If you are near Essex UK and are looking for a cheap 453 forfour EQ (electric drive), have a look here. I need the money and need the space. I sometimes go through dark times where I lose interest in it all. This is one of those times. The weather is crap, I don't...

I got in a waste disposal guy in a cage truck and finally cleared all the broken smart parts that I threw down the side of the workshop plus a load of stuff that was being stacked up in the workshop. So I have a bit more room. I have been really bogged down with VAT...

The old 451 ED is gone so that gave me a bit more room. I filled it full of old car parts which freed up even more space! I also managed to get rid of the cross trainer machine that the girl friend came home with 5 years ago, stuck in my workshop and then only used...

I wouldn't say I've been lazy over the last month but I have been a bit disheartened over a few things which reduced my productivity. The Hashtag 1 YouTube rebuild is going slowly and it was at the body shop for over 3 weeks. So I started playing with the CO2 laser...

So, I bought a crashed Hashtag 1 Brabus and started repairing it. Today I went for the first test drive. HOLY SHIT! That thing scared the pants off of me. They say 0 - 60 in 3.9 seconds but it's definitely quicker. I just need to sort out some dents and some paint....

Plans never work which is why I rarely plan. It annoys me when you make plans and then none of them happen. So just don't plan. I had ideas of getting rid of 1 car and then getting a cheap project car. The opposite happened. I got a car back and bought the most...

I started doing shit on YouTube 5 months ago, not just quick clips that aided the website. I actually talk in them! I have just got 2000 subscribers but I need you to subscribe as well. It's free. Click here and subscribe. We can take card payments again! FINALLY the...

OTV from team evilution got married last weekend, the week before I had to buy a suit and all that sort of shit, so that was 2 weekends gone. The weather hasn't been great and I've been doing what I can with the new YouTube channel. Please do me a favour and go and...

I spent 2 weekend ripping out my old office and setting up my new Mac, screens and desk. I can't believe how much shit I threw away. I'm being messed about by smart for headlights so I'm having issues completing my 1st YouTube project but luckily I'm quite a few...

If I wasn't already spread thin, I'm making my life harder by doing YouTube videos as well. I'm recording a video each Saturday and Sunday and I'll release 1 every 2 or 3 weeks. That'll give me a bit of a video buffer in case I can't record for some reasons. Please...

One of the few things that gets to me is accounting. Just the thought of doing the accounts makes me feel depressed and I generally transcend the situation by ignoring them. Obviously that just makes it worse and worse. I finally understood what to do and how they...

Due to a bug between a plug-in that we use and PayPal, we are seeing many recurring payments not being sent. The only option we have is to reset the account membership level back to "unpaid" and cancel the recurring payment through PayPal and hope that people...

Update from the last news because I know that everyone reads this (lol). I had 2 MOT's in 1 day. Double squeaky bum hole time. The 453 EQ mentioned in the last news was one of them and they both passed with no issues. Even with the radar warning. Sweet. The 451 ED...

It has been one of those months where things don't go the way you want. It all takes too long and I quickly lose interest. I wasted an entire weekend chasing fast flashing indicators in the 453 EQ fortwo. The front indicators wouldn't work which eventually turned out...

Working on cars over December is what I normally do as I'm off work. However, there are issues of doing this. Firstly it's bloody cold in my workshop and electricity costs too much to waste heating the work space. We had snow on the ground for 5 days. Secondly, I'm...

Just because the house extension has been completed, doesn't mean that stuff hasn't stopped being crazy here. My 451 ED every day driver died and is now stuck in the workshop. So I'm having to remove the battery to see if the BMS has shit itself. Despite being in park...

Good news, I'm still alive and now the building work is complete and a new kitchen has been fitted. Apart from some flooring and a bathroom suite, it's all done. I finally have room and can actually get to things in the workshop. Which is fortunate since my 451 ED...

My house is still undergoing a small single storey rear extension. The build that should take about 5 weeks is now entering week 16. Cheap, Good, Fast, choose 2. I chose cheap and good so he's not fast. I bought all the things I needed to decorate and and fit out the...

Normally the girlfriend goes away on holiday and I stay behind and do stuff to the house. I'd previously ripped out the bathroom, moved a wall over and fitted a new bathroom suite. Then there was Covid for 2 years so no holidays. This year however she was off to...
