“ my bloody bongos have gone rusty” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

“My bongos have gone rusty” - a poem for our time 😂

"My bongos have gone rusty" is definitely not a sentence I expected to hear when I settled down to watch this video...!

A family favorite in the early seventies was Steptoe and Son. Thank you for faithfully recreating it. Still tryng to work out which one of you is Harold and which is Albert.

I shudder to think what that shed would look like if you had never met Miss Hubnut...

Glad to see you have made a start! Rack shelf per vehicle, then one for tools, one for general stuff etc. It's good that folks sent you stuff, so take the time to store them properly and use them when needed. The rusty bongos line made me laugh

Who would have thought that watching you and Ms Hubnut going through a pile of c#%p would be so entertaining? Brilliant, with hugely funny spider screams!

This has been good therapy to watch, Ian and Carly. Simply because it's made me feel a whole lot better about the piles of rubbish I need to get rid of! You've given me motivation to get started on it this weekend.

Miss Hubnut and 'The Spiders from Cars'

I've had many things go rusty in my garage but not my bongo's 🤣🤣🤣🍄so this is how euro parts started 🤣🤟🍄✌️

OK, message received. I’ll send you another postcard pretty soon… This cleaning up show was amazing. 🤩😂🤩

I reckon a mezzanine floor is the answer to your problems. Mr and Miss Hubnut build a mezzanine floor in a spider filled unit. What could possibly go wrong??

It's great to see you two working together sorting out the keep, store, sell and bin piles. It really is so easy to end up having stuff from years (or decades in my case) that we no longer need or want. Just going through my loft from time to time I find stuff that was stored for what was new stuff under warranty that expired a while back that really needs rehoming away from my loft.

Hope you are going to film the skip filling. I find that throwing stuff out is very satisfying. Good luck with the sale.

Good luck at the auto jumble with your parts, hopefully you will not come back with too much of it.

Spiders are lovely...Miss Hubnut.

Always good to have a clear out. You'll feel so much better and have more car storage space ❤

That camper takes up a lot of storage space. Cheers!

"I am so disorganized" No sh1t

Good to see you finally tackling that corner, hopefully when cleared you might get another of your fleet in there.

You could have your own auto jumble at home😅 another great video has always Ian and Carly miss/mrs hubnut and hublets and hubmutt 👍

1:50 memories of being immobile in hospital came flooding back seeing that 😞

Nothing like a good clear out, and the added humour makes this golden. As for the smart car, if you think that vacuum pipe is degrading replace it now! as the degrading particles may migrate into the system beyond. Just my thoughts, I'm no expert.

Nothing like a good sort out.Good luck

Unravelling the universe one piece at a time.

Loved this video. Miss Hubnut staying focused on the task in hand, and HubNut being all HubNut and getting distracted

I am myself, something of a hoarder, but that was somewhat horrifying! You seem to have a lot of spare tools and I would suggest you make up a number of kits that can permanently live in the various vehicles. I've done this for years and although I've rarely of ever had to use it on one of my own vehicles, I've often dipped in to help others.

All the best for the autojumble. You have enough stuff, you could have an autojumble sale at your unit. 😊👍

Love that you are going through all that and keep finding stuff that you’ve clearly needed. Then Carly’s face says to me so that means we bought another when didn’t need too? I can see the return of the vehicle folders Ian. 😂

I'm sure when Miss Hubnut moved one of those boxes I saw Lord Lucan hiding behind it. What you need are some shelving to keep spare parts on, one shelf for each vehicle plus maybe a couple of shelves for other vehicle parts.

have a great weekend down at beaulieu and a safe trip

"...(your) bloody bongos have gone rusty"? That's okay; my djembe has gone flabby, my snare drum probably has spiders nesting in it...and I haven't dared to look at my tom-tom!

Love MizHubnuts’ reaction to spiders…

Have a great weekend Ian, I will be over to peruse your tat! I have ended up with a pallet of Unipart filters to try and flog.. at least there are plenty of large bins to fill on Sunday afternoon 😆

Rumble in the Jumble. Coming to Beaulieu.

