    That video was like when my mum used to defrost the freezer. We’d get all sorts and it would be cracking. So we had a trip in the truck, two vehicles sold, a crunch of the numbers, a bit of convo from Chris, Rob wanting to buy his own truck back ( purely belter) and finally plenty of Robs waffle. Absolutely loved it lads 👍👍👍

    @ColinPrince 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Rob, for the work that you put into these cars, I think that your prices are too low. I know that you like to flip cars, but these are almost a gift. If you worked it out on a per hour basis for Chris and you, you’re probably making about £10 per hour. The Escort could have bought in at least £7,000, people want them and they’ll be collectors cars, if not already.

  • @dougied4827
