    It's only waffle when people are talking crap or talking for the sake of it but when it is informative and interesting its well worth listening to. Chris is a mind field of interesting stuff and really knows what he is on about. You make a great team and are a pleasure to watch and I think I can safely say we all look forward to your video's.

    When Chris spoke about vehicle inspections I think it would be better for everyone if salvage rebuilt cars were inspected. It would help decent shops build reputation and get all the cowboy garages black listed.
    Chris seems to be in his happy place whenever there is some panel work to do.

    Hi Rob. Chris 's explanation of the repair process is impeccable . With 53 years experience this would be "ad verbatum" how l would explain the repair process . I couldn't actually see the grips as the film was on fast foward but l think they are probably "fish tail " mole grips . Regarding the V. I. C check l'm proud to say that when l took my repair to be scrutinized . The inspector came out and said " There's only one person who could have repaired this and that's John Davey !". I had no idea who he was and he had no idea who l was in person but it was a super feeling ! Chris would comfortably fill my boots ! Thanks Guys

    I’m so impressed with Chris and his knowledge in these repairs , really top class stuff . I just had someone reverse their transit van into the front of my 68 plate Nissan leaf , it was a Big Crunch sound but not much damage to see but the local Nissan repair centre just quoted 4k to put it right . Thankfully they admitted full liability so it’s covered by their insurance.
