Calvin, ive tried to go on your enterreg website, just to let you know there seems to be a problem with the site ceritification, it literally tells me acces denied, just thought i'd let you know incase other people are having the same experience, and it may be limiting your site traffic. -fellow car trader
Should use one of the units as a photo booth to take all photos for the cars be much better for lighting ect as the photos taken outside ain't that great and I've seen the car in person it's very tidy 👌
That same space you took the M3 out of (at 12:03), you should use that space for photos. Paint the walls white, make an 'Infinity Wall', put up some signage and tube lighting and that would be a perfect back drop. Plus, that way, you'd never have to worry about the weather
Great video of what's involved in the day to day running of a car sales business. So pleased for you Calvin and everyone associated with the team. I feel honoured to watch your progress as you move forwards in life. Keep up the great work guys
My dream job is to be a used car dealer, maybe one day I’ll leave my corporate job and take the plunge. Your videos are super inspiring - a where to start to become a used car dealer video would be epic
Calv, My mate won a 2019 caddy on 7 days performance and flew from belfast to stansted and got a train to norfolk or norwich. Then drove up to scotland all in one day to get it home. I would do the same if i won one on POD!
Yeah that pissed me off massively, I've messaged cal saying stop offering cash alternatives as everyone else does that , pod is about winning a car not cash
Great Video Calvin, you're so genuine in your approach to people, well done mate. Bit annoying that people keep going for the cash. Would be good content to go and see the guys living with the cars. I would have kept the Alpina. Keep up the great work mate
I think most people would rather take the cash prize because it’s another car to insure, tax etc. and a bit of a hassle… but then again, people enter to win a car so I understand your frustration
Like the Integra, aged really well. Only thing is they now feel really slow with no torque, I used to like them but just feels so unbelievably slow now unless you thrash the crap out of it.
Who could hate on this man, calv get some German cars (golfs, seats, beamers dem lot) in and I promise you all the Asian boys from Luton will be at binca 😂
I’m 99% sure that Teg would have original came from Dicksons in Perth going by the reg number. They used to stock and sell quite a few. My cousin bought one and still has it stored away.
Really interesting video Calvin. Love the lineup of M3’s, insight into your daily routine and growth of your business! I’m interested to know how you balance all of this with spending time with your son? I’ve got a similar work mentality (totally different industry but cars are my hobby) but struggle with not being there to spend time with my daughter.
A receptionist not on reception ain't a receptionist PMSL. I love that "Are you lost" managerial approach. Shit has to be a machine. Any cog out of sync is dead weight.
Calvin, better to do photos in that extra indoor space you have with properly rigged lighting. This way you can control the lighting come rain or shine and also the photos will look better. Especially after a good clean. Outdoor shots can be hit and miss with harsh shadows and inconsistent lighting.
I agree, that way with similar lighting, you will also be able to compare how cars look. Normal daylight as you say is at the mercy of daily weather, we live in the UK, no brainer for 365 indoor photography!
A great video Calvin. You really are inspirational. I would love to get into the car trade one day. That new lad, has got a great boss, and can learn a lot from you. It would be interesting seeing your basic gym routine, as I’m a bit of a porker. I’m sure that you can inspire people in this area too. Cheers. Matt
What do you when the customer keeps calling you ,saying his car has broken down . i fixed a problem he had a week ago but know he's got another issue with the EGR . The car is a second hand 2012 vw Passat 2.0 tdi . The repairs are eating up my profit .
Calv put the Alpina back on planet of dreams and don’t offer a cash alternative!! It’s such a shame for a car like that to not go to a petrol head. Alpina + touring ❤️
If luke don't want the m3 I'd happily have it as a weekend summertime classic 👍 absolutely great thing your doing calv I personally find it greedy when people want the cash instead , everyone seems to be money grabbing these days, how could you turn down a free m3! It'd owe you nothing but maintenance 😫
@S Rah exactly , so why enter a competition to win a free car if your going to struggle to run it , imagine if calv turned round and said no cash prize and for that I'm going to redraw the competition, golden rule live within your means , calvs giving away grands worth of cars for free and for some people that's just not good enough.
