brand that many love to hate and has lower resale prices because of the idea they are unreliable. I took a gamble on a cheap one of these and I believe the unreliable reputation is a fallacy. Lack of proper maintenance is a key issue but I think with some Jeep models, about 1 in 10 are a lemon car. . I have an 08 Jeep GD CRD. Never had a single problem over the 4 years I've owned it, that wasn't expected wear and tear. I'm thinking of upgrading the vehicle, but really struggling to find something better. I love my GC WH and enjoy driving it. Always feels nice. Have considered the newer WK2, but feel like its a gamble with those, because of engine issues. Many of the WK2 I hear run lke a dream for ever, while others detonate prematurely. For the money and even above, you can't find a 4WD SUV come close to the features and specs. That goes for the newer (WK/WK2)Jeep GC's too. But they do have some reliability issues with the engines. Seriously, compare. Pajeros, Prados, Patrols and Landcruisers of that era did not come with reverse cameras, rain sensing wind screen wipers etc. Engines in the above are very under powered and still use more fuel than the GC. Towing capacity is not even close. Also considered the Landrover Discovery, but have heard bad things about expenses to maintain them and reliability.
Another great video Matt, thank you. 👍
It's a vehicle that I've always liked it's looks, but always thought it looked as if it weighed about 10 ton and would do about 2 miles to the gallon, that's the main reason I never seriously considered one.
Thanks 👍 They're not bad on fuel really. No worse than anything else similar
Simple, do not buy. The Dealerships are NOT accepting trades-in Jeeps of any kind, including Jeep. Jeep Dealerships are NOT buying your Jeep back. Others don't want a Jeep on their lot. No value. Recalls from 2005-2023. Don't be dumb.
I have owned several off-roaders and Jeep GC pretty much beets them all and mk3 is among jeeps best! Its stylish, fast super comfy compared by rest and quadra drive will be az good as G-wagons. And rust is no issue too not mentioning that Mercedes diesel and gearbox are torkie and will last many miles with regular maintenance.
If the steering wheel was on the correct side, so would the hand brake, 😏
Shiny wood ONLY works in a Jag... That's it!! When will those doodle dandys learn??
Top vid again Matt👍
Haha thanks for watching
Used to have a silver srt park out front of the pub i used to work at years back and only today did a 6.4 new tuned srt just disappear at the lights! I’ve never seen anything move so fast just wow!
Why do people choose BLACK LEATHER ...??? It's HORRIBLE ... !!
That LHD handbrake bemused me too when I looked at one of these ...
I bought a 2008 facelift in August 2021 and love it, overland spec and fully loaded, I've had a couple of wj's and this is my first wk, looking forward to a snowy winter, the important thing is to have it fully serviced, diffs and transfer case requires special oils and additives if you have quadradrive2 system, elsd front and rear
Mk2 with 4.7litre petrol..looks good and 'gives' a good 'punch'.But for me(Shogun owner)-the Jeep Commander!!
Nope.
The steering wheel should be genuine Redwood.
Yes, the rest of it is plastic.
Try Rock Auto in Texas.
Got damn near everything, and at a good price.
Swirl motors, injectors, turbos, mounts and so-forth on the shitlist.
Forget the diesel, sorry.
Nasty, and expensive to repair - which you WILL need to do.
Same engine as fitted to the 300C diesel.
Horrid.
I had a 06 with the 3.7 complete junk. Unfortunately I missed it for some reason and got a 2007 which has been the biggest money pit I’ve ever owned, from the clunking front end noise even tho I have replaced the struts ball joints sway bar links and have had it inspected by 4 shops too which they said they can’t find anything wrong with it. Oh I almost forgot about the loud humming noise that starts at 40mph from the front differential, the terrible gas mileage, the cheap plastic interior, the terrible body roll, the list goes on. Garbage vehicles.
Living dangerously. Enjoy your good Chrysler reliability. They are the worst American car company. You might be better off with the Range Rover.
I like the dash. Didn't think I would but it looks alright.
These were built when Diamler owned Chrysler and it shows. The passenger side has the hand brake because that was set up for the American left side steering wheel. I bought this style Jeep new in 2006 thinking I would keep it a few years; I still have it.
Impressive how manufacturers don’t give a s*** to right side steering wheel. This central console only makes sense with left side driver position. 🤦🏻♂️
Handbrake is in the spot for US. Sad they don’t swap it over for RHD users.
I mean, they moved everything else. Lol why not the freaking e brake
you are complaining about the place of the hand brake...... Dude, that's because you're sitting in the passenger seat )))
I’ve had two and they’ve both been spot on. Mercedes 3.0 engine is powerful and reliable and the 4WD system does the business without being over complicated with endless choices. It’s a bit crude but gets down the road ok and is way more reliable than an LR Disaster as my next door neighbour will confirm. Just check out TH-cam vids of them off-road and they are beasts if you modify them.
Wouldnt recommend one.
Had one for 6 months before transfer box and rear diff issues.
The gear box specialist already had one in for rear diff and couldnt get the parts from jeep he point blank refused to touch my car.
In total the cost of repairs was in the region of 4k.
They are rubbish build quality only good part of this car was the v6 mercedes engine
I'm your latest subscriber.
Thing is with your videos, it takes a few to get used to your style, but once you're there you're there 😊 so once you get subscribers, you're unlikely to lose them.
This guy is great - so much better than Carwow Dingus Mat whosiwatsit. I drive this Jeep and he’s bang on - no one wants these Jeep’s so they are cheap as but they are so capable it feels like stealing. Good on you mate ….. more bongs than Amsterdam - he just gets better
