Transcripts

play00:00

through hard times which we're currently

play00:01

going through in the car trade at it's

play00:02

not great is it it's not it's a tough

play00:04

time it is a tough time at the minute

play00:06

but the honest reason why the real

play00:07

reason why I a't bought myself a car

play00:09

you're not going to believe this you're

play00:10

actually not going to believe this so in

play00:11

that color in white there's only six

play00:13

like full stop only six oh my God so

play00:16

yeah that's that's a really rare

play00:21

car but this is proper random so inside

play00:24

this buding is the most the craziest

play00:28

Discovery I've ever seen in my life

play00:30

check this out so come through the door

play00:31

you're probably thinking why is Calvin

play00:33

filming inside a budging of all places

play00:35

come here through the back door go

play00:38

through the back door staff only yeah

play00:40

it's

play00:41

me come through come

play00:44

come just shut that door let that door

play00:46

shut through here you're not going to

play00:48

believe this you're actually not going

play00:49

to believe this it's a bloody car

play00:51

dealership out the back isn't there so

play00:53

today we're at eag specialist car they

play00:55

shut the old buding door and um I don't

play00:58

know I was here we're actually getting a

play00:59

bit of work done in one of our cars

play01:00

we'll talk about that shortly and I

play01:02

thought I want to speak to Richard the

play01:03

owner cuz the story behind this place is

play01:05

fascinating like they're behind the

play01:06

Budin why are they behind the budgin

play01:08

also I going to have a look at some of

play01:09

their cars because I'm always like you

play01:12

look I'm fascinated about all types of

play01:13

cars specifically BMWs and they are like

play01:16

an M car specialist so we're going to

play01:17

have a look at a few of their cars

play01:18

apparently they've got a GTS inside and

play01:21

the new M4 CSL so let's go meet Richard

play01:24

check out some cars and just let it all

play01:26

all unfold so where should we start I

play01:28

think we should start with the 43 5D

play01:30

that we're going to be giving away on

play01:31

planet dreams I think like the first

play01:32

Friday of February the reason why we're

play01:34

here today is because um we've we had

play01:36

that car wrapped so I bought it as a a

play01:38

high mileage car from a subscriber got

play01:40

it wrapped in Lime Rock gray which is

play01:42

like an M4 CS color we've actually

play01:44

bought some M3 Wheels there they're on

play01:46

the floor over there so I need to get

play01:47

some tires for it by the time this video

play01:49

goes live the wheels will be on and

play01:50

it'll be looking like this hopefully the

play01:53

reason why it's here today is cuz we've

play01:54

had an in Performance Kit fitted so it's

play01:56

just looking a little bit better all

play01:58

right so we wanted to get that looking

play01:59

good uh for the giveaway I'm actually

play02:01

running around in that minute it's a

play02:02

proper niiz car but I was just wandering

play02:04

around and I know I talk about buying a

play02:07

new car all the time and it's something

play02:09

that I do need to sort out and it's just

play02:10

a simple reason that I haven't bought

play02:12

myself a new car yet is because I'm

play02:14

waiting I just want to get a few things

play02:15

sorted you know waiting for the right

play02:17

time I suppose on kind of waiting for

play02:18

the right car to just be put in front of

play02:20

me for the right amount of money as well

play02:22

and guy just cutting bushes over there

play02:24

but the honest reason why the real

play02:25

reason why I a't bought myself a car

play02:27

what's the real

play02:28

reason because as a car dealer I say

play02:31

this so much in videos you're constantly

play02:34

reinvesting that's what the idea you

play02:36

don't have to do that but for as long as

play02:38

you are doing that your business grows

play02:39

for as long as you don't do that you

play02:40

start giving it large buying cars and

play02:42

santing around going holiday and buying

play02:44

yourself designer clothing or whatever

play02:46

then the business goes backwards and you

play02:48

might look good but you don't feel good

play02:50

so for me Priority is always reinvesting

play02:53

and at some

play02:54

point I will definitely get a car I need

play02:56

to I need to get my own car but for now

play02:58

I just drive planet of Dreams Car and

play03:00

bits of stock and whatever else but this

play03:01

thing here an island man green M3

