      Yet again it was an absolute pleasure to meet John and to learn more about his beloved VW! It was such a funny and enjoyable experience (although stressful at times) taking out the Westfalia for a night camping! If you haven’t seen that video make sure to check it out! Thanks to everyone for your continued support 🤙🏼

      I'm loving these 'follow up' videos. It's great to get more of a background to the vehicles. Loving this, Will. Keep on camping.

      You’ve really hit the jackpot with these videos. Love hearing the story behind the vehicles and seeing the owners.

      Great back story and history, very interesting addition to your main video, completes the story. Lovely restoration.
      All the best, David & Rachel 👍

      always good to get a wee bonus video each week, good wee watch that was will!!! good way to put out a 2nd video a week to have a chat with the owners and get them to give you their mini tour of the van, you could tell how much that bloke loved his van and showing off all the quircks of his van there! quality

      Now tell John to put a new engine in it Wil. Saw the video of you driving it and i was stressed just watching you. I'm not keen on the square fronted VW, they don't look as nice. What a lovely Campervan. ❤

      John I think needs to start a VW youtube channel. I really enjoyed this. All the originals are fantastic to have. I love the Weds video after you had the van on the road, because it shows the easy version of how to do. Will I really lived this, got a tuck in my heart of why they are holding in to number four VW.

      I really like the direction you've gone, especially doing a separate video with the vehicles owners, brilliant mate 😁

      You have turned into my favorite channel for van life related content! This new series is absolutely brilliant, I really like the idea of having a dedicated video with just the owner. Keep it up Will 🙂

      Hi Will, sorry I’m late with the comments, I watched you this on Wednesday, but fell asleep after and forgot to comment, I liked the centimental value of it, there’s always a story behind every VW van, I do prefer the classic vans as they have character, but the reliability is not always there, as we found out, it was nice of them to let you experience the VW classic. Thank you Will. See you soon, I’m really enjoying these videos and I think you are to. Xxxxx
