My 92 Year Old Grandfather Reacts To My 845HP Turbo LS VF Commodore

[@_Bags]

I love the fact that you respected his boundaries and condition and didn't try to scare the shit out of him just for a video. Very heart warming. I hope my grandkids do this for me when I am old.

[@williamrobere]

I don't know exactly why KZbin recommended this to me, but, I'm grateful I was able to see this video. Thanks to you, your family, and especially your grandparents. Its good to see them interested in your hobbies!

love the way you gently introduced him to your beast of a machine! his smile said it all. great vid!

Hiii Darren! Hope you're doin alright.

[@BIGPOG]

me just cruise through KZbin watching some 90 plus year old loving a hotted up car and stumble upon funny uber rides lol hey darren.

[@MisterAjxr6]

the smile on his face is priceless and thats what life is all about

[@MetalSnakers]

Love it. Not overdoing it, just giving him a little bit of a thrill. Bet it made his week. Beautiful family mate, love the car too. 92 and he's still the best dressed bloke in the car as well haha up ya game lads! He's looking mighty dapper!

[@richardrussell4065]

He's dressed like an old man 😆

[@MetalSnakers]

@Richard Russell well his pants look freshly ironed. And with the jumper/shirt combo, change the style of the jumper, and his outfit would be acceptable for working in most small-medium offices. A hoodie wouldn't get you past reception if you worked there hahaha

That gentlemans face lit up like a 7 year old kid every time you gave it a little throttle. Just proof that the feeling never leaves you. Wonderful to watch.. And what a lovely family.. 😊 Happy Christmas from Ireland.

I reckon full boost flat out and grandad would of been cool as a cucumber . What a legend grandad is and what a build. That's a moment for you to cherish. Absolutely beautiful

[@danielsaleh4632]

Honestly Andy I never ever leave comments on videos and I'm a KZbin premium vet, about 8 years daily watching KZbin, mate your car is fucking amazing you're much younger than me (43). Like Pop said to you he's proud of you, and you should be brother what an amazing inspirational masterpiece you have created. love your work mate.

[@angus3540]

I love how appreciative old people are. They could just sit there watching you do literally anything and absolutely love it. And their old terminology too 🤣 I noticed that your Grandfather says "motorcar", and it reminds me of my 90 year old Grandad. Boy they have seen some things in their time havent they

[@thompson5272]

ole fella loves it! still young at heart

[@davidkeizer9381]

I really enjoyed watching your video it moved me! I live in the US but I have a 2017 SS that has been returned to Holden emblems and a Magnuson supercharger. I would have loved to give my Gearhead father a ride in it but he had a stroke and the Last 5 Years of his life he had dementia and would not have anything to do with me because he thought that I stole his driver's license... RIP Dad and Holden! 🙏😥

[@glumpy1024]

Reminds me of when I used to take my Uncle Jack for rides in my V8 Commie. Nothing like this one but also nothing like my uncle could ever Imagine. He had a stroke and had to stop driving decades before hand and most the time only owned his builders trucks. I remember there was this very steep hill near his place he had gone up 1000 Times in his various Vehicles. He was amazed I could just drive up it with no effort. Went back down and gave the thing a squirt and he couldn't stop laughing and saying it was the most amazing thing he'd ever seen. I'd take him for drives every time I went to Visit. My Aunt would say " take it easy, he has a bad ticker, I don't want him getting excited". When we got in the car He'd say " I'm living on borrowed time , I could have a heart attack in bed and not wake up tomorrow, I want to live while I can. Don't listen to your aunt, she is going to kill me of boredom. " It was pretty funny to go laying rubber off the lights with a very senior and frail looking man sitting beside me but he loved every minute of it. He just couldn't get over how it would pin him back in the seat and go round corners so different to anything he had ever owned or been in before and would always talk about the feeling of it. My Aunt got a bit mad with me once before we went out saying " Don't you kill him getting him overly excited. It takes me a week to calm him down after you take him out." He turned and said " You Silly bugger, he gives me something to live for and makes me feel alive. " I miss him a lot.

[@brettstuchbery1672]

Awesome stuff, cherish those memories. I got to take my father when he was 80 before he passed for a spin in my blown VF that makes 730rwhp and he gave me the green light for a "quick" 5 second pull to feel the power..... he wasn't ready.... haha

[@IronLungProductionsOfficial]

I love that you take the time to show your grandpa your hobbies!

[@seventrumpets6465]

The smile on your grandfather's face when you opened her up was heart-warming... its proof that us blokes will grow old but never grow up.

