DAMONS SECRET NEW CAR GETS DELIVERED TO DDE HQ!

[@STi_lin.boost13]

I love how mike goes super into depth with his work. Great job man I cant get enough!

[@R0KL0bStEr]

I can't stress enough how impressive it is to hear Mike explain his thought process on these builds.

[@tomhanks3166]

Don't panic, it's organic.

[@lindelani_maphosa]

I like Tim’s simple humour😂

[@tutet13]

That’s good cause I’m guessing he will be doing a lot of the work swapping the bmw engine on stories channel if you are interested

[@ToyvideosKh]

Me too 🎉

[@RUOFENDED]

He's so awkwardly funny love it !

[@DrDaaP]

His humor torches me

[@RUOFENDED]

@@DrDaaP better than your uncle touching you !

[@brianhendrickson7166]

With all the content and additional comp cars that’s coming from Mike now is bringing a whole new edge to DDE that nobody else has. Bringing Mike and Tim on was such a genius move. DDE do everything you can to keep these two happy and on the team. You landed a golden egg with those two. DDE has evolved in such a way over the years it’s incredible

[@WRProductions303]

Stuck just below 4M subs for a while, now adding building and racing content is gonna bring in so many new people. So glad DDE is growing!

[@duck_dodgersX]

Does anyone know what happened to the Alpha gtr r35?

[@hugo-pg5tv]

​@@duck_dodgersXthey sold it I believe. Like it was already modified and they didn't do that much builds like they do now.

[@spencerhansen5804]

​@babis01M pretty sure that car scared the shit outta them and that's why they sold it lol. My favorite episodes were when they drove that thing and were getting real sketchy lol

[@JoeVinson]

​@@hugo-pg5tvthey finished an actual build? Or are you talking about the 550?

[@MSA_CS40]

I know we always say this but i must give Mike credit for explaining how certain things work and for me not only listening but learning as well. 👍🏼

[@ardenfraser8948]

Videos with just him and Tim suck.

[@FinesseSounds]

​@@ardenfraser8948 if you say so

[@carlos64030]

Mike is honestly my new favorite fabricator! His brain is like an encyclopedia filled with a wealth of knowledge and I truly respect that. Listening to him explain things makes me realize how much I DON'T know about building cars.

[@jokerpsyc0]

You’re the man Mike, would love to see you and Damon on a rally. It’ll be a nice getaway from the shop life for a bit

[@MrMattb077]

It will be a shame. If Mike doesn’t get to go on a rally I’m thinking the next gumball.

[@zuhayrm]

​@@MrMattb077yes all of them need to do their own rally with all the DDE team members

[@MSA_CS40]

Great idea

[@B.u.F.u]

What happened to the F1 content??? Or is that going to show up in a couple weeks? Great race🎉

[@mkr9]

Yes

[@northeastcarhunter]

Class is in session with The Mad Scientist, absolutely love how Mike explains everything he's doing and why he's doing it that way. Give this guy a raise DDE lol

[@JoeVinson]

He is definitely better than dde.

[@literallyleo]

i've learned more from him than i did in high school auto shop lmao. like the way he explained the effect of different flywheel weights just made so much sense!!

[@FreezeGamings]

Nothing good watching DDE in the middle of the holiday (in the jungle) while internet keep cutting off 😢 YSOB

[@PINKtheory]

With Christmas right around the corner, Mike deserves a legendary gift. Take it out of Dave's salary. These build videos are gold! We love 'em. Keep them comin🙏❤️

[@Effex_08]

It’s wild the amount of knowledge Mike has, and how well he explains everything. It’s an absolute blast to watch, and learn.

[@tishasolomon6173]

Mike you are apparently a great teacher I enjoy your BUILD CHANNEL as Much as DDE😊

[@Moreddy07]

I love how DDE is has become two split groups of one group building and one group being out there driving. This is new and it’s freaking awesome. You guys make Monday better. Lets goo can’t wait for the exhaust design.

[@aychdee981]

Love the detail on everything! But the never seen items (bellhousing) explanations and reasons you give for why it happens the way it does is above and beyond Mr. Essa!!! Applause to you sir

[@jeremysimmons8658]

Man this thing is starting to take shape. Love seeing the progress. Awesome content and love seeing all the guys putting in work. Mike you da man. Keep it up guys. I never miss a drop.

[@johnsumner1715]

You're a legend Sir. Mike is so involved but speaking in language the average man can understand you sir are a gentleman!!!

