@Ratarossa, think Bendpak can hook you up with a lift?

[@anthonygibbo1881]

Scott I think I know who you might be talking about regarding the engine rebuild and there really is only one man for the job, I wonder if it's the same person I'm thinking, 🤔 😂.

[@ronniemeyhoff8306]

Uhh. A GTO projekt sounds like a great projekt, and cool content.

[@Reptile36]

Fantastic content, glad you're back. Completely off topic, what model of Ray-Bans are you wearing. Absolutely killer.

[@MasterSandman]

Glad to see you back on it, mate! 👍 Restore the 328 or go for the 288 GTO Tributo, would both be great content! Please leave the Ratarossa as is! Maybe make the fitment and the state of the interior perfect! How about making an aluminium (or fiberglass with aluminium coating, for optic purposes, ofcourse) custom hardtop with matching roof liner to put on it, so you're not just bound by the occasional sunny weather in Britain?

[@robertdavies922]

The comeback is always greater than the setback! Great to see you back!!

[@toddtempleton9321]

It is WILD to own multiple Ferraris and be a home renter! I'm also a renter , and my entire business depends on my landlord continuing to let me rent his property. Its a very insecure feeling. Good luck mang!!

[@ebbs0000]

Yer that's nuts I only own a bloody leasehold flat. But it's all I can afford but shit its way better than renting.

[@LOTPOR0402]

@@sys-administrator Oh come on the 512bb as it is is worth more than a decent house

[@kevparker4604]

This is my thoughts, sell a car or 2 and get on the property ladder with some decent life insurance… god forbid the worst happens and your kids don’t have a home.

[@MDW893]

@sys-administrator how exactly do you think he bought all the ferraris??? He had a job that paid for them all then started youtube stupid

[@moiluck]

Not my business, but if I was in your skin, I would be restoring the testarossa and selling it with one or two more of your ferraris and buying the right property for living in it with place enough for having your passion at home. You would be saving a lot of money every month with an absolute peace of mind. So after that you will be able to center on your awesome projects ahead. Good luck man.

[@adamweston4152]

I have to say that I agree with what you have said here, you have put your priorities before your dreams.

A new Ratarossa video? EXCELLENT!!! So good to have you back again Scott. I was beginning to worry about you. I'm really sorry to hear about all the problems you've been having, but so pleased you've managed to prioritise your family first and foremost, but then also find a way to maintain your Ferrari passion and keep to producing these fantastic videos. We love you, man! This is my favourite channel on KZbin by far, so I'm really looking forward to seeing your new content, as and when you release it 🙂

[@Ratarossa]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Sometimes we need a little reset and its so good to have great family, friends and in my case very loyal amazing followers. Back on it now and for sure the Ferrari passion is there more than ever right now !

[@51madmitch]

Nice to know you are still going, as I spent 21 years in the motor trade, two pieces of advice, only have two cars on the go for repairs, and have space around them to work, makes life so much easier, good luck with your future plans.

[@blairwilliams136]

Absolutely correct

[@OwenHilton-b3z]

Sorry to hear about your problems, Ratty. It’s good to see you back and I’m looking forward to many more videos.

[@pasquale78]

Hi Scott, thanks for the video. I was wondering when we would see an update. That being said, whatever you've got do deal with in your life. Most of us watching, will still be here enjoying the build content. I wish you all the best, cheers!!

[@Ratarossa]

Thanks so much

[@burntclutches]

No worries mate! Glad you're back and content to come, life is never static so you deal with it as it comes and if it makes any difference your channel is probably the only one I have the most anticipation for new episodes because I enjoy your content. Looking forward to the new adventures.

[@Ratarossa]

Thanks so much. Life has its ups and downs for everyone and Its having such great people around us that help lift us back up ... Im so lucky to have amazing followers as well who appreciate this

[@callyk5678]

I’m no KZbin expert but I’d put a pretty hefty bet that once the f40 re build kicks off your channel is going to explode! I’ve been a sub for ages and this channel is one to watch, just like Matt Armstrongs was. Great in front of the camera, knowledge off the chart on Ferraris and you come across as a great guy. Great things are coming! And I wish you all the success in the world!

[@jimhartland1939]

It's tough times were all going through fella .Hang on in as we're all in here with you

[@Ratarossa]

Thank you so much

[@readventurekids]

Please keep Ratarossa as it is. Keep it real and don't burden it with the weight of car snobbery.

[@notnoel8904]

Nothing more important than family. If you are plagued with obstacles and your family has your back, then keep on doing what you’re doing but now do it better. Between your family, good friends, and fans, we know you got this.