@@leet7031 completely agree mate. I guess some people know that when they enter. The car will fly out anyway. Perhaps they should change their policies and only offer the vehicle.
I don't blame people in all honesty such are the times. It's like a windfall tbh. But being a petrol head all my life, I have starved to make sure my only car was still on the road (in the early days of course!!) then I'd plead poverty to my mum and she'd cook me a bacon sarnie :)
No it's a shame someone like you didn't win it , yeah life's hard but your the perfect scenario for calv giving someone something they actually need! We're all in different positions in life and it's a proper gutting I didn't enter in the alpina for the exact reason is its not suitable for me as I have a daily diesel , the m3 on the other hand is more ideal as a weekend treat
amazing content omg i am bolloxt just watching your daily life you are some man for one man stunning work you provide you are a credit to your channel and belive me bro you will make tv content you are just so good amazing at what you do its just stunning to watch good on you bro and all the crew im delighted for the new unit
Why not turn one of the smaller units into a photography zone? Full control over lighting 365 days a year no matter the weather etc Seems like the ideal space, then the space is still a ‘money making’ zone.
Bought a new white Type R in 1998 on an R reg. then bought a new red one a year later after regretting selling the white one, i loved those cars 😊 notice he didn’t show the seat bolsters? guaranteed they’ll be fucked…..
Thinking if selling your car? Visit my website:

Do you do any warranty with any of your cars I really want to buy a car from you
Should use one of the units as a photo booth to take all photos for the cars be much better for lighting ect as the photos taken outside ain't that great and I've seen the car in person it's very tidy 👌
How much is that M3 Calvin?

You used to do episodes like this all the time! They were and still are thoroughly enjoyed.
Great episode 👍👍👍
Just a correction, The DC5 is a 2litre not a 2.2 litre. Good to have these sort of videos back again.
When I watched the footage back I was like “how the F have I said 2.2!” 😤
Must be getting old 👴🏼
@@CalvinsCarDiary It creeps up on you Calvin, especially when you are busy, I should know, I've surpassed the 'fossil' stage
Great video of what's involved in the day to day running of a car sales business. So pleased for you Calvin and everyone associated with the team. I feel honoured to watch your progress as you move forwards in life. Keep up the great work guys
Good welcome to the new lad👍
Thank you so much mate. It’s an honour having such a grateful audience 🙏🏼🙌
You're a proper grafter mate. All the very best for the future to you & your team.
More of this please Calv. Great to see Binca’s progress!
My dream job is to be a used car dealer, maybe one day I’ll leave my corporate job and take the plunge. Your videos are super inspiring - a where to start to become a used car dealer video would be epic
That's what chops garage did, worth a watch
Chops garage is brilliant whos doing well 👍👍👍
I completely agree Calvin. That E46 M3 shape has aged beautifully. 👍
Best M3 of all time.
Calv, My mate won a 2019 caddy on 7 days performance and flew from belfast to stansted and got a train to norfolk or norwich. Then drove up to scotland all in one day to get it home. I would do the same if i won one on POD!
Best of luck with the new yard for your business & hope all goes well 👍👍👍
Great insight Calvin, this could be a great series you can add to your channel. All the best, keep it going.
I can't believe anyone passed up on the beautiful Alpina. Future classic.
I totally agree with u
Agree!! Why be in a competition for a car and not claim the car
They'll be kicking themselves next week haha
Yeah that pissed me off massively, I've messaged cal saying stop offering cash alternatives as everyone else does that , pod is about winning a car not cash
@@siroberts6860 Totally agree with u mate. Why enter to win an amazing car if u have no intentions of having it?
