To be fair to him.
His heart must have sank when he saw the overgrown garden in front of the doors.
Not a 2 minute job sorting that. As someone else said, it’s a win for the householder to get free clearance.
Anyway, overall it’s a good channel with a likeable presenter imo.
Yes but as I said in an earlier post, surely it would have made more sense to get the guy he met on site to clear that before he arrived, that way he would have had more time with the cars, just seemed rushed with little time for the cars.His heart must have sank when he saw the overgrown garden in front of the doors.

He explained in this video and in that recent podcast why he doesn't do any of that in advance, and just shows up on the day to do whatever is necessary himself. It's the whole point of the video to dig the cars out from where they've been left. Without that it would just be a video of a bloke starting a car.

Spending all that time digging them out added nothing to the video, I respect he does not visit before but in this case it would have been worth it so he had more time with cars and getting them running.

I have given up on more than one youtube channel because their restorations were running into years. Somehow Harry kept it interesting.
Project Binky anyone? Smollet said:
I never really thought that some bloke finding old cars in varying states of disrepair and trying to get them to work again would be so captivating but it is. I
I find the opposite. You see one, you've seen them all. The owners are all the same tragic hoarders who cant bear to throw anything away. Some clearly have "issues" JS is a easy going presenter. But in a way his turning up and featuring the owners and the cars reinforces their ridiculous behaviourBunkMoreland said:

SheeeeeeeyitttGot bored after about 8 minutes... My impressions, nice design but 30% too expensive and 30% too heavy....
Battery weight @ circa 500kgs was mentioned, it got me thinking - Where does the other 2.1 tonnes come from? I must be missing something but there can't have been much thought gone into weight saving surely?

I haven't watched this one as it holds no interest to me, but I recall a recent Smith & Sniff podcast where Jonny said he had to stop filming at one point because he was being followed by an old Skoda Estelle and he found it distracting because it was far more interesting than what he was trying to review.
