@@thelifeaquatica and so what if he is? Really so F-ing what? I support Trump !! And I support Waldo. So how about you go climb back into your liberal snowflake basement owned by your mom and dad, and enjoy your high gas prices and inflation. Elections have consequences and you are seeing them right now.
As someone who only knows the US from movies and tv it‘s great to see all those locations without all those stupid color filters. New England isn‘t gray, New Mexico isn‘t yellow, Montana isn‘t dull, absolutely marvellous.
Our country is very beautiful. Thanks for taking us along. Its great to see the Land Rover make it with barely an issue! Looking forward to more builds, too!
I am here for the mechanical and fabrication however, an occasional break like this is great. Especially when you are running with something I got to watch a series of repairs and troubleshooting on. Good stuff.
@@WaldosWorld Especially what I like is a bloke that goes right out his skin (comfort zone) and does something totally opposite to what he was actually taught and trained for, and then gets pretty good at it.👍
I also have a 17 year old LR3 that I have had from new. It has done 180,000 miles and has undergone full-scale crash testing by some of my kids. It is a marvelous vehicle and I would certainly trust it on another long road trip. It recently went cross-country from San Francisco to Houston towing a large, full, U-Haul trailer in a couple of days. It didn't miss a beat. They are GREAT vehicles.
It never fails.... You read some scary off-roading sign that acts like anything short of an Abrams tank isn't going to cut it... Then after driving 20 miles into the middle of nowhere, you see the dude with a 2wd econo box that's 2 inches off the ground.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I ended up stuck behind a mustang scraping his way through a bumpy and rutty NF road up here in Washington. Poor guy lol.
for a foreigner watching your videos I would say keep them coming! love to see how beautiful the United States is outside of cities... thanks for sharing your trip with us! greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Waldo…this was a fabulous adventure! I’m so glad you decided to go forward with it, especially with the, essentially, un-roadtested Rover! Thank you so much for taking us along and making us a part of your special journey! Hope you take us along again next time!
ive done 3 trips this year in my 06 LR3, total of 8500 miles and i did not get stranded even once! (well once but I was able to clear it with code reader). I have the original air suspension from 2005 and it did great both on and off road! This thing is perfect for road trips, as long as it is in good well taken cared condition!
I don't own a Land Rover, never intend to buy one and I'm not a mechanic.....however, I watched the entire series and loved every minute of it. Thanks so much, great channel!
Hi Waldo, from the UK, I find this kind of video great, not just from the technical Range Rover side of things but also from a touristic point of view, we have a friend who lives in Clorado and this has made us more determined than ever to get out there to spend some time with her.
What a great trip! Thank you for taking us all along with you. We live in such a beautiful country. Your LR held up pretty darn great. It looks big and pretty comfortable. After that trip you definitely get a good feel for a vehicle. Looking forward to more content!
Waldo, are you insane? Why would you take a 17 year old Land Rover on a cross country road trip, when you're probably going to break down and have to complete part of your journey on the back of a tow truck??
The "MASS AIR FLOW" --- is the sensor that is on the big intake tube, right after the air filter. It has a sensitive little sensor that can get a small piece of lint or bug or piece of grass, etc.. right onto the sensor, and mess it all up. You can pull them off easily, and look down inside it-- and you'll see a little resistor looking thing -- make sure there isn't anything obvious on that thing. and you can clean it out with some spray that evaporates, and it can work fine again many times. Sometimes, you can just unplug the MAF, and the car will run off of a pre-set default and still run really well, and get you home. That's a good test for them too -- just to unplug it and see if it clears things up. Edit: never mind -- you already did it. lol
Almost like being there. Thanks! BTW, you're absolutely right about the bow tie. I was once at a party where the guest of honor was then the most famous man in the world. He pointed at me from about 20' away, smiled, pointed at his own black tie and then pointed again at mine. I understood and we shared thumbs up. A man should never wear a clip-on bow tie.
Hi Waldo. I enjoyed the video. Got to see some cool places I've never been to. We are fortunate to live in such a beautiful country. Glad that the Land Rover made the trip without much trouble. Looking forward to more fabrication work, as well. Thanks for the video! -mike
Waldo, I really loved this video. Watching it during Winter in Melbourne Australia really cheered me up and showed me so much of USA. That Land Rover really held up much better than I expected and I hope you fix up those few things to make it a better car and a keeper. I look forward to more of your videos especially the other Land Rover.
