That’s my grandfather!!! 🥰 he takes his MGA every year to the shades of the past car show in Pigeon Forge, TN. He’s an amazing man and his knowledge goes well beyond vehicles. ❤

[@ChrisLoganToronto]

A very talented and humble man

[@seanbroderick5923]

He’s a fantastic engineer and mechanic 👍👏👏👏

Enjoy every minute with him, life goes by fast for everyone. May not seem like it when you are young, but time stops for no one.

Dennis is the most likable gentleman treating EVERY person with respect and backing it up with pure class expertise. Keep it up 🔥

[@allergictoglobalists]

If every business owner treated his employees like Dennis does, people would never change jobs. It's refreshing to see.

[@michaelmaas5544]

If every employee was as talented and willing to work as hard as his employees do they probably would.

[@Crazycarlisle]

@@michaelmaas5544 nah most bosses do not appreciate their employees. If they did then the world would be different

[@deanoallen5096]

Exactly, people don’t quit their jobs they quit their bosses.

[@theanomalous1401]

IMO The foundation of any Employer/Supervisor/Manager, Employee relations0hip is respect, aka, the knife that cuts both ways. A good boss doesn't ask an employee to do a task that they themselves wouldn't do. Equally important is the rule of "Praise in public, Criticizein in private. There have to be clear and obvious lines of demarcation between a Employer/Employee in order for the this to work.

[@charlisantini3403]

@@Crazycarlisle As a boss, the appreciation has to go both ways.

[@DuckReach432]

I was amazed at the quality of that MGA build. I was shocked when he mentioned he'd built it thirty-five years ago. What a car.

[@wstrongest1]

Dennis you are a 1st class act salute to you and thank you for the throwback episode.

[@ronsteitz4535]

I owned a 1957 100-6 Austin Healy in 1973. It was my 11 grade Sumer project. I had it sandblasted and cleaned up rust. New rocker panels and paint . It had the six with dual carbs and 4 speed with electric overdrive. It had splined wire wheels which I sandblasted and repainted them. Very fun car to drive and sold in winter of 1973 for $1,200 .👍😀

[@brendannunya77]

Love your always positive attitude Dennis.

[@courtneesdad]

That man is a gem. He has talent on loan from God. His car is a work of art. First time I’ve ever seen remote control windows. OUTSTANDING!!! This video is great.

[@darylkik6204]

I have been following this channel for over a year now and Dennis is really that great of a guy. Human of course, but a heart of gold it appears. (FYI- Many cars in the last 20 years come standard with remote windows on the factory key fob. I have had many Honda Accords , Nissan Rogue, Jaguar S Type but many are not aware. Just hold down the windows button and even the sunroof will open. Hold the up window button and all windows and roof will close. They just don't really advertise it on most cars.)

[@jamessharkey7391]

I wish more people popped in on this channel. So we’ll done. Keep going Dennis 👍

[@mrho4speed]

Thanks for another great episode. I like that you include stuff like getting stuck in the mud = a slice of real life and the problems we all face. Please tell us in another episode if "goldie" gets an award??? Thank you!!!

[@buddyfuentes]

Dennis, Thank you for making a video without the use of F Bombs and a constant beer commercial. I still watch some of Richard's videos when I'm alone, but never with my grandkids, he sends out the wrong message. You are respectful of the people you deal with and give us an inside look at your business world. I'm always thrilled to see "barn finds". Thank You!

[@wardwhitehead]

What a car and with absolutely extraordinary provenance. I'm betting "Goldie" won Best of Show or Best Restoration... or both! Dennis' answers to the judges' questions were truly fascinating. I wonder if he will exhibit it at Pebble Beach or Amelia Island? Thanks Dennis for this bona fide automotive gem; it is an international-treasure.

[@mariarusso1155]

Hello ward how are you doing today. Hope you had a great weekend 😊

[@texasbasementbuilds4543]

Goldie won Best Restored 2015

[@patrickvanhoesen9425]

Don't feel bad guys, I got our Dodge dually with our gooseneck 15 yard roll off on it, buried in 2 feet of snow on Monday morning at 9k feet in elevationin SouthernColorado. I spent 4+ hours out there before I got out. Id take stuck in the mud. Lol

Great video, Dennis. The talent that gentleman had and he was so humble.

[@paulyarlett1238]

I have been watching you boys for a fair while and as a mechanic and as a British man in his best years ( 50s) I love the fact dennis is a fan of our classic cars I am a member of Brooklands museum were they hold a lot of special days devoted to special makes and marks of all wheeled forms of transport and I love what you guys do to keep all these vehicles alive.

[@joeshmoe1436]

Goldie is literally a factory 1 off priceless piece of historical art work , don't think I've ever heard of any other auto makers building anything like er , outstanding doesn't do this episode justice ,

[@chriscollins550]

Back in the day even up to the 90s English and Japanese sometimes Italian car companies used to build these one of one car's only for shows like Earls court, some would end up in private hand's some would stay with in the company's own collection and other got crushed afterwards. My friend owned a one of one Toyota supra mk3 it had a total different dash and full adaptive airo body kit one off wheels. He got ran into from behind the insurance took over three year's to pay out because their was no money value on the car as no other one like it existed. It's amazing what car companies used to do just to show what they could do all for a show.

[@AlAllerton]

@@WildHorsesOfCourse cool, thanks for that. I remember seeing this episode with the amazing Porsche collection, but not award ceremony, probably because I didn't know the background of the car back then. Now it all makes sense.

[@chriscollins550]

Goldie is a true one of one car and has a real no money value if you understand what I mean. There's collectors out there who are willing to pay any some of money for it, a collector in London offered Dennis three million dollars for it and Dennis declined the offer, I know of other private collectors who have offered him money when Dennis was in England and Dennis refused them all. I can definitely say Dennis love for this car out way's any money value put on it, the car has been valued why it's been in Dennis hand's and he never revealed it. What is it worth nothing because Dennis will never sell it. A car guy who truly love's car's

[@friguy4444]

The hard part about getting the trailer out is trying not to wreck the gentleman's yard. They could get it out with a small Cat or maybe even a large rubber tracked Kaboda or something but they would just rip that field to shreds every time they turned a bit.

[@davidconway1342]

A large tracked machine, excavator maybe a few sheets of heavy plywood just keep placing them in front of the tracks as it moves across the soft soil

[@logancarter2134]

Another fantastic episode of Coffee Walk!

[@deltavee2]

What a treat. A fellow Healey guy! I had the pleasure back in the late '60s to own a brace of them, a BN-6 and a BN-7. The 7 had a driver's side roll bar and triple SUs which in true tradition were a beeyotch to tune but when done right, she moved right quick. She had obviously been raced but I got no provenance with it, just cash on the barrel head. BR Green and tan seats, of course. The ivory Healey is...interesting. They wanted to build an eye-catcher and it worked. Mr. Doherty's V-8 MG with all the trimmings is just a mind-bender and probably unique. Congratulations to him for a beautiful piece of work/art. Fun fact: 1958 Oldsmobile station wagon wheels will bolt right on and they fit best if they are installed reversed. Of course I did it and man did it take the chatter out of the rear end! The much increased track made all the difference in the world. Much more stable in the corners, especially on rough dirt roads. 500+ Healeys! I stand in awe, Dennis. Cheers from Ottawa, ON. P.S.: Subscribed on the spot, white bell and all thumbs up henceforth. Dennis is a class act.

Alex would have just backed down the driveway and not got stuck.

[@a430vaudiguy]

My grandfather had a 3000 with front disk brakes, a 4 speed with electric overdrive, 2 seats (just a carpeted shelf in the back) and 3 single barrel side draft carbs. He did semi restore on British cars and this one was in his backyard for a very long time. Every time I visited, I would go out and look at it and dream about fixing it up. He did all the mechanical work on the car and the body work, then ran an ad in the paper to sell it. The new owner was able to pick the materials for the inside and the paint color. She ended up with Tobacco leather and candy apple red paint. The car was beautiful when it was done. Total price was $14,000 it was sold to her about 1997 in the SF bay area.

I have also been trading with him and the profits are secured and over a 100% return on investment directly sent to your wallet. Lack of trade discipline is the primary reason for in day trade losses. It is estimated that nearly 80-85% of day traders end up losing money in the stock market
