I reckon it is time to slim the fleet down. I have been a viewer for many years and the P6's have hardly got a look in. The W123 and old mini need a HUGE amount of work and are not getting done.I would be good to see the fleet reduced so the bigger projects can be advanced. Great channel though, keep up the good work and thanks for the entertainment over the years.

Long time viewer, you do a lot to inspire and teach about working on cars. Really grateful for the hard work you put into maintaining the cars and making the videos. I'm in my twenties and have a soft spot for the 90s cars especially. I understand the limitations you face with storage, and whilst your current barn is great, if it was ever possible to acquire a bigger space holding the majority of your cars I think it would be great for us viewers. The barn looks cramped and you can feel that when watching from home! Seeing most of the fleet lined up in a large unit would look epic, and would make it easier to keep track of all the stuff you had going on as well! I'll watch the videos all the same, just a thought 👍

I did think maybe a 'quick', video of the cars that moved on over the last year might be interesting but with a million jobs that need doing on other cars along with reviews and shows it's all busier than a busy thing on overdrive (remember that), while being overloaded. Many thanks for sharing.

I almost forgot about the Crown Vic and Tomcat - i know, hiw could i? - but remembered them in the nick of time to get 17 (including the Clubman). I love that you are Rover heavy - the tourer, the Tomcat, the Vi make up three of my Top 5 along with the Y plate Mini and Punto - and i can see exactly why you dont want anything to go. They are great. I agree that 90s was peak car and ive been saying this for ages.

I've been subscribed for quite a while now, but completely forgot you had the white Rover, what a beauty and definitely deserves more air time on the channel, along with the black V8. Seeing it on the trailer made me think how we rarely see your cars from the front being driven on the road. We see some great camera angles when you're doing a review of some classic for sale with the stuck on go pros, but I think it would be a great idea to have say your Dad or Mrs. Furious to drive in front with a camera stuck on the back so we can see your beauties going along the road or when turning etc. The Fiat is too nice and vulnerable to be sat outside. The Rover estate looked a little ropey underneath so I'd be tempted to move that one on. I like the rest of the fleet, so I can understand your dilemma, but that's a lot of £££'s in tax, insurance, batteries and storage and not many hours in the day to enjoy them! The Forth Bridge comes to mind. 😎

I have to agree with those saying it's time to slim it down - not necessarily in terms of the amount of cars but the amount of work needed. The Morris Mini isn't even a car, it's a shell. Yes it can be a fantastic project for someone but realistically I just don't think you'll ever get round to it. The W123 is similar. The Crown Victoria is just about within the realm of 'work you can realistically do' I think. If you didn't have a day job/family etc and were in a position to full-time KZitem and go hell for leather on these restoration projects that might be different but personally I'd move the Morris Mini and W123 on. The Rover 200 VI or the Red Mini could probably go as well (personally I'd keep the Mini). The 75 is already for sale (if it were the 2.5 V6 I'd have already bought it). The blue Alfa Romeo and maybe even the Volvo could also go and finance some really good restoration on the old Rover's and bring back the far flip program to keep things fresh.

I share your sentiments about Modern "SUV's" as they are now mostly just lifted hatchbacks with front wheel drive and all look like they have been designed by the same boring firm, with the Ferrari SUV looking like a Mazda, with the teardrop shape that robs interior space because to make them more aerodynamic and therefore economical with the tacky grey plastic around the wheels and ultimately, no more off road ability than a standard hatchback. Manufacturers should have never been allowed to redefine a vehicle with predominantly off-road ability to a road focused lifted FWD hatchback. Give me an estate any day!

We all have our favourites but the elephant in the room is - any serious car owner would be slimming the fleet down. You can't look after that many cars sustainably to a roadworthy degree in the long-run. Especially as there are cars like the Mini, the W123 and Crown Vic which are absorbing so much of your time that the others go months without any "look-in". Just a straight opinion.
