That insurance quote I wonder what they would say if you said you put BC Racing Coilovers and a Scorpion Exhaust on it with a modified air intake and shift leaver. just asking as I have found them to be rather stupid recently. I also notice any carshop apart from Halfrauds has either vanished or everything is mail / pre-order.

What's your problem with the sponsor? Is there a bad dark reason we should know about? or is it just your personal taste? If it's the latter, don't worry about it, as long as the lads are getting money to cover their wage and produce content at a profit for the company, I see it as a good thing. I have no interest in hipster beers or many things channels are sponcerd by, but the majority of them are just other companies also trying to make it in this terrible economy we are in. At the moment I don't think it's been harder to make a living on your own since the late 70s ​@@9wowable

​@@mclarenjohnf1just don't get in an accident. Being that this is so public, and their is always some jealous people, I can see this video making its way to the insurer, one way of another. Given there are a number of channels now under the auto Alex umbrella, I'd assume they are looking at some form of trade insurance to try and cover all the employees on all of the vehicles. It could be subsidised by the company but you pay a nominal fee out of your wage. This could be a winner for all parties within the company. Maybe even the insurer could become a channel sponsor. A bit like MCM have with theirs. It's defo something I'd have someone (cough ...Taylor) pursuing.

I suspect the quote they got was without declaring any of the modifications they intended to make. Having inside knowledge on insurance schemes and loading, I imagine adding the coil-overs and exhaust would probably take it back up to £30k 🙁

Should have got him a crossfire 😎

Watching a decent young lad get a bargain, and introduced to working on cars with his mates - outstanding work, it genuinely doesn’t get any better 👌🙌

This is what car channels are supposed to be, it is amazing to see that sponsors are on board with your stuff from this early too. Genuine interactions with some useful pointer sprayed here and there, Ben being an absolute chad and ending up with what I would say a "dream" first project car. I love you guys, following you from Morocco.

When Edwin says "You look like Claire Balding" Brilliant! Pissed myself laughing!

Pushing out all the great content

this is exactly the content I want to see more of! as an apprentice mechanic and budding car guy myself these small first projects with a rookie are amazing to watch, keep knocking it out of the park guys!

Ben needs to learn just how lucky he is to be working on his car in a garage with an actual lift. Most of us are on sloped driveways with wheel chocks and jack stands doing what work we can manage with only 20-ish inches of clearance.

Glad I found this channel. Have spent a few hours binging everything! Top work chaps, subscribed!

This makes me so happy. The camera guys are often the unsung heroes - and it is so great that you two are giving him his chance to shine. And what a great chap he is - what an excellent addition to the TDC crew! Will and Edwin, you are both so great with him - it is such a pleasure to watch! He needs to go up against Ethan working on separate project cars!

Ben’s very natural in front of the camera. Definitely don’t mind seeing more of him. I think the insurance costs is what kills younger people’s interest in cars. They end up driving around in a car with 0.9l engine that you can’t work on. My 16y old son and me have started restoring a manual 1997 V70 T5. He thinks it’s going to be his first car 🤣🤣🤣 good luck with that🤦‍♂️ I’m not paying his insurance.

This video gives proud dad vibes 😂

I really enjoy the focus and completion in your videos guys. Other channels seem to just buy random things or create unfinished challenges with no long term plan/get caught up with a new one.

Love Ben's attitude, so pure and genuine! I would say it is even better to have someone who is willing to learn the basics in maintaining a car.

Ive never seen someone be so immediately comfortable on camera. Banter and charisma.. Ben is a natural.

Loved this episode, such a blast from the past. I used to own a pristine Monaco Blue 172 with Recaros. Was the best car I ever owned!

I've gotta say, a great formula to Matt Watson's videos is the involvement from his cameraman. Even the banter from behind the camera is a neat addition. Get loose, Ben! Have a voice/face to your brilliant behind the scenes work.
