Happy Birthday Eddie. Another good video and such nice cars at Richter down in Bletchley. When you said the Buzz was too small for work, I think you hit the nail on the head, it's just too small. Good luck making this work, but think the content this will provide will be the best part,. If you are honest with yourselves, I think you'll ultimately not be overly happy spending all that money and using it as a compact camper, and that's without the EV infrastructure nightmare element!!
I don't know about your side of the pond but, over here them damn Krispy Kreme are too sweet. ๐
That ID buzz looked so awesome definitely go for that pop top guys ๐๐
250K !!!!!!!
How many does it sleep for that ๐
Another great video has always Steve Lindsay Eddie Harry and George ๐
Another great video. Happy belated birthday Eddie ๐๐
UR Quattro? My god i love the old group B cars but to find an unregistered one ๐๐๐
Audi Quattro every time.

Great video, how much was your charge for how many miles?
I know how you can reduce your carbon footprintโฆget rid of that massive, diesel guzzling motorhome! ๐๐คฃ
How long did the charge take please? Just thinking about the last few times I fueled up I just wouldn't have had the time to hang around waiting, sandwiches and coffee or not. ๐ฎ
Can you post the cutout of the roof weight v the pop top total weight. it looks very small and hard to use. the t5 looks such a better useable option
Really enjoyed you guys from the beginning of your journeys, personal view it's now a channel from a hobby / vanlife to promoting other businesses / vpn offers ..
Pop tops make your camper freezing. Its basically a tent. Absolutely ridiculous idea
Electric will never take over, Toyota is already looking at Hydrogen cars. Electric has the issues of not being as green as you think, children mining lithium, what to do with the dead vehicles and the risk of fire. How many high rise parking blocks wonโt let Teslas now due to fire risk.
Happy birthday Eddie, food looked gorgeous ๐ Loved the Audi's, very very nice. That pop top was just brilliant, defo go for that ๐
I lost count how many plugs there were for companies, gadgets and merchandise. Distracted from the whole notion of motorhomes and campers. ๐
Omg you can use you phone in a filling station haha ๐คฃ
Krispy Kreme's are way to sweet
Hi guys amazing love it brilliant and beautiful elegant thanks ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐
Never mind how good the cars look Lindsey in them jeans look s hot ๐ฅ ๐
Sorry the pop up room is so ugly
"So, we bought the van for work but its too small, so we're converting it to a camper", now that's a stroke of luck isn't it, nicely planned Steve…..lol
Looking forward to seeing you and Lindsey First weekend away in your Buzz Campervan. ๐
Favourite car has to be the Buzz ๐
Claustrophobia on seeing this..steve u will not fit into it
Iโm with you lyns. Itโs just a red one or a white one lol. X
You've got to love cars. They are the very essence of your freedom to roam and do it in a style that suits one's self.
Sponsored by Krispie Kreme as well now I guess!
Would have been nice to know how much u paid for recharge and how long it took guys ?
Love the video, though sceptical about the 100% solar claim for the 36 charging points. That is a hell of a lot of power needed. Also there must be diesel or gas powered back up for the non sunny days?
Can that very tall pop top stay up in strong wind. ?
Iโd have an EV tomorrow if they didnโt start at ยฃ45kโฆa ridiculous price for an average family car! Thatโs my annual salary!!
Congratulations both, on your new van. This project has inspired me, (Rhian) to make some changes.
All your ideas and research that you have shared, has really helped.
It is well out of our price range, however, its ground breaking stuff that your sharing, to give myself and others viewers, ideas for what can actually be achieved with this small van.
Keep sharing and looking forward to the next videos of the build, in the ID Buzz.
Rhian & Dai xxx
Top video Chris,those lights look awesome!Ordered the Ultimate Scottish Road trip for Xmas and it arrived yesterday,can't wait to read it and start planning ๐
Im not a fan of the ID Buz definitely don't like the shape & tge price is ridiculous when my VW T4 can do exactly what your Buzz will do once converted my oldest of 5 kids turned 35 this year yoh must of had kids quite late
Carbon neutral. Do je a favour. Half that van is made of plastic .the glasses you wear,the phone and camera you use and most of the parts for the so called charging station are all made of plastic inc the advertising signs that abound the station. Time to wake up
