My dad bought his C30 T5 new back in 2008. Its now up to 340,000kms with no faults other than normal wear. I'm impressed.
Welcome to the Volvo C30 gang! I've had my 2013 one for 3 years this year and I've loved it, so hopefully you'll enjoy it for years to come!
Suggestion: make the camper into a deluxe chicken coop! Or you could, the current coop looks better! :D
Now that you have a Volvo C30 in your (co-signed) possession, you HAVE TO get a Volvo 480 in your fleet. Its the direct predecessor to the C30. Both of them descent from Volvo P1800. Its very quirky, only Volvo with pop up lamps and parts that are IMPOSSIBLE to source! It was made from 1987 to 1995, originally intended for US market, but I think only a few have made it to the states.
Oh my word I am so mad at raccoons right now!!!
Entertaining as always. Is that smashed up Saab that was blocking your garage door gone now too?
Soooo, what about that Robin roadtrip....?
"Bodyworker" could be one of several occupations 🤔
Are you going to put the solar panel on the roof of your shop temporarily to get some free energy or just store it for use on the bus?
You're getting another rooster even after the last one killed your Orpingtons? Is the goal for him to offer some defense against predators? We never bothered with a roo when we had chickens (also it would have been illegal where we were)..
I freaking love the ad spot dude, it was hilarious, especially the delivery on "I didn't come here to have my possessions mocked", 10/10 tbh
"he stole my wife" had me rolling!
Stating this for the record, I am not a fan of "seamless" style advertisements. That's not to say that I didn't find the Ad freaking hilarious, its just that I prefer the style that LinusTechTips does where its literally "and now a word from our sponsor ". I feel like the seamless ads try to "trick you" (if that makes any sense) into watching it. With the humor that you put into this segment, Its really not necessary. Jay Forman does a good job on this front if you would like another example. The best ad segments are as fun to watch as the video, and don't try to make you think they are anything other than a skit-ad. On the side of disclosure, I think you did a very good job. Not only explicitly stating "this video sponsored by" at the beginning, but also adding a description AND a comments link. The only thing I would say is that the text could be a bit better as "Check out our sponsor SimpliSafe here..." to explicitly denote the sponsor status.
I 100% understand about seamless ads trying to trick you, and I'm absolutely shooting for that right now. I'd like all of my ads to at least attempt to be comedic (similar to, but nowhere near as good as Jay Foreman), but I have no reputation for making comedic ads as of right now. Before I build up a reputation for making ads worth watching, I feel like "tricking" people into watching them is necessary. Most people will skip forward the moment they see a sponsor spot. They'll the same for my videos as well if they're not expecting them to be enjoyable. Shoot, I skipped Jay Foreman's ads before I realized what great fun they are. As for the disclosure stuff. All of that was explicitly required by SimpliSafe. Right down to the exact text I put in the description and comment box.
Your Smart car is doing very well. Perfect commuter car, as I now work almost half an hour away from home, one way. If I keep it below 70mph, I can get 45+MPG. Currently has 84,319 miles.
Went to Greece one summer and drove one all over some islands over there and me and my wife had a great time with it. This was before kids tho.
Not sure if you have the space for them but maybe you should get a small Alpaca to deal with your predator problem.
That would also be the cure for my inexplicable desire to have alpacas
I am going to cry. I’ve been waiting for this all day!!!!
