These guys were the true stars of MCM. Marty is great, Moog tries to hard to make his content relevant,and their projects majorly lack variety. I like the skid factory because they aren't in your face trying to hype up their boring projects. Instead you get different cars, different power platforms, organic humor, and just general good vibes. One day I'll manage to make it to Australia and finally get to sample the wonderful taste of a lemon squash drink.

I must say, when you spoke initially about hanging up the hat I was bummed but now it’s officially happening and the handover is happening, I can’t say this isn’t kind of emotional for me. Been here since day one of TSF, haven’t missed a single episode and have in fact rewatched many episodes just for the information Al provides in such a way that resonates with me. Been a mechanic for 10 years now and seeing the stuff Al creates is the reason I became a mechanic in the first place. Has been a pleasure watching the show evolve over the years and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours Al and Woody🏎️💨

I really appreciate all that Al has done to teach us. I also really appreciate his talks about mental health as a guy who really struggles with that. Watching your guys show has been a highlight of my week! Here’s to another successful 7 years! ❤🎉🍾

I have been with the Skid Factory since it began because I enjoyed Al and his knowledge. So I may not be watching as much, may become a "lurker" on the Wood Factory. I do wish Woody the best of luck.

Just enough in common to make it really interesting. Watching you guys work with LS swaps and slightly different Ford products as well as JDM. Watching you guys deal with the different laws and regulations - i wont take for granted our freedom to do basically whatever we want most of the time when compared to you guys in Australia and New Zealand. Makes the builds more interesting. So i will really miss your skills on display. Your sense of humor is a real bonus. Good luck in what ever you do.