@@deebee3901 I had no idea that there are some regions of Australia that get snowfall. I'd personally love to visit Australia - I just don't look forward to the three flights I'd have to take from Chicago to get there 😁.
I agree with the upper comments. Well done for bringing us along with you on this trip and doing so with a great perspective of country, scenery and your take on the world. The parks, the sites, the hotels and food, plus the initial purpose. We viewed through your eyes and this was different to your regular vids that are more focused to mechanicals. Glad the LR made it. Will be back for more.
Nice to see the LR Time sticker on the back. I love watching Vera's and Christian's videos, too! 😀 I'm also hoping to do a similar road trip someday, but I'll give myself 4-6 weeks to sightsee.
Flatbed pickups are very common for ranching and Sheridan, WY is a large ranching community. Your flatbed videos are the reason I subscribed. Also, the giant hay stack that you seen are an older technic used by ranchers. Our area calls them Beaver Stacks but I'm sure they have many names. They use a tall hay ramp with a forked sledge to make them the size of a barn. They start by push a large pile of hay together then move the ramp into position. Next they will push hay into the sledge and pull the sledge up to the top of the ramp where it falls over the edge onto the stack. Workers with pitch forks will start forming the top of the stack. Then the final layer of hay will be weaved into a dome in order to shed water.
Love this! Amazing country for a road trip. Just finished a trip from WA to CA. Oregon was beautiful! The Disco 3 is so comfortable and not all the horror stories are true. Keep them serviced and they’ll last a very long time 👍
Excellent video. Love the format and interesting dialogue. Keep it up! You say you love doing road trips... Well, with such wonderful scenery and superb highways, so you should!
Absolutely loved this video. Especially the stop in Manistique! I grew up there and you pronounced it spot on!!! Thanks for taking us along for the ride
Great video, I have an 2006 LR3 since 2013 and was having the same codes recently. Cleaned the MAF as well and cleared the code. Waiting to see if it comes back. These are such great vehicles, keep up the content.
I’ve only recently found your channel. I don’t have a backhoe, I don’t weld or make trailers…. But I love to work with my hands, loveeeeee cool vehicles like you, and especially lean towards the European ones. I’m making my way through your content and it’s excellent. Thank you for taking us along with you guys!
Really liked this one. Being Swedish I´ve only been to the US once (Miami). It´s really nice to see an overview like this of the different states. Some of these places seem pretty amazing. Thanks!
My wife and I drove my 1999 2 door Chevrolet Tahoe(all original drivetrain, 5/7 drop on 20" wheels) from East Texas to Kingman, Arizona and back. It was an awesome trip! We were with a group and took Route 66 wherever we could. The only issue with the Tahoe was a rattling tailpipe heat shield in New Mexico. I removed it and went on down the road. It was the last long trip I took with my Dad-RIP!
Took almost the same roads I take from Chicago to Los Angeles while trucking. Nice to see someone else sees the exact same roads the same way I see them 🤙🏼
I saw all your videos I think, many things impress me, like your mechanic skills, and how well you speak your language (very well educated person), it was a delight to see your videos and waiting for more of them. Thx
This was a great video. Glad the Land Rover made it. You were so close to Glacier National Park….you woulda loved that one! Keep doing what you’re doing! Love the videos
In my old 924, bought it with 70K miles and in good kit, we did LA to Brooklyn in 49.5 hours. Not to set any ('Cannonball')records but to make my Cousin's Wedding. The return was a leisurely two weeks just touring, Northern routes and a little Canada as well. Everyone said we were nuts. A 10 year old notoriously unreliable Porsche on an extended road trip. The car and the trip were near perfect... To add; it is amazing what how much gear you can cram into a 924 and how comfy they are for a long journey.
This road trip video of yours was awesome! Really loved it and completely love your honesty about everything you experienced. Also just thoroughly enjoy all your mechanical videos and the precise nature on which you take on various projects. Your courage as you take on challenges for yourself is an inspiration. Keep the content coming.
Great trip to see how things are on the other side of the world as I'm fro Australia. I'm glad your car made the trip with out too may problems. Looking forward to the next adventure.
Your travel log of your trip out west is excellent. I realize it is not in keeping with your regular mechanical, fabrication, and thoughtful engineering perspective, but it is one of the best video captures of middle America and out west I have seen. I was very pleased and thoroughly appreciative of what you did. Thanks for taking on something different.
