I take my job seriously and there's not a damn thing you can say to challenge that.

This one was a total bastard, I'm off for a lay down haha

This Supercharged MK2 Scirocco had a major failure- the supercharge...

Never thought I'd have a sticker, let alone a sticker anyone would want to buy. And NEVER would I expect to see that sticker next to the iconic Chopped Fingers. Not to gush but Marty and Moog are genuine heroes of mine and what I do on my tiny little channel pales in comparison to their endlessly superb and trailblazing work. On the day that things are finally going well enough for me to have to close my bookings for a little while, being sent this by a friend of the channel hit me in a way I wasn't expecting. Life is weird, and so very, very cool sometimes. I'm thankful. This time 2 years ago I was doing a s**t job I hated and struggling to pay my bills, 2 years on I love every minute of my stressful, hectic job and make s**tty little videos for an amazing little audience and I can't get enough of it. I know this seems like a silly, self indulgent post, but this is a sign that taking that terrifying leap was the right decision, and I'm thankful to every person who has brought their car to me, watched a video, or bought a sticker.

I'd be remiss if I didn't also thank and for being instrumental in changing automotive YouTube and then managing to stay grounded, relatable, and real while continuing to put out some of the very best work on the platform. My tiny channel will always pale in comparison to their work but they've been a continuous inspiration not only on how to make great videos, but how to be a classic act the whole time.

I'll shut up now, and this isn't a big deal to anyone but me, but it's a very nice feeling all the same 🥳

Hi everyone, I'm really pleased to confirm I will not be taking any more bookings for a little bit!

Nothing's wrong; quite the opposite!! I am flat out with projects currently and have the next 2 months of other projects booked in, it's important for me to keep my turnaround high so I will not be taking and bookings until the end of July

Please do feel free to contact me via Email if you would like to book your car in from early August, I will reply to all emails in the runup to this period to confirm bookings.

Thank you so much to everyone who has allowed this to happen- now that I've broken a rhythm I think the Skyrocket might finally be taking off!

YouTube etc will continue as normal, nothing's changing, I just need to get down to the business of turning some cars around!

All the best

Very excited to let you all know that tomorrow we begin cataloguing and listing my stock of unusual Pierburg parts removed from donor carburettors over many years, all items will come tested, cleaned, replated (where applicable) and with an automatic 1 year warranty!

These will be listed on my shopify page to make it easy for us to immediately dispatch your order.

I'm talking complete auto choke assemblies, throttle blades, Vacuum secondaries, even carburettor bodies (stripped, cleaned, and inspected!) Even full bolt kits and idle speed screws!

I'll keep you posted but it's time; I still offer my usual refurbishment service and haven't lost interest in that aspect, but it would seem (and I'm humbled to be able to say this) that my videos have done their job, and people are increasingly getting in touch knowing what parts they need in order to fix their problems after watching the videos.

That's a brilliant feeling and I want to continue to offer help and support in anyway I can for these amazing carburettors that I owe so much to :)

Cheers!

Thanks

Long shot I know but does anybody have a G60 supercharger in their stash they'd be interested in selling? Will be getting it rebuilt, just needs to be complete and working prior to removal

Thanks

Hi everyone!

Not that I need to do this often anymore (as all visits to the workshop must now be booked in advance) but just in case:

Skyrocket will be closed tomorrow for a well needed day off, now in a position where everything here is either well underway or off down the road early next week, needless to say it's been graft!

Not likely to be a video next week as work has been busy but I can't make videos if I'm not here because I didn't get enough work done to keep the business going! 🤣

I hope you all have a lovely weekend 😎

Cheers

Friday afternoon brain teaser, dissecting obsolete relays and cross referencing 2 different wiring diagrams, neither of which are for this car, because this car was never wired up this way apparently.

I don't see a problem with that if you don't!