[@mrbeancounter90]

Scot, Your original Mondial restoration and the BBi find were small things that got me through the lockdown months. the pieces will fit together again, stay strong

[@Ratarossa]

Thank you mate

[@Ratarossa]

Awesome! Thank you! Very much appreciated

[@robhardie8310]

[@Ratarossa]

Glass is always half full buddy. thanks for the kind words

[@IH8AI]

Don't worry, we're not gonna stop watching. Take all the time you need

[@SturbokSensei]

Having a garage outside of the house is definitely the way to go! I'm assuming you have less time and noise related restraints there as well? Sometimes it takes an outside force to kinda reset things, take a step back and move you on and up in the world. Been watching your videos a long time and from what i can tell you and your skills have outgrown the small house garage a long time ago! Remember to enjoy the summer as much as you like, and take care of yourself and your family as much as possible!

[@Ratarossa]

Thank you brother, very true words and I always try and look on the bright side of things that they happen for a reason and at a certain point in the future I get to look back and realise it was the best thing

[@Bigworm1000]

Thank you for the update Scott, so sorry to hear the situation happening all at once. Glad you decided to keep going with the channel, love your work with it and all the other KZbinrs. I hope your channel grows from strength to strength. You totally deserve it with the hard work you put into it. Again so glad you’re staying around. Thanks Scott 👍

[@hengineer1]

Glad to see you back dude! I've had some challenges in my life - more so of late and I find the youtubing to be a welcome distraction. The community is great and what you're doing is awesome. Thanks for bringing us along with you on the journey. Can't wait for a 288GTO tribute! Yes Scott!

[@Ratarossa]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I wanted to be honest in the video because everyone has ups and downs in life and it just shows we are all human with similar experiences

[@itsnevo8757]

Well we all have your back Scott! Take all the time you need and make videos whenever you want. I totally understand having to balance different aspects of your life and sometimes things have to be put on the back burner for some time. I have three projects right now, a 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V, a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and I also have that 1998 Ferrari 456 I’ve been working on here and there and unfortunately they all have been sitting a majority of the past year due to life getting in the way. We are all here for you Scott!

[@ibud1300]

What a nice mix of cars, bit similar to mine. Respect!

[@itsnevo8757]

I also have a 2014 Audi A6 TDI Prestige S-line and a 2018 Kia Niro as my daily’s so that helps with having those projects as well

[@Lucan-ve6zc]

I think that the BBI may well turn out to be my favourite car of all time on youtube. It's going to be stunning.

[@pollatso]

Scott we all understand the dough you got tied up in these motors is immense the graft you have put in over the years is epic… We will be patient don’t worry & ask for help if you need it that’s how it works ,good luck . May the force be with you 👍🖖🫡🙏

[@martinmüller5006]

Interesting to mention,as lover of restoring old cars remember this, focus on one car, make a good job of it don't get side tracked. If you have finished your project stand back and feel good after your restoration profect then tackleyour next (project). If you tackle too many restourations thing go wrong, parts go missing and of course valuable time with family and friends goes out the back door of the house. Of course every project needs good planning valuable time, effort and of course moneeey. Al the best for you with your planning.

[@adrianreyno1]

You're doing a great job restoring those Ferraris. People that restore project cars run into all kinds of problems but the passion helps us get through them. Keep your chin up and drive on. Don't live with the regret of, what if. Just be mindful of what is more important... family and good health. With that said, you will be rewarded with the finished product of pure satisfaction.

We all know sometimes life gives you lemons (been there, done that), but I'm sure you'll make great lemonade from it, nice to see you back Scott ! Lots of work to do, all F's are broken :( Fix the grey one and sell it, then fix another one to sell, etc ... If I were you. I would keep the F430, the Ratarossa and the future F40, not much more ;) The Ratarossa, I would leave it as is (unless you are sure you can make BIG money from it)

[@davidtwittey4613]

Like many others I wondered what had happened. What a set of woes all at once. Dark days happen. In the winter we have just experienced not a lot of fun either. Family focus was definitely the way forward. Sometimes a reset isn't a bad thing. Revaluating what is important in life. Getting your arms around all the elements before making the hard decisions on the way ahead. You've done it and been very busy making the reset happen! What a bright future. Great to have you back, really positive and clearly excited about what is coming next.

[@TheGatMan91]

Sorry that you’ve had a crappy time of it recently fella, and it’s good to see you back. One thing I’ve always taken from this channel is that no matter how exotic the car is, it’s “just nuts and bolts” - you’ve proven that you don’t necessarily have to be mechanically qualified up to your eyeballs to be able to diagnose, fix or modify things yourself. Looking forward to more vids, and hope things are on the up outside of KZbin land!

At the moment I am buried in half finished projects and half filmed videos, which is frustrating and all I can do is just work to clear out the backlog. Just keep moving forward, you are one of the best car KZbinrs out there, you make great videos and personally I think you've got a bright future with the channel and even perhaps someday on TV.
