@Ratarossa, think Bendpak can hook you up with a lift?

[@anthonygibbo1881]

Scott I think I know who you might be talking about regarding the engine rebuild and there really is only one man for the job, I wonder if it's the same person I'm thinking, 🤔 😂.

[@ronniemeyhoff8306]

Uhh. A GTO projekt sounds like a great projekt, and cool content.

[@Reptile36]

Fantastic content, glad you're back. Completely off topic, what model of Ray-Bans are you wearing. Absolutely killer.

[@MasterSandman]

Glad to see you back on it, mate! 👍 Restore the 328 or go for the 288 GTO Tributo, would both be great content! Please leave the Ratarossa as is! Maybe make the fitment and the state of the interior perfect! How about making an aluminium (or fiberglass with aluminium coating, for optic purposes, ofcourse) custom hardtop with matching roof liner to put on it, so you're not just bound by the occasional sunny weather in Britain?

[@blucheer8743]

Thanks!

[@moiluck]

Not my business, but if I was in your skin, I would be restoring the testarossa and selling it with one or two more of your ferraris and buying the right property for living in it with place enough for having your passion at home. You would be saving a lot of money every month with an absolute peace of mind. So after that you will be able to center on your awesome projects ahead. Good luck man.

[@adamweston4152]

I have to say that I agree with what you have said here, you have put your priorities before your dreams.

It is WILD to own multiple Ferraris and be a home renter! I'm also a renter , and my entire business depends on my landlord continuing to let me rent his property. Its a very insecure feeling. Good luck mang!!

Yer that's nuts I only own a bloody leasehold flat. But it's all I can afford but shit its way better than renting.

Thanks for the encouragement

[@conniebenny]

A new Ratarossa video? EXCELLENT!!! So good to have you back again Scott. I was beginning to worry about you. I'm really sorry to hear about all the problems you've been having, but so pleased you've managed to prioritise your family first and foremost, but then also find a way to maintain your Ferrari passion and keep to producing these fantastic videos. We love you, man! This is my favourite channel on KZbin by far, so I'm really looking forward to seeing your new content, as and when you release it 🙂

[@Ratarossa]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Sometimes we need a little reset and its so good to have great family, friends and in my case very loyal amazing followers. Back on it now and for sure the Ferrari passion is there more than ever right now !

[@SteveBigTaco]

Whatever content you post I’m watching!! Thanks for everything.🤙

[@Ratarossa]

Awesome! Thank you! Very much appreciated

They call that “the perfect storm”… I went through it a few years ago keep ur head up mate! storms never last!

[@51madmitch]

Nice to know you are still going, as I spent 21 years in the motor trade, two pieces of advice, only have two cars on the go for repairs, and have space around them to work, makes life so much easier, good luck with your future plans.

[@blairwilliams136]

Absolutely correct

[@tristanfletcher]

I don't care if it takes you 10 years, man. Look after your family and self first. I'll be here with you through thick and thin. x

Please keep Ratarossa as it is. Keep it real and don't burden it with the weight of car snobbery.

[@OwenHilton-b3z]

Sorry to hear about your problems, Ratty. It’s good to see you back and I’m looking forward to many more videos.

[@callyk5678]

I’m no KZbin expert but I’d put a pretty hefty bet that once the f40 re build kicks off your channel is going to explode! I’ve been a sub for ages and this channel is one to watch, just like Matt Armstrongs was. Great in front of the camera, knowledge off the chart on Ferraris and you come across as a great guy. Great things are coming! And I wish you all the success in the world!

[@mrbeancounter90]

Scot, Your original Mondial restoration and the BBi find were small things that got me through the lockdown months. the pieces will fit together again, stay strong

[@Ratarossa]

Thank you mate

[@danarmstrongmusic]

Sorry to hear about the life woes - as you say, they happen to us all. Hope you're all back on track though :) Looking forward to whatever content gets put out tbh

[@erapz1970]

Dude sell a couple cars and buy a house with a massive garage.. maybe outside of town...your channel is awesome

[@Lucan-ve6zc]

I think that the BBI may well turn out to be my favourite car of all time on youtube. It's going to be stunning.

[@pasquale78]

Hi Scott, thanks for the video. I was wondering when we would see an update. That being said, whatever you've got do deal with in your life. Most of us watching, will still be here enjoying the build content. I wish you all the best, cheers!!

[@Ratarossa]

Thanks so much

[@burntclutches]

No worries mate! Glad you're back and content to come, life is never static so you deal with it as it comes and if it makes any difference your channel is probably the only one I have the most anticipation for new episodes because I enjoy your content. Looking forward to the new adventures.

[@Ratarossa]

Thanks so much. Life has its ups and downs for everyone and Its having such great people around us that help lift us back up ... Im so lucky to have amazing followers as well who appreciate this

[@notnoel8904]

Nothing more important than family. If you are plagued with obstacles and your family has your back, then keep on doing what you’re doing but now do it better. Between your family, good friends, and fans, we know you got this.