Hey Calvin, I really enjoy your content. Your enthusiasm is infectious my friend and keep up the great work! We love you in Washington State, US
The new kid looks so happy to be there and he has a daily and a project car would love to see the progression on the mk2 fiesta
Love videos like this would be great to see a day in the life across all your business's keep up the good work Calv 👍
The attention his putting into detail. Crazy video
Soooo good to see the type r content again aswell as you and your business flying mate. so so happy for you :D
Well Done Calvin !! ................ Bless You & You're Team
Great content buddy i watch all your videos keep it up mate
Great Video Calvin, you're so genuine in your approach to people, well done mate. Bit annoying that people keep going for the cash. Would be good content to go and see the guys living with the cars. I would have kept the Alpina. Keep up the great work mate

320ds will be selling out rubber dinghy rapid
@@leet7031 rubber dinghy rapids bro!!
@@ChrisFEJackson 😂😂
Brilliant to recommend to your many fans to keep and be fit. If built into your life it benefits in every aspect.
Turn table, with signage would be great use for the garage to become a photo area
Good viewing nice that you treat the young lad the same as the top people in your company sign of a good boss
I've an s3 8p had it for over 3 years such a good car, built like a tank much better then the newer s3 tin cans in comparison
Another great video Calvin.I really enjoy seeing how things are coming along.
I’m 99% sure that Teg would have original came from Dicksons in Perth going by the reg number. They used to stock and sell quite a few. My cousin bought one and still has it stored away.
Great video! I see you have a MK8 Fiesta ST, would really like a video on that, a 3 cylinder hot hatch
You should do like a weekly episode on what happens throughout the week,bit like a yanni monthly but weekly instead. would be very interesting to see!
crumbs he does enough already. Unless he does a fly on the wall aspect where someone is filming him. I'd watch that!!
Best type of video besides going out in fast cars 🔥 you're an inspiration mate, working the dream job 🙏
Love these types of videos Calv , more of the same please
We want to see more Calvin. Love the content mate💪
How could the old landlord loose client like Calvin such a good guy sky the limit bro keep it up 💯
Does the s class not have soft close doors. 0:07 was vicious😭
Really interesting video Calvin. Love the lineup of M3’s, insight into your daily routine and growth of your business!
I’m interested to know how you balance all of this with spending time with your son? I’ve got a similar work mentality (totally different industry but cars are my hobby) but struggle with not being there to spend time with my daughter.
Makes me want to buy another M3. Great tips on car selling. Thanks BINCA and Calvin for such an informative TH-cam vid
You need Calvin's Cafe & merch shop while customers are there they can get a price to sell there cars and maybe buy another 😉
OMG 21:50 correct me if im wrong but is that the 1st time the door shuts and the music dont stop
Heya man I have just quit my job and I am going to follow my dreams of cars and become a car dealer thank you for all your vids over the years
My first cars have a love Mercedes Benz 160 2006. Lovely car got it after your vid about the Mercedes 😂😂
And bought a Peugeot, 107

Great vid bruva. 1 of these a week is a must
Are you getting any security on your new premises I.e intruder alarm cctv, we are based just down the road from your new yard
All the best to you Calvin your new place coming along nicely :)
Hi calvin you wont remember me you were too young ,But i use too work with your dad jeramy clarkson it was years ago .
A great video Calvin. You really are inspirational. I would love to get into the car trade one day.
That new lad, has got a great boss, and can learn a lot from you.
It would be interesting seeing your basic gym routine, as I’m a bit of a porker. I’m sure that you can inspire people in this area too. Cheers. Matt
Calvin, you got to try Anteps Wolverton. It'd Turkish food, some of the best I've tried in the area including Northamptonshire
Great video calvin .
Atlas Gym in Wolverton is good too!
@Cavin's car Diary Yooo, what was the kid using on a drill to clean the seats? great idea! Brush attachment?
Love this type of video 💪 love that dc5
Anyone know the name of the music calv uses in his intro?
Mountains damma beatz
Why did your hoody have no laces on it in the 1st scene but did on the way to gym?
25.37 that “rising sun” look of the glare whilst in the DC5… couldn’t plan that shit 😂
What do you when the customer keeps calling you ,saying his car has broken down . i fixed a problem he had a week ago but know he's got another issue with the EGR . The car is a second hand 2012 vw Passat 2.0 tdi . The repairs are eating up my profit .