play03:04

touring with all the carbon it's got the

play03:06

carbon front splitter it's got carbon

play03:07

Sid cut it's carbon rear diffuser it's

play03:09

got the carbon fiber seats um obviously

play03:11

I went out in Ricky's one recently and

play03:13

it's just such a cool car I think they

play03:15

look good just as that by the way don't

play03:17

get me wrong Ricky's one looks

play03:18

absolutely stunning but if I just had

play03:19

that car in that spec in that color the

play03:22

way it sits there that would suit me

play03:25

down to the ground we've got m4s here

play03:27

they just just m cars this is pretty

play03:29

cool uh for £30,000 less than the Toran

play03:31

so the Torin just over 100 Grand this is

play03:34

£68,000 this car here is just a white

play03:38

white car red lever M3 Saloon very very

play03:40

nice proper bit of me as well um it's

play03:43

got some carbon fiber touches on it as

play03:44

well but what's interesting about this

play03:46

car is they've actually wrapped it in

play03:47

like a satin ppf and I think that's

play03:50

quite a nice touch man they actually do

play03:52

that here and when he told me I was just

play03:53

speaking to Richard who we're going to

play03:54

meet shortly and he's telling me about

play03:56

it I thought this place is quite

play03:57

fascinating they do like car prep they

play03:59

do everything in house it's behind the

play04:00

budgin which I was like how is it even

play04:02

behind the budging what a random s

play04:03

because a year ago I was on a hunt for

play04:05

my own car site yeah as you remember it

play04:08

play04:09

play04:47

play07:30

business even to

play07:32

today we great concept with business is

play07:35

it you just keep reinvesting it grows

play07:37

and you probably would have started off

play07:38

with with one car like most of us and

play07:40

play07:42

Renault Cleo with a snap Canam belt

play07:44

really yeah we we I just rebuilt the

play07:45

head got it all up and muning and then

play07:47

for think like five six years never took

play07:50

any profit out you know sold a car

play07:52

whatever profit put it back into another

play07:53

car and then build it up to 20 30 cars

play07:56

or whatever keep going just keep going

play07:58

and where you are now like some of the

play07:59

cars you got you got some of you got

play08:01

these two we'll talk about them shortly

play08:02

but before we get to them there's a

play08:03

picture on your wall in your office yeah

play08:05

yeah of the site because you actually

play08:07

grew up on this site I know we said that

play08:08

it was previously a haage site but this

play08:10

was your home wasn't it yeah yeah so I

play08:12

was uh I was driving artics around here

play08:14

when I was 12 13 years old that's that's

play08:16

that's what we did yeah this is like the

play08:18

perfect story and even for your parents

play08:20

to know that they' brought you up on

play08:21

this site and you know you got you got a

play08:23

team of Staff here like what a story man

play08:25

this is it's like the the dream story

play08:27

for a lot of people and it's just you

play08:28

just got work hard and not give up in it

play08:30

I think that's the simple as that it

play08:32

especially through hard times which

play08:33

we're currently going through in the car

play08:34

tra it's not great is it it's not great

play08:37

it's a tough time it is a tough time at

play08:38

the minute but I suppose at the time of

play08:40

filming this we're at the end of the

play08:42

year and then by the time this goes live

play08:43

probably be January time it's always a

play08:45

funny time yeah this time's always quite

play08:46

and it but hopefully I think January

play08:48

it'll kick on I think as soon as we

play08:50

start to see some interest rates drop

play08:52

hopefully then that will just give

play08:54

people like confidence when it and we'll

play08:56

it's definitely going to create a

play08:58

positive sting on the whole Market not

play09:00

just cars like property as well

play09:01

hopefully you know General spending

play09:03

borrowing it's yeah the trade we're in

play09:06

like it's other than buying a house it's

play09:08

probably the next sort of most important

play09:09

or biggest thing anyone Buys in it so I

play09:11

think it'll be fine it's just it's just

play09:13

tough at the moment we're getting byy

but that Budin is actually owned by you

play09:58

guys yeah yeah that's right but

play10:00

initially it wasn't a Budin of course no

play10:02

it's just a little tiny village shop um

play10:04

and yeah we kind of got the opportunity

play10:06