[@hansdegeytere]

We all know sometimes life gives you lemons (been there, done that), but I'm sure you'll make great lemonade from it, nice to see you back Scott ! Lots of work to do, all F's are broken :( Fix the grey one and sell it, then fix another one to sell, etc ... If I were you. I would keep the F430, the Ratarossa and the future F40, not much more ;) The Ratarossa, I would leave it as is (unless you are sure you can make BIG money from it)

I am happy you are doing better. As much as we love the car sell some and get a property for your own. Take care of yourself

[@hengineer1]

Glad to see you back dude! I've had some challenges in my life - more so of late and I find the youtubing to be a welcome distraction. The community is great and what you're doing is awesome. Thanks for bringing us along with you on the journey. Can't wait for a 288GTO tribute! Yes Scott!

[@Ratarossa]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I wanted to be honest in the video because everyone has ups and downs in life and it just shows we are all human with similar experiences

[@liamegan4303]

Hi Scott. Great to see your back, bro. You need "Jack built it" over to help you out with the front of that Car, lol. Be Careful, with the Security. You know. Sorry to hear about the house getting sold, a big blow for you. Hopefully, it's onward and upward for you, and the Channel, no one better deserves it, keep Smiling. Scott. Keep up the great work 👍 👏 👏🇨🇮

[@dosgos]

I like the refurb of the junk cars. Also encourage selling off the whole fleet. This will help finance a home, reduces storage costs, and keeps you focused.

[@mackas69]

Great to have you back, Scott. The 'I've got new tyres' video was pretty awful, but now understandable in hindsight. I wouldn't touch the Testarossa - if it's worth £1m+, your head might force you to sell it and break your heart in the process. After all, it's the identity of the channel, isn't it? When you've put so much into a project, it must be hard to move a car on but you can't keep them all (unless you're Matt Armstrong....!).

[@realbogus]

Good luck!!! The grey 308 reminded me... about 25 years ago, I tried to buy a 1979 308 GTB, in grey! All of $27k!!! I didn't get it, lost my garage... sigh..

You're doing a great job restoring those Ferraris. People that restore project cars run into all kinds of problems but the passion helps us get through them. Keep your chin up and drive on. Don't live with the regret of, what if. Just be mindful of what is more important... family and good health. With that said, you will be rewarded with the finished product of pure satisfaction.

[@stu4rtp]

Good to see you back Scott, glad you are over this particular bump in the road. I know KZbinrs love multiple projects on the go but focussing on the getting the grey car finished & punted would seem to be a smart move (from my armchair at least 😂)

[@theskitz75]

I love the less often videos as long as the content is good a lot of car youtubers are pumping out cont but it can get gimmicky and a little tacky ... Stick to what you know works for you 👌

[@zooropaforever]

Glad to see you back on the prancing horse saddle Scott! The BBI looks stunning and I aleays had a soft spot for the 456. My personal and unrequested advice: drop that 288 tribute thing. It will spoil a still nice car and transform it in something that will never be a real GTO. It's a lose-lose action to my eyes.

[@tommysamuelson9963]

The Ratarossa has run its course, make it proper and sell it. Then use the funds for your future endeavors. Maybe your own house with a proper work space. Great work

[@martinmüller5006]

Interesting to mention,as lover of restoring old cars remember this, focus on one car, make a good job of it don't get side tracked. If you have finished your project stand back and feel good after your restoration profect then tackleyour next (project). If you tackle too many restourations thing go wrong, parts go missing and of course valuable time with family and friends goes out the back door of the house. Of course every project needs good planning valuable time, effort and of course moneeey. Al the best for you with your planning.

[@marklawrence9028]

Came for the 308, stayed for the BBi and the rest. Sorry to hear that such major life changes were forced on you and family by a landlord, but that's the sad world we live in. Hope things are on the up now and you're settled in your new place. For priority, can we have some BBi followed by a side order of BBi, with a bit of BBi to follow, but with some BBi thrown in, just to mix it up a bit? Cheers! 👍

Sorry to hear of your troubles Scott. Been watching your videos for a few years. I think it would be a great series to make getting the Ratarossa up to OE spec, and getting as much cash for it as you can. I think you’ll do very well both with views and a big cash injection at the end of it. Get yourself a nice house with a large workshop, security for you and your family comes first. Then crack on with the F40 build :) Good luck bud Rob - Cheshire

[@marky9117]

Been watching for years and love the cars and content! Don’t want to kick a man when he’s down but why on earth would you not be buying your own home?! It’s the single biggest thing you can do for your families security. All of us petrolheads are addicted to cars but home and family have to come first. Cars are for when everything else is going nicely. Glad you’re navigating a way through your challenges but get a house bought before you mess about with anymore cars. Mislaid priorities. All the best going forward though and I look forward to what’s coming. 👍🏻

Having a garage outside of the house is definitely the way to go! I'm assuming you have less time and noise related restraints there as well? Sometimes it takes an outside force to kinda reset things, take a step back and move you on and up in the world. Been watching your videos a long time and from what i can tell you and your skills have outgrown the small house garage a long time ago! Remember to enjoy the summer as much as you like, and take care of yourself and your family as much as possible!

[@vintage4941]

Landlords are selling up as their mortgages and other costs are multiplying forcing them to exit. If the rat is worth anywhere near what you think I’d mint it and sell to fund your own house and your f40 build. A two post lift is a must have !