[@rickvang7313]

I love the nerding out with Mike content. I've always looked up to Mike and Stephen Papadakis as car buffs/nerds.

[@wingingtundra]

I watch every single video that Mike makes. Keep it up.

[@lp1962]

Nothing better than whatching dde while on break in the home office

[@PennyGing]

Your work place hiring 🤣

[@Lucaskaiserr]

Same here!

[@tadhgbolen3054]

I prefer taking my break 30 foot in the air in a scissor lift myself.

[@VStroMaik]

I am doing the same, in every brake I check if there is any new content video.

[@evosammys]

I watch it every morning at work as soon as i sit down at the office, their videos get released same exact time as i start work.

[@romeotaylor]

Todays update is so exciting! The final build is going to be amazing! Keep up the great work! Mike Essa you are a wizard my guy! Insane skills!

[@wh3l4n26]

Mike knows his onions!! I find him really fascinating when he goes into detail explaining things. When he explains it he really makes it easy for everyone to understand despite it being quite technical. What a guy!!

[@lindelani_maphosa]

I hope the SVJ is on its way back😭😭😭 Imagine how crazy the lineup will look end of year…SVJ,KB43 Huracan, Murcielago, 720 GTR, Senna, Squadra Corse and the 599 What a fleet🫡. Well done TEAM DDE

[@3ayoud63]

And a McLaren 570 GT4

[@Elton.p5452]

The 720 GTR is gona take a long time same goes for mercy and you forgot the carbon senna they just bought

[@tavilopi8677]

It is on its way back

[@aheartforcars]

And the F12

[@Q_2NCE]

Forgot both race cars 💪🏾

[@MR18.5]

Mike an the build team such a brilliant addition to DDE I’m hooked with this one 🤛🏼

[@ThePattyWagon]

I would love to learn more from Mike. Dude, you are so freaking smart and passionate. Watching your process and knowledge is a daily inspiration!

[@Grayson150]

Same i feel like i know a decent amount about cars and mike makes me feel like dave lol

[@jesstill7833]

Hell Mike is one smart man ,he’s a fabricator of high class ,the good thing he explains his work so we understand ..The man is good at his job ,I guess he knows what he is talking about well done Mike and crew cheers ❤️😁😀😀😇🏎️🏎️🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸🎂

[@hallron_]

I love how in depth everything is explained with additional tips from an experienced mechanic and drift driver. I could watch channel with only builds like this with Mike Essa

[@Crispy1320]

Thank you Mike for the detail you give when explaining things.

[@joeq2293]

Coming together slowly but surely. Very cool to watch this process from the different systems being built so carefully with the end goal in mind. Training car for Damon is a great idea as well. I really like these videos.

[@JoeVinson]

I hope Damon is buying the car instead of just ruining it

[@SHANNU_26]

I used to watch dde 5 years ago and from when Mike started building cars in dde, I got addicted....keep going on Mike we absolutely love your job and you are my inspiration ❤

[@nathanhood2415]

That locating work for the bell housing is very impressive. Well done to the guy who designed that.

[@kristen-johnshearman2696]

Why is mikes content so natural it’s so good!

[@tutet13]

Seriously excited to watch the BMW swap on the stories channel. Hopefully we will get some episodes that are an hour or so. Love watching Mike and Tim work together. The more DDE content the better!

[@NZGilead]

Mike, best content ever ! Carry on guys, we love it.

[@patrickstrohm2193]

Killing it guys!! Gaining such a better understanding of what really makes a race car CORRECT!! Great work guys, keep up the hard work!

[@miltonbarnes7761]

My partner and I built several race cars over the years. Mike shows and explains why and how in such detail and is such a perfectionist. Now I know why we raced on the weekend then spent the entire week fixing things that broke. Thank you Mike for the education.

[@davidrennie82]

Everything is starting to come together now Mike and the team are killing it

[@joshuacurtis1465]

Mike you are a gawd damn genius when it comes to anything automotive. When Mike talks, I listen.

[@raymondmartinez4008]

see this thing slowly start to come together part by part is incredible

[@theAlexanderMass]

Mike's the best thing that happened to DDE. The amount of knowledge as well as the way he's putting out the info are astonishing.

[@StephenMWest]

Another master class in race car building from the man, the myth, the legend, Mike Essa. Your experience and knowledge are undeniable, your communication skills are very good as well, you're easy to understand. Thanks.

