The Joy of the Jaguar XK140 Comes in Driving It

[@jrarsenault1937]

No frame off, just pure enjoyment. Well done!

[@Munkenba]

black guy in a white jaguar, deep voice in an old car, I can't imagine I'll ever see another moment this cool.

[@cecilwilson5442]

Nothing better than the man who can fix what he's driving and build up other car's along the way great video thanks for sharing it with us 😁😁👍👍

[@Magnero]

That music fits his narration just perfectly.

[@Trumpetmac]

I never get tired of watching this story 😊

[@dalesiemens281]

The XK140 is a powerful expression of speed and grace. But the sublime experience of driving it is on another level altogether.

[@bluestudio67]

"It's just part of the romance of the vehicle..." maybe the best sentence ever said about living with an old Jag. Awesome video.

[@rockybrennan7152]

I realize it's kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch newly released series online?

[@christinemusselman5499]

Agree wholeheartedly.

[@michaelmeliambro5117]

I'm not feeling ANY romance from this horrendous video.

[@ZoomyZoom77]

what a killer combo. that guy is as classy as his car!

[@michaelmeliambro5117]

Nothing at all classy about an XK140.....

[@bobbybasketball1999]

@@michaelmeliambro5117 Damn better car than whatever you're toolin around in. One of the fastest cars of its day, not to mention drop dead gorgeous. Keep your negativity to yourself next time, save yourself the trouble.

[@michaelmeliambro5117]

@@bobbybasketball1999 Even if it WAS the fastest, I wouldn't care, bcuz it doesn't have the same level of class a first-gen T-Bird does!!

[@ruffomaldito]

Those sweeping bubbly front fenders with the thin vertical grille make for one of the most iconic cars of all time. Simply, a true work of art!

[@campeau29]

I bought one in 1975 from an oil exec (who was tired of DIY repairs) when I was in high school. Paid $2700 and loved the car. Everyone thought I was pretty weird and I usually heard, " why dont you get a camaro like your brother?" or "is that a Japanese car?" That's life in Oklahoma. Sold it to go to college in California. Nice to see someone appreciate it. I miss the smell of leather, wood and gasoline.

[@Pelicanglider]

General comment about Petrolicious - This is, without a doubt, the best automotive theme show I have ever watched on any medium, at any time in my life. It is the best at illustrating the spirit of the automotive enthusiast, no matter what car they are enthusiastic about. Thank you, Petrolicious.

[@johnfiskin4188]

That guy is a class act, I could have listened to him talk for much longer.

[@kaerun5th]

This is one of the most beautiful cars in the world.

[@octavioquilichini874]

Good memories, I leaned to drive stick shift in a car just like this one a 1956 xk 140. My father bought used in the 60ies, loved it.

[@aaronjohnmaughan]

The portion about his apartment littered with car parts is gold. Winston Dabbs, I hope you enjoy every last mile.

[@MrBarbieq7]

I want to be in a Petrolicious video when I'm older. These people have so much class and passion its amazing

[@gf4353]

Nonenthusiasts have no idea how much blood,sweat,and years goes into each and every part of the vehicle from rear view mirror to door handles, it's a true labor of love. Kudos to Winston.

[@christinemusselman5499]

That was a beaut of an XK140! Thanks for sharing.

[@231flash]

I like the way he thinks, "gas up and lets go"

[@0YouCanCallMeAl0]

This is probably one of the best driver-car combos you guys have presented. Winston is out of this world, such an amazing classy character. Please pay him respects from all of us, he well deserves it :)

[@targaflorio3239]

"Let's Gas Up. And Let's Go". Another fantastic tribute. One of the few features in the Petrolicious series where the owner's character possibly outshines that of the car. Brilliant.

[@rafthejaf8789]

I love old Jags, they are so art deco. This guy is cool, his voice and the jazz just go together well with the car.

[@keltondeoliveira]

"... it's just part of the romance of the vehicle." I applaud this man.

[@TomasLomba]

This guy seems to have everything figured out... He knows how to live and enjoy his life.

[@jjpg2000]

That car is like a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing it.

[@greasemonk733]

Romance of the vehicle. Classy car, classy driver. Live long and prosper :)

[@LamarFaciane]

Absolutely lovely! God bless Winston Dabbs!

