Drove My Classic Car To America's WILDEST Hotel - Ending Our +1800 Mile Roadtrip

[@sardave]

Thanks for taking us all along with you on your great adventure…. ❤❤

[@davidparise4517]

Dany's explanation of the toilet and getting a power wash! was so hilarious! I laughed at that for 5 minutes after he explained it to you! That room was amazing! Love this channel!

[@johnnyringo4463]

The whole series was my favorite. Seeing you guys putting in all the work at the shop, which im sure its double or triple more work off camera. But then seeing you guys enjoy yourselves and kicking back some. Thank you for including and allowing us in on your roadtrip rally and shop life.

Man, my late father would have been over the moon about this Inn. He was an architect by trade, and funky building designs always hit his sweet spot. Myself, I get a strong Howard Hughes vibe from the whole property. Kinda like "short attention span meets mild schizophrenia," if you can follow my logic. As for my favorite bits, the racing segments are a given, but I was equally {ahem} gassed by all the wonderful scenery. For my money, the scenes of Mount Shasta top the list, followed closely by all the ocean views. That water's-edge motel y'all found reminded me strongly of the Edgewater Inn in Seattle. It's built on a pier over Elliot Bay, and you can fish from the balconies of each room. Oh yeah - the bait and tackle shop is right in back of the check in counter!! If you're into rock-n-roll history, the Edgewater was also the backdrop for Led Zeppelin's infamous "shark episode." Fun stuff, indeed!!!😎

[@jessicagreene1773]

I really enjoyed the in car camera when Olivia was racing. You could see the concentration in her eyes and got a feeling for being in the race.

[@renegadefan68]

I like all the Redwood rally videos. Hope to do this down the road. I love that you have a Pontiac. I had a 66 GTO and miss it. Just watching you drive it is the best.

[@richarddickson6208]

The scenery was my favorite part , the car getting a little squirrel was a good one

[@NetWit20]

I met a guy in his late 70s with a black '65 GTO at the HB Concourse two years ago. He'd just returned from a Drag n Drive from HB California to North Carolina. The Madonna Inn is my favorite hotel. My favorite part of the trip is seeing how well Big Wave did all the way up and back. Not just the racing, but the road trip that made up for the Mammoth trip.

[@cliffordkinnear9705]

I liked the episode when you two drove the Tempest to that fishing spot. The one you found by accident. John DeLorean wanted every customer to be able to take their Pontiac anywhere in the USA. My parents used to live in Anderson, CA a small town just south of Redding CA. I miss going out to see them, they are gone now, I miss them a lot. I liked all the videos, but I liked the fishing spot discovery the most.

[@Cstoreri]

Loved it all… thanks for taking us along !

[@Anthony-ue4zm]

Awesome the car made that trip. Proud of you for building that Engine.

[@garywilson12]

i think the best days video was this last one, cause everyone got to see the success you both had along with big way and it showed on your faces CONGRATS

[@dclipper8052]

InTOXicaaaaaaaa! Damn that car has good lines. I'd love to see you do a series on giving it a 60s era authentic single stage paint job and bringing it back to its original glory. I don't know if you can even get acrylic laquer in Cali but it'd be pretty boss if you could.

[@RPM-sr2gn]

What a cool hotel.I didn't know this was here out on the coast.Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@RPM-sr2gn]

You sent me an Email that I'm a lucky winner.What did I win!!!

[@DavidJones-hl5om]

My favorite time on your trip was Medford and. Coos Bay Oregon, my aunt, lived there. 1984 Madonna Inn, my wife and I Honey Mooned there for 1 night on our 2 week trip in a truck I built a 1968 F250 390 cu in. Automatic. Dolphin Camper 3000 miles. We called it the Jed Clampet Truck before Patina was in vouge 😂😂😂

[@popatop6657]

Great trip and I like the ride, wouldn't even paint it! I left Kansas on my 20th birthday in 84 and headed for California on a 2 week 3400 mile motorcycle trip an ended up in the Sequoia national Forest. This was one of my most treasured trips and I often think of loading up the Hot Rod, The Wife and going back. Once again thank you guys for sharing. My favorite part is your positive attitudes through the whole trip, I wish I was more like you.

[@brianrichardson7946]

Super cool event and she looked great and ran great all week and big thanks to you two for taking all of us along for the ride with you. Looking forward to seeing what you do to the charger

[@chidrole]

All videos were my favourite! 👍🇨🇦

[@cliffordkinnear9705]

Olivia you did a great job fixing the LS engine. It's now very reliable and powerful! I prefer cars that are grand touring cars but can also go to the drag strip. Next! on to the Charger!!!

[@dennismundie4290]

I have really enjoyed y’all taking us along on the rally. I’m 74 and so wish I had been able to do and see everything y’all are doing…oh wait I have thru your video. Thanks so much for having me along. God Bless!

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thank you so much for watching Dennis.

