Good evening everyone 😊
I just wanted to share a few more photos of Auntie No!!! and some thoughts that have been on my mind lately.
When I bought this car, I genuinely thought it would be a fairly straightforward project. A bit of tinkering, a few repairs, and back on the road. How wrong I was!
It’s incredible how many stories,…Read More

Had a marvellous day down at Hart Classics. Even helped my neighbour at the show jump his 53 Chevy Belair after he left his fan on. Good deed done as us petrolheads help each other out.

What a fantastic gathering! 😊 I do love these classic car shows, and one of the things I enjoy most is seeing how people are always willing to help each other. It never feels like a competition. Everyone is there for the same reason: to keep these wonderful cars on the road and to enjoy them together.
Sadly, that sense of community seems much…Read More-

If I can help someone I will. I also try to be nice to everyone, its a nice way to live. I can also talk for days…. Talking about the hobby. Well I am not a pensioner and I am big into the scene. I think they younger population of petrolheads is getting sick of the modern babying cars and all the needless tech, and there is increasing popularity…Read More

Black Betty in Bugantics
I was delighted to see that Black Betty (GGT 925) has been featured in the latest edition of Bugantics, the long-running magazine of the Bugatti Owners’ Club. Bugantics has been the club’s magazine for decades and remains one of the most respected publications in the historic motoring world.
Even better, the article…Read More

A little update from behind the scenes of Blacktag Octane…
For quite a while, I tried to keep YouTube organised into active “series” from start to finish. The problem is… real workshop life doesn’t really work like that 😅
While I’m focused on finishing one storyline, work on other cars keeps happening in the background… rallies, re…Read More

As I like to say. There is always someone worse off. Keep doing what you are doing, I enjoy each video. Only thing is I like them so much they could be double the length Haha. I appreciate we all have jobs to do and I guess editing takes time and much effort… What is your day job if you don’t mind me asking?

Thank you very much for your support, that’s very kind of you, and I’m really happy to hear that you enjoy every single video.
I’m constantly experimenting and trying to learn what people enjoy watching. For example, my hill climb videos don’t tend to perform very well, so I’ve stopped posting them quite as often.
Ironically, it would actually be…Read More-

You could get hit by a bus tomorrow so it is always important to follow your passion. What I love about the petrolhead community is the cars bring people together and for a lot of people their car is the only thing holding them together… I see what you mean about the length of videos. You also put your heart and soul into your YT channel which…Read More

You’re absolutely right, cars have a unique way of bringing people together, and the classic car community has been incredibly welcoming.
I really appreciate your honesty about the c…Read More

Its only 2 at the moment? Well me and Robert must have exquisite taste in YouTube. The only other channel I pay is called Roadtrip Revivals. Well worth checking him out. An Englishman in France. He also does raffles and I am hoping to win his LHD Ford Granada Mk2 with the Indenor Diesel and 5 speed box. Good for European touring. I would go…Read More

Keep the patina. All cars tell a story and if only they could talk. Obviously get it on the button and reliable enough, though.
