The World’s BIGGEST Backyard Car Show!

[@likeabossvideos]

I was the one who won the “mystery prize g8”. It’s still a surreal feeling because I had never won anything up to that point! Travis is as genuine and humble in person as he seems on camera and I cannot express my gratitude for your service to the Holden (and automotive in general) community enough. I’m looking forward to this year again and can’t wait to see everyone for another rager of a show!

[@christiandulaney1638]

Congratulations!! Thats a heck of a mystery prize. Id wrap that thing in OD Green, and slap some horsepower on it Unfortunately, its not mine, so have a blast with an incredibly underrated car!!

[@loganfritzsche8439]

what a small world it is. that was me and my dad's first year going, and I will always remember the second Travis said the mystery prize was a G8 at the top of the hill. such a cool moment.

[@VINwiki]

Travis is a national treasure x 2 - for Australia as well as the US!

[@Rebelx251]

Couldn’t have said it better. 🇺🇸💚🏁

[@jasontroglin8070]

Facts he's an absolutely amazing person

[@vintagetractorsaustralia]

He is more than welcome to come over and visit. Plenty of us here that would be more than happy to show him a good time

[@glennboyd939]

I take it you know why I bought 3? Coz it's only 3 times the price😂

[@stevenmc62089]

Chris and Travis all in one week? What did we do to deserve such a treat?!

[@ashp5406]

Totally agree.

[@bwofficial1776]

Wednesday's video about gas prices got a lot of blowback. Ed probably went into his S-tier storytellers folder to make up for it.

[@violinmiata]

It’s been a good week. That being said, you watch every episode of the Simpson’s and not all are bangers. I’m here for the long haul

[@seanwalsh7264]

All that’s missing is rabbit

[@ToolkiT73UK]

​@@seanwalsh7264rabbit is in no way in the same league..

[@Woodie-xq1ew]

I saw the title to this video and thought, this is definitely a Travis story. what an absolute legend

[@NWEDC]

Second I saw the race car I knew. That thing is famous, or infamous I guess hahaha

[@GTSCarLife]

Never wanted an Australian anything, except maybe a Shepherd, till now. Must experience Travis' party! Good times and another great video Ed!

[@chrish4469]

Australia made some great muscle cars, Check out some of them 1977 Holden A9X LX Torana, 1971 Ford XY GTHO Phase 3 Falcon or the 1972 Chrysler Valiant Charger E49 R/T

[@basskat1440]

Holy carburetors Batman! What an awesome event. I especially liked the ‘staph’ shirts 😂 COOK ON !!!

[@MarkManson14]

Most car show organisers (That's how we spell it) in Australia would struggle to get that many VE/VF's to a car show here. Good effort. @travisbell you need to get some HSV's Holden Special Vehicles state side.👍🇦🇺

[@aussiek2000]

So glad to have been a part of the 2022 cookout. Thanks travis

[@mischieftelevision]

This is such a good time! I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the Indianapolis area Saturday 9/2. It's the first time I got to see a Holden Ute in person. There were at least 11 there!

[@mikecook2788]

I could listen to his stories every day. One of my favorites

[@mrs6968]

What a swell guy he's like a car santa just genuine giving caring and kind

[@Shredmo]

Went to the first (2) G8 GONE meets in the Bettendorf, IA. Was surreal then to see 70+ G8s. Cannot imagine 300+ Australian cars at one time!

[@reptilez13]

I'm from the QC! The car culture there is wild, hell in Iowa/IL in general. All sorts, tho growing up it was mostly classic stuff.

[@christopherkraft1327]

Travis always tells a great story!!! 👍👍🙂

[@fireworks234]

Always a great time at the cookout! So cool to see them all there in one place. The GXP row last year was pretty cool.

[@mattcossel29]

I attended my first Outback in The Midwest this past weekend and it was everything Travis said it would be and more! The only thing he got wrong in this video was the estimated car count.. there were over 600 cars in that backyard this year!

[@batteryacid9435]

Ill be there next year with my 15 ss. I gotta see a ute in person. Looks like a hotwheels car lol

[@Ninjaturtlemadness]

You're a legend Travis! Be nice to see you have a XR8 or Typhoon chook-tin to sit alongside your Commo ute 👍

[@crf80fdarkdays]

Nah he reckons their not worth his time

[@egyptology22]

Commo? Who the fuck says that?

[@jfwfreo]

How dare you suggest this guy sully that excellent collection of fine GM product with a product from the blue oval...

[@randomdude4669]

​@@jfwfreotime to barra swap a g8 or ship over an el xr6

[@Mr83rt]

How does one go about sending Travis some hard to get Holden club merch? I was part of one of Australia's biggest hsv owners clubs and to see this many turn out in a country our car weren't sold in, to say is amazing is an understatement. We can only get numbers like that if we have an all holden day as opposed to club days

[@redzz02]

I aspire to be as down to earth and community driven as him, i love listening to his stories!