[@user-uv7rl3yg2b]

We normally wait until Saturday mornings to enjoy our gnarly speed shop hour, we just watched the last 3 episodes of the trip mid week. Thank you from the Uk on a great adventure, sharing the experience was priceless. There wasn’t one bit, the whole trip was fab😊

[@garrettfrancis1429]

The whole trip was very cool, but the cool moment was the great save when your car got a little catiwompa on the drag strip.

[@nathanlapp2244]

Great videos! I followed your exploits daily. My favorite moment was when you were racing and you saved your car when it got loose on the slick track. Driving one of my cars on a drag-n-drive event is a bucket list item of mine.

[@TheHord]

That roach on the dash, 😂. Madonna Inn, awesome, but Floral Fantasy 😂, that is an eyeful but very unique. I know Olivia was in Heaven... Danny... "that's nice" and I lost it at the toilet comment, "it pressure washes your butt hole" 😂😂😂. Favorite part of the trip... that's tough, and I think the whole package, the drive, scenery, fun times, dedication, the drag racing, the cars and collaboration and the wildlife was awesome to see too, thank you for sharing this. You guys deserve a fun night of relaxation and celebration after the busy week. 🍻

[@rosaliecruz4304]

Congratulations!!!! Well done. Favorite part for me was your last run. The expression on your face, I could feel the excitement in your voice, maybe holding back tears. Well done you two, well done.👏

[@michaelowens944]

Olivia gets to show her girlie side she is so sweet.

[@Bradsroad]

Narly trip!.....congrats on a fun week of driving and competing...love that it was able to make it all the way through and back home on its own.👍

[@diggindiggenit6540]

I watched every episode of the trip, have to say the cars were cool the race but danny's attempt to land that monster fish was very cool, perfect spot they just were not hitting that day

[@armondoborjas4362]

Good fun adventure . Thanks for sharing the different spots you stopped at were cool 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎

[@elwoodsummersjr596]

That was a great video, really enjoyed it , the in car camera when you were racing was the best, just seeing your beautiful eyes so focused on racing was great ❤❤

[@djrose3]

It was great seeing all the beautiful scenery and the beautiful cars! Thanks for taking us on your journey!

[@oz1141]

The Redwood Rally series was great. thanks for sharing.

[@bobtucker8875]

It's really hard to say what I enjoyed the most because it was all very entert ining. The car was even great 👍no break downs, simply enjoyable. Thanks for sharing guys ☺️.

[@ultra4suzukisamurai679]

I was driving alongside a cement truck on that bridge one time. It was so funny, his front tires were bouncing off the ground.

[@davejordan5848]

I hate to tell you, bit Big Wave was the star of the show 😊 And your entire journey! Yes the racing was great, well done, even better ET's & mph coming, for sure. ..congratulations!! But the routes you drove were totally amazing, both chosen by the organisers as well as the route back, both planned and spontaneous side trips, all terrific ❤ So the very best video was actually this last one, you're understanding the correct approach to travel now, especially in our beloved old ladies, fast though they may be. Winning starts at home in the workshop, to make these dreams come true. Full service. Well deserved. I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping this total experience has encouraged you to find more such similarly scenic rides we could drive and experience together. ❤❤ Postscript: May I be so bold as to suggest that, before you do your next long distance adventure you do at least 2 more upgrades 😊 1) Suspension with sufficient adjustability for both road & track 2) Either internally re-upholstered seats or bolstered memory foam overlays for the longer drives and even racing, maybe with pronounced neck support (I suspect you'd prefer to retain the period look & feel and not change the front seats). And a question if i may...have you considered matt clearcoating Big Wave to preserve the patina as is? Conclusion? Bless you and be safe, Your uncle Dave From South Africa 😊. Knock knock at the door. Dave? Dave's not here.

[@davejordan5848]

Did you or someone reply? Why can't I see it?

[@zman7953]

Completing the Rally with no issues was my favorite thing. Thanks for the hard work in making these video's. Congrats and Cheers U 2.

[@chukhentcy5642]

I have to say, Liv and Danny, I liked the whole series very much! And I'm so glad you guys finished the whole dang Ralley! Good Job! Too bad you guys didn't catch any fish though.

[@cliffordkinnear9705]

The Madonna Hotel is both unique and amazing! Wow!

[@Joshuamd131]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful trip with us. I enjoyed it very much. You guys are awesome 😎. I wish I could do a trip like that in my 72 Camaro. Take care and safe trip home. God bless.

[@willcardona119]

The videos were great. I enjoyed all the scenery and all the effort you put into the videos. I’ve been following you guys from the beginning. The Chanel has evolved nicely. Thanks for sharing.

[@Novaman66]

Practically living in a car for a week with all those adventures, the driving ,racing, and the excitement! You two are living La-Vida LOCA” !!! Loved sharing every minute with you guys,, The best was Danny getting drenched fishing!😂 And you really concentrating on your racing!!!🏁 Watched every one of the videos, it was almost like being with you guys, Thanks!😊

[@EricCH286]

I liked all of the cool people you met while racing, and Madonna Inn.

