I am almost 80 years old and have had nothing but satisfaction from my subscription to your channel. Naturally, I grew up when these vehicles were new and so many of us aspired to own one or two of them. This is like a master mechanics class it is what is now needed to keep these machines on the road and looking their best.

[@klwthe3rd]

Well said! Amazingly great comment.

[@classic.obsession]

Thankyou James!

[@rogerpritchard]

I agree with your comments, super channel.

[@johnmontague4245]

Super comment, and so very true. Well said sir.

[@wolfganghobelsberger6720]

No apologies required. Every episode is a delight to watch, regardless which car is in the focus. Please keep it up.

[@classic.obsession]

Thanks Wolfgang!

Please don't apologise for the content it's all brilliant my favorite U tube channel. Thank you as usual.

[@classic.obsession]

I appreciate that!

[@TwizyMan]

Don't apologise, your videos are so interesting to watch. I can only admire the level of skill that you have and your determination to tackle very complex tasks and share your journey in bringing these wonderful cars back to life.

[@gregorcameron8638]

What a treat - no apologies required, just love all the content ! Thank you 🙏🏼

Appreciate it Greg!

Pleasure to watch a methodical craftsman at work.

You’re a man in a good state of fitness, the way you move around. It’s not a miracle, but disciplined living.

[@classic.obsession]

Appreciated!

[@LiquidAudio]

You're doing a great job with the channel Gary, great content, no apologies needed!

[@markmackenzie2533]

Don't apologize for the varied content. It's all interesting and entertaining. What's more it gives us all confidence to try more complex repairs ourselves and succeed in our efforts. Greetings from Australia. The only warning I would give that you is never tighten wheel nuts by machine, always do it by hand and feel. Regards.

[@GT380man]

Agreed, and I don’t own those air tools. They encourage brute force. Also, I always go round any car new to my wife or daughters & check that they can use the onboard Jack & loosen / tighten all the wheel bolts. In practise, they’ll probably never need to change a wheel “in anger”, but we all like knowing they could.

[@jonnny1]

Always a good watch Gary. You can't buy the sort of experience that you have! Keep up the good work.

[@timbullough3513]

Love the right proper approach to everything. Its the 180 degree difference to Video Bob.

[@simcamarmon7302]

Out with the old in with the new, I love that, reminds me of my dad, he used to say that, mind he was an antique dealer, didn't do very well 😢

[@steelcityporsche]

Keep em coming Gary 👍👍 can’t wait to see the 928 finished

[@classic.obsession]

Me too. Regards

[@neilferrier4288]

I think its great to see the different cars and not just a start to finish on one car, shows that you still have them and reminds us that there is always work to be done to keep them on the road. I am a Rolls Royce fan but enjoy the episodes on all the cars.

[@philtaylor5053]

Always enjoy watching Gary Bouffant's videos 🙂

[@klwthe3rd]

I always like when Gary's friends stop by during the videos to lend a helping hand towards the cars and bring fond memories of the good ole days. I'm glad to see that the Porsche and Lotus project are being resurrected so that Tom will be able to see them again soon. We all know that's the episode NOT to miss. Money has it, he'll be brought to happy tears! 😂

[@spencerbrowning4126]

Nikita is coming along nicely Gary,it’s gonna look lovely when it’s done. I just think the bright red shouts 80’s affluence !

[@classic.obsession]

I think the reds tacky. But some people like it. It was originally willow gold as was my black one, which also isn’t a great colour for these cars but very popular in the 70’s. Regards

[@markhammond6420]

I’m a retired industrial engineer and I love your videos. Please keep doing them.

No apologies necessary...love this channel and the diverse cars as well as insights into all the systems and resto tips, etc. Thank you!

[@peterjones2845]

Just keep doing what you are doing, my brother in law had a 928 local to you at the shops , loved it , he also then bought a RR.

[@markclifton14]

The rolls Royce is coming back to life now. Be nice to see the Porsche get finished. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ThyDEMARCK]

If the jobs are almost the same,it must be so pleasant to work on a ROLLS ROYCE. You are lucky,and deserve it. Bravo and thank you for your advices.

[@markw4263]

Gary - 1) don’t worry about the “eclectic” collection; that does really keep it interesting. 2) The thoroughness of your repairs reminds me of the time I spent with my dad when I was younger; back in the days when you could fix things yourself. He’s gone now but the memories still linger (though he did finally give up when fuel injection replaced carb’s). If you’re ever in California wine country and I see you off on the side of the road, I’ll stop and we can taste wine while we wait for the tow truck.

[@classic.obsession]

That lad and dad thing is sadly gone now. Shame modern cars need specialists with computers. Regards

[@joebarrow6577]

Great stuff Gary - now get that Barnet sorted lad.

Another cracking episode Gary, thank you...and in answer to your question at 5:37 - yes, you do have to do it properly! Keep the impeccable content coming. Love it!

[@johnmontague4245]

Hi Gary, I wrote to you last month explaining how much I enjoyed your channel, and how it brought back memories of me and my old man working on cars back in the day. Now that he’s no longer around these memories are so precious. You very kindly replied ( much to my surprise ) and having watched this episode I had to write to you again to tell you how much I’ve come to enjoy your content and your precise and patient method of working. No apologies from you are required for any aspect of the channel. The content and overall production is first class. It is by far the best classic car channel on KZbin. Please continue making these programmes . All the best to you.

All good Gary, enjoying the journey with you. Cheers!

[@geoffnoyes520]

Very satisfying to see a car mechanic paying great attention to cleaning and detailing as he goes, so things aren't just working as well as possible but look as clean and new as possible. Well done, a very intreresting video. (From Geoff, in Fielding in New Zealand.)

[@classic.obsession]

All the best Geoff!

[@Touringtim]

This is the only car content channel I watch; brilliant. Gary is a superb presenter and content maker.

[@marcvandebrul5414]

I am looking forward to the t-belts from the Porsche. Just keep going. From a motorcycle enthousiast from Belgium.

[@jbtc-zn9ih]

Gary hat genau die richtige Einstellung zu seinen Fahrzeugen. Technisch muss alles in Ordnung sein, aber optisch braucht nicht alles dem Neuzustand zu entsprechen. Gary ist schon aufgrund seiner Stimme sehr entspannend, eben ein Profi. Und dann die für mich ironische Musikuntermalung. Ich freue mich auf jeden seiner Beiträge. Es sieht bei ihm alles so einfach aus, aber das ist es oft nicht. Schraube selbst seit 45 Jahren an MG's, seit 40 Jahren an meinem 49er MG TC und ich weis, dass es oft anders läuft als man es sich wünscht. Gary's Arbeit an den Fahrzeugen und die tolle Präsentation im Internet hat das hundertfache an Abonnenten verdient. Viele Grüße ins Vereinigte Königreich aus Deutschland!

[@classic.obsession]

Thankyou!

[@stigotron]

I eagerly await your new episodes. Your attention to detail and hard work is exemplary. Thank you so much for all you do here.

I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos. I have a 2001 Mercedes CLK320. I know how rewarding as well as frustrating it can be working on cars. Thanks Gary !

I had a new clk cabriolet 320. Azurite blue with mushroom leather. Great car! Lovely engine. Regards

the wincing... the grimacing... " Don't break it, don't break it, DON'T BREAK IT! AND HOLD IN YOUR FARTS!!!".... god that 928 GT is a beauty. one popped up here near by, a 91 GT but with a black interior going for almost 75 Grand Canadian...
