Love the neighbour! Proper Lincolnshire boy! 🤣
new workshop
imagine having the energy
That workshop is great.
Fair play to him
What I liked about the new workshop is it seems so attainable to the every day person... Just your basic tools.
😂
Yeah some fairly serious kit in there lol. Wonder how long it took them to set it up?
The joys of having 12 million subscribers. That is a well set up workshop.
going to be a bugger to keep warm even with filling in the holes and the insulation behind the boards.... dirty great opening to the mirror barn! He must be having that covered/bricked up surely ?/
Love it. Almost makes me want to tidy up the garage.
<Awaits 'retrospective change of use planning appeal' video...> 🙂
I could do with some of that foam.

And there's his 'problem'. His charm is as 'the lunatic with a shed' persona. Not so with more kit than Perkins Engines...

Yeah, I mean he's still incredible, but most people loved the raw lunatic early persona present in his 'earlier stuff' .
Klunk has it, those agricultural buildings are miserably hot in Summer and dismally cold in Winter. It's all for show and the advertisers, he'd be a masochist to spend any time there and has an embarassing carbon footprint.
Boblo has it too, he's no longer the inspiring eccentric with tolerant neighbours, he's a sold-out influencer with dubious morals.
I can imagine being a success on Youtube with a little trench, eventually, unavoidably becoming a huge tunnel under your house. Where else could he go?

Dubious morals? Do you know something we don't?

the whole things a con! he's building a secret world dominating bond villain bunker underneath it!
Just watched that. Yes definitely qualifies as lunacy 😂
Is it actually a job, what do the risk assessments say for that sort of activity (without getting too pedantic, spraying the barn stealth black without masks and moulding concrete with bare hands probably doesn't meet a method statement either....)
Unsure it is a job but it is great way to earn a living (and going by numbers of views, I don't think it is just making a living)...if he got all health and safety and sensible then he'd lose his lunacy mad creator in the shed look...although I think that has long gone now he has his new place.
the tie launcher is gemius LOL
there was a tips video but that was far too sensible for this thread 😀 so back to the lunacy!
Was just thinking about this either last night or this morning, just the bunker would be brilliant.
That garage is going to be frickin awesome.
I'd love to know what his neighbours think and if they know what he's actually up to!
not quite so secret tunnel 🙂
How does he actually get allowed to do all this in a suburb?
I'm amazed he's able to. 😳
His neighbours must be VERY understanding, or maybe they've all been bought? 😂
Write to him and ask, I'm sure Colin Furze, Stamford should find him 😉
One of his earlier tunnel videos had one of his neighbours in It and didn't seem to be the least bit bothered. Pretty sure he had to get planning permission so should be easy to see if there was any objections.
Seems to be a case of build it then seek forgiveness, actually do you need planning if nothing is visible?
Interested to know what interactions he's having with Planning and Building Control over his latest massive driveway sinkhole! I know the vibe of the channel is all about spontaneity and not wandering around in hi-viz and a helmet, but he must have had to get some pretty thorough calcs before embarking on this.
But then again, the latest vid has him musing about whether the structure will cope with the weight of a concrete slab on top...
It's a great project and I do like his attitude of just getting on with it, but I would definitely be a little wary if I was his neighbour
I'm surprised he hasn't decided to move somewhere with a bit more land, but I suppose once you've built an underground bunker then you're probably committed to staying put.
He hasn't actually lived there for ages, it's more a sort of office and film set for him now. He lives there when doing multiple days in a row but the family house is elsewhere. I chatted to him a year or so ago at the Late Brake Show Live in Manchester as part of a small group and he explained that he does indeed get his ideas for the tunnel checked over before doing anything and that the local Building Regs people are fully aware of what he's doing. The neighbours are also surprisingly cool with it too! He definitely wouldn't have got so far as he has if anything was amiss.
Oh and his DeLorean is absolutely stunning in the flesh, he drove it to the show through a rain shower and looked brilliant with the fresh rain beaded up all over the Stainless Steel body.
Ah, that makes sense. I suppose i makes for a more compelling narrative to do all this stuff to a suburban semi than some ex-farm or similar.
I do love a DeLorean, if it wasn't for that (great) film-series , it'd definitely be a car I'd own.
Furze gets paranoid !! 🙂
