if anyone can make that tank right it will be Jack he is a hard working talented man!

You never cease to amaze me. Your insight, compassion, empathy and knowledge into humanity and our existence is truly incredible. How you manage to put into words and clarify what and how we may be feeling is a pleasure to listen to. Maybe it is a matter of how like minded people gravitate towards those whom we resonate with. I don’t know. All I can say is that you must resonate with so many of us and I thank you.

That Abbot hasn't been a runner for a long long time. Hope Jack got it at a good price. Looking forward to how you guys put it back together! Going to need more than a lick of paint! Great content as always guys.

so sad the gun got chopped sometime it looks wierd

when i see old tanks get restored that have had a hard life only to be loved and running again without having to be shot at is very touching :) its like when an old war dog finds a soft couch to relax on it is touching

Keep up the good work lads ! Very entertaining ,informative and a pleasure to watch ,it’s good to see you bring these giants back to life . Have any of you worked in R E M E or the tank regiment

The tank that every bloke wants, purely to take their mates to the pub. Can't wait to see you lads work your magic on it. If you're ever passing through Disley and need a volunteer....😁

I love the comedy. That's what keeps me coming back.

You guys have come along way from that first restoration. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming because they are very entertaining