[@apollo305shade]

The Machine, The Garage, The Man... Harmony!! Thank you Petrolicious and Mr. Dabbs

[@StefanMarjoram]

Perhaps my favourite episode so far - what a lovely chap.

[@ottopartz79]

Sir, you are one cool man and your rides are perfect. Stay fresh.

[@YUSUFSADIQ100]

Lovely Tuesday another Petrolicious classic!

[@RellekPower]

Had the opportunity to sit and talk to Mr. Dabbs this weekend ( 07/15/2018 ) at the CCBCC Car Show were he came and displayed one of his very fine Jaguars. Mr. Dabbs is a very interesting individual for sure and I am glad to have met him and hope to be able to sit and talk to him again as he is one very interesting and knowledgeable person. Thank you for the enjoyable conversation about cars and life in general.

[@eelder321]

Love this guy. He's my new old guy role model

[@FPV_sk8]

Charismatic car for a charismatic gentleman! I became more stylish just watching this.

[@TimHarrisandJulieHarris]

Perfect story...best video yet. That guy is a hero for all us car nerds.

[@lindagladwell-vogley8861]

hey!

[@dlemon90]

I could listen to this guy tellin stories all day... Awesome car, awesome owner!

[@RetroCarsForever]

This guy is awesome.

[@CNDCarManiac]

Winston, you sir are the epitome of cool.

[@brianz426]

Great guy, great story, great cars. I'd love to hang out with Winston and talk cars. Very cool.

[@lumpymcphoomph5717]

The first sports car in which I ever rode. Uncle John had a black 140, and I was 6 or 7. Now, almost 70, I now look back on a long series of sports cars over the years. Now, I'm fine in a 2012 supercharged A6 with a few minor mods. Handles well. Goes like stink. Love to cruise along w/"Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" playing on the stereo. But Winston is clearly the fly guy! Roll on my black brother. You are class, first and last!

[@MilesPerHr]

"What are you doing with all these car parts? Well, that's my car! Come back in 2 weeks and I'll give you a ride." Great line.

[@Dusty9197]

This guy is awesome. Cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed. I also admire his modesty in what he has built. We need more guys like him at concours events.

[@kevinbias664]

Why have I never seen this channel before?? This is probably one of the best (if not the best) car enthusiast channels I have ever had the pleasure of watching!

[@michaelmottlau2072]

A great guy and a great car. " Let´s go to Frisco", "let gas it up" I love the vibe of this video. Thanks.

[@spenceriow]

Good job winston

[@jimballuff3849]

Beautiful Car, " The Romance of a Jaguar" Yes, I have one 2007 XK convertible Winter Gold, 1 of 97. And yes about the ride and drive not about the speed, and they are fast. Puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. You area class act.

[@siintube]

Hope I'm 1/4 as cool as this guy when I'm that age. Great story, great vid.

[@1eewe1]

I like how raw this guy is he's not trying to be theatrical at all when decides his jag he almost sort of downplays it even though he knows it's worth A LOT money

[@neuronbob]

This brother has exactly the right view on life and on car ownership. I would love to shake his hand in person. I WANT to be as cool as this man when I get older. Thank you so much for sharing this film, Petrolicious. Best film yet.

[@funnywhiteboi]

The music to these videos are so perfect. Ahhhh

[@geoffreyhughes7798]

What a lovely man Winston is, and what a beautiful car.

[@LoveMyZJ]

That's a cool cat right there, both the man and the car! Another stellar video from Petrolicious!

[@Daniik]

Amazing, nothing like a classy Jag on the street.

[@GreatToastMigration]

This guy's persona is so damn cool.

[@michaelmeliambro5117]

Maybe. The car??? Not so much.

[@chryco63]

I would pay for gas and dinner to take a ride to 'Frisco with Winston in this car. Guy has probably got some great stories.

[@SirLoinOfsteak85]

What a fantastic guy. I love Petrolicious vids.

[@Thizlamic]

Respect Mr. Dabbs. Officially my favorite Petrolicious video.

[@N3oo1]

Looks crisp clean, awesome. And cool guy!

[@lewis72]

What a cool dude. This guy is amazing. This video, albeit in a truncated form, would make a great advert for Jaguar Cars.

[@glen-ozzstarscars8474]

This guy is old school cool

[@veteq101]

An absolutely gorgeous machine.

