VENNER ADVENTURES - making easy things difficult since 1971 πŸ˜†

We share real-life automotive fixes, and failures. Our 'How To' guides also show the 'How Not To' parts other channels often edit out. You can learn from our mistakes - but also our successes.

Watch us work on, and with, our Range Rover L322 (Rangey), BMW E46 318ci (Bert), Ford Focus ST170 (Max), as well as antics with channel favourites the Ford New Holland tractor, the JCB digger, and lastly our Polaris Quad bike (Larry).

Cars and quads.
Tractors and dogs.
Rural life.
Husband and wife.

We're Shaun & Em, and we live in a converted mill on Dartmoor, Devon on Shaun's Dad's farm (he lives next door). There's always something needing repairing, replacing, or creating here - we are never bored! Give us a sub, like, or comment, and we'll see you soon!

Sometimes we know what we're doing.
Sometimes we don't.
Either way, it's an adventure.

Storm Bram is howling around the house, the lights are flickering, we keep losing wifi, but the Jackery is charged up and ready if the power goes completely. While we wait for a very likely power cut, I'm cracking on with editing the next Ford Focus ST170 video, because it's been two weeks since I last uploaded anything. We filmed so much footage it's taking me a while to sift out the best bits for everyone to watch. Anyhoo, enough wittering, more editing! πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸ’» Emma.

How random is it that Β @TopDeadCΒ  upload a video featuring a 2008 reg Ford Fiesta STYLE, on the SAME DAY that we uploaded ours! So funny watching it.

Finally, our nephew’s Ford Fiesta video is ready for your viewing pleasure. However, you’ll need wait until next weekend for Part 5 of the Ford Focus ST170. Watch out for community posts to see when it’s live, just in case your subscription notification doesn’t reach you. I mean, you are subscribed, aren’t you? πŸ€“

Does our internet have the SLOWEST upload speed EVER?! Welcome to deepest, darkest, Devon πŸ§πŸ˜–πŸ˜£
Frustratingly, I began to upload this weeks video at 1100 on Sunday morning. It's now 0200 on MONDAY morning, and we still have a fair way to go.
Hope you all enjoy this one.
Once it's available πŸ™„
