The Chronicles Of Ratchet

Cars, DIY, vlogs and random stuff.
Fix it yourself and hopefully save money in the process.
Slowly reviving my 1992 Rover 216 GTi twin-cam in my spare time. A car you just don't see much anymore.
My daily drive is a 2005 Nissan Xtrail 2.2 DCi Sport and any videos that I make about it go in the 'The X-Trail Files' playlist.

Not an influencer, not sponsored, so feel free to make your own minds up. I tell it how it is - good or bad.