[@r.mhaych5021]

Grandad so proud man! My LoLo passed away 6 weeks ago and I miss him so much he’s the reason why I love cars so much he was a top mechanic in Philippines for 20 years til he moved to Australia. This video makes me smile that u got to take ur pop in the car you built. Never got to take my LoLo in my 700hp xr6t Ute that I built (learnt most from him too)

[@OG_NOMAD]

Reminds me of my grandfather bless him. Loves his holdens he owned a VT Calais but sold it when he moved houses wish he kept it! Last of the old school those fellas cherish him mate

[@brentonl1746]

They say nothing can excite a 92 year old I beg to differ. That smile on his face, priceless.

[@mwboost]

😅Awesome👍🏼. They never really lose a spark for cars lol. My 94yo pop still drives around in his series 2 VF LS3 V8 calais. He also just picked up a new Mazda MX5 😅. Recently restored and sold two MG's as well.

[@EddieFly00]

You’re a really great grandson. Massive respect.

[@tylerwiltse1268]

happy new years guys. i didnt realise i needed to see another old man enjoy some good old muscle car engine. once he opened up the exaust his mouth went considerably wider.

[@TinShed]

Makes me miss the fact my grandpa passed away before I reached the ability to do this with him. He loved cars and wanted to be a mechanic after WW2. You got a special bond my friend :)

[@wagypsy]

His smile was the best part of this video!! And the pride shown in the workmanship. Amazing car mate. Well. Done!

[@lesco_brandon7094]

the smile on the old fellas face says it all, he has a wealth of knowledge and understand of it all but it's years of engineering that he hasn't seen! top vid!

[@The_Cat_Authority]

Your grandpa really loved hearing that blow off valve! You are awesome!! You have earned my sub. Cant wait to see more of this commodore or whatever else you get into!!

[@4kays160]

Seeing his face light up just as it hit boost brings back memories.. you know that feeling when you play the boost so you feel like your floating.. theres nothing that makes me smile like that feeling..

[@gman7949]

See the smile on your grandfather's face. I think he loved it.

I never had a grandad, he died when I was maybe 2-3 but this made my insides feel so happy and gitty. So wholesome mate absolutely made my day ❤️

[@evolveausevolveaus]

brought tears to my eyes lad, you are very lucky to still have him

[@evolveausevolveaus]

Seeing his smile when you give it a squirt was gold.

[@glumpy1024]

The take away for me with this vid is I see a grandson that loves his grandad and a grandfather that feels the same about his grandson and is very proud of him. Brilliant.

[@dgill4x4]

Beautiful Commodore and what an awesome Grandfather!

[@pablowvangreenlow7430]

Like the guy said below KZbin threw this up to me and I'm glad I watched . My Grandparents were my hero's and seeing you with yours brings back wonderful memories and in fact your grandparents remind me of mine. I remember one day my 75 year old grandpa got in for a ride in my mate's HQ GTS with a big block and he loved it! You've got a lovely family mate enjoy them every chance you get. Merry Christmas.

[@dylanfosterphotography6985]

this reminds me so much about my grandfather when i brought my cammed vy sv8 and took it to show him when he had dimentia and alziemers. the nursing home wasnt too happy about me taking him out because of their policy but i said get stuffed its my grandfather ill do what i want try and stop me. I took him around the streets not too far from the home gave a few squirts of half throttle to the speed limit and it put the biggest smile on his face, when I was just about to pull back in after the 15 minute drive he said lets go up there and burn some rubber :) back in his day he always had the top of the range V8s but he wanted to smell some smoke and there was a huge pavement area that looked like an old carpark and i said sorry because of there being a police station literally 30 seconds away he was 89 i think . he said it was okay but everytime i seen him he asked about it how many tyres ive gone through how many tickets haha but unfortunatley 2 to nearly 3 weeks after that drive he passed away. sometimes i do wish i did do a small burnout to make that day even better.. whole family are speed freaks even my grandmother and shes 87 but if she asks for it im gonna do it that way i dont kick myself. was an awesome video you did man that made it feel so personal. keep up the good content

Firstly, the car is art!! Second, you spoke to your grandfather like anyone in his position, picking up on the things he knows, listening when you spoke, so to relate as men. Third, you introduced the performance at the level deserved of such a man and I say this with the experience of having a similar arvo with my mother but I was thinking only of myself and the pleasure that I was giving my mother that I thought had to include a demo of the 600HP at my disposal.........WRONG!!!! SCREAMED at the top of her lungs and scolded me so from me, for what it's worth A1 job all round by all ✅💯🍵☺️
