- We're back renovating Custard after 6 months!
After spending just 5.5 weeks renovating this incredible yellow beast and experiencing van life around Europe last summer, we decided it was time for a few touch ups!
There are a fair few essential things we missed out on her initial renovation like a water heater, grey tank and smaller interior bits like tiling the kitchen (which evidently led to curry stained walls Haha)
Bus stats:
2001 Mercedes Vario 814
4.2 Litre Diesel
Was 24 seats (now 2)
Air Suspension

Haha you two always keep us laughing. Thinking we need to incorporate a few more of these midday naps and cupcakes into our van build routine 🤣
We can’t recommend it highly enough 😆 it’s a strong marriage saver!
Cracking... great Sunday evening entertainment!! So good to see Custard again... solid gold!!
You two are my absolute favs! Looking good, I can't wait to see what you've got planned with the wrap job 👌

The most perfect intro EVER lol! Love watching videos like this, they are so satisfying! Fixing little things and making it even more homie! You don't steep your socks? Try it for sure lol. Not sure that is the hair for jigsawing lol, but if you're getting rimed who cares ahahah! The tile looks great, mum should have gotten the curry and nap as a reward. damn, I need to start keeping cupcakes in my car....
You guys ROCK! Watched the earlier release for Patrons, but watching again..you guys make me laugh and smile great addition to my morning coffee! ❤️
😊♥️🥳
😂😂😂Lost it at "Who's getting rimmed?"
😂😂 our mums watch these 🙈
Kinging- It Bahaha 😂😅
The crown hair clip! Yes!
The SONG IS BACK 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Pissing the bed absolutley killed me, laughing my head off at work.. Love you guy's so glad i found your channel xx
Hahaha he's such a pleb 😂
Brilliant - that opening cracked me up
I’ve always looked forward to these videos while in lockdown here but you not posted in ages 😂 but here we go I think your both awesome keep up the good work on your videos and channel keep them coming can’t wait for more videos hopefully soon 👍🏻
Thanks mate. We’ve been consistent with videos every week but not all of them have been about custard. ☺️ thanks for watching
PORTUGAL has so much that you can explore, and big routes you can take, as well as beaches, mountains and also beautiful old cities! We'll be waiting for you and custard!
It’s on the list Felícia! Portugal is one of our fave places! X
Smashing amazing vlog 👍🏴👍
Glad you resurrected Custard’s theme song! ❤️
happy to see you guys back in Custard xoxo
Thanks Hannah! It’s good to be back! 😊🚌
Love it! Can’t wait to see what Custards new custom wrap looks like!
Also, video idea: tour of Aimee’s closet! Wanna see all the scarves! And maybe her collection of hair 😂
(Full disclosure, I too have drawers full of hair extensions and wigs).
Hah LOVE it! Someone else asked for this recently but we try to keep our TH-cam for our travels! So I may take the hair/ clothes to instagram one of these days! 🥳
🤣🤣 you two are a crack up! Where have you been all my life lol. First time I've seen your vids I've so subscribed. Love your accents, my hubby is from the UK. I also love the layout of your bus/van. Kat xx 😊
Aww Hey Kat! Thanks so much for watching - and subscribing! 😊♥️
@@kingingit thank you so much for the reply! You guys rock. Your very welcome 😊💖⚘
Yay hi custard 🥰🏴
That song is just everything
Round the coast of Wales start to finish visiting EVERY beach and town that can be reached in Custard beauty begins at home and we are all going to see a lot more of the UK this year Happy Travels xx
Ok thanks Sam and Jane, we'll be back in 5 year! 😂 haha that's a beautiful plan though.. we'd love to truly explore Wales' nooks and crannies!!
@@kingingitHow about Barry to Bagillt, Broughton or Bretton - The Long Way round as a working title for the next adventure that would be a great one to plan - We'll be down to Barry and The Gower as soon as lockdown allows - looking forward to seeing you both on the road again.
