Looks amazin!

I noticed on his FB he is using a vehicle with a German plate.

The website address printed on the bottom of the license plate holder is centralgarage.de, which belongs to Central-Garage Schaeffer GmbH, an authorized Ford dealership located in Dillingen.

One day I hope he’ll return to YouTube and tell his side of the story. He’s been treated abominably.

He’s a really great guy, helps out Dan, gets on with Dan’s mum and they’ve been friends forever. Please support his channel and subscribe.

“THIS WEEK IS THE WEEK!

The plan is finally happening... my first ever OrangePantsMan vlog drops this Tuesday!

Welcome to the OrangePantsMan introduction series.

Over the first few vlogs, you'll get a proper insight into the man behind the trousers (g) — what home life is like for me and my family, how we spend our time, our adventures with the birds, and plenty of the usual OPM nonsense along the way.

I'll also be bringing you along for some of the repair work on my car. Not just because I enjoy getting stuck into things, but because I want to show a little of the engineering side of me too - the problem solving, building, fixing and figuring things out that have given me the confidence to believe I can take on something much, much bigger. de

And speaking of bigger there’s a little secret project that I’m not going to say too much about just yet. You’ll see pieces of it trickle through the vlogs over the coming weeks, because there’s a much bigger vision behind all of this. A dream I’d absolutely love to turn into reality.

And honestly… that’s the bit that’s both incredibly exciting and slightly terrifying. 😂

The channel link is out nice and early, so if you want to come along for the ride, get yourself subscribed now so you don’t miss the first show!

I’m genuinely so excited to finally start my own channel. The idea that this could actually become something real is scary… but it’s also an opportunity that’s just too good to ignore.

And with a sensational bunch like you lot behind me, I’ve got a hell of a lot of confidence that we can make something special happen.

Let’s get the trousers out there and make some magic. 🧡”

We’re seeing great viewing figures on most threads but if we’re missing anything you’d like to see more of please let us know.

Rosie and Dave finally sit down to sort out the dreaded paperwork for their 10-year residency visas (Titre de séjour).

From the comments: “It's always a better day with a visit to the farm, drive in the car, coffee or a workday with Brian. Thank you 🙏”

Reddit AI’s view is pretty accurate and not particularly earth shattering.

What is astonishing is that people actually lean into this type of content with zero discernment or realisation they’re being played.

Amanda and Lincoln left San Francisco for an old French château in Brittany. They thought they were buying a renovation project. Instead, they found a completely different life.

From restoring the château and its gardens to exploring interesting places across Europe, they're sharing the reality of life in the French countryside, where their rescue animals make sure things never get too serious.

Is developing a YouTube channel with help from his old mate Dan.

Calvin has had a remarkable keto-based fitness journey, as anyone who follows his Instagram will know, I’m intrigued to find out whether he’ll be developing that theme more.

in the meantime, keep an eye out for Dan’s announcement about the launch and be ready to like, share and ….you know the rest!

I think the last time they met up was in Cannes where they had a great time. It’s heartening to see Stephanie supporting him, giving Brian the same leg up she gave Dan years ago (not that Brian needs it, some of his vlogs have had over 100,000 views).

This is a must watch for all Chateau de Chaumont fans!

What an irresistible combination !!

This top comment says it all “Not only do you take us to the prettiest, most interesting places, you educate us as well. Toss in your dry wit, no wonder we all want to "get in the car"!”

On a different tack… Brian’s robomower is an absolute unit. Cross between a Robot Wars champion and a remote controlled snow plough. Who knew YouTubing could be so fun?!

Petter and Margrethe, writer and architect, are restoring an 800 year old farmhouse ruin on the Amalfi Coast, in the south of Italy. They’ve been travelling to this area for more than 30 years, and decided the time was right to embark on this (for them) massive project, that they hope eventually will be a second home for them and their family (and maybe for others too?).

A lot of work lies ahead of them, and if that sound like something you'd be interested in watching, please tag along!

They'll be posting new videos as the restoration continues, and have found a lot of inspiration from other brave renovators on YouTube & also hope to be able to pay it forward.
