Watching him a long time but lately not so much.. The videos were better before it's really became a massive business.. Hats off to him he's a grafter and all round likable lad 👌
 
He originally was a bmx rider but returned home and was working at a car dealership during the day and working at a curry house in the evening. Come covid and everything shut down, he startted doing car fixing video's, now worth millions but as mentioned, definately works hard.

I thought he was going to say it cost about £150k

The thing is, something this far gone is beyond economical repair for a standard repair centre - he makes his money from the videos...doesn't need any profit back from the job. I doubt it would be worth £230k parted out given the electric elements could be damaged. What's the engine and gearbox worth if running? £120k tops?

The fact he's either kept the cars he's fixed, or given them away, shows how much he's pulling in from the vids.

Good luck to him, he's a very likeable lad - no matter what he comes up against, they laugh about it, then get on with it. Brilliant attitude.

It's pure views and advertisements
 
Spoiler alert:















Outrageous that Lamborghini have released a car that will refuse restart after a crash, without developing the software to right that once it’s been fixed

I'm guessing they didn't expect a car that damaged would be bought to be rebuilt. I admire his perserverance

The quality of their work seems pretty high too - with previous builds he's taken them to the main dealers for a ful inspection, and they always rate the repairs well done.

I'd like to bet that if you took it to Lambo themselves they'd repair if for you, at a cost !!! :mad:
