10:37there has been a slight change in my circumstances recently
10:39erm
10:41I got divorced
10:42Get something out of the way, straight away.
11:01There has been a slight change in my circumstances recently.
11:06I got divorced, which means I now live here.
11:10And I like it, it's got amazing views.
11:12A place to keep some of my cars and bikes, and best of all, it's closer to the workshop.
11:23I am trying to put a silver lining on this, it's been a tough few years, but it's not all bad.
11:36Being closer to the workshop means I can commute in some of my more interesting old cars.
11:40Cars like this one.
11:41And when I get to the workshop, things are looking up.
11:47Welcome back to the workshop.
12:00Can you feel it?
12:01It's different.
12:02It's tidy.
12:03We've got artwork on the walls.
12:04And there's work.
12:05That's Debbie McGee's Mercedes SL.
12:08The old manky interior gone.
12:09New one going in.
12:10The Maserati Indy.
12:11It is such a relief to see work happening on that car.
12:15It's nearly there.
12:16The only thing you can't see is the team.
12:18But they are here.
12:19Significantly, they're actually in there.
12:21Every morning, about nine o'clock, they start the day with a meeting.
12:25They talk about what they're doing.
12:26We communicate.
12:27It's the smallest cog 2.0.
12:29It's working.
12:3016.
12:31Where are you?
12:3217.
12:33I found myself upside down in Debbie McGee's Mercedes.
12:42A lot has happened with this car.
12:57Disc and rusty.
12:59Brake pads are gone.
13:00Brake shoes are gone.
13:02To be honest, the list is never-ending.
13:04We took on Debbie's Mercedes after floodwater damage rendered it a write-off.
13:10Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
13:15I love everything about that car.
13:17Obviously, the emotional attachment to Paul.
13:20And it was my dream car.
13:22This is not good.
13:23The smoke has been washed up at sea.
13:26Because it's been sat for so long with water in it, corrosion has taken place and it's
13:30actually broke off all the fuse holders.
13:34So, I've taken this one out and replaced it.
13:37And I'm one step closer to getting Debbie's car running so she can go back out and enjoy
13:43the road again.
13:45Debbie, I can hear you.
13:46Hello, yes.
13:47How are you?
13:48Good, thank you.
13:49Good.
13:50How are you?
13:51Very well indeed.
13:53I want to just show you one thing.
13:54So, if you're okay with that, come with me.
13:55Yeah.
13:56Right.
13:57Here is your car.
13:58Anthony is working on it for you.
14:00And here he is.
14:01Anthony say hello to Debbie.
14:02Hi, Debbie.
14:03Debbie McGee, this is Anthony.
14:04Nice to meet you.
14:05She's actually running again now.
14:06Go on, do it.
14:07There you go.
14:11She's back.
14:12Oh, I mean that's the best news ever and I wasn't expecting to hear the engine this morning.
14:18All right, well, consider yourself updated.
14:21I'll send you some pictures when we've got the interior in.
14:23Oh, please do.
14:24Fantastic.
14:25Okay, great.
14:26Bye.
14:27Brilliant.
14:28See, that feels so different because I can say, yeah, we're on time.
14:32We're on target.
14:33It's going to be on budget.
14:35This is the future.
14:36This is, it's working.
14:38We're professional, Anthony.
14:40Ish.
14:52Change is definitely in the air and there's been another one in my life recently.
14:59Eagle-eyed, astute observer that I know you to be, you'll have noticed this.
15:03Something not in the workshop so far.
15:05Something small, sort of circular in shape.
15:08Air Fordian.
15:09It's Neil.
15:10Neil isn't there.
15:11And with good reason.
15:12Neil, he's 62.
15:14And I think setting up the workshop is one thing.
15:18Overseeing it, watching it grow grey.
15:20But turning up every day with his lunch pail in his hand to clock on.
15:25He's done that.
15:26And now, to keep his brain alive, he's set up another workshop.
15:31A little one at home.
15:33At home.
15:34This is his own business and I want to see it.
15:36The shop.
15:37Hello.
15:38Hello.
15:39Oh mate.
15:40Hello.
15:41How are you?
15:42Hello.
15:43Hello.
15:44Oh mate.
15:45Hello, how are you?
15:46Wow.
15:47Blimey.
15:48Ha ha.
15:49Look at this.
15:50Welcome to Greenhouse Towers.
15:51This is it.
