The "Thanks for standing here all day" is a little look into the real DF. Its nice knowing you appreciate those that keep this going. Legitimately appreciate them. You are the moving force behind basically all of my last 30 years of automotive interests. Ive followed you from print to screen through the years and LOVE that as i get into my 40s you're still my favorite automotive influence. Id like to see you do more with Cleet, event stuff, not just videos. The two of you would be a force untouchable. You guys pull two different groups of automotive enthusiasts who respect the snot out of each other.

[@PerunLeDoucheTheSquareSpectrum]

Love the camera work and editing for your videos. Almost all big production companies overdo the hell out of it. Multiple camera angles for every single shot. Jumping around between them every second or two if not more often. As a viewer it just means there's no time to absorb the finer details and see what's actually happening. Mainstream style camera work is just trying way too hard and accomplishing less. What you're doing works so much better. Just having one well placed camera for each shot. Feels more calm and relaxed. Much more akin to actually having a conversation with a person. Such a great format and style for sharing your knowledge and passion for automobiles. Good stuff.

Now this is the kind of content I've been wanting to see. No scripts, no filler, no animated into sequence, just explain the work, do the work, drive the car, race the car. Loved seeing the 30-year history of this car, It's inspiring me to buy a new '67 shell and build it into a race car. After I finish my 318 Dart, and my JDM Honda Today, and... The update on all the other cars was great too, and much needed. Looking forward to seeing the Tunnel Cram in action, as I haven't had a chance yet.

[@austincassell4741]

Tip for doing KZbin; when you film a pass at the drag strip, I think most of us don't want to see the TV show style action cuts. You can be running an 18 second car but I think most of us will agree that seeing the entire pass is MUCH better than a different cut scene every few seconds. Having an outside track cam and an inside car cam is perfectly fine but split them up into two different distinct "videos". Finnegan's videos are a perfect example of what im trying to explain haha

[@Pan_Galactic_Gargle_Blaster]

This format is excellent. Very personal, and feels more like tagging along with someone doing what they love to do than striving to construct a greater narrative like some of the older MT content (which still was fun, but a different style). Subscribed.