🤯 Someone passed on the Alpina 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keep smashing it bro!
That honda and bm are both Dundee Scotland registered cars SP is Tayside
This is a good format you should do like a this week at binca
The vtec crossover 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Calvin ....how about a review on the mercedes e class coupe .
Calv put the Alpina back on planet of dreams and don’t offer a cash alternative!! It’s such a shame for a car like that to not go to a petrol head. Alpina + touring ❤️
Is that mk8 fiesta in stock ? Would be good to see a video on that
As a car dealer is it hard to sell cars with damage categorys on them? Just curious.
Busy busy, all go, great content
Please make a video on the megane rs man if you ain't sold it yet
Hope to see you on tv soon calvin
Love the content and would be all over that S3 or M135i. 🔥 🔥. 🤞🏻
I head towards gym everyday but there's a McDonald's on route so I go there instead then go home. It's much more enjoyable?
If luke don't want the m3 I'd happily have it as a weekend summertime classic 👍 absolutely great thing your doing calv I personally find it greedy when people want the cash instead , everyone seems to be money grabbing these days, how could you turn down a free m3! It'd owe you nothing but maintenance 😫
Given the cost of living crisis it’s understandable. Not everyone can afford to maintain and keep the car
@S Rah exactly , so why enter a competition to win a free car if your going to struggle to run it , imagine if calv turned round and said no cash prize and for that I'm going to redraw the competition, golden rule live within your means , calvs giving away grands worth of cars for free and for some people that's just not good enough.

@@srah1718 definitely, shame for those who genuinely need or want it
hey calv , may we have a preview of that crossfire please and your opinion about it and all that
If you need a roofer to change those roofsheet skylights hit me up
Great episode
What did you buy first, the chicken, or the eggs?
I would had love the alpina, especially now that with a baby I need a bigger car.. shame they didn’t go for it.
No it's a shame someone like you didn't win it , yeah life's hard but your the perfect scenario for calv giving someone something they actually need! We're all in different positions in life and it's a proper gutting I didn't enter in the alpina for the exact reason is its not suitable for me as I have a daily diesel , the m3 on the other hand is more ideal as a weekend treat
Calvin quick question. Do you always start up every cars engine everyday just so that the battery never dies?
Class video, would of loved to of won that M3
amazing content omg i am bolloxt just watching your daily life you are some man for one man stunning work you provide you are a credit to your channel and belive me bro you will make tv content you are just so good amazing at what you do its just stunning to watch good on you bro and all the crew im delighted for the new unit
I would've loved that Alpina.
Why not turn one of the smaller units into a photography zone? Full control over lighting 365 days a year no matter the weather etc
Seems like the ideal space, then the space is still a ‘money making’ zone.
Luke must of found out about the cracked rear floor e46 M3's nearly all suffer with 😂
Would off loved the alpina
Yeah calv I’d rather have White Lines too pal
Would love to see a starlet glanza v / gt turbo on the channel one day that would be cool
That type r is amazing can’t believe it’s not been sold and I would of given up that m3 😊
Video of that Audi Tt 3.2🤔
Top vid calv 😎👍
Calvin, is that Silver 3DR R still there? Or sold already?
Nice one Calvin. Good to see the changes.
One car you need to put on the channel is a 2006 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG saloon 💯
That young boy was over the moon
How come no Control Customs retrims anymore?
I think only dream catchers should have the option of a cash prize, and if you win for completely free then you shouldn’t have a cash prize option
Bought a new white Type R in 1998 on an R reg. then bought a new red one a year later after regretting selling the white one, i loved those cars 😊 notice he didn’t show the seat bolsters? guaranteed they’ll be fucked…..
As a part time trader with dreams of expanding I think to myself perhaps it's just not worth it....
Gym for me isn’t the only way of getting exercise though
But yeah agree with daily exercise
This video reminded me that I’m paying for a gym membership without going 😅. Thanks for the motivation
I like your style mate train everyday discipline is key