Cute doggies , cute presenter too , don't tell my bf I said that , brilliant series on range rover and merc S class too , you've gained another subscriber Waldo , take care , woof woof Aspen and thingy
Just found this channel several days ago and am thoroughly enjoying it. Loved the travel account; very entertaining and well-filmed. This brought back fond memories of my own travel to many of these areas on my BMW motorcycle.
That's a very enjoyable change especially with the excellent videography and high resolution, capturing many parts of America I haven't visit 👍🏻. Surprise to see the RR didn't break down.
Ok here it is. Totally not the video I was expecting, but I watched every second. It was great to see a different part of your life in this road-trip. I would look for to more of this content but in a 70% fabrication 30% anything you care to share. I’m in Pinehurst NC if you need suggestions on accommodations for future road trips 👍
Great trip, great video. 🙂 For me, it's just right in terms of the commentary, the views, the interests, and of course the vehicle aspect. I'm a classic Rover owner and have owned older-style Landys in the past (e.g. 1970 Series 2A). They're fantastic vehicles which do have intermittent issues from time to time. I'm not quite sure why they're so generally despised in the US as much. Keep 'em coming. 🇬🇧
Incredibly nice video, thanks for taking us along! And what beautiful landscape you went through. The shocking part of the summary for me was the fact that you considered 12.76 l/100 km to be reasonable and comparatively low. Also fillng the tank with would cost abnout double here in Europe. Most cares around here, even the big ones, won't break 10 l/100 km. A very common (small) car is likely to be more around 5-6 l/100 km (~40 mpg). That would obviously have less space, being small and all, and won't be an offroad vehicle, but here there is literally zero reason to have an offroad vehicle. I was very surprised to learn that you have sort of trails through national parks that recommend or eve require truely offroad capable vehicles.
you need to get out more... theres lots of offroading and adventures in europe, just because you stay to the tourist traps and paved areas doesnt mean thats all that exists
@@AndrewBrowner I have not once been to any tourist trap. We usually go camping. I don't own a car, because I basically never need one. And very often off-road areas aren't accessible here by car, but only on foot or other light transport (bike and such).
When you say, "here there is literally zero reason to have an offroad vehicle" I assume you are missing out those people 1. who need them for work: Farmers, builders, surveyors, telecoms installers etc etc. 2. Those who pull things such as horses, karts, boats and 3. Those who like to go on green lanes and dirt tracks simply as a hobby. The chap above is right. You do need to get out more.
@@Alan_Mac point 1 and to a degree 2, fine. I thought it was pretty clear I want taking about those people or use card, but whatever. I was taking about people who do not need it with work, and while true off-road vehicles can be used for 2, they aren't a necessity (there's plenty of vehicles that work for pulling stuff). But that was my point, that the category 3 basically doesn't exist over here. Not saying it's completely nonexistent, but at best it's rare. I actually checked to find something like this is my state, there isn't even one.
Aspen , you took your human and his buddy on a fantastic adventure Wow . His training is really paying off . Those Aspen Trees and those sand dunes great on your paws . Good Waldo , goood boy ! Really appreciate your quality production. Drive safely back home !
owned a few different older style landys and must say never really broke down only had parts come off that can be put back on lol(wheels, boost pipe, ect) so long as they're maintained they'll go forever
Waldo keep them coming whatever the content. Watch it or don’t right! I think you’ll find most will watch because you do a fabulous job on your videos. Thank you again.
Hey Waldo! Loved this video. That Wally’s you stopped at in Fenton outside of St. Louis is less than a mile from where I work. I get fuel there weekly. So cool seeing that you were in my neck of the woods. Thanks for the video
I'm from Ireland and use a discovrey like this a diesel one. Your road trip video was brilliant.Great the way you just popped in pics of things of interest you saw with no comment.I found this gave a nice brisk flow to the whole thing.Well done.
For anyone who has never been or is planning to come to Colorado. The great sand dunes national park is one of the most beautiful places you can see. It is simply unreal. The surrounding area in the San Luis valley is also beautiful. There are waterfalls and some fairly extreme 14ers right near by as well. Gorgeous place. (Edit) Waldo you knocked it out of the park with your stops. It is awesome to see you stop at places my family has spent so many hours enjoying together.
Oh man I loved this truck. It was the best truck I ever drove. Of course if it was raining the windows wouldn’t work without disassembling the switch. It ate cooling parts. But wow what a driving position.