Love the absolute most british thing about your van ; wallpaper . Legends
O sweeeet!!! NC500, Ireland coast and Wales is in my to do list this year and next. Buzzin! You can never get bored of Wales or Scotland, I've been a fair few 🤙, first time going Ireland though. Woop
Sounds great Chris! maybe see you on the road!
Hey guys, love having the custard videos back. My first big Road trip was around Norway. It was incredible, I daresay it would even beat the views from your Switzerland vid. So much to see and do. Highly recommend!
This is SO high on our list Alex!! Would be very exited to sit down and plan a trip around Norway! Was it easy enough for campers?!
@@kingingitOur trip was done in cars and we stayed in hostels and camp sites with tents. But most of the places we stayed had campers and alot of them are free areas around the fjords and mountains which was the dream really. Just watch out for license plate camera tolls, they caught me out :P Would be awesome to see you guys do some of the same stuff!
@@kingingit Norway is very setup for campers and camping... they have a "freedom to roam" law which basically means that you can sleep anywhere to encourage people to get outside! I've got lots of family both in the south and north (above the arctic circle), and both parts of the country are incredible. Just make sure when planning your itinerary eventually that you keep in mind that Norway is a super long country... maps can be misleading. Getting from the south to the north can take you 20+ hours driving! If you ever want some recs let me know x
Do the South West coastal route! The Somerset coast is a bit dodge but once you start getting into Devon, Cornwall and the Jurassic Coast it's all blimmin beautiful! Let us know if you do, drinks are on us!
Oh never thought of doing that, sounds amazing! We do love a Welsh road trip too 😁
Yes! I would love to see this trip!
Best Intro ever!
😂😂 cheers guys!
Hello Aimee & Craig! Greetings from Vietnam! Just found your channel - love it!!! Wishing and sending you good!!! ✨💓😇
Hello Meigo! (Amazing name by the way!) thanks so much for watching! So glad you found us - how did you find us? We’re always intrigued to know! 🥳♥️
Have a Google of North Coast 500 Scotland, stunning road trip! I'm planning on cycling it late August
Aw amazing! We were suppose to head that way before the lockdown - so it's high on the list!!
@@kingingit Until you can get overseas, i'd say NC500 too.
Kinging- It soon as lockdowns over im heading there! If i see custard il come and say hello 🤣
@@kingingit Im in Fort William, hit me up if you need any advice on places to visit and mountains to hike ;) if you doing NC500 go thru west coast ;)
@@kingingit can't wait for the content! Your pod casts get me through my night shifts, working towards building my own van 🤴
omg come for the thumbnail stay for the renos!!!
🤣🤣 thanks for staying for the renos ♥️
Hi Custard, so good to see you again after all this time. It's a shame your supporting act have been neglecting you. Hopefully they will manage to get a bit more motivated. You have to forgive them. This lockdown problem has had that demotivating effect on lots of people. It's a good job Craig's mum came to the rescue! I can't wait to see where you are going to take Craig and Amy. I seem to remember Bala and Barmouth Bay are well worth a visit. There are lots of places in your beautiful country to enjoy until you can go into foreign countries (like England). Have a great time!
🤣🤣🤣 we'll pass on the message!
Just stumbled across your channel and you guys are bloody amazing!!!
Whoop! Thanks for sticking around Elaine! (Can we ask where you found us from!?)
@@kingingit just looking at van conversions on TH-cam as I am thinking about doing one myself but a bit worries about doing it on my own so looking for ideas and cane across you guys!! On another note I live in dorset and that is definitely somewhere you should put on your list of places to travel!! Xx
Amazing! Well we’re two very us knowledgable folk over here and between us and a lot of lovely friends and tradesman .. we managed it! You can do it Elaine! Have the faith and it will be tour pride and joy!
Happy birthday beautiful lady 🎉🎈🎉🎈🎉🎈😘🎂🥂
Thanks Susan 😊♥️
Scotland is amazing. So is eastern Europe, we spend months in Romania, Bulgaria. Croatia and Albania is cool too.