[@rodvaughan8628]

I enjoyed all of it. The ride,Liv racing, Dannys fishing and thecar was awesome. The only mountains i florida are garbage dumps.

[@richardmckaughan9701]

You need a same year El Camino as the Tempest and a donor Tempest front clip. Seen a Tempest-mino before, it was so cool.

[@calid6960]

Love the video content. The two of you are awesome together and you have some rad rides. And you live in cali,that's what's up. Keep doing what you're doing, it's great. Sincerely Derrick from northern California.

[@michaeldalzell6670]

Great event an excellent job on running a great race the whole time

[@gordonwalker8003]

Been enjoying that you guys out on vacation trip . The Pontiac has done. Great job guys 👍👍👀👀🍷👍

[@randyhoepker5528]

I enjoyed the scenery the most and going on the adventure with the two of you. The racing was OK too, but the whole point of the event was to have fun. We all had that!

[@maxmillion4216]

Better luck on the fishing next year. lol Glad you guys had a great time.

[@eric530]

Gotta love those rollers just after woodland. you guys went right past me...

[@ryanporras74]

Great videos guys. I followed your whole trip of Redwood Rally. You guys are a crack up and have a great time together. Great way to end the trip at The Madonna Inn. I’ve never been but will need to go as it looked wonderful. Haha the bridge between Woodland and Sac is crazy bumpy and glad to see you enjoyed lol. I was going to Redding for the last day but ended up canceling due to weather forecast. Glad you guys were able to finish up. Until next year!

[@dloneyv8]

Great coverage all week. Thanks for all your efforts! It was really entertaining. I especially appreciate seeing the coverage of our local hero Shayne in the 5.50/ 160+ Nova. Thanks again!

[@midnightgambler3718]

Way fun series!!

[@bradinch1563]

just seeing how happy you guys are, great week

[@KeithHoward-qw9nf]

Ok that was a beautiful ride! Enjoy your show and in the act of getting my 66 GTO convertible back on the road I think you would very much appreciate an old patina Hood from a 66 or 67 GTO. There's nothing cooler than looking over that hood scoop when you're driving enjoy your hot rod show and both the personalities that star in it! To further adventure

[@oldradioguy65]

Congrats on a job well done! Keep up the good work!

[@stevesmith2155]

Thanks for taking us with you.😊😊😊😊

[@michaelburpo221]

I am happy you two enjoyed yourself's

[@southbayhotrods3353]

I know that room is EXACTLY what you were expecting Danny. 😂 You’re a good man. We’ll have to meet up sometime for a cruise along PCH.

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Haha. Are you coming out to our car cruise on October 15?

[@jamesmallinger9555]

I Love ,old Pontiacs,I had a1973 GrandPrix 400 v8 and I spun a bearing, so I took a 350 from a 1977 Grand Lemons and swapped it out LoveJim J&R mobile service

[@GodisgoodLeoIneke]

Nice hotel and awesome adventure ❤✌️your car is beautiful 👌

[@cynthiaramp7440]

I liked all of them 🎉. Enjoy.

[@Slowride1369]

Mount Shasta always loved going there

[@dennisnbrown]

seriously, though Olivia and Danny this series was great. Good job on the Contant. I thoroughly enjoyed your version of the redwood rally after watching how good the tempest did I really wouldn’t change any thing about the car. Maybe throw a set of DOT rubber in the trunk for the track stuff and just drive it

[@frankc1430]

Must be from that great suspension that you have!

[@mmoats4294]

Enjoyed watching the trip. That room is a little cheesy for my taste. Glad you guys had a good time.

[@lawrencebrandt8448]

Danny me and 6 of my biker friends stayed there in the 80s we picked correct rooms and had a blast around the pool snd in the bar

[@terryeustice5399]

Now on to the Charger

[@gsmarcano]

He’s all about the floral thing I’m sure,…coolness.

[@oz1141]

[@Audische]

[@toddclark332]

[@michaelowens944]

Looking into Olivia's eyes while she is racing.

[@strassafrass1]

That is a 100% ANSI rated 15⁰ pressure washer if I've ever seen.

[@donsmith8614]

Loved the video, that night @ the Madonna Inn must of cost a pretty penny, food looked good, liv looked really good in the red bikini from the short video

[@jonvanburen6483]

[@roberthirshfield3571]

Very cool

Sunday October 15 near Mugu Rock at 9:00am. If you go to the channel and click the community tab, you'll see my post

[@duathlete827]

The hot tub eye candy was particularly nice lol. All the vids from the trip were excellent. Loved watching all the classics go down the strip. Wish more drag racing was still a quarter mile. Always wanted a 66 or 67 GTO. Always beyond my price range. I'd take a LeMans with a strong V8 like yours as well. Great body style.