This video was definitely a change of pace for the channel but still somehow had me glued even though I’ve driven and seen almost everywhere you went. Bravo Waldo you’re a bonafide YT pro, absolutely loved the video yet again and the new camera (not actually sure how new it is) captures some fantastic footage. love the videos, seemed like a fun trip - Cheers Waldo!
Those codes that popped up in New Mexico are probably because you drove in from such a lower altitude (ABQ is about the same altitude as Denver, CO). When I first moved to Albuquerque from Arizona, my '06 CR-V was running really rich (didn't trip codes, but you could definitely tell). I think it took a few days for the engine to readjust to the sudden change in altitude, but it was fine.
At first reading of your comment my thought was that the system should adjust for the difference in altitude. Which it probably would in actual operation. But the computer would also detect an issue with long term fuel trim not being correct resulting in codes and cel on. I would think designers would allow for this but there would have to be a transition period resulting in the condition you described.
The cracks in the resonator are a very common vacuum leak source on these. These cracks would have been present since before the trip, but the LT fuel trim was able to adjust for them, thus no CEL. However the change in altitude could have been enough to tip this balance. When I drive steep passes in the western US (>2000’ at 5%) from sea level at interstate speeds I can detect a knock unless I slow down a bit in my LR3, giving the ECU a chance to retard the timing as I gain elevation.
I honestly enjoyed this video more then most. I loved the cut scenes and it specifically brought back memories of my own travel in some areas. What I didn't appreciate was the comments about certain areas that you might not really know much about. The blame of people from California is probably the most common misconception, everyone has bad apples and its silly to compare or assume. North Dakota and some of the areas you didn't prefer were actually fun to see. I was hoping you would take the Range Rover on this trip, but I understand that their were some projects that needed completion first. I would like to see more of the videos in the future, with an open mind and some research behind each stop. Glad the trip was safe and the land rover made it back in one piece!
Man thank you for uploading this content, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and was taking notes of the breathtaking scenery for my RV travels.... cheers mate...
This is great content Waldo! Although the decision to take a Range Rover that far isn't maybe the brightest, it's a fun challenge and that's appreciated! Love seeing the road trip content however. Shows lots of parts of our beautiful country most don't typically get the chance to see. Well done I look forward to the next one.
Although I am a fairly new subscriber who has enjoyed the builds and repairs on your various vehicles and equipment, this was a great change of pace. Enjoy all of your videos because you do a great job with the story of the video. Great co tent and keep it up!
Waldo, this was an absolutely awesome video! Loved the journey and the outcome. I was very impressed with your choice of vehicle that you repaired out of the 2. Also the repair of the headlight that I a little voice inside my head kept saying to me "is he going to fix that headlight"? Wonderful stuff mate. Keep them coming!

This road trip video of yours was awesome! Really loved it and completely love your honesty about everything you experienced. Also just thoroughly enjoy all your mechanical videos and the precise nature on which you take on various projects. Your courage as you take on challenges for yourself is an inspiration. Keep the content coming.
Great trip to see how things are on the other side of the world as I'm fro Australia. I'm glad your car made the trip with out too may problems. Looking forward to the next adventure.
what's with people in australia feeling like they HAVE to say that in every youtube comment ?
Your travel log of your trip out west is excellent. I realize it is not in keeping with your regular mechanical, fabrication, and thoughtful engineering perspective, but it is one of the best video captures of middle America and out west I have seen. I was very pleased and thoroughly appreciative of what you did. Thanks for taking on something different.
Cute doggies , cute presenter too , don't tell my bf I said that , brilliant series on range rover and merc S class too , you've gained another subscriber Waldo , take care , woof woof Aspen and thingy
Just found this channel several days ago and am thoroughly enjoying it. Loved the travel account; very entertaining and well-filmed. This brought back fond memories of my own travel to many of these areas on my BMW motorcycle.
That's a very enjoyable change especially with the excellent videography and high resolution, capturing many parts of America I haven't visit 👍🏻. Surprise to see the RR didn't break down.
Packed the kids to go camping in my 06 LR3 this weekend. Blower resistor crapped out.... Classic. Great video
Ok here it is. Totally not the video I was expecting, but I watched every second. It was great to see a different part of your life in this road-trip. I would look for to more of this content but in a 70% fabrication 30% anything you care to share. I’m in Pinehurst NC if you need suggestions on accommodations for future road trips 👍
No guts, no glory! Loved the video. Great job.
