A 'thirst' for knowledge? To be honest, I'd heard the expression 'shrimp boat' before, but even I was surprised when I looked? -

And whatever you do, don't look up 'shrimp boating' on Urban Dictionary! -

Super rich! Travelling by luxury yacht is the slowest most expensive way to waste money! 'Shrimp boat?' Oh hold on, that's something else? Lol -

In reality, touring or driving for its own enjoyment is over; has been over since the mid 70s. After a week 'touring' the Lake District you'd need a holiday to recover. There are loads of camper vans near me. They just sit outside the house all year and get dragged down to Southend on Sea for a day to drink tea. Personally, the reality of owning them and using them outweighs the dream. Gone are the days of stopping wherever you like and walking to the local farm for fresh eggs and milk in the morning. You now have to chase the clock like a multi drop driver to be at the prebooked campsites on time. And it's not cheap, camping and caravaning is a middle class hobby, you don't do it to save money. There are splinter groups though. IT consultants who relive their Uni days by spending a weekend surfing, or the festival goers who spend a few days in a mud pit. My brother in law is doing a conversion at the moment, he is highly capable and his eldest son is a 'chippie' so I expect it to be to a high standard. But I said to him as soon as it's finished "flog it". -
Those youtube car channels are mostly awful. And everyone is either rebuilding copart scrap or blowing up their 'stangs! Our UK youtubers seem to be a little group of ex public school boys with trust funds.

The mrs probably has concerns about you giving up the 'day job'?

Hopefully the changes will 'steer' him to a profit?

If you were a real 'nerd' you'd be regularly 'cycling' the batteries instead of just leaving them fully charged

In Grimsby no one can hear you scream?

Would that be explained by the recent reports of 'mad cow disease'

Bloody foreigners coming over here starting businesses and helping others along by being gentlemanly and helpful above and beyond. The country's going to rack and ruin! -
They're chewing it over?

Looks like she's brought her 'expert' mate with her though?

Yes but its not just a recession for you, but your customers too. They need jobs to earn money to buy cars? -

As long as the punters keep their jobs? Punters on JSA dont buy fancy motors? Until the big boys start buying cheap and the prices go silly again! -
https://m.youtube.com/user/swallow42 This guy has been on youtube for years. Although he specialises in LR he also videos any 'swappers' warts and all?

If she would 'put out' in a 1.4 golf she'd be a keeper!

Pistonheads is one of those forums full of 'experts' that expect us to offer top money for their 'crapped out' old shitters full of concealed faults at p/x time? And we're the dodgy ones?

I don't think its accidental?