to um beat everyone else to put in a

play10:09

decent shop in the village and the

play10:11

village is getting bigger and bigger so

play10:12

it seemed like a no-brainer so what a

play10:14

great thing to do cuz I always talk

play10:16

about doing within what's available to

play10:18

you within your own sort of Realm and

play10:20

you've done that so you got this site

play10:22

yeah and here is so this is your family

play10:24

home yeah this is where that's where I

play10:25

grew up for yeah yeah and then obviously

play10:27

the shop is now there we used to sell

play10:29

Petra off the front there and then a

play10:31

tiny shop there yeah and then this is

play10:33

the unit that we're stood in now we're

play10:35

in the showroom here but that used to be

play10:36

obviously Lor's parked in there and like

play10:38

grain and stuff and yeah it's very

play10:40

different what a picture and then did

play10:42

you say this is your grandparents house

play10:43

that's it grandparents house

play10:44

grandparents live there yeah so they my

play10:46

grandparents have gone now my sister has

play10:48

that now sister lives in there um and

play10:51

then yeah we've got a new unit up here

play10:52

now that's up there now but obviously

play10:55

yeah everything's changed since then

play10:57

what an amazing car site is it like

play10:59

obviously for you you hadn't had haven't

play11:02

had the pressure I suppose to finding a

play11:03

site I went through this a year or so

play11:04

ago I was looking for a site to store

play11:06

all these cars CU that's where I am

play11:09

lucky and I do have that Head Start um

play11:11

that's taken I guess nearly 20 years to

play11:14

get from just an old brick building to

play11:16

what it is where you are now yeah well

play11:18

and you clearly you know you don't take

play11:19

it for granted you appreciate it you're

play11:20

loving it you know you're doing you here

play11:22

you clearly take massive pride in what

play11:24

you do didn't you yeah yeah I want

play11:26

everything right you know yeah can see

play11:28

that everything's is right I'm kind of

play11:30

one of the people that just never knows

play11:31

when to stop I think yeah I think we

play11:33

that's how you got to be though

play11:34

sometimes kind of Our Own Worst Enemy

play11:36

the minute we stand still it's gone on

play11:38

it you know so you have to keep yeah you

play11:40

got to keep keep going keep going so

play11:42

let's go for Wonder out the front you

play11:43

got a McLaren and a Porsche here now I

play11:45

know that marcaron that's is that your

play11:47

own car so that's that's my own car um

play11:49

for now everything's for sale it'll go I

play11:52

think um it would have probably been

play11:53

gone by now but I've kind of missed the

play11:55

boat car especially super cars have

play11:57

massively dropped so so um yeah until he

play12:00

comes back up I guess it'll he'll be

play12:01

staying yeah down well well I suppose

play12:04

even in the summer you get good use out

play12:05

of it yourself I love it I mean yeah

play12:07

just puts a massive smile on your face

play12:09

don't notice and yeah to be fair pound

play12:11

for pound there ain't really nothing

play12:12

there's nothing out there that competes

play12:14

with it is there there there's loads of

play12:15

cars Better Built probably better cars

play12:18

but for just out andout performance it's

play12:20

just crazy they are they're just such a

play12:23

yeah so fast great for his car what

play12:25

about the Porsche yeah that's that's a

play12:26

sales car so you got that sale yeah as a

play12:29

as a partx oh really turbo X so yeah we

play12:32

we had to do a fair bit of work to it

play12:33

but lovely car yeah nice back quite rare

play12:36

seats and things um yeah this will this

play12:38

will this will go but this is another

play12:40

car that's massively dropped in the last

play12:42

sort of two three months pores not super

play12:45

cars everything has is it even M cars

play12:47

and I think this is what we was going to

play12:48

touch on as well because obviously

play12:50

everyone people are coming to us now to

play12:52

sell cars and they bought them six

play12:53

months ago and the prices have dropped

play12:56

and they're like what is that how much

play12:57

you offering me why are you offering me

play12:58

so low yeah but we're in a position

play12:59

where we've got a whole sight full of

play13:00

cars yeah every day it's happening is it

play13:03

especially the last three months we've

play13:04

really felt it on the M stuff really

play13:06

really Dro down but I I I think it's a

play13:08