[@paultheprofit]

As an Aussie that has spent a bunch of time in the US I’ll raise an ice cold beer and give you a big thumbs up 👍

[@RikMcCloud]

I am a simple guy. I see a thumbnail of a GTO/Monaro doing a burnout with the captions and titles talking about car show and cook off, I realise it's a Travis Bell story, I click, I sit back, I enjoy.

[@Pokebattleleague]

Man I wanna buy a Aussie car just to get a invite to the party, sounds like fun

[@johnhutchison9782]

How awesome of you to do this!!

[@jackemerson9548]

I went last year as my first year going and had a blast! I can't wait to go again!

[@MikeHarris1984]

I love my 05 GTO and I always wanted a UTE. I would love to see your collection. I love the Aussies cars too. Holden was an amazing car company!!!

[@BanTheCrookedBlueLine]

FYI, the ticket clinic doesn't cover Montana. I called for my ticket 😂

[@davidsmith6001]

Just a great amazing story. I loved every moment of it.

[@TC-gr5py]

This is awesome, wish I had know just a bit sooner. Will make the trip up from NC next year for sure!

[@allenj9038]

Every since 08 I've wanted a gxp g8 that's when my love for Holden started. One day I'll get one and hopefully attend your cr show

[@gsmith207]

he’s just the coolest. Thanks Ed

[@theeuda]

Now can Travis get Marty & Moog from MCM to come to a show?

[@Woodie-xq1ew]

I think Travis and Turbo Yoda would come up with something entertaining

[@douglasjre]

"What caused gas prices to double" got taken down. Why?

[@George.j.k]

Travis is such an awesome guy, love hearing his stories, i would love to go to one of his car shows

[@TheCannonball79]

Hi Travis. Man that looks like a hell of a good time.

[@z06doc86]

What a gig. I’d sure like an invite to this. Travis seem like a great person and I’d like to meet him someday. That Pitts guy is another matter😂.

[@jasonellis7856]

Big Kudos to you for doing such an amazing job. It was a massive disappointment here in Oz when Holden finally shut up shop. Great to see the legacy live on and at the same time raising funds for charity. Much love and respect from a massive Red Lion fan Down Under...

[@korn111685]

I want to mail Travis my GTO stuff from when I bought my 04 back in the day. It’s long gone but I have the memories and that’s enough.

[@loganfritzsche8439]

If only Travis of 2 years ago could have seen what this years' event was like. 600+ cars, so many amazing cars, and so many amazing people. I cannot wait until next year when I have my own caprice to take to the event. And, never did I think I'd see the day that the giveaway car would be a V8, six speed, SS ute. next year is shaping up to be a fantastic show. RIP Rob Pitts

[@rickfig9128]

This will be my first year going. Can't wait and I'm driving from pa.

[@travisbell4996]

Thank you for coming,

[@violinmiata]

Travis is one of Indiana’s finest!

[@frankgeimer5952]

That was a very cool story! Thanks for sharing!

[@WTFBODY]

This event was also really well done. I enjoyed it. I blew up my GXP or I'd be back again this year.

[@WTFBODY]

also, big sad I got snipped out of the thumbnail :(

[@49breal]

Love my 04 GTO! Would love to go to this event!

[@MikeHarris1984]

Omg... I want a Holden Wagon!!!!!!

[@CHEGTO]

I Love the channel have been a long time VIN WIKI supporter.. As a Georgia resident who has owned 2 GTO’s A Black 5.7 and a 2006 6.0 Spice red metallic and 2 2009 G8’s one a 6.0 and One a 3.6 with some crazy fun stories and sad endings 😢 I would love to meet this man and just listen to all of his adventures

[@jafourman]

Travis throws a hell of a party!

[@EBfalconV8]

Pretty cool to an Australian Travis. Maybe one day we'll some some Aussie Fords there 😉

[@rougesauce71138]

Had fun the last 2 years can't wait to for this year

[@olikat8]

"...these are suppose to be illegal." Vermont enters the conversation (now RIP)

[@blue_lancer_es]

Travis is the 🐐

[@Doogie9plus22]

I live 1/2 hour from the factory Holdens we’re built in Adelaide, Australia

[@whatchanobouitdem]

Mr. Travis Bell!!! Immediate viewing required

[@aliassmithandjones9453]

y'alls sure know how to have good clean fun! 😃

[@astra47420]

Brilliant need this in the UK 😅

[@vintagetractorsaustralia]

You got to reach out to some of the old Holden owners in the US. I know a guy in North Carolina who has a 1987 VL commodore. I know there is a 1970 Holden Torana that lives in California. Plus a smattering of other Holden’s. I know there is also a Chrysler Valiant Ute in the US somewhere too.

