Hey! Thanks for watching! We're glad you're enjoying the video and we're looking forward to releasing the rest of the content we filmed during this trip. We'd like to apologize for the "yups" and "yeahs," our excitement got the better of us and we promise to refrain from such comments in the future. Also, to understand why Ben had to step away at 59:41, be sure to tune into Tuesday's video where Bruce will be driving one of his creations - our 400hp 1983 911 Targa!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Here is our video with Bruce in the 83 Targa! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnOXppd7q7ukgrs

[@gregoryfranks7347]

You need to speak ebonics and I wouldn't care you are some of the first people that have really ever wanted to look at the coolest cars there the 962 is theSchuppan , the hands down best sports cars in the world. RUF AUTOMOBILE. They were able to do something that will never happen again and can never be compared to anything else very similar to a 959 SC. The dollar amount in value of all the automobiles at this shop I don't think can be estimated easy over a billion for their cars that are so one off and so rare and so exclusive and have such Nostalgia and prominence that money figures can't be assessed to them that says everything anyone should need to know Bruce and his employees/family. Just mind blowing my melting inconceivable

[@gregoryfranks7347]

I could put a cot in there and never learn I tenth of what the level and history that is inside this amazing place . OUTSTANDING VIDEO. BY FAR THE BEST OF THE 50+ VIDEO MR. BRUCE WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO SHARE WITH US. I CANT WAIT TILL THE NEXT ONE. IM LITERALLY TINGLING WITH ANTICIPATION 🎉 AGAIN THE MOST SINCERE THANKS TO BRUCE AND THE MUSEUM COMING AND MAKING THIS UNBELIEVABLE CONTENT. I WIL WEAR THIS VIDEO WATCHING IT SO MAN TIMES. cheers

It was amazing to spend an extended period of time with Bruce. The amount of knowledge that he has is staggering!

[@stephencurry8552]

You appear to be easily impressed. Can he weld Tig or Mig? Can he program a five-axis CNC? All manner of people know all sorts of stats about cars. Big whoop.

Love the content that the Audrain puts out for us enthusiasts. Never gets old getting a inside look at Bruce’s shop. The ultimate in perfection!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you for the support!

[@donaldklapproth8091]

As an owners son of 16 back in 1959 , my father bought a 356 Cabriolet 1600. In the eastern US, there weren't many Porsche's seen on the streets. I owned a 1957 Ford Skyliner, so when I first drove the superb handling Porsche I couldn't believe it's cornering abilities. Porsche's is still at my 81 years of age today will always be my very favorite best handling car ever driven. What a remarkable operation this wonderful perfectionist has built and runs the same way. I've saved your wonderful, precise, and intimate coverage of this REAL PORSCHELover, and obvious #1 restorer- improver of so many eonderful classics!!! 👍 👍

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

What a great man, shop and video. Just finished watching it a second time!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you so much for the support, Larry!

[@donjuan150]

His upgraded 959's don't get the credit they deserve. Seems all the attention goes to Singer. 959's just look like sculpture. Great shop walk through!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thanks for watching, we couldn't agree more!

[@briankearn6991]

959 Sport Canepa is approved by Porsche.

[@edwardestrella3872]

Bruce Canepa is my new hero, those beautiful 959s are amazing, and his work and attention to every detail are spectacular. His upgrades on the engines, suspension, paint and body, etc, are phenomenal, to say the least...I loved this video from the Audrain Museum, you have got to do a part 2 and so on here, great video guys!

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thank you very much for the support. Tomorrow, a video of Bruce and Ben will go live where they drive our 1983 Targa built by Canepa!

[@99skychief]

I am appreciated with your youtube site and especially this interview. One thing that you may take to heart, in the future you don't need to keep responding with "Yup" after every sentence from Bruce...just mentioning.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thanks for watching our videos, it's been addressed

[@anthonygambitta6220]

Great work Mr. Jimmy Buffet, oh I meant Mr. Canepa Margaritaville. Nice cars.

[@tampapete7954]

Please hold back on the endless stream of "YUP"....."YUP"..........."YA" ....."RIGHT".....it's a nervous tick but if on camera, work on controlling it better as it cuts the guest off and makes great content difficult to watch. Nothing personal and love the content

[@BLKcat3001]

Annoying AF

Awesome shop tour! I was sitting up at Devil’s Playground in 2000 when Bruce ran his big rig up America’s Mountain. Absolutely BAD ASS! I’d love to see that again!

