    A Datsun 120Y is really the car you should take to Norway for some ice driving and sideways action, i'm Norwegian and i had a 120Y over 20 years ago.
    That car was amazing in the winter, it was so easy to control that it could be driven sideways in a straight line. Also the heater was brilliant, +30°C inside the car was no problem even if the temperature outside was -25°C.
    Fun fact: the grill from a Toyota Corolla KE30 fits on the 120Y if you put it upside down, i learned that because of some sideways action that ended up in someones garage door.

    • @kieranjamieson

      Was the Corolla behind the garage door? Did you break their door and then steal their grill? 🤣

    • @FryNOR
      @FryNOR Před 4 měsíci +2

      in Australia we had a Chrysler Galant that was a similar size to the 120y etc... the 2 litre engine with a decent intake/exhaust and a cam was weapon, i never raced an Escort but it would have had a bloody good crack at them!

      I had a 1979 Datsun pickup that I bought out of a field in probably 2008.
      Put a battery on it it started right off.
      It had been parked for 2 years cause the radiator sprang a leak.
      I fixed it, and used it as a farm truck.
      It never got stuck, and no matter how cold or hot it was It always started.
      It didn't have a heater.
      It had flaps that you could open on the firewall under the dashboard with a lever so the engine heat could heat the inside of the car.

    Knockhill is a great track, I live about 40 minutes away and have taken my TVR around it a few times. The Old Military Road up through the Cairngorms is a great, great road (along with the Glenshee ski slopes that are open in the summer for a pit stop). You should definitely stop at the Still Art installation overlooking Tomintoul, basically a big square mirror and its pretty cool, just on the side of the road up a small path.

    On the subject of automotive injuries My dad is a mechanic, and one time he was trying to break something loose or pry on something and had a long pipe over a wrench for leverage. Well the pipe slipped out of his hand and as it did, a metal bur on the end of the pipe severed a tendon in his thumb. Doctors had to surgically reattach it buy going down his forearm and grab the tendon and pull it back to the thumb

    I knew a lady once, she got her finger cut off behind a farm tractor, they had a plough on the back doing some work and she was back there helping getting it read and lost a finger, they put the finger in ice and go to the hospital and they reattach it and it was good after that, felt a little bit weird she said, weather could have effects on it but it was working again soon after, amazing, and this was over 20 years ago now!

    Clean the soot off the cars right away Taylor, its pretty corrosive stuff once it gets wet, I used to do fire and flood restoration for business's, and the areas where the fire and subsequently the area that gett wet once the firefighters deal with it were always the areas where the flash corrosion would be really bad, bearing in mind we'd probably be turning up a week later after everythings rusty....as for the structure, if your doing it yourself get some cheap high alkaline cleaner like daisy from tesco and some scouring sponges and use that on all the walls to clean soot off, you then need to spray a clear varnish over it to seal it, otherwise the patches of left over soot will come back through the fresh paint you put on the wall.

    Popped across to Tom's channel, that XJC is a work of art. I'd suggest to get the most money you can for the charity, team up with one of the car lottery/giveaway sites and do a raffle on it. You can then raise much more than the car is worth as a single sale.

  • @poppy11th
    @poppy11th Před 4 měsíci

    Alex, first I’ll start by giving some positive feedback. Your channel is great and the chemistry between you all on camera is brilliant and you remain down to earth which is invaluable in todays CZcams of supercars.
    I do however find myself watching less and less of your videos and I’ve been trying to think why. I’ve come to the conclusion that the relatability of buying shit boxes and cheaper more affordable cars has been somewhat lost. And no I’m not talking about the Porsche as I can appreciate anyone jumping at the chance of a dream car. It’s the amount of cars you’re buying. You buy and buy while neglecting most of your collection. How is 30+ cars relatable in any way ? I think a lot of us would rather see a smaller collection of cars that are featured more in the videos and then sell on once you’ve got your use out of them.
    Classic example of what I mean is the trading up series. It fell by the wayside but when you found the Porsche you used the series as an excuse to buy the Porsche and gave theoretical values to the cars you’ve yet to sell.
    It’s a small complaint but i find myself clicking on I bought X videos less and less.

When got back from the outside bin I discovered the noise was my foot on top of a mouse. That was my first time discovering the anatomy of a field mouse as all its organs was on my freshly mopped kitchen floor.