[@myrryxmas]

Winston Dabbs, you are a man after my own heart when it comes to beautiful motorcars! thank you so much for sharing!

[@hamiltonian01]

Another excellent video. Many of your videos transcend simple automotive journalism, like this one. It's both poetry and social history.

[@nomadben]

Beautiful video. So, so, so good.

[@TIMG128]

Love the way he so casually says he has a wardrobe for that car!! Like it's completely normal. I have to say he is a man after my own heart.

[@Teamshmo]

I like this guys attitude on life. That is one thing I always think about if I was real rich is how I would like fancy cars, but would be so nervous to drive them. One mistake even something like a rock hitting the paint cost so much money to fix. However at the end of the day an expensive car still has four wheels, some doors, an engine etc just like the cheapest car out there and no point of thinking it's any different.

[@johnclayden1670]

How splendid! What a charming and engaging chap he is. Then there is the music too .... Wonderful. (And he's right about not neglecting classics - they're to be used!)

[@Cogito1978]

Thank you Mr. Dabbs. One of the finest, of the very fine Petrolicous videos.

[@shnimmuc]

Wonderful car man. I had a XK140MC in 56. It was my first car and I got it on my 16th birthday

[@TheRealBeerGremlin]

This might be my favorite "owner" yet.

[@ghostwriter11]

Let's gas up, and let's go.... Super! Thanks, Winston.

[@MSavageEsq]

Awesome film, usual Petrolicious quality. Mr Dabbs is a legend, what a car!

[@gwb173]

What a cool cat that guy is.

[@hellasforever6242]

A true work of art. What a machine!

Nothing quite as beautiful as a JAG

Just drips class ! Both of them. Thanks petrolicious.

[@daredevil7442AUTOMOTIVE]

your doing it right....drive and enjoy!

[@bartvanriel6767]

something about old black guys with an american accent is just charismatic for some reason

[@NickNakorn]

Yet another superb film from Petrolicious. A lovely car. I have a soft spot for Jaguars and Daimlers. I learned to drive in a Daimler Majestic and owned a 1966 2.5 V8 for a while. My brother in law had a fast 3.8 Mk2 - I thhink I prefer 6 cylinder cars to V8s; tjhey have such a lovely rasp. It's a shame Winston doesn't have the opportunity to drive the car fast - on song at 100mph plus is a delight in those old Jags providing the suspension is up to scratch. I like Winston's huge garage too - very envious!

Style, patina and a whole lot of class, straight outta compton!

[@DWS1435]

Winston thanks for sharing your vehicle with us. Beautiful Jaguar. My aunt had a XK 140 when I was younger and I loved to ride in it with her. When I was 17 I tried to buy a red XK 140. My Dad wouldn't let me me buy it. I did later finally own a 72 XKE 6 cyl roadster. I liked it but it was not a 140 like my aunt had. Life does throw you a few disappointments at times. Thanks again and enjoy your Jag!!!

[@shanehnorman]

Only a true petrolhead could consider an E-type (XKE) as a disappointment. I sympathise; it's all in the character (of the car, that is).

[@GripEnemy.]

What a cool guy, and that jagggggg is just drop dead sexy and elegant. I admire the owners passion for their hard earned and well kept car.

[@SparklesFiercely]

Wonderful man, awesome video! He has such class and captures the XK Jaguar experience perfectly. I'd love to meet him!

[@icemanroyal]

Winston knows his chit! lol The key to keeping any car of any year running and in good health is to drive it and not let it sit for long periods of time

[@moaski]

I like this guy!!! Oh yeah, I like his car, too.

[@africaidentify]

Petrolicious, you folks are KILLING me with your content! I love it!...

[@kss914]

This guy and his car are badass.

[@Grantography]

Love the video, once again you guys find a great person to interview who happens to also have a cool car!

[@ficklecycler]

In the future, could we see some sort of feature through Petrolicious that lets people look deeper into certain stories. Like an extended cut, or audio tracks of the interviews? I'd love to hear this guy describe the state of car culture in the 70's in Compton. Where the heck else could you hear that!?

[@DanielJett]

Winston, I live in L.A., too, and I hope I get to meet you and see your cars one day.

[@fargknob]

Excellent video.....thanks Winston

[@oldedwardian1778]

Oh my god what a beauty, even the painted wire wheels look fabulous.