Love seeing Canepa but please inform the camera operator to SHOW THE CARS NOT ONLY THE PEOPLE. Such a rare look behind a place like that but only showed Bruce and the guys chatting. Let's point that camera inside and all around the cars would be amazing.

Great video! But the guys kept talking over Bruce the whole time. Please ask them to stop with the forced "yup" and "yea" banter.

I've tried to watch this a few times but the yup, yup, ok is to much! This is what happens when you get nepo kids involved!

Hi Steve, Ben and I both started working at the museum as volunteers several years ago and are now responsible for this KZbin channel amongst many other things in the organization. We love cars and sharing them with as many people as we can. Sometimes, someone as legendary as Bruce Canepa can take your breath away! Hopefully you can enjoy some of our past content and videos to come. - Antonio

[@bdkw1]

If you want to make big oly safe to drive, you need to fix the steering. It has horrible bump steer. It is the major contributing factor to it rolling. Put in 2 swingers and a center link so that you can have correct length and pivot points for the tie rods. No it's not original, but it's a race car, not a museum queen.

[@maxwellbricks7632]

Just imagine if you were lucky enough to be an apprentice working for Bruce.

[@r.p.3192]

Why are these guys talking in English? We are in Germany, right…? Mint floor, highly organised workshop, quiet, focused, controlfreakish, extremely knowledgeable, precision in mind… or is it a Rolex factory… nah, it’s a Patek-Philippe dealership, definitely! Swiss precision à la Canepa❤

[@gregoryfranks7347]

I didn't know there were 8 ruf 993 limiteds is that because dispute that you need a car was possibly a prototype? Please do a like a little review of that 993 drivetrain bus that to me is just the coolest thing. And these guys are obviously car guys too because they love the same cars I do like to shoot in the 962s the Ruf cars. There's no other shop in the world the bills the quality and level of cars that come out of the shop and it's just so utterly phenomenal I don't think there are words to describe it I think that Mr Bruce and his team are just the most outstanding fabricators in the world I'm still trying to figure out what that new CTR anniversary is in for my brother having an 18,000 me turbo guards red 993 I thought it was special put this type of place we just make me spontaneously human combust I've mentioned the only thing I'm really interested in is the turbo study that's 962 powered Speedster blew my mind when I was a kid I'm 50 and I still just in Blown at the level of just attention to detail in every single thing I've never seen a shop like it I pray that I'll get the stuff on that hologram one day and take a look. You are so generous and letting people come in and take a look at her shop to me that would be an utter dream come true singers are cool but I think the coolest thing about singer is that his brother is Rob Dickinson from Iron Maiden that way baby 512 oh my God I'm drooling. There is no place on earth like this nothing comes close I don't think the Porsche the factory or Museum comes close. Thank you so much for showing us some of the cars we don't get to see normally I can't express my gratitude and thank you but I really really want to know more about that T1 van. No disrespect to Rod but you do things like you does plus a thousand other type of cars. And the fact that you have the balls to race a real 956 962 at Monterey is just outstanding through you are my hero and of God😢

[@verdict1163]

I'm curious what engine is in that Gullwing.

[@iammaximus614]

… 👑 mindset

[@billlichirie14]

😁👍

[@wc1692]

Great video but no Ferrari should be mentioned or included. Especially since he passed a Boxer without mentioning.

[@craigyirush3492]

Porsche were always 10 or 20 years ahead of everyone else? What a risible thing to say. Compare a contemporary Porsche to a Mira, or a McLaren F1, both of which were way ahead technologically. Or a Lotus Elise with a 90s Boxster. Again, no comparison. Don’t get me wrong, Porsches are great cars to drive (I used to have an air cooled 911), and they’ve always gone racing, which I respect, but they’ve rarely been on the cutting edge of technology.

[@ozahmed4523]

Rich people.

[@Thedaleb1]

Nobody builds cars like me, I’ve never built a car, but if I did it would definitely be a one of a kind, like a dumpster fire you can drive

[@rollingpuck]

Fantastic content made unwatchable by all the 'yeps'. Did anyone watch this before it was published?