good thing cuz it's dropped where it

play13:10

probably should have been and now from

play13:12

you we can then buy hopefully next year

play13:14

we can start buy and have confidence

play13:15

that it's going to hold that money yeah

play13:17

yeah exactly for the buyer as well and

play13:19

yeah for everyone for both sides I think

play13:20

it needed that little adjustment didn't

play13:22

it it did yeah and it's been it's been

play13:23

coming we all knew it was coming but it

play13:25

just seemed to happen really fast yeah

play13:27

so it work it come out isn't it it's

play13:29

literally happened over the last few

play13:30

weeks and it's just gone boom boom boom

play13:32

I think maybe when new car reges come

play13:34

out it started at that point didn't it

play13:36

and from there on was it was yeah and I

play13:38

think then obviously the um with what we

play13:40

do there's been a new model on

play13:41

everything as well so that's obviously

play13:43

killed it as well that's dropped um but

play13:45

I think at the end of all this it'll be

play13:48

it'll be the right thing it's a good

play13:49

thing even though it seems like it's

play13:50

painful at the moment no I agree as we

play13:52

go into 2024 we want you know the

play13:55

adjustment happen now yeah we want

play13:56

stability we want to know where we're

play13:57

going with the future and I feel like

play13:58

yeah the cars are almost scared to buy

play14:00

anything at the moment that's that's how

play14:02

it feels a little bit kind of how we've

play14:03

been as well but got you got to buy safe

play14:06

a you yeah be careful you're to earn

play14:07

money yeah I think we all like every

play14:09

everybody has their cars that they know

play14:11

they're safe at but I know you know I

play14:13

can name five six cars I know if I buy

play14:15

I'm safer you know and it's just where I

play14:17

take a little risk with things like this

play14:19

I probably wouldn't be doing at the

play14:20

moment you wouldn't be doing that now no

play14:22

I don't that on the market so just buy

play14:24

safe yeah that's it so cool so outside

play14:27

you've got is it sort of prominantly

play14:29

you've got M3s M3s and m4s yeah CU

play14:32

you've got an x5m is that over there

play14:34

yeah so we do we do we do x5m x3m 4M and

play14:38

then it's just the m2s 3es fours and

play14:40

fives so everything that's a proper M

play14:42

car okay you know we do a few like m40s

play14:45

and things but in general as long as

play14:46

they're a proper M car MH that's that's

play14:48

that's where we do that's what we do and

play14:50

this is all started because you just

play14:51

love M cards yeah yeah just just love

play14:53

love the brand I've always I've always

play14:56

had M cars um I think I always always

play14:58

loved being a rogue I always loved the

play15:00

rear wheel drive the donutting and the

play15:02

bean so with a lot of like the other

play15:05

stuff the four-wheel drive stuff I could

play15:07

you couldn't muck up out like that with

play15:08

the with the rear wheel drive that's

play15:09

what attracted me to M cards like E36

play15:12

was the first one I had oh really I had

play15:14

an E36 they went through the whole whole

play15:16

lot the whole range I'm obviously you

play15:18

know I'm a proper BMW fan I love BMWs

play15:21

like being here today that's why I

play15:22

thought go get my camera out because

play15:24

we're both in the same game it's quite

play15:25

nice to just have a trat with another

play15:27

Trader and especially the one that sells

play15:29

M car so and even the whole range you've

play15:32

got a real you don't just go for the G

play15:35

the G Series you got a few FS as well um

play15:38

do you sell anything earlier than that

play15:40

like E90 M3s you go no not not anymore

play15:43

no we used to do um kind of some older

play15:45

stuff and you kind of get burnt you know

play15:47

you have to be careful so we just try

play15:49

and limitate the the the issues going

play15:52

wrong and just stick to kind of like

play15:53

really sort of 2018 upwards okay and

play15:56

obviously it affects the pcps and stuff

play15:58

as well don't yeah of course it does you

play15:59

get older than that it's hard to them

play16:00

Finance Finance them yeah so you sort of

play16:02

keep them up to 5 years old preferably

play16:04

yeah really yeah yeah that's that's the

play16:05

aim what car do you drive daily yourself

play16:08

a pickup truck do you really no way a

play16:12

hux pickup truck and it's horrible yeah

play16:15

but you know what I just chuck all my

play16:17

in and just it's easy it's just

play16:19

