    Hi Rob I must say I do look forward too your videos
    You are completely natural never pretending to be something you are not. Lately you made a comment about not being the right time to buy something and that maybe you couldn’t afford it at present.
    Very few car guys ever admit the truth when they can’t afford something I like your honesty. Keep up the good work and stay safe in these worrying times. God bless and keep you safe regards Pat.