Ooooh Custard, you tart! Great job my lovelies 😄🤙🏻
Haha big old custardy tart! 🤣
A coastal tour of Scotland would be cool - i've always wanted to do that
Us too Steve, great shout 👍
That bus theme song was everything 😆
Haha we're going for Christmas no.1
Visit Devon and Cornwall. Voted no 1 & 2 places to visit in UK. Thanks for the vid. Great to see you both well and happy!
Sounds like a plan Ian! Would love to visit down there 😁
Love custard 💛 I want her to stay yellow
Ah sorry mate we’ve already designed a whole new colour for her! She’s outgrown her yellow 😆
Try a trip theough Hampshire New Forrest,Bournemouth through Sandbanks, Studland,Corfe castle,smugglers inn with waterfall onto beach, just before Weymouth. Portland Tout quarry sculpture park and nature reserve. Dorset,Devon,Cornwall St Ives & all the hidden places inbetween, cider museum tank museum so much to see and do.
I felt so betrayed after that thumbnail, but you guys totally redeemed yourselves with the avatar costume!! Brilliant costume.
You should go to Scotland! We drove part of the north Coast 500. It was so amazing! Wild Scotland!
A VERY popular choice! We were suppose to be heading that way before the lockdown.. so it's high on the list!
Thanks for the laugh guys! I needed it. 😹😹
Always welcome Kathleen. Hope you’re okay 😊♥️
I lived in South Devon Totnes area for a while, it's beautiful there. A little bit to drive for you guys, but really worth it.
We went to Devin for the first time over New Years with the Mongol rally boys - absolutely beautiful! We’d LOVE to head back down that way! 😎🚌
@@kingingit I lived there for 40 years, it ain't bad.
Ive just found you guys and you are so hilarious! Just off this im subscribing & watching all your other videos :P
Ahh champioooonie! Thanks a bunch miss - glad to have you on board, welcome to the mad house 😂
@@kingingit Yas Glad to be on board :D
whistable in kent has a lot of van life. more specififcally Tankerton slopes
Nc500... Nice trip round the north of Scotland
On the list for sure! Would love to see that!
Can't help but to look, sorry Mate, but she is Beautiful! Happy Belated Aimee!! I hope it was marvelous!! I love you guys, and I cant wait until custard is done, and you are back on the road. I love your travel videos.. And if you ever get back around the Germany area, and want to meet a fan ( A Yank that has been living here for 25+ years..)... let me know!! Rimmed! ROFL!!
Rimmed hahaha. You are right Jon, she is a babe! Will give you a shout if we ever head back to Germany! 😆
Custard! 💛
You can borrow some of my "push up" Aimee..would do my back a world of good😄
Love the t-shirt!! Brugge 🇧🇪 I am from Antwerp 🤘🏼
Loved it... Average viewing time for me was 19m22s 👌🏼
Love you guys from Dubai ❤️
Hello Dubai! Thanks for tuning in 😁
Take her to the Orkneys in Scotland. One of the best trips you will ever do in this country. The people are bloody awesome and the scenery is fkin incredible. Sit on the beach till 2/3 in the morning and it’s like 6/8 our time in the summer. Best yet! You can camp up wherever you want free 😁😘🙏
Closer to home fontygary lol
hope your both are having a Cracking trip :-)
Down the gower lads 👍🏴
That's on the list!
Hope to see you there 👍🏴 stay safe ❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙
Two Adventures a bit closer to home.......Around Ireland on a Custard and The Outer Hebrides on a Custard....welcome😃
Thanks Stu! will have to google the outer Hebrides! (our Geography sucks)
😂😂😂think we all feel like that do something ,have a little break ( 🤔🤔2hours later ) 😂😂😂
Great to see you both .. Good luck with custard
Haha we are terrible! So easy when there are no deadlines
Loving that intro...Oi Oi Saveloy.
😂😂 Craig pimping me out for the views hahaha
Kinging- It Tits sell. 😂
Visit my home country Slovakia ❤ when the restrictions are lifted. It's beautiful in August/September. Or winter months with lots of snow and amazing outdoor spas with heated water, lots of outdoor activities and amazing Christmas markets ❤ Flying the nest visited last year as well and it was amazing watching their vlogs talking about my favourite places 😊
We’ve been to Slovakia Martina! It was gorgeous! We didn’t have much time to stop when we went though so would be lovely to go back!
