Thank you for showing autocross in such a positive fashion. Other shows completely screw it up. They have cones set up wrong, they aren't wearing helmets, and they seemingly make fun of it. You know, it's like talking about football but showing a bunch of guys, throwing a ball, in a field, drunk. Autocross is a gateway drug to auto sports and is an absolute blast. If you're ever in the Seattle area and want some more autocross fun, look me up.

Look at you, Nicole, with your race face on around the 24:30 mark. Intensity! Gonna say getting that close to the owner/builder's time in a few runs is very impressive. As for the car, the 1969-70 Mustang Sportsroof might just be my favorite style ever. I grew up in a Ford house so I'd put a 410ci Windsor in it, but that car absolutely killed it. It's his car, he gets to do what he wants, and it's awesome. I'm supposed to be working here and I could not take my eyes off the screen during the autocross sequences. Another fantastic episode.

Great content as always! Always love this show. And I've been obsessed with that Mustang since the first time I've seen it. Love seeing you toss it around! I hope and pray you're going to go back for the gt40!

[@NicoleJohnsonsDetour]

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks so much for your continued support of our channel!!

[@chrisashton7133]

Rad! I hope she comes back for the GT40 too but I suspect she's got to spend some time with other folks first. :)

[@alanwechsler9850]

“You can drive any of my stuff anytime”. High praise indeed, wow.

[@NicoleJohnsonsDetour]

For sure! That was very generous of Chris!!

[@chrisashton7133]

I have a feeling she's gonna take me up on it. 😁

[@NicoleJohnsonsDetour]

@Chris Ashton darn skippy!!!

[@roymorgan5498]

My 1st car was the 70 mach 1. I know you had the thrill of your life in that 1. I would! ❤️ Great car and video! 👍🏼

[@NicoleJohnsonsDetour]

Yes it was so much fun to drive!! Thank you for watching..glad you enjoyed it!!

[@chrisashton7133]

That's a hell of a first car!!!

[@iandonkin6762]

Chris clearly has some skills in the metalwork department - those arches look both aggressive and well integrated. And once again, great content Nicole - love your channel and productions.

[@NicoleJohnsonsDetour]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chrisashton7133]

Thanks!!! Excited to do another set of steel fenders on the Cuda!

[@SnowDawg]

Outstanding vid and great driving Nicole! found myself leaning from side to side and smiling during each run. That dude, Chris, is such an talented builder and laid back person, and he really made this fun to watch. Thank you for sharing this video!! I have been a fan since your fist video and really appreciate your kind-of backward approach and dialogue - and I mean that in the most complimentary way!! Sno Dawg - Jeff Now when are you and your husband going to do a vid on your FJ40???

[@chrisashton7133]

Thank you!!! Excited to see how future builds come out with a small team!

[@NicoleJohnsonsDetour]

Thank you so much..very nice!! No plan yet for the FJ40 but you never know!!!

[@harbaazsingh6055]

Your hunt for cars is brilliant, I don't know why people are not subscribing to your channel though. Ayo, everyone subscribe to her channel.

[@NicoleJohnsonsDetour]

Thank you so much..we really appreciate that!!

[@roshan9001]

Ok sir

[@josephmatuszak3855]

Ruffian is like an actual fantasy car kinda come to life. Sick.

[@chrisashton7133]

Nice!

[@natewarren8482]

Sweet detour. That thing really carves. Another rad ride.

[@NicoleJohnsonsDetour]

Glad you enjoyed it..thank you for watching!!

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

This is going to sound strange, but I could see you thinking when you were hearing explanations from Chris on why he did what he did. Very new old school and I love seeing these recreations from my childhood.

[@chrisashton7133]

Fun to see how focused she was while I was driving. Trying to soak it all in, watch the lines, read the course.

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

@@chrisashton7133 I hope she starts going to these track events to hone her skills. They look easy, but they're not. The dirty asphalt doesn't help much either.

[@chrisashton7133]

Autocross is very challenging! Fontana also has the worst pavement in the world! 😆 Nothing but polished stones and loose gravel.
