He has just published a short update... the reliable Korean car stopped functioning.

Not really a channel I would choose to watch.

However, back last year and because of Covid his channel content was drying up. He purchased and recommissioned a 1982 Cabover Peterbilt.

He has been using to haul oversized loads . That is quite an achievement.

This video starts of with a chat to camera. For me, the interesting bit is where he starts to roll out of the parking and along the road (5:30ish)  Boy the sound, the exhaust stacks, The patina of the cab. I love it.

Been watching "Look at Life" on Talking Pictures, not realising they are all on YouTube. D'oh.

Anyone know what the (presumably Post Office) van is at 0:46?

I tried various reg combos  as it's unclear - KJ?213P or is it MJ?213P

I reckon it could be one of these

Buses going through certain parts of birmingham use the same side windows as this thing.

Lol.

Sadly he was a motor engineer who cut his teeth on an AEC Matador, not a bin man

Citroen BX with two... TWO drivers electric window switches. Mr. Ambassador, you really are spoiling us!  OK, wrong car. 

Tribute to @dollywobbler as well. 🙂

The Daimler SP250 Dart was never a looker but bloody hell that's ugly.

Cool technology for the time though.

Dunno about YouTube moments, so much as I've had a moment... *does numbers*

I very much enjoyed this! love that the Lada Niva is back in the UK in some sort of semi-official capacity

lovely "late registration madness" with the 21 plate  

if only I had the means to buy one!

its interesting too looking at it on the DVLA checker online shows no CO2 rating, so that means it goes by Pre 2001 Tax rates from what I understand

which gets around any potentially crippling road tax issues  

 

perhaps  solution for @Zelandeth until he can afford a Tesla? I mean its got Power steering now so the rest of the household should be able to manage it right?  

(I just want to see someone on here buy a new Nivia, or UAZ 452 or 469 LOL)

From what I've seen by the crowd importing these, it doesn't go by pre-2001 tax rates and these are (somehow) ULEZ compliant.

I think though that if you're going through these people is that you have to do the whole type approval thingymabob yourself (they'll help you of course). So you need to fit the fogs and do all the other stuff to get DVSA approval.

That said, for £13,000 you can't go wrong.

Although you can, as these Niva's are end of life and use thinner steel than the older ones.

Which I still want.

Discussed in more 'depth' on today's Smith and Sniff podcast.

This is a great car.

Rust Removal with... Salt & Vinegar.

I had watched Edd China's video on restoring his fuel tank, he tried vinegar on it's own and it didn't seem to do anything. I had did it before on the Corolla using salt & vinegar and it worked wonders. So I made a video about it. You might find it interesting with your tank @Remspoor!

[JeeExEll]

What's the modern equivalent to this?  Sadly I don't think there is one. 

The rather basic 1972-75 Consul 3000GT / Granada 3000S were similar concepts.

Ford missed a trick there by not offering a Mk2 1600E or 1600GT with twin 40 side-draught Webers from new, (although many would have been converted later in the 70s).

Too late. The tank is back in coated with that paint waiting for some petrol. I have photos of the last bit but I have not got around from downloading them from the phone.

Off to watch the video to see how you get on.
