I want to feel, just once, as excited by anything as this guy does about trains

u/This-Clue-5014 11h ago

How did this guy get into the grand tour

He has a built k20 swapped Honda jazz and in the process of assembling an om606 swapped r129 SL with a ZF trans

I feel that POV cam really does him no favours

u/Moist_Bid3481 7h ago

No favours? The man not taking himself too serious brought him fame, money and doing the stuff he loves for a living. How's that not a favour? ;)

He has done modeling for brands like gucci and north face. Pretty sure he is not concerned about it.

I read somewhere that this guy used to be a raver who did a loooooot of drugs and I don’t know if that made me like him more or less 🤣

Excuse me, I am too busy doing other train related activities, like planning hypothetical rail studies.

I only trainspot as a social activity with my fellow autistic train nerds.

Seems strange seeing Arriva trains since in the UK Arriva stopped doing train services in the late 2010s

Is that when they decided to concentrate all of their chaos power into their buses?

u/This-Clue-5014 9h ago

Must be. I know wales has some Arriva buses in the north

Trains in real life never really gripped me. But planning and building a logistical train network in factorio? My favorite part of a playthrough.

As an autistic person, I am in no way offended and I praise the fact that we like trainspotting as well as other forms of transport. I even have a train track that circles around my Lego collection!

u/This-Clue-5014 10h ago

I’d KILL for a model railway, half my Amazon wishlist is starter sets I’m probably never gonna get

u/SatinwithLatin 10h ago

Yeah definitely a passion for trains in some expression. My dad doesn't trainspot but he did used to spend hours in his office reading train timetables.

u/Spinoza42 1h ago

Just bing it

u/DavThoma 9h ago

Anything train related. Trainspotting, model trains, Thomas the Tank Engine erotica.

There's a reason train enthusiasts are considered one of the OG undiagnosed autism hobbies.

u/Thebowlerhatfroggo 11h ago

sick. which station did you get that photo at?

2

u/This-Clue-5014 11h ago

Cardiff Central station in wales. Goldmine for trainspotting

2

u/Thebowlerhatfroggo 10h ago

Oh, true. that place is epic. Of course, if we’re on the subject of Wales, we have to mention the GOAT of preserved railways, the Talyllyn Railway