[@StompyGames]

Absolutely enjoying this build series! Mike and the gang are doing some awesome work! And hats off to Garry! as an engineer myself i know how much time and effort goes into parts like that, and to have it set up so you can center it! What a guy!

[@86sthet]

I feel like I can build a drift car now after learning so much from Mike. Dude explain everything so simple

[@joshuaboehm6419]

I can't get enough of this Ferrari build content.. Now the BMW on the stories channel? Gonna be rad! Also, the waste gate dump being built into that pipe is a super nice piece, and talk about convenient. Keep killing it guys!

[@carl656]

love how you are explaining all the little details, shows true craftsmanship!

[@DenudationCS]

I would love to see a 1 hour episode of the whole build at the end of this, would be incredible to see it all from start to finnish in one sitting! Cant wait to see this thing in action.

[@Peteblz1]

Love my mike videos. Idc what hes building or driving. The way he explains things just makes sense. Really feel his passion for motorsports.

[@zimbakin]

Mike, You’re a genius and a gem man. Absolutely partner material with Damon 👍

[@auralxtc]

Michael Essa is a legend. It's so awesome getting to hear him walk through the whole process of building a car at this level.

[@Nathan-qz3mg]

Thank you so much on how you explain things...you're a fantastic engine builder...amazing talent...a true treasure for DDE...enjoying every minue of the build..Will be Great to see you train Damon as well!

[@georgesaker4983]

Thank you mike and tim for joining DDE we love you guys

[@stuartkarshagen6274]

Yes, back to build video content 💪🏻💥. Mike and his team doing an awesome job. I wish it was done already but also I dont because I love watching the build series 😂

[@jamesbodnar4345]

New drinking game, take a shot every time Mike says "dimple die"!😂😂😂

[@dancharron7098]

🇨🇦😎🎄 Watching Mike do his thing really is a teacher of greatness that has years of knowledge and experience with the local contacts to really help build mega cars. In a lot of ways it explains how one guy can take a car and make it 2 seconds faster then stock with just a few mods and all still looking like stock.

[@Steve89074]

The knowledge that you bring to the table is unreal. I love how you can explain any part to the nth degree.

[@swunson]

nothing better than watching dde while on break in Antarctica

[@RushinVr6]

Where

[@Shakeysmoker1]

The hell you say lol

[@grooveguy]

GTFOH!!!! Really Bro you're in the forbidden land??? So tell us is there an ice wall??? Is the planet round or flat LOL!!!!! DDE fans be everywhere ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@CarsCatAliens]

​@@grooveguyOmg lol ... We want penguin pics !!

[@phonetics8272]

​@@grooveguyhaha😂came to say the same!!

[@tal-ajkla]

Its good to watch Mike and his crew of workers showing the masses the right way to do a job properly, skilled tradesman,just hope Damon is paying them enough......😂😂😂❤

[@natecox7083]

Damon deserves so much credit for evolving his channel. So many KZbin personalities would be too self centered to allow other personalities to shine on their channel. Damon understands it’s all about giving his viewers the best content and allowing everyone to showcase their talent. Thank you Damon for bringing this group together. I Iove the rally and track stuff and I love the detailed shop content too.

[@kevind8500]

Love Mike and the team great addition to DDE it's better than TV production shows ❤

[@beaugator]

Excellent content Mike! You would've fit right in to my world, aviation structural mechanic. Those "lightning holes" are 80 YO aviation tech. The flange you added to the hole adds a lot of strength to the panel! If I weren't an "old guy", I'd send you an application. I'd love to work with you on this project! Keep the updates coming M8.

[@shawnpeterson1777]

I have learned so much from these videos. Thank you for posting them. Keep up the awesome videos.

[@MrMattb077]

I love how Mike knows damn well that if Damons car doesn’t look cool in and out while driving fast, the project is a no go. 🔥

[@Nismospec52]

Keeps me motivated and learning new things while building my drift car. Thanks Mike and Tim!!!!

[@mg2222]

Mike, Tim and Sean you guys killing it !! Keep up the great work🔥🔥

[@GenerationTPR]

I really loved the facetracking in the intro, Mark has to continue using that feature.

[@Bullies_Inc]

Can we get a video updating us on where all the cars are at, which cars are still in the DDE fleet & which are not. P.S. Miss seeing the SVJ.

