Hi Steve thanks for that am quite proud of my collection, the budgie and tomahawk are the only 2 bikes from that era and of corse the chippa that I haven't owned yet, gives me something to think about!!?? Thanks for viewing cheers 🥂
Lovely video Paul love the infant red chopper really nice work as usual . The new workshop looks great and will improve with time as you put your stamp on it .hope you get better soon as you know us men seem to get a stronger strain of these bugs than women lol. Anyway take care mate and have a night cap and sleep it off.
Hi Lee hope all OK with you!! Yes in total agreement with everything you said mate, especially the ill 🤒 bit mate lol 😂 these women just don't know how much we suffer and show no sympathy what so ever... It's true.!! It gets worse at bedtime, Glad you like the 007 special mate I love it, will try to do some filming at the show, speak soon mate take care cheers 🥂
Absolutely brilliant as usual with you mate! And yes i agree i think it edges the original one you did 👌 the line up in the workshop is looking great! And to be fair i think what ever size we build mate we will fill it and think i should have gone bigger haha its in our nature 🤣 we are 100% on for the weekend mate hope your feeling better for it as it should be a great day mate! And hopefully someone at the show with a restored space blue can shed some light on what paint they used mate 😁🍻
Hi Josh mate yes there must be someone out there who knows a close match, and I know what you mean we always want bigger and better lol I do think also that the 007 special is the better bike especially with that unusual serial number 😂 am looking forward to the show will see you there cheers 🥂
I loved the Grifter and the Tomahawk. The Grifter we used to change out the forks and put another back wheel on the front and ride BMX before there were BMX in the UK. The forks would break frequently and the geometry of the bike was messed up ., but it was fun back in the late 70's many dirt jumps conquered!
Hi mate lol 😂 I bet that was brilliant fun, my favourite is still the Grifter far superior handling easy gear changes and more comfortable to ride, many of my mates back in the 70's who had choppers frequently used to stack it through taking your eyes off of where you were going to change gear lol 😂, still we were hardcore back in them days great times cheers 🥂
The infa red looks mint. Lovely workshop also. I tried to get the Saturday off work but no joy.. you'll enjoy the show bud. There's another one in September I believe. Josh will know the dates. Your channel is going really well, look forward to the video at the show. Hope you feel better soon 😊
Hi Mike thanks for the kind words dear boy lol 😁, yes am very pleased with everything and the way things are going but this virus I've picked up has took my enthusiasm away just for now and the crap weather don't help either cheers 🥂 mate.
Hi eric hope your OK, I'm in total agreement with you it's a lot better isn't it, am feeling better this evening and hopefully good by Saturday, will be doing some filming there and fingers crossed picking up some bargains lol 😂 cheers 🥂
Hi mate and thanks, yes when they were new they were quite pricey my family couldn't afford one, yes I remember the knock off choppers I think they were Chinese?? But not sure, thanks for viewing cheers 🥂
@@MrM-zz5zo tbh with you mate their not the greatest to ride especially when your nearly 60 and 18stone lol 😂 I prefer my Grifters easier gear changes and more comfortable lol 😂 cheers 🥂
Hope you are feeling much better very soon Paul bro ! The bikes look awesome !! Ha ha.. that creaking noise sounds like my knees when I'm walking.. and I paid for the shoes !! lol Enjoy the Raleigh show.. you can get those electronic tags off with a couple of tea spoons !! lol 😜😜 Cheers mate as always 🍻
Hi Andy this virus thing I've picked up is not leaving me and it's took all my enthusiasm away and I don't like it, I was having trouble with one of my knees but it seems OK now lol 😂 what's the weather like where you are it's crap in Essex lol 😂 take care of your self and it's always nice to hear from you cheers 🥂
@@paulmartin4971 So sorry to hear that my friend ! Stay strong and eat healthy and plenty l.. it will go in the end ! The weather.. well its not so bad.. sunshine ..sometimes !! lol I cleaned my chimney stacks the other day and got blasted in soot !! 🤣🤣..the stack 'blew back' on me.. and that dust is really hard to clean up !! lol ..so I have been busy !! lol Cheers bro 🍻
@@JimTimber Hi Andy glad you've got sunshine ☀ mate, wow sounds like you made a terrible mess there but as I know you have to keep your chimneys clean and clear, you could of hired yourself out for weddings lol cheers 🥂
Hi again Paul, I was just wondering how you are getting on with the model railway? Do you need any track or extra bits and bobs for it? My local model shop is closing down in a couple of weeks time. He has a lot of Peco items, the track is the same spec as Hornby and made in England. I don't mind buying you a few items to help the channel. He has a closing down sale on. Cheers. Jerry
Hi Jerry how you doing? Sorry I've only just noticed this as did not get notification 🔔? All I really need is some long straights!!?? I'm waiting for the electric to be put in then am going to crack on with it, I'm calling it clueless layout making lol 😂 as I'm going in quite blind but will be a laugh 😂 trying!! Cheers 🍻
I'm good thanks Paul, I hope you are feeling better now. I did buy 4 long straight bits of track from the model shop on Saturday. They are 700mm long. You are welcome to them if you want them for the layout. I've double checked the website and Peco track is fully compatible with Hornby. Good that its made in England too. Cheers.
Ok, I will post them to you. I enjoy your videos and I'm happy to help you out with the channel a bit. Can you let me know how to get your email address etc so I can then contact you in private to find your postal addresss. Cheers, Jerry
Hi Paul, thanks for another great video. Sorry you've not been feeling well. The 007 special looks great, I think its nicer than the first Infa red.

@@BoatzUK Hi cliff mate yes that little £1 boat 🛥 does get really good viewings doesn't it, will watch watch the other vid later, have a good week cheers 🥂
Brilliant collection. Have you ever thought of reconditioning a Raleigh budgie and tomahawk and have a full set all same colour.Hope your well soon..