That thumbnail intro was a hoot
😂😂
Awesome to see you both and the lovely Custard again - Wales is always gorgeous, but Lake District? um Scotland? South West into Cotswolds?
Sounds good to us! Scotland is top of the list I think! Thanks for watching again Jan!
Craig must be a mind reader 🤣. Great video guys.
😂😂
Hey Custard, you’re looking real fine. Can’t wait to see your new wrap. What?!, Skillympics fired you guys...they will rue the day and beg you to come back. Welcome back to ‘almost’ normal. You will, hopefully, have the whole country to roam around soon. What about far north of Scotland and try some of the islands.
Haha thanks M C! We'll only go back if they mention a pay rise...
Fingers crossed for the free roaming soon!! Scotland is definitely on the list!!
NC500! It’s amazin’
You done it Paula? It was on our list to do before the lockdown!
Worried a little that Custard won't be able to make a lot of the roads though?!
Go to Scotland guys! Do the NC 500 in custard! We were just about to as lockdown hit! 😫 Getting up there ASAP!
We were too Angie!! Would be very keen as soon as it opens back up to head up that way! (Hopefully custard will be finished!) have you heard any news on when it might be open again to the far away public?
Guys please don't stop the skillympics it's the best thing on TV, 😂 it's the best lockdown content I've watched, one every 2 weeks pleeeeeeaaaaaassse, custard go on guys 💕💕💕you can come freely anywhere in England, so let's go guys
Honestly guys, we would love to but the editing was taking us 3-4 days and we didn't have time for anything else! Back on the custard vlogs and renovations now so they'll have to entertain you for now 😉
@@kingingit have loved content during the lockdown thank you guys 😎 ❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕😍
Padding was doing nothing let’s be real🤣 great video as always guys👍🏼
Haha it was all in the padded bra! 😂😂 but I wasn't about to fling that off -- our channel will get shut down! 😂
Happy Birthday 🎂🎁🎈🎊 May this year bring you more happiness🍾🥂 Road trip??? Scandinavian countries?🧐
Whoop!! thanks a bunch! - That's the dream!! Fingers crossed we'll be able to when it all opens up!
Hi Aimee, will you let us know what Co. You get your wigs. Thanks luv!
Oh, I have missed this spoilt yellow cow. I shall miss her custardy custard colour, but it's what's on the inside that counts, after all; idn't? Much love! 😉👍🏻💛

It's on the list Lou! Were suppose to head that way before the lockdown!
Scottish Highlands has to be on your list 🙏
It sure is 😊 hoping Custard can get up the hills 😂
@@kingingit That was my concern also, but it'll make for a great "will she, won't she" segment 😉
That was great news that the new episod of the Mongol Rally is coming!
Whoop! Glad you're excited for it Maz.. you planning on doing the rally yourself?!
@@kingingit I'd love to, have to get my visa for Europe first though 😂 being born in Iran doesn't help there. 😒😂😂😂

Brilliant 🤣
We’ve learnt with our van to not leave food in it over winter, major mouse nesting sesh in ours year 😂, even ate my flip flops , a t shirt or two etc 🤪. Your not on ya own, the clean up project was 🤯🙈
Nice Craig, my daughter made me a glasses chain like that 😎 is your hand made 🧐

Do the North Coast 500. Scotland is beautiful probably Britain's best road trip
Thanks Julian - was suppose to be heading that way before the lockdown! it's defo on the list!
I’m with you Aimee! Cupcakes, lippy and naps!! And once (maybe twice 😉) I put tissues in my bikini top and when I went swimming, the tissues came out and floated all around my friends. Not my finest moment! 😂 So Happy to see you and Craig back in Custard! xxxx
hahaha no way! 😂
Who’s getting rimmed? 😂😂. I reckon you guys should get custard on a ferry over to Ireland and do an Irish road trip when you can 🥰👏🏽.
Haha we’d love to! It’s my (Aimee) home country! 💚 🇮🇪