Great trip, great video. 🙂 For me, it's just right in terms of the commentary, the views, the interests, and of course the vehicle aspect. I'm a classic Rover owner and have owned older-style Landys in the past (e.g. 1970 Series 2A). They're fantastic vehicles which do have intermittent issues from time to time. I'm not quite sure why they're so generally despised in the US as much. Keep 'em coming. 🇬🇧
Thank you for taking me along on your trip. So nice to see the Beautiful USA. And the different states, thank you.
Incredibly nice video, thanks for taking us along! And what beautiful landscape you went through.
The shocking part of the summary for me was the fact that you considered 12.76 l/100 km to be reasonable and comparatively low. Also fillng the tank with would cost abnout double here in Europe. Most cares around here, even the big ones, won't break 10 l/100 km. A very common (small) car is likely to be more around 5-6 l/100 km (~40 mpg). That would obviously have less space, being small and all, and won't be an offroad vehicle, but here there is literally zero reason to have an offroad vehicle. I was very surprised to learn that you have sort of trails through national parks that recommend or eve require truely offroad capable vehicles.
you need to get out more... theres lots of offroading and adventures in europe, just because you stay to the tourist traps and paved areas doesnt mean thats all that exists
@@AndrewBrowner I have not once been to any tourist trap. We usually go camping. I don't own a car, because I basically never need one. And very often off-road areas aren't accessible here by car, but only on foot or other light transport (bike and such).
@@TheCreat theres plenty of 4x4 trails for suv's in europe idk what youre on about
When you say, "here there is literally zero reason to have an offroad vehicle" I assume you are missing out those people 1. who need them for work: Farmers, builders, surveyors, telecoms installers etc etc. 2. Those who pull things such as horses, karts, boats and 3. Those who like to go on green lanes and dirt tracks simply as a hobby. The chap above is right. You do need to get out more.
@@Alan_Mac point 1 and to a degree 2, fine. I thought it was pretty clear I want taking about those people or use card, but whatever. I was taking about people who do not need it with work, and while true off-road vehicles can be used for 2, they aren't a necessity (there's plenty of vehicles that work for pulling stuff). But that was my point, that the category 3 basically doesn't exist over here. Not saying it's completely nonexistent, but at best it's rare. I actually checked to find something like this is my state, there isn't even one.
Aspen , you took your human and his buddy on a fantastic adventure
Wow . His training is really paying off . Those Aspen Trees and those sand
dunes great on your paws . Good Waldo , goood boy ! Really appreciate
your quality production. Drive safely back home !
Loved, Loved the trip waldo! Beautiful !
Yes, I liked the video and please do more. Your country is vast and stunningly beautiful (and so is your dog, Aspen). Greetings from the UK.
We would love to see you make more cross country road trip
Hey Waldo, by adding the Albuquerque wild flowers and mountains video, you just made this video so much more loving & exciting. I loved it man.
This reminds me of when I drove from Michigan to Arkansas, same route and scenery. Makes me want to make another trip
Glad your trip went so well. Looks like the 3 of you had a great time.
owned a few different older style landys and must say never really broke down only had parts come off that can be put back on lol(wheels, boost pipe, ect) so long as they're maintained they'll go forever
I'm from Iraq, I really enjoyed this vid the U.S is a vast beautiful place, you made me love to visit it.. & good luck with your Range Rover.
Loved the video. I feel like you should do more daily vlog style videos!! Looking forward to next one
Thank you!
Waldo keep them coming whatever the content. Watch it or don’t right! I think you’ll find most will watch because you do a fabulous job on your videos. Thank you again.
Didn't want to stop in StLouis lol
Sooo dangerous there. Good call.
That was phenomenal! What beauty... great editing... and good humurous takes.... Glad the rover made it...
Hey Waldo! Loved this video. That Wally’s you stopped at in Fenton outside of St. Louis is less than a mile from where I work. I get fuel there weekly. So cool seeing that you were in my neck of the woods. Thanks for the video
I'm from Ireland and use a discovrey like this a diesel one.
Your road trip video was brilliant.Great the way you just popped in pics of things of interest you saw with no comment.I found this gave a nice brisk flow to the whole thing.Well done.
Great video. I love road trips. Can't wait to see where you go next.
For anyone who has never been or is planning to come to Colorado. The great sand dunes national park is one of the most beautiful places you can see. It is simply unreal. The surrounding area in the San Luis valley is also beautiful. There are waterfalls and some fairly extreme 14ers right near by as well. Gorgeous place.
(Edit)
Waldo you knocked it out of the park with your stops. It is awesome to see you stop at places my family has spent so many hours enjoying together.