You are moving stuff from one chaotic pile to another! I can't bear it!!

I have the same amount of junk and disorganised chaos in my single car garage; how much does Ms Hubnut charge/hour to point, coordinate and enforce discipline? :D

Definitely space for another car in that corner. I think you may be the spark for a good number of imminent (and overdue) garage clear-outs!

There's certainly a lot of recyclable material in that junk pile - the cardboard and magazines spring immediately to mind. This is something I seriously need to do myself - and be brutal with it too. I hope you find homes for the stuff going to Beaulieu: sadly these days my other interest seems to have a lot of people with short arms and long pockets shuffling by like the undead...

Still wondering if the mullet is a stayer, Ian ... And very glad to see you both - but especially you - tidying up the unit! Imagine the extra space you could create (not for an additional car, but for a genuine garage style wheely tool box). Just thinking ...

Finish the mess first, Ian! Bring that pile of stuff to the skip, then you have so much more overview and space! Only when you're finished, then you look at the Smart😊😊

It's quite therapeutic decluttering stuff you no longer need. A few weeks ago I sold my late father's quart size oil pourer which I'm sure dates to the mid 20th century for £50. I haven't carried out an oil change myself in years so it's surplus to requirements. Mentioned it in a post on the "Open" section of the sweary car forum. One thing you could do after clearing the space is have a few tubs to store spares for each member of the fleet. It might help keep things a bit organised.

Ian - you are like my Mrs - hoarder. I am the opposite - clothes etc - am the charity bags friend. Daughter is like me and is Vinted Queen - we are away this week and daughter has stayed home to look after the cat. I would not be surprised to fink a skip has been on the drive in our absence - in some ways I would welcome it

Feel your pain. I'm sitting looking at a wardrobe full of paintings in my conservatory. Its been like that for 20 years.

Not sure why I just spent nearly 20 minutes watching someone tidy a shed... I think it makes me feel better about the piles of junk in mine! 😅

I have a similar issue with my workshop, but with computer parts. I visit clients to fix their computers and they give me boxes of nerd treasure.

Always remember one person's junk is another's treasure. This maxim has been behind many an enormous collection of stuff that sit's unused all across the country. God forbid if we had to do a national audit - we would have time for nothing else lol.

See you there, hopefully. Will buy some merch (I have sufficient random junk already).

Good money to be made there…very shrewd as always👍

I don't know why I enjoyed watching this but I did :D

Good video 😀

Wouldn't surprise me if you find Lord Lucan and the meaning of life in that pile lol

Absolutely brilliant video Ian miss hubnut ❤👍random stuff but brilliant content as usual brilliant

When removing tight fitting pipes from plastic thingies try heating the pipe up with a dribble of boiling water. Makes the pipe much more pliable and much easier to remove.

Of course the biggest problem with taking a car full of stuff to an autojumble, is coming back with more than you left with! .. hope your bongos recover soon - a little WD40 and 0000 wire wool should de-rust them nicely enough but take care xD

Carly's right get it done now or it never will be.......say that to myself often!

15:13 My copy of that book has the mortal remains of Father Christmas on the cover like yours but later editions have the same picture but without him. 🤷‍♂️ I should re-read them. They're brilliant.

More Spiders than your average Alfa meet it seems.

Muscle car is differential housing end gaskets for Betty. May not fit though, their very hard to find not on ford parts list. Aussie Graham.

I'd be interested in the retro classic Japanese magazines

Hopefully see you there 😃

I can imagine myself going to Beaulieu and buying a track rod end for an Oltcit just because, and then actually going and buying an Oltcit becto justify my initial purchase

"I'm having quite a good relationship with my grease gun". Ahem. How about a shelf for the items pertaining to each car in the garage? no? too sensible? pah. Curious as to what's on the other side of the wall, and what they make of hubnut 😂

Are you charging extra for the dead spiders?

I bet TWC the Invacar in the background must be thinking I might be getting out of here soon.

