Dave is an excellent human. "Kind, clever and other things."

[@jordanh.2998]

Except he likes Mitsubishis, but we don't worry about that.

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

​@@jordanh.2998Yes but that is a natural consequence of his endless patience and good will, he is the only man fit for the job.

Most Daves are excellent humans........not even biased or anything 😁

Dave is a LEGEND ❤

[@smidydevil]

I love dave! Hes such a cool dude and a wiring wizard. I think him, scotty and Al (turbo yoda) are my favourite guests on this show and love seeing them get involved 😎

[@saschawittig328]

Dave is just a great person to have in your inner circle, as are other people that are regulars on MCM. Thing is, it is easy to attract toxic people, but to get kind and smart people to hang around, you need to be kind too. For me, that is what MCM is all about. That and Moog's little piggies.

[@TechWizMaster]

Dave is a LEGEND!

Dave is a legend🎉

[@LakesideDrive]

Dave has always come across as a legendary human - I hope he's been energised by actually reading these comments! Thanks for being so awesome Dave, we all love you!

[@groucho692]

Dave's kindness is so abundant we can feel it through the interballs

[@John_Benson]

I could just listen to Dave talk for hours. His contributions are priceless to the channel and my level of calm.

[@lobsterbisque7567]

He would be a great teacher/instructor for automotive electrical

[@MrVxgts]

Dave and Tuning fork are legends. I remember meeting him at Autosalon in the early 00’s, was a legend then and still is now.

[@dustinsadler668]

Dave has the POWER! We appreciate all his hard work!

[@Grom_the_Paunch]

How does the camera person keep it so steady and how do they not fall over laughing some times? Good job that person!

[@yagiotoko2110]

You should the stabilisation tech these days 😋

[@anthonyohara2132]

Dave and Scotty are both Legends! So generous with their time and knowledge. We Aussies should be super proud of these two guys.

[@gssngr]

Dave is the best, I wish we all could have a wiring wizard and excellent human like Dave in our lives!

[@MixMasterMark]

Dave. We all need a Dave in our lives. Gimme a cuddle mate :)

[@d3wd32]

Dave is a legend - kind & clever

[@ImTheClay]

If I didn't know any better, I'd say you guys are preparing for a 24 hours of lemons race like we have here in the States. That car really fits that character. Love it, and have fun.

[@JimOHalloran]

Yeah, we have various endurance lemon races over here. I'm pretty sure that's where it's going too. Although, I am keen on the theory that was kicked around in comments one of the previous videos, that this is the new Top Gear Australia "star in a reasonably priced car" vehicle!

[@Eva.Aurora]

Yeah that's exactly what I thought on the first episode with it, it definitely has a 24hr lemons vibe to it

[@unahaclosp]

Deputy 4 hour series running at Pheasant Wood for this sort of thing. Needs a cage though.

[@sherrattpemberton6089]

that suspicion just came to me this episode as well

[@SergiosKolios]

Dave is soothing like the autumn rain, as trustworthy as a 90's Toyota or a Nokia 3310, Cooler than Ice-T. Dave's the guy you enjoy chugging lemon-squashes with and banter around a BBQ! Dave is an utter legend!

[@romeoandjulification]

Love you Dave! Much respect to you and your skills! Thanks for being part of the show!

[@BarrelBros]

Dave is a certified legend and an absolutely top bloke!

[@Blackinterceptor999]

Dave is a very tall substantial human being with an equally large smile...all the good things about Dave is just so much that it could be it's own video.

[@Merjia]

Bloody love Dave. What a great guy! He works absolute magic. And I love when he loses his shit at Moog’s jokes 😂

[@scottrussell3862]

Dave, the man, the myth...... The leg-end. Serious one smart cookie and love learning from his work.

[@Pantera_NP]

Scrap to Track should be a car KZbinr competition 😊 (yes, i saw that there’s a build series of the same name but it’s been some years)

[@samdowdall5232]

Kindness is such a bloody amazing show of strength, Also the brothers sharing love is SO BLOODY REFRESHING. Mighty Mods, you're the change we love to see in masculine spaces, Men sharing vulnerability and making safety for our emotions is a cultural shift that helps keep us mentally healthy!

Dave is in fact a legend.

Dave is great! The man is dedicated, cool, calm and know what he’s doing :)

this wiring is very easy with Dave, remember and remind us to never stop learn and improving memory

[@basithph8958]

Man that iPad Mini on that windshield mount takes me back to the days when you retrofitted an iPad yes a whole iPad into the dash of an Outback this episode just feels so nostalgic especially with the Daihatsu

[@smoothwalrus9354]

How good is Dave? Dave is kind, clever, and more :) thanks for being awesome, Dave!

