This is beautiful! I myself have been having fun lately building an alcohol torch using a design I kinda invented, just out of copper sheet and copper tubing - there is still some more tuning to be done but it doesn't work too bad and it's been quite fun (I have a short clip showing it on my shitty channel), so this video is highly interesting to me. I wanna build one of these now, much better design than mine lol :)

Alex and Julie Watched all your epic journey episodes in one go. What an incredible achievement. Two amazing people and a legendary piece of engineering. I love your P50. I have a collection of over thirty bubble and micro cars including a trident but not a P50. Really enjoyed your commentaries and Julie’s happy smile. Love to visit your engineering workshop one day.

Hello Great video by the way and jolly well done with raising the funds for the children! Can I ask is the car you used in the video an original 1960s one or one of the modern reproduction ones made at the current trading Peel company in England? And you say you did 50 mph!! I thought the repros can only do 28 mph.

Around 4:25 till the end … The 2 guys in the background, Who were looking out to sea… Me & my brother doing our own tour of Scotland 🏴 We left Manchester & went along the full coast & also went inland to see a few sites too Then along the coast back to Manchester 😊 It’s like our first time was perfectly planned to see the sights while hearing the delightful sound of bagpipes in the background, Thank you 🙏 It made our trip even better, Also the little car was cool to get a few pictures of aswell.

My mother had several "wringer" washers. She didn't want an automatic and only got one under protest, but she ended up liking it. Years later, we got her an automatic dishwasher, which she ended up loving because she hated doing dishes.

Very interesting. I'm almost 77 years old and remember my mother using one of these machines. Here in the USA, Hotpoint was made by our General Electric Co. And, we call the mangler the wringer. And, yes, my mother goofed and ran her hand through the wringer, she panicked and hit the reverse lever instead of the release bar. Where are you from, and did GE make this washer?

A well presented video. But I have a question: Your modern blowtorch I suspect from the colour was Mapp gas, my modern torch is butane/ propane powered ( blue or silver cans) which I believe is not quite as hot as Mapp, so does the old burner beat butane/ propane? I ask because I am about to restore exactly the same paraffin model and hope to braze so I am hoping for the higher temperature.

Fantastic video, Alex. A great place to park the Peel while you are away this summer, too. It fits in so well there. Someone needs to take on a project to make a full-sized Matchbox Series type box for it to be kept in. I used to have the Hornby train sets when I was a child - I remember having the Flying Scotsman and a few others but sadly the phase passed quickly and I moved on to Scalextric slot car race sets. I had a lot a of cars/trucks and track and modified and repainted a lot of the cars. Did they have any Scalextric there? 👍🏻

Great old machine to play with, Alex. I have a new-ish Hoover automatic but I also have a 1970s Hotpoint twin tub. As i grew up we had, in sequence, a Hoover single tub with the hand cranked mangle, a 1960s Hoover twin tub with a manual rinse and then later on another Hoover twin tub with an automatic rinse facility. It had an orange (1970s trendy ! ) swivel spout that doubled up as a wash tub filler also. When that eventually died we had the Hotpoint twin tub which I think, on balance was a little superior to the Hoover. Now from nostalgia I bought a Hotpoint one again from ebay and enjoy getting my hands wet doing a bit of laundry. Keep up the good work Olde Chappe

Excellent footage in Brooklands, particularly the WW2 aircraft and buses (worked for a bus company in the UK 30 years ago). Oh and the van, which I recognise as I've seen a few of them at various car shows over here. There were two identical to yours, parked in a car port thing in our village at one time. Although, those were ex military ambulances. Great video & bonne continuation.

Must put Brooklands on the list of places to visit next time I’m back home in the UK. It’s good that you are allowed to weave in your own stories to the teachings there - so important that stories like those are kept alive now the original storytellers are no longer with us. I used to be a frequent visitor to Middle Farm, even before there was a shop there. My grandparents lived at the end of the next road going towards Eastbourne.