You need to buy some plastic storage boxes to go up the back there. One or two for each car and marked up with the cars name.

i'd check those steering rack gaiters against Betty just in case they are the same.

Wow you are up with Mr Teyrell and Gary Mavours .great guys ,all I can do is fill and pay.

Nice progress in going through this stuff. I was surprised to see that Finnish Citroen booklet, nice one :) I have some car magazines too, but no plans to get rid of them, at least the 80's magazines. Might let some more modern ones go at some point, I should go through them, but I'll keep at least ones which have anything about cars I've had. Problem is, there was always some reason, interesting car or otherwise interesting article in them, to buy them in the first place so it's difficult to decide, what to let go :P

Err, OK, but aren't you just going to buy a load of new junk to replace the stuff you've sold. 😅

Pretty sure those are the seals for an AU solid axle

Factor 16!!! 😂 😆

More hoarding req !!! Great content 👍👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

When are we to see the video on how to de-rust the bongos.

Good luck with the autojumble, hope you make a fortune.

My Mazda Bongos gone rusty too

Treasures galore!

Suggestion: wouldn't it be a good idea to have a separate parts box for each car ? And I think you need more racking shelves. Also, I have a work light just like the one you said was rubbish. But my one is great as it lasts ages so it must depend on the brand.

If you get the mess sorted, then you'd have more space for Bob and Betty.

I did send you a denso sensor some time back it was for a Daihatsu 1.3 so should be ok for the 1l - must of been around the time you did mail bag and a table at socials

Someone might want those magazines. Have you considered signing them and putting them on the store?

Sarah n tuned for the Japanese mags!!

Your voice is sounding better Ah! but just heard the cough

Hubnut shed tidy up well done Miss Hubnut….. directed by Mr Hubnut 🎥

There's a lot of old stuff in that corner.i was waiting for you to say Dr livingstone I suppose.

I got a garage full of "could be useful". We all know that story :D

Is getting a skip a big deal in the UK? A few times I've had one here in NZ, and random people come past and ask "Where did you get that from?" as though it's a mystery, and in the dead of night people come out and throw their rubbish in. It causes so much interest I thought you could organise a street party around getting a communal skip and letting people come out in the daylight with all the old stuff they've had lying around for years. Have a cake stall and some coffee and meet the neighbours, and celebrate one of the cult objects of the modern world. It feels really good making offerings to St Detritus.

AY UP MR AND MRS HUBNUT

Honestly Miss Hubnut the dead spider will not & can not hurt you it’s actually dead ! 😊

Is this creating space for a bigger fleet?

Ooooh treasure pile !😂

You need to put up some sturdy racks at the walls and at least sort the useful stuff by car

Spiders are fine, it's wasps you want to worry about 😂

During COVID we got rid of a lot of unwanted things a lot of tools, I don’t not now use any more because are cars now go to area friendly mechanic for repairs and servicing works out cheaper than different tools different cars also I don’t curse when things start going wrong but the biggest item that went was my wife shed which was badly decayed my shed is over 40y old but because it was treated with telephone poles creosote it has lasted I had numerous trips to the local tip with all the wood from my wife’s with the seats down in my x polo it’s amazing how much to get a small car are back garden looks a lot bigger now

The issue I have with Auto Jumbles, Jumble Sales and other similar events. Is I attend and try too sell, but normally I leave, with more than I arrive with. Simple suggestion, next years rustival add a Sale area

It's not the spider's you need to worry about, its the great big farm Rats that have nested in that huge pile 🐀 😅

Strange that the Smart doesn't throw codes

Plenty of stuff found. Miss Hubnut scared of spiders.

I both admire and sympathise. I could do with a similar clearout. In my case electronics and computers rather than cars, but remarkably similar in both volume and usefulness. The orange nitrile gloves are excellent, aren’t they? I got mine from Grease Junkie (no connection). Is that where your’s are from?

With this experience, I could use some help cleaning out my garage. Not as much as yours for reassurance.