15:52This is my little workshop.
15:53Mate, it's gorgeous.
15:54Yeah, yeah.
15:55I bet you've done interior design.
15:56Oh yeah, it's good.
15:57I've got all the stuff I use on there for doing that with and I've got anything to do with mechanical stuff in this area and then, oh look at this.
16:11Ha ha ha.
16:12Look down there.
16:13That's the mat work department, that's the English wheel, the guillotine, the shop back, all down there and then all the paint side is that side.
16:21Oh exactly, brilliant.
16:22Yeah.
16:23It's fantastic.
16:24It's only taken 60 years.
16:25Mate, I'm tough to bits and work coming in.
16:28Well yeah, I've got work.
16:29This is where I wanted to get to, working on the stuff you want to work on.
16:32Special cars.
16:33It's special.
16:34It's rare and this car's rare because it's the last but one ever made of M6 BMW.
16:38It's cool isn't it?
16:39It's just nice to work on stuff like that.
16:41If I'm here at 10 o'clock at night, it doesn't matter to me.
16:43But if you're in a working environment where everybody wants to knock off, like most people do, 5 o'clock, and that's where you add the old time sheets and that.
16:50Do you do time sheets here?
16:51No, well actually I don't need to.
16:53I've got an app on my phone and I log in every minute of the day.
16:56Oh there it is, asking me now what am I doing.
16:58Production.
16:59Right.
17:00Neil.
17:01Your meter's running, my meter's spinning.
17:03I'm going.
17:04Fish and Ship Friday will happen.
17:06Yep.
17:07And I'll bring you a battered sausage.
17:09See you soon.
17:10All right, go steady.
17:11It'd be nice actually to go back in time to when Richard and I first met when we used to come down to Tram Inn and we'd have Fish and Ship Friday.
17:22And to be honest, we weren't really talking about businesses back then and we were talking about cars.
17:27I know he's got the smallest car but I think you have got to step away from it now and again and just try and live your life a bit but let the pressure run in a business.
17:36You never know.
17:37I might actually get Richard in you again to work on his e-type, get some work out of him, he'd like that.
17:41There was a point where Neil and I fired each other as I recall because I said I'm a terrible manager and you're unmanageable.
17:48Because neither of us were going to fit into those roles.
17:51So Neil's found his place, his role, his playing to his strengths.
17:55I need to do the same.
17:56I need to do the same.
17:57I need to do this....
18:04I'll go.
18:215 ...
18:24the workshop is actually going well now thanks if we're honest in no small part to my stepping
18:35away a bit from day-to-day managing things but if we are going to secure the the high-end ultra
18:42rare jobs that i want to become a calling card of the smallest cog i need to go into full
18:49ambassadorial role that's my job now so i've been looking for opportunities and i think i've got one
18:54here friends of mine all ex-servishmen are involved in something amazing to raise money for the special
19:01forces club benevolent fund it's a charity thing but what they're doing is recreating lawrence of
19:07arabia's incredible trek in 1917 41 of them rode 685 miles on camels across the uncrossable from saudi
19:18to akbar in jordan i have volunteered to go and help for the last stretch as part of the support team
19:24but that gets me to jordan now the previous king of jordan was a massive petrolhead they knew him as
19:31the petrolhead king he didn't just collect cars and he did collect cars he also raced them seriously
19:36and that ignited a sort of growing passion for classic cars in jordan well i'm going to be there
19:43helping the charity but i am an ambassador for the smallest cog put the two together and if i can turn
19:49what looks like a jolly albeit aid of charity into a work trip that's a win-win
19:56front seat covers
20:13so debbie mcgee's lever interior absolutely disgusting i've looked at trimmers and they want
20:22fifteen to twenty thousand pound to retrim this car which is gonna wipe the whole budget out straight
20:27away um she needs brakes exhaust systems electrics and we're not going to be able to do it for that so
20:34i've had a little bit of a brain wave there's a place in germany at the make the seat covers
20:39carpets door cards it all comes as a kit i can get that for around three thousand pounds but
20:48we're going to have to fit the interior ourself which we've never done i'm going to order it
20:55and then i'm going to get myself and matt to fit it it's a gamble but i think it'll pay off i really do
21:05here he is matt i've got you a present is it what we're thinking
21:35i don't know it depends what you're thinking
21:37oh where's it from germany germany debbie mcgee the lovely debbie mcgee's interior this is
21:48this is a whole interior yeah please be everything we need oh that's a carpet thank christmas
21:56a blue carpet nice well the main thing is it's the right color yeah genuine german interior
22:06i think debbie's gonna be one happy lady
22:15i made the mistake of telling lewis about my imminent trip to jordan