Im not sure id trust a 17 year old Land Rover to complete a Journey here in the UK, 6000 miles in the US, you are brave!
Oh man I loved this truck.
It was the best truck I ever drove.
Of course if it was raining the windows wouldn’t work without disassembling the switch.
It ate cooling parts.
But wow what a driving position.
It was a great video Waldo, Well Done.
This video was definitely a change of pace for the channel but still somehow had me glued even though I’ve driven and seen almost everywhere you went. Bravo Waldo you’re a bonafide YT pro, absolutely loved the video yet again and the new camera (not actually sure how new it is) captures some fantastic footage. love the videos, seemed like a fun trip - Cheers Waldo!
Thank you! The "new" camera is actually my iPhone (13 pro max). It does capture some great footage! 🤷♂️
What a amazing adventure you guys had 🔥
You drove right by my farm between the Montana border and I90. Glad you made it without any major breakdowns.
Just discovered your channel and so much amazing content! I can’t wait for your next videos to come!
I appreciate it!
is a pretty good channel... some of the best cinematography from an automotive channel too , especially from a 1 guy operation
Road trip scenary is so good! THANKS WALDO.
Those codes that popped up in New Mexico are probably because you drove in from such a lower altitude (ABQ is about the same altitude as Denver, CO). When I first moved to Albuquerque from Arizona, my '06 CR-V was running really rich (didn't trip codes, but you could definitely tell). I think it took a few days for the engine to readjust to the sudden change in altitude, but it was fine.
Interesting point!
Great Point!!!
This.
At first reading of your comment my thought was that the system should adjust for the difference in altitude. Which it probably would in actual operation. But the computer would also detect an issue with long term fuel trim not being correct resulting in codes and cel on. I would think designers would allow for this but there would have to be a transition period resulting in the condition you described.
The cracks in the resonator are a very common vacuum leak source on these. These cracks would have been present since before the trip, but the LT fuel trim was able to adjust for them, thus no CEL. However the change in altitude could have been enough to tip this balance. When I drive steep passes in the western US (>2000’ at 5%) from sea level at interstate speeds I can detect a knock unless I slow down a bit in my LR3, giving the ECU a chance to retard the timing as I gain elevation.
Fabrication, Mechanical & analysis are what I like about your channel. Thank you from Australia.
I honestly enjoyed this video more then most. I loved the cut scenes and it specifically brought back memories of my own travel in some areas. What I didn't appreciate was the comments about certain areas that you might not really know much about. The blame of people from California is probably the most common misconception, everyone has bad apples and its silly to compare or assume. North Dakota and some of the areas you didn't prefer were actually fun to see. I was hoping you would take the Range Rover on this trip, but I understand that their were some projects that needed completion first. I would like to see more of the videos in the future, with an open mind and some research behind each stop. Glad the trip was safe and the land rover made it back in one piece!
Man thank you for uploading this content, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and was taking notes of the breathtaking scenery for my RV travels.... cheers mate...
Great video of stunning scenery . Never knew USA had sand dunes
Indiana has some awesome dunes, Lake Havasu AZ, California North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Michigan and many other states have insane dunes.
I cannot believe, you put the whole trip within 33.18 mins.
I loved it 🥳
This is great content Waldo! Although the decision to take a Range Rover that far isn't maybe the brightest, it's a fun challenge and that's appreciated! Love seeing the road trip content however. Shows lots of parts of our beautiful country most don't typically get the chance to see. Well done I look forward to the next one.
Land Rover
Although I am a fairly new subscriber who has enjoyed the builds and repairs on your various vehicles and equipment, this was a great change of pace. Enjoy all of your videos because you do a great job with the story of the video. Great co tent and keep it up!
20:28 best line of the video😭🤣👍🏼
That’s the most adorable sweetest pointsetter (pointer) so WELL MANNERED 😊🎉❤❤
Thought it was a Vizsla.
Loved this vlog style video keep it up man!!
Bravo in documenting this road trip. Nicely done and I hope to see more of these road trips. Thanks for uploading this video!
Everything you put out is interesting Waldo . Looking forward to more .
Waldo, this was an absolutely awesome video! Loved the journey and the outcome. I was very impressed with your choice of vehicle that you repaired out of the 2. Also the repair of the headlight that I a little voice inside my head kept saying to me "is he going to fix that headlight"? Wonderful stuff mate. Keep them coming!
Awesome! A new Waldos World video!
