I find watching Taylor work a very calming presence

@joe_sandtoe 9 months ago

as a generic car guy with not a ton of mechanic experience, i really appreciate these videos as i learn so much. Taylor explains things so well and gives me a little more confidence to do some of the more advanced mods/work on my car (with youtube tutorials of course)

i love taylor, he is great on camera and has great knowledge, honestly a top presenter, great work

Taylor, I was advised with that rust converter to pour some out into a container and dip the brush into that, rather than directly in the bottle - because you'll contaminate the bottle with rust flakes from the brush and it'll go off. 🙂

Usually I'd agree with your aesthetical choices Taylor but US-style sidelights are an eye-sore, on every car imo!

Love how Trev is just making cameos whenever he feels like it 🤣

Taylor seems much calmer and at peace when Alex is not near him. 😊

You should send the nice chap who gave you the cam some merch. Maybe you could start interviewing some enthusiast from the mini club and let them tell what inspired them to become passionate for cars.

It's good to see they all can choose decent tyres when they don't need to fit in a sponsor section for it! Fab work, Taylor!

Red loctite off, blue loctite on. Nice 😂

Now Alex needs to get green Mini so you guys can do Italian job.

@RitchyVerberck 9 months ago

colder plugs dont burn colder, they give the heat faster to the head so the plug itself stays cooler (to prevent pre ignition)

Nice of the guy in that Mini owners club forum thingy ancient technology messaged you and sent you the cam for free. Its a kind generous world out there...........somewhere.

God... Taylor just working on a car and yapping about the mechanical stuff is such therapy for me...

My experience of landlords is being told off for things I didn't do, taking my deposit for things I didn't do, and increasing the rent every 2 seconds.
Your landlord helps you fix a car! WTF?!
What a dude!