22:21must remember never to tell lewis anything ever right just talk me through this again with social
22:29media we have to do abstract things we have to be out there to grow the business right so in your
22:36efforts to publicize the smallest cog workshop yeah i have to ride a cab exactly
22:42good morning i'm daisy richard nice to meet you hi lewis nice to meet you all right to meet you
22:55i will reluctantly concede i can see some point to this if a shot of me on a camel that's what i
23:05secretly think come on come and meet her she's called saraya saraya saraya a cluster of stars
23:12it means in arabic i'm gonna die she doesn't like me we're going to pop richard onto saraya and let
23:19him have a go at moving her around himself and schooling her himself and then we're also going to
23:24make sure that he has a chance to lie down on her because it's important he knows what it's like to
23:29lie down with a camel do you want me to reword that
23:36let's go hello yes i'm richard and yes that is a camel i'm here today to learn how to drive
23:44this wish me luck hello okay more lovely perfect two three oh my god i have trapped a nut quite
24:00badly oh there's a big lump at the back of the saddle it's hurting my buttocks this is fantastic
24:08this is great publicity this is great for the social media
24:11okay richard i'm going to let you loose i'm now you can have it you're now driving you can
24:17have a go go left yeah go left go left pull more with your left brain oh no no go right
24:24go right um no she's trying to eat the sticks yeah i think maybe you should stick to uh driving cars
24:40this is going to be the difficult bit now isn't it yeah pulling that tight so we've unpacked debbie
24:50mcgee's lever interior uh we've got most of the interior in the car but we've left the trickiest
24:55bit to last which are the seats once we get these seats in um we get the car back to debbie as promised
25:00by richard on time and in budget so we've got to clip these over now firm is it yeah right so do we
25:10need to put sides on first i think so yeah oh it will stretch quite a lot by now if i pull that danger
25:20and try and hook this side up and over that will go there that's it this is really tight
25:32so that that's just yeah that's definitely yeah that's really tight i've only just got that on
25:38there look so it's a bit worrying this is not going to be strong enough isn't it yeah that stitching's
25:43coming away there isn't it might have ripped it oh you're joking oh bugger um
26:00i got a friend not far down the road he does you know household seats and hopefully he might be able
26:06to just uh do a little repair for us and return this maybe he's got something stronger yeah that
26:12he'd suggest because it's under so much stress yeah we've got to do some yeah all right let me make
26:18call i'll be back all right he was hoping to get these seats finished today that's not going to happen
26:24now so it's not ideal at all these are the risks you take unfortunately
26:30all right matt what do you got for me we tried to fit these covers yeah and this stuff's kind of
26:41unstitching yeah we've obviously ripped these literally pulling them too hard like so much
26:47pressure i can see that you've got to really give it some pull to get it on which is why you've pulled
26:52the stitching away there yeah we were like properly tugging on it well i'll have to uh take it off and
26:58re-stitch this cardboard back in and then i'll have to get some heat on the cover before i put it
27:03all back on yeah it gives it the stretch um because without that heat that will probably just happen
27:08again does this mean you're going to fit this for us as well not just repair it yeah it does
27:16you're a lifesaver
27:28that's the yeah that little nip and tuck there that makes all the difference
27:52is the door open i arrived in jordan last night i'm here to raise the profile of the trek and
28:01hopefully some money for a good cause but after a night in a freezing tent i'm the one looking for
28:09charity chaps there's really hot water knocking right still mustn't complain i'm just here for the
28:16tail end of the trek and mercifully turns out i don't actually have to ride a camel i think you
28:24should book with another travel agent next year i think well hang on who says anything about next year
28:38this is the sort of rhythm of the days on this trip the camel team sets off one of the cars will range
28:44ahead and find the route normally i've been one of the defenders with one of the teams but the king sent
28:53this for me to have a go on it's fully electric it's got a 500 kilometer range and it's actually very
29:02good off road i've been invited to visit the museum in a man of all the king's cars so you see i'm
29:11stepping closer to meeting the right people look i agreed months ago that i would do this trek just as
29:19a supporter but you know in the back of my mind i thought all the time i might get to pick up some
29:23contacts for the business that's how it works isn't it
29:28they appear to be about to go through customs
