Spend the day with Videobob! | Vegas Rolls-Royce Rescue | Classic Obsession | Episode 63

[@spencerbrowning4126]

You are now one of the leading authorities on restoring the Corniche, you could make his car look like new , no problem at all just like you’ve done with yours. Great viewing Gary, keep them coming !

[@classic.obsession]

Thanks Spence!

[@powerglory4022]

Sharing knowledge is what the classic car scene is all about. We’re all in it together.

[@classic.obsession]

Absolutely. Spread the word and help each other out. But for some selfish people knowledge is power! Regards

[@grayfool]

Great to see two such opposite characters get on so well. Both of you guys are great to watch for completely different reasons.

[@dmorga1]

Gary, I didn't know you were so funny. That deadpan "we"? I fell out of my chair. You two are actually very funny together. He's clearly aiming to do things as halfway as possible. He is, in this respect, the anti-Gary. I think y'all recreated the Odd Couple here. I would pay for a whole series.

[@happyhermit2022]

True

[@brianhepke7182]

Love the way that Bob recognised one of our traditional dishes to persuade Gary to stay.. "beans on toast", how could he resist such an offer?

[@vl2230]

Great episode with Bob.

[@classic.obsession]

Many thanks

[@kevinwilliams8951]

I always enjoy watching you and I'm glad you cane to vegas to meet Bob, I also own a 77' convertible corniche here in Vegas. I keep saying I would like to create a youtube channel if only I had the time. I also have 3 other RR projects, anyway I'm enjoying you and Bob thank you both

[@RobertMoseley]

We should meet up sometime!

[@klwthe3rd]

I had to chime in since i watched both this episode and Video Bob's on his channel. There is a HUGE difference between these two men. Gary is a true gentleman who has vast amounts of knowledge about the restoration of these fine automobiles. Bob is just a wealthy man who is looking for help to fix another one of his cars in his collection. Gary was trying to give Bob valuable information only to have Bob interrupt him repeatedly which shows he is NOT listening. He just wants Gary to do all the work but doesn't want to learn anything about the procedure. Honestly, Gary was much more of a true professional that i would have been if i was in his shoes.

[@TILTHENEXTTIME]

I follow Bob, he's very entertaining! Great videos, Gary.

[@classic.obsession]

Thanks 👍

[@keithdaryl1501]

This episode was a joy to watch. So entertaining, perfect knowledge, totally impressive filming & production.

[@coddiwomplecolster7329]

Naturally, as an English man, I baulked at Bob's vision of the Rolls Royce. But, it is his car and his dream. I'm pleased to see that Gary also shared a similar sentiment.

[@klwthe3rd]

Bob is NOT a true Roll Royce enthusiast. He's just a rich man who wants others to do his work for him. It was so obvious to me in this video that Bob had no real respect for Gary's knowledge and just wanted him there to do all his work for him.

[@coddiwomplecolster7329]

@@klwthe3rd Having watched a few follow-up videos from Bob, I must agree with you.

[@mariodagenais6625]

Gary, this was a very good video. Cause you made him talk about his life on things he never talked about. Honestly, you are a very good interviewer. Congrats and I hope to see more of you two together even if you come from two different world. That’s what makes the beauty of the film 😊 By the way, I love your British accent so much !!!

...'The Silver Shadow Drophead Coupé was Caine’s first car. Legend has it that he walked into the Jack Barclay showroom on Berkeley Square with a handwritten shopping list which read: ‘milk, bread, newspaper, cigarettes, Rolls-Royce’'... There's more to the story but thought Bob would like that!

[@classic.obsession]

True. The guy turned him away thinking he was a broke time waster so he went and bought one at the next showroom, returned in it to Jack Barclay and put two fingers up to the gutted snobby salesman. Regards.

Bob is the kind of guy dodgy garage owners dream off, a bit of money, lack of patience, low skills and a half decent motor that needs work. I hope you told him to get the white car away from the goons telling him petrol was water. I enjoyed the film and think Bob wanted your help, but was too proud to ask directly. When the Porsche is finally finished why not get involved in this one, you could do it standing on your head and do a very nice man a great favour in the process. By the way I am the guy I described up top, still cannot find a garage to define what's wrong with my R129 roof, but all want to charge me to educate themselves! Looks like I will be in the CLS at the Lygon in a few weeks! Oh well the weather is hardly convertible weather over here!