easy that's right don't it yeah so I'm

play16:21

sure you get to enjoy some of these at

play16:23

some point as well yeah yeah my wife's

play16:25

got we got a G80 um that we've we've

play16:27

mocked out with and you know we use it

play16:29

as a bit of a demo kind of car yeah but

play16:31

um but I don't I don't touch that really

play16:33

so n you got your truck your truck truck

play16:36

you know what I really like I like that

play16:38

that fm3 there like as they've got older

play16:40

they're kind of the earlier non-c

play16:43

compact cars they just sort of they've

play16:44

aged really well they even like the

play16:46

silver I know it sounds weird but chrome

play16:47

grill so we we back in the day we would

play16:49

have never left it like that no but now

play16:52

actually actually seen one with the

play16:53

Chrome on a nonc compet age is really

play16:56

rare a 19 plate is been sat around

play16:59

before it was registered cuz they didn't

play17:00

do a 19 that's a March 18 car okay just

play17:03

been sat around but it was just in so

play17:05

like original condition we were just

play17:07

like Jo what we're just going to leave

play17:08

it I agree cuz this is what you do as

play17:10

well you put the your performance stuff

play17:11

like your carbon fiber you do all that

play17:13

on everything pretty much you yeah most

play17:15

of them yeah but yeah with that it was

play17:16

just too good to touch you know I love

play17:19

that what's the mileage on that car

play17:20

25,000 really yeah that's a nice car and

play17:23

even the prize tag in the window it just

play17:24

looks great value do it oh it is yeah I

play17:26

mean that that's there can't be many

play17:27

like that that's that's original you

play17:29

know it's really original car that is a

play17:30

nice car how many own it got uh two I

play17:33

think really yeah yeah I like that I

play17:35

like that a lot I've always liked them

play17:36

f8 M3 I think they're just a great great

play17:38

allrounder they're good value but then

play17:40

you look at stuff like this and I think

play17:43

for me personally if that I may be like

play17:46

RS6 maybe but what's better in a touran

play17:49

yeah like they they're they're so cool I

play17:52

do like that a lot I think I would I'd

play17:54

actually rather have that over an RS6 I

play17:56

think BMW missed the missed the Market

play17:58

there didn't they why they left it so

play17:59

long yeah know why they do before why

play18:02

did they not do it why did they not do

play18:03

it sooner yeah there's so many good

play18:05

opportunities as well like the E90 and

play18:07

then the f80 why did they not do it yeah

play18:09

weird is it yeah it is weird yeah we I

play18:11

mentioned this on my Instagram that's

play18:13

your satin ppf on that I like that I

play18:15

like what you've done with that you do

play18:16

all of that in house as well

play18:18

everything's in house yeah we got um ppf

play18:21

Bay all done trained Tech in there so

play18:24

yeah he's pretty much full-time doing

play18:25

that now so we actually did that um just

play18:28

just every now and then we'll try and do

play18:29

something different with a car so that's

play18:31

really just uh just to show people what

play18:32

we can do what you can do yeah again I

play18:35

love that like it's different and it's

play18:37

well protected like that car is going to

play18:38

stay like that forever now well and not

play18:41

just the protection yeah there that

play18:42

that's a massive bonus obviously but

play18:43

also we spoke earlier about Frozen paint

play18:46

in is a bit of a pain really is it I

play18:48

mean it's amazing don't get me wrong

play18:50

it's a big spec option yeah I would

play18:51

never want to buy one I just wouldn't

play18:53

want yeah any scratch and you can't do

play18:54

nothing with it where yeah whereas with

play18:56

that you got the same effect almost but

play18:59

with um without the worry of doing any

play19:00

damage that's it so yeah it's a win-win

play19:03

let's wander inside now and end it on

play19:05

these two absolute gems you've got

play19:07

inside yeah because I'm amazed to see

play19:10

these two cars parked here and it sums

play19:12

you up perfectly yeah it does yeah it's

play19:15

uh You' got some big blls to rely I that

play19:18

or stupid you've got to be a bit stupid

play19:21

to be a car trader I thing cuz sometimes

play19:23

we take punts on some random things

play19:24

don't we and some usually it goes good

play19:27

usually go sou yeah so a 2016 M4 GTS I

play19:32

I've never seen I've obviously seen them

play19:34

advertised online before I've never had