29:43yeah it's customs and they're on camels anything to declare just a powerful smell
29:58well done well done mate i mean these guys 25 days of that it has never been done remember since
30:15lawrence did it nobody has ridden camels on that journey it's pretty cool and the town's gone berserk
30:22for it it's fantastic
30:43so the camel trek finished yesterday in akbar and it was fantastic uh then a journey here to amman where i
30:51am today and um it's down to business i have had a few hasty conversations around the subject of cars
30:57here already from what i understand the sort of collectible classic car culture is growing and the
31:04enthusiasm for it so i'm looking to see if there are opportunities might even meet some owners jordan's
31:10love of classics started with the royal family first stop a museum dedicated to the royal collection
31:18this should be good hello are you ida richard nice to see you how are you it's good to have you here
31:26i'm looking forward to seeing this hello how are you welcome to the museum thank you
31:37it's huge in it the the museum uses cars to portray the history of jordan and the royal family with the
31:44idea of what have these cars seen in their lifetime this is an early cadillac 1956 armored car gift from
31:55president eisenhower to king hussein very interesting range rover they were used for her majesty queen
32:03in elizabeth's visit to jordan in 1984. now we go into the vaults
32:15any of these need any work yeah some do some do oh you have a card yeah i don't know how you guessed
32:21i just saw it where shall we send them well perhaps to perhaps to hereof it okay okay thank you very much
32:27you're welcome smooth richard smooth hopefully next i'm going to be whisked off to meet some classic owners
32:43we've got the seats back from oz he's worked his magic got it done quick time as well where we had
32:58stripped it he's re-stitched it all and made it all nice and tight again everything just
33:05seems to line up nicely now
33:10you reckon this is going to fit yeah it's not change shape is it so that's lovely
33:18i think deb is going to be impressed with this matt it's starting to look really good now yeah it is
33:22isn't it i reckon we'll get the heat in there yeah shrink everything in make sure it's all nice and tight
33:28and then just do our little final bit we don't want to do too much physical adjustment on this
33:35right away well what we've got to do now is get some heat into the leather that will make it really
33:40nice and pliable so we can pull it around and then hopefully we'll get it all to line up right fingers
33:47across we don't get burnt all the leather yeah
33:55amazing how much of a difference it makes on being able to pliable and move it around
34:02look at that yeah look you can really see where it's come
34:06really nice that's why you're that lovely now yeah look at that it's really nice i think that's been a
34:11it's gone in an absolute treat if we'd sent that to a trimmers the budget would have been gone
34:19completely swallowed the whole lot up so the gamble has paid off massively matt's just going to finish
34:25heating the areas now and then we will get it ready for a test drive

40:35on it yeah we have spent it yeah uh we could have thrown it all at the interior we could have thrown it

41:15see i think we did the best we possibly could have done for the money i'm really proud of what we
41:18turned out
41:39enter you wanted to see me boss i did you have just been summoned thank you for coming um you know where
41:45this is going yeah your social media campaign has resulted in me dressing as buttons yeah riding
41:53a frankly terrifying camel yeah and driving my land rover dressed up to look like something that
41:59escaped a circus what i want to know is yep is it working am i why am it is working is it if i use
42:06the land rover day for example yes our reach on that day across that weekend that we put all our stuff out
42:13was 317 000 people and actually we've got some work out there as well it is working and i mean
42:22i'll be honest with you i don't know why you've not done this before but this is this is great i'll
42:27concede it may be useful yep are we doing any more of these events we are actually we're gonna do more
42:35here and the smallest call is going to wemberley we're going to wemberley yeah so we've got some cool
42:40things coming i'm not saying i'm glad to be dressed up as buttons and stuck on a camel but if it's
42:50going to be worth it and it is putting us in front of people and they do eventually feel compelled to
42:54bring their cars to us to work on then it's good for the business and i'm happy i'm going to view it
42:59as an experiment and i'm willing to continue but not necessarily indefinitely we shall see
43:13that massive great aston martin lagonda the owners they want us to paint it pink that's a lot of pink
43:19oh my god what's wrong with you why are you doing that oh is he i hope you're okay my darling i really
43:26do i bet you've never done something like this before well no i'm not a burglar if i crash it now am i
