Talking Mee So Stupeed

" Let's see, do I want an English car or do I want a German car? decisions, decisions....... "

I have BOTH and yes, the vintage LBC's are in the back yard not running, did I learn anything ? .

Of course not ! I'm trying to schedule a look at a Morris Minor now....

Tyler is always a stand up helpful guy here, I don't really watch you tube videos much plus no link .

He needs to buy the cheapest pre-1996 Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible in the USA, and drive it for a few months. The Citroen-licensed braking and suspension systems are fantastic money pits...

Post Ghetto Rolls Royces....

Last week I was looking at a late 1960's / early 1970's Rolls Royce street parked, it looked O.K. apart from the pretzeled tin foil front bumper....

WOW! that is amazing for it being the self proclaimed "worst automotive youtube channel" (or something like that).

Thanks guys! It's been a wild ride for sure. I just bought a 2004 G55 with 220,000 miles, we'll see how good/bad it is when it gets here!

Scary thing is I still have full mod powers here.

Tyler, I don't know if you saw this. I resurrected this thread after two years (your last post in this thread).....Rich

Holy crap, well, now I know what one of your upcoming vids will be! I subscribed to your channel since the start. I remember the first time you took us to the Car Wizard, and rebuilding your S600. The success you and Tavarish have had (and Samcrac as well) has made me want to start up my own channel, but the time to invest in starting something like that is so crazy! Who knows, maybe I'll do it anyway.

Well now, I had no idea we had our own famous Youtuber on here!
I've watched all the "Car Trek" series you did with Ed and Tavarish, and have seen a few of your videos along. Good stuff. Always entertaining!

Who knows, maybe one day my channel will catch up to you! HAH!
Keep it up, the world needs more mechanical entertainment!

Just watched the video this morning. Very cool.

I love seeing that AMG lip on that 500sl in nearly every video. I had no idea who this guy was that was willing to drop coin on Lorinser LO AND an AMG lip.

You are a terrible role model for guys like me that have about 125 subscribers on YouTube.
