The algorithm fed me part one of the VL but I didn't know I wasn't watching MCM2 until I was trying to share it with my brother and I couldn't find it. Give it a couple weeks though.

I think the reason we like the skid factory so much isn't just the high quality builds or amazing knowledge that Al shares each episode, I think its because of how "pure" their builds feel, not in the keeping a build all to one manufacturer or country, but how whole the car still is, I can go find builds of just about any car I can think of on youtube, but they usually involve cutting all sorts of stuff out of the way and crazy expensive parts and equipment for getting the job done, I think thats what makes the skid factory amazing, the fact that everything they do seems like I could go do it myself probably with allot more effort, but without spending 10s of thousands on specialist equipment, and the end results are still special.