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Thanks for watching our video, we have addressed this. Please take a look at our channel, we have over 500 videos that are very enjoyable!

[@markstclair6426]

Brilliant video. I’m not a purist but I don’t agree with removing the little factory details off the 959s (repeaters, oil flaps etc). Seems pretty arrogant to me.

[@johna1160]

Arrogant? Or, Outlaw?

[@briankearn6991]

Porsche approved. 959 Sport Canepa

[@gregmcable]

Bruce Canepa call BS on insanely loud exhausts systems. 12hp difference with without muffler on 959. Hear that “influencers?”

[@1983dmd]

Sadly, Bruce Canepa is the guy who drives a Porsche 917 pure race car on the streets without any insurance....Also, a few years ago, I was ready to buy a car at asking price without any negociation but he suddenly raised the price because he said the market changed the day before ( !!!) because a similar car was offered for sale at RM Auction estimated at a higher price...Guess what, I walked away disgusted...and the car offered at RM sold for exactly the same price I offered....Buyers beware....Overinflated reputation...This guy is lucky to have made it the way he does business...BTW, Antonio and Ben are way too young for this kind of interview...It is obvious they don't know 75% of what Canepa is talking about...

[@nextechsolutions5955]

You guys have to go back.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Hopefully soon we will!

[@Dodek72]

need to stop saying yeah and just learn to listen :)

[@markbalean6199]

Love the cars, Bruce is a legend,but...get a new camera guy,this guy is on a different page then the narrators.

[@sweetwater2128]

shut up and let him speak LOL

[@MW-uy3np]

$20-$30g on things the client never knew he needed. Ouch

[@jameswalter3136]

Great video, but next time film more of the cars instead of the people talking, please.

[@stephen300o6]

Except, everyone is building them like this now.

[@billymania11]

It's all high-end automotive stuff. Nothing here for the common guy. Luckily we can afford to pick up newer automobiles that don't need refurbishment nor require a fortune to make right. It all evens out eventually. I tip my hat to the old Porsche guys but its all little too pretentious for me. I jump in my late model Mustang GT 6 speed and have my own brand of fun.

[@manuelgonzalez5508]

Camera guy😂

[@stephencurry8552]

None of the fit and finish and welding is impressive. Given the fact of what they are paid to produce the end product.

[@johndavey72]

Well if your not into Porsche , this is not for you ! 😅

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Even if there's no interest in Porsche, we could listen to Bruce talk about his passion all day!

[@stephencurry8552]

A great example of how the one per cent and above need to be taxed correctly. As it stands there are far too many pages of the sixteen feet of tax-code which advantage the wealthy. Will it affect a toy-shop like this? Not really. Though it would make a huge difference to the deficit that donald blew-up at an even greater rate than Reagan did.

[@marcosc7922]

Too bad your camera guys suck at showing the beutiful crafmenship of these historic cars. Love your work but, change camera crew. Shame😢

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

It's an active workshop with hands on cars. We respected the space and the vehicles that were being built. Thanks for your support!

[@SellerReports]

The constant "yep" AND "yeah" shows a massive lack of experience for being a presenter. You took what could have been an interesting deep dive into Canepa's operations into an annoying loop of "yeps" and "yeahs" - Learn to be quiet or ask better questions.

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

@@SellerReports Thanks for watching!

[@davidpease3158]

Agree...I could listen to Bruce only, you two added very little and should have been fixed in editing. And work on camera angles, you missed so much content...or are in the shot too much.edit, edit, edit!

[@thepaulsantos]

Great video and interview, but Ben's nervous laiden constant, yeah, yeah, yeah, yup, yup, yup, or ya,ya,ya, and right, right, right is so distracting and ruins the interview. It also annoys the person you are interviewing. Here's a million viewer secret, ask a question and listen with your ears, not your mouth, and do not answer your own question by interrupting the person you are interviewing. Sorry not trying to be rude, but want this constructive advice to be taken seriously. Self-awareness in interviewing is what will define the amateur from the pro.

[@briankearn6991]

Get the camera closer to the cars, we don’t need to see or hear the hosts.