[@johnniestofdoes]

Certainly has a good human vibe in the way he holds himself and speaks to everyone. Well done Dave

[@stephencurry8552]

Oh I once had my own Dave many years ago. His electrical work for me on my cars was awesome. Always appreciate your Dave.

[@gordontucker2483]

We love Dave.

[@tieskuijpers4734]

Dave is a god send, the world is a much better place with people like Dave in it 😊

[@b3nny90]

I love the way Dave just brings wiring and electronics down to a level where normal people can understand them. Makes things less scary.

[@elliottjohnson9926]

I want to see a MCM secondary team vs MCM primary team build off. Scott, Al, and Dave vs Marty and Moog!

[@OAPMrTickle]

Dave and Scottie both come across as kind and Gentlemen. I'd like mates like them.

[@jrbuch]

I say it in every video. Isn't Dave a legend? He's always smiling even when you present him with cars he'd probably rather not work on.

[@RBGgermanKX250F]

Dave is an absolute legend. Such a smart and kind person

[@ericprice3225]

I am thinking you take it to Japan to race against those other small cars you featured a couple of years ago or maybe some endurance racing… 24 Hours of Lemons or something like that.

[@qtee93]

Dave is such a great guy, deserves all the recognition. 🥰

[@jamescampbell6954]

Dave is more popular than the build. Dave is a legend. Give the people more of what they want. More Dave!

Imagine having a car built to honour your favourite KZbin channel, than they buy it from you and make it a project!

[@Frost_Saber]

Then they fix it because it was a massive pile a trash.

[@LobbyDaLobster]

Dave is patient, Dave is kind. Dave does not envy, he does not boast, he is not proud. Dave does not dishonor others, he is not self-seeking, he is not easily angered. Dave does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Dave always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Dave is Awesome. Dave is a legend.

[@alfredgravy6375]

It is written in the book of Dave

[@brianlawler3660]

Loved the look of pure joy on Moog's face when Marty said Daihatsu means "break the dyno." I think watching Dave help MCM so much over the years inspired me to say yes when my friend asked me to help him wire an engine swap and interior upgrades. So glad he continues to share knowledge with us DIY crowd

[@jamiedufrayer5461]

Love you guys too! 😁❤️ Wish my mates were as helpful, had to change the disks and pads on my miata on my own in the rain last weekend 😂😂

Dave is a legend...... But so are you and Marty! You and the guys you get in on the channel are just excellent, and promote this accepting culture of your brilliant channel. Keep up the good work from an original viewer. 💪

[@MartinIbert]

Dave is wearing a wedding band. Do you expect him to admit to knowing which way you swipe on Tinder? Probably he genuinely doesn't (I don't either), but even if he does, he will not admit it.

Yes, Dave and Scotty are such great people. Even if I don't KNOW them... I enjoy watching videos containing their content.

Getting my first MCM merch this Dec couldn’t be more stoked on a piece of clothing! you guys are legends!

[@Royy503]

+1 for seeing dave explain things and pull faces at moogs sense of humour

[@TishaHayes]

One of the disadvantages of stacking a bunch of thread adapters on to a temperature sensor is that the value will 'lag' what is actually happening. Keeping the sensor face closest to the flow of the fluid is pretty important.

[@chadroy16]

Dave is both awesome and a legend. he is also nice and clever. what a guy.

[@ProjectPi]

Well I've been strangely overexcited for the next episode of this project car! 💪😎🤘🔥🔥🔥

[@andyguest6543]

I just want to say MCM has by far the best music from all of the KZbin I have ever watched. I know you guys are superstar musicians but it is awesome

[@CriticoolHit]

I love that this engine was fully refreshed. I dream of doing this if I had infinite money. Engines no one loves are engines because they were designed to be absolute forever machines. The fact we aren't paying more attention to "boring commuters" is a crime. There's so many thrashable platforms out there and because they don't have internet clout they don't get no love. Well this one got love and I love that.

[@MatthewHeiskell]

Dave is a great teacher too!

[@user-oy3zq8yh9h]

Dave has a kindness, the most important thing in human, for me. Be happy, Dave!

[@letsgoenduro]

I have never owned a Daihatsu.... So I can't relate to this build.... but I friggin love it! My first car was a 400 dollar nugget and I loved it with a passion. Throw all the time, money and love you can at it and make it the greatest nugget ever built!