[@buddacheez]

I have never enjoyed watching a build so much. You are the man Mike and the rest of the crew! Keep killing it guys! Cant wait to see the finished Car!

[@Busterarthursfriend]

Am I crazy or did no secret car get delivered to the HQ?

[@mikaelholloway3400]

Just got at home from work and watching DDE is so awesome 😊❤

[@MaxKingsley72]

Still waiting to see Damon’s new “secret” car, because all I see is Mike’s very not secret car. Another lie from DDE

[@mikey49898]

Mike is so good on camera. I'm glad DDE brought him on board. Can't wait to see the F12 done. Great work Mike and team!

[@protacioadrian237]

Absolutely enjoying the build so far. Excited to see the comp car and practice damon with it.

[@seanpepper117]

Awesome build series Mike was a great addition to the channel!!

[@stephanietaryn8702]

More Damian and Dave get an exhausting watching Mike

[@edwardmtl]

I love how you guys engineered that mounting system to weld the bellhousing. Pretty intense how careful you have to be. It shows how talented you guys are.

[@juanviviers4035]

Thanks Mike for an awesome video can't wait to see it all done

[@hiphophead211]

Love how Mike explains things. I am clueless when it comes to cars. But Mike really puts it in simple terms. Love it. Keep it up!

[@markglover100]

It's the small touches that make great builds. That's a proper fabricator not doing things by half. Love to see it

[@valoantips]

I want see Mike in his own supercar drift car. We need more Mike driving on the channel. That move he threw parking his car was epic.

[@robke12]

I would love to this type of work. Mike and Tim you guys have a cool job building stuff you like and build it with passion for it

[@BREZ33]

It’s just natural for Mike to quickly explain how things work and I really appreciate that!

[@timpindell8178]

Damn, that was the best ground level explanation of everything you covered I have ever heard. Not in a rush to power through it, made it very consumable, and this is how you know someone knows what they are talking about. Outstanding job!

[@MrThebig80]

The way Mike parked his drift car was what we all tried to do on GTA as kids.. 😂

[@langtonmotorsport]

Love the level of detail from Mike. 💪

[@otownracer]

Keep it up Mike, you're killing it!

[@glennda72]

Mike never fails to amaze on the stuff he knows..loving the f12 twin turbo car build.cant wait to see it completed 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@guruplay5416]

Every time Shaun's on the camera you just know he about to do something impressive.

[@King_James_69]

Would love to build with Mike it’s hard to find people that are more than just a mechanic,he understands most aspects of building, a drive line and other stuff I’m actually interested witch is rare thanks 😊

[@keithenright8609]

Mike is a serious operator. Always eager to learn. Legend

[@D3ggz06]

I love Mike, Tim, Mark and new fab guy. Although he's barely in I can't remember his name. Keeps killing it boys

[@loneranger1675]

Mike, your knowledge is just mind blowing. Listening to you explain and accurately execute is class. You, Tim and Mark have undoubtedly brought a unique angle to DDE and we love it! Keep it up man! Love from South Africa!

[@jameshallam4705]

The F12 TT is going to be epic, class video

[@_AllTheWayJay_]

Dude I could watch mike build cars all day the amount of knowledge this dude holds is mental and the way you parked your drift car 👌

[@eliaskarlsson6069]

I love how Mike explains exactly how everything works when he builds the f12!!

[@risingsunracer]

great episode love seeing the process and great to see eric back to

[@tv2291]

Damon made the smartest decision bringing Mike in to build his cars. I love it he’s so knowledgeable. I feel like I can build a car after watching these build series lol

[@HullH2kker]

Loving those build series, awesome! I'm learning a lot, so ty for that! Mike is best thing ever happend to DDE! Sending love from Estonia! Because DDE I'm starting my own youtube channel! Have to start somewhere 🫠

[@kusha1113]

Bro these build videos are like am in a classroom being lectured but the only difference is am loving this getting so much to learn DDE is much now I hope they grow more❤

[@jdinner399]

As a mechanic for 42 years, a high school auto shop teacher for 24 years and car builder, I love the videos with Mike. He knows his stuff and we appreciate it!

[@Hazeoflemons]

Mike you genuinely seem like a wicked cool dude to know and you’re automotive knowledge is amazing I love taking in all the racing tech knowledge

[@critshot4694]

I think Mike is the only person who can explain in detail every aspect of each mechanical piece and their purpose, and outcomes of any minute mistake and still hold my attention to the end.