play19:36

one in front of me what a car how many

play19:37

of them is are actually made so in that

play19:40

color in white there's only six like

play19:42

full stop only six oh my God so yeah

play19:45

that's that's a really rare car and in

play19:47

great condition I think it's done 6,000

play19:49

Mi Bel me that your own car is it that's

play19:53

we're actually selling this on behalf of

play19:55

someone but we have got a deal where if

play19:57

it doesn't sell then we are going to be

play19:58

buying it oh so that's that's how it's

play20:00

been left but yeah such a nice car and

play20:03

it's got It's got like things like um

play20:04

it's got like meth on it as well oh is

play20:06

it really yeah like like from the

play20:08

factory of course it has I just which is

play20:11

uh yeah so I mean it's got billstein

play20:13

obviously Ceramics it would be a great

play20:16

track car but but you couldn't you know

play20:18

no no well that's its purpose they done

play20:20

the obviously the M4 then they done the

play20:21

Cs didn't they yeah which you've got

play20:23

actually got CS out the front as well

play20:24

you got CS just behind you yeah just

play20:26

there oh yeah yeah and then this was

play20:28

like the top of the range they didn't do

play20:30

a CSL did they on no the no not no not

play20:32

on these no then they went straight into

play20:33

that with the CSL which yeah so we talk

play20:37

about this now it's a an M4

play20:40

CSL an M4 so hold on this is your own

play20:44

car this is this is our car this is the

play20:45

car that you guys this our own car um

play20:48

again the markets just shifted massively

play20:50

so we we're in between that point of

play20:52

it's it's for sale it's still at good

play20:54

price um but if it stays here it stays

play20:57

here I'm not too worried you know it'll

play20:59

it'll go when it's ready I think that's

play21:00

a good attitude to have because it's it

play21:02

is an absolute gem did you buy it brand

play21:03

new then we bought it off of a customer

play21:06

um got in a lot of trouble from BMW

play21:08

about this car did he or you did or he

play21:10

did oh no way yeah cuz we advertised it

play21:13

straight away the minute we advertised

play21:14

it where'd you get that car from then I

play21:16

had a car on order with BMW that they

play21:18

then canceled on me because of this car

play21:20

really it's caused it caused me a lot of

play21:22

grief but it's yeah they are very

play21:24

particular about where they go though is

play21:25

they they are at the moment I think once

play21:27

it once the market quiets down for them

play21:29

I think it'll it'll be fine again you

play21:31

know it's all about that demand supply

play21:33

and demand when the demand's low then

play21:35

they they got to be less cheoy yeah but

play21:38

no that's like literally 25 mies that's

play21:40

all it's done really we trailered it

play21:42

back here and it's um been foto and sat

play21:44

here BL me yeah even like it's got

play21:48

carbon fiber Bonnet isn't it carbon

play21:50

fiber Bonnet yeah

play21:53

boot du tow as

play21:55

well this is still the fastest car

play21:57

around nberg as well for BMW ah is it

play22:00

really that's quite an interesting don't

play22:01

know the time but yeah yeah I was going

play22:03

to say what else is unique about these

play22:05

cars over an M4 it's got the seats and

play22:08

there well the yeah the seats are

play22:09

slightly different um obviously there's

play22:11

loads of carbon everywhere yeah um

play22:13

carbon ceramic brakes as well brakes

play22:15

which but they don't have the normal

play22:16

color so they're a different color oh

play22:18

they normally like the gold don't they

play22:21

they're now red um and then obviously

play22:23

the full carbon kit different suspension

play22:26

there on um different Wheels as as well

play22:28

they're lighter mhm um when you yeah

play22:31

when you get down to it it's quite

play22:33

that's hence the L is it it's a

play22:34

lightweight everybody sort of looks at

play22:36

it initially and says why is it that

play22:37

much more than that one but you have to

play22:39

know what you're once you start looking

play22:41

into it there's a lot there's a lot to

play22:42

it in there yeah and other things it's

play22:44

got It's got no rear seats is it so yeah

play22:46

no rear seats it's all

play22:49

uh that's it carbon fiber seats electric

play22:52

as well and no rear seats check

play22:55

out wow what a car no center arm

play22:57

wresters as well which is the same as

play22:59

that one's alongside all of them don't

play23:00