[@franklast7955]

ALWAYS INVITE THE NEIGHBORS

[@henrymorgan3982]

What you can do with organizational skills! Great BBQ!

[@adr1974tony]

There's a Holden VZ Crewman in the USA? Awesome!

[@shanebovell6733]

Those Holden UTEs are pretty dang cool

[@ChrisLoganToronto]

Travis just seems like the kind of guy you want to be friends with. Hope to meet him some day. Guess I need to get a Aussie car.

[@ridgelineify]

From just the title I knew that it would be Travis. Always is lol.

[@adriansupra91mk3dominguez7]

Hey I'll be there next year!!!! 04 gto from az I got at least 8 guys with gtos as well

[@MikeHarris1984]

I would drive my GTO from Phoenix to come there!!!!!

[@JimEmbury]

Beautiful!

[@fpSmoker]

I've always loved the Pontiac G8 and I would love to get one or holden if I could just to come to your barbecue

[@ImportDomestic2006]

That would be so awesome to be at one of these events with our 2006 Pontiac GTO spice red metallic with the only genuine custom stitched HSV steering wheel in the United States.

[@Baltzy24]

Can't wait for the event this year! Only one week away

[@bluewombat]

Makes me wanna get a Ute just so I can participate, this sounds awesome!

[@johnhufnagel]

almost want to buy an aussie car just to go. heck the Chevy SS is one of the few bow ties I've ever considered.

[@ghost.of.aleksz.salad.]

as a musician that is dope you donated to the mac miller fund

[@thisfeatureisstupidxo]

RIP Holden :(

[@androidas79]

Should bring gators, spiders, snakes and roo fighting for the next one

[@kyleglenn4893]

hey I drive by your house all time that's awesome I knew something cool was happening at that house

[@TheFirBall]

I wonder if there is a Travis equivalent in Australia? hosting an American car cookout

[@johnmorris1764]

It's a shame you guys missed out on the Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo / F6

[@sandmanfishing1972]

Holden made a van as well the Sandman

[@AZACKAL]

Dam i just found the hotel everyone from this is parked at and i completed geeked out at 2am in the parking lot i never saw a malloo in person and i have never been so excited in my life. I wish i could afford one i saw the green wagon that did a burnout on the trailer apparently being towed by a black holden wgaon. Wow what a night! I wish i could have seen this in person even though i dont own a holden personally

[@mikecook2788]

@MightyCarMods need to come next year

[@iBeerus-]

missed opportunity in the beginning "usually when im sitting here I'm talking about Dukes of Hazzards or Australian cars, and low and beHOLD-EN, Australia wins." wouldve been perfect

[@ryurc3033]

For anyone named Bruce "Australia Australia Australia,we love you , Amen ".........

[@paulshannon4576]

Damn now I want to buy a Ute.

[@frankm9805]

ill send the ute over there for next year ❤

[@JR_harlow]

Where is this!!! I live in indiana and need to know!

[@michaelhowell2326]

As I'm watching this I realized I had a huge grin on my face. It would take ten lbs of TNT to blow the smile off my face if i was there.

[@jasontroglin8070]

Could I drive my Pontiac Grand AM GT to one of your events? I would be in heaven being around like-minded car people I get made fun of because I'm a Pontiac guy, but some people just don't get it. They are absolutely amazing cars if you take care of them like any other car . I absolutely love mine, tho. I'm fortunate enough for everything to still be original as well. Most of the ones you do find nowadays, tho are ragged out or just not worth what they are asking for it . I would love the opportunity to be a part of the cookout or a club one day

[@davidkroth]

Travis, how do I get an invite? I've got a 2012 PPV and I'm itching for a road trip!

[@travisbell4996]

It's next weekend (Sept 2nd) in Indy.

[@skilled1140]

Teckademics shirt 👍

[@minibikemadman]

labor day weekend is coming up! I wonder how this year will be.

[@brandenjones192]

Good guy Travis.

[@Mr-pn2eh]

They aren't illegal if it's under show and display.

[@Tact-Mack0397]

I’d like that GTO pls

[@venskus2009]

I love GTOs

[@jasonsimpkins5040]

I think Rick Ross's car show may the be the worlds biggest.

[@Slowestcarchannel]

Does it have to be an Australian car cause I wanna go to see the cars

[@iBeerus-]

also this is in INDIANA??! where can i get my invite cause im probably not far

[@ryangorges]

Confirmed, there was more cars this year lol

[@arthur4493]

If Travis is paying the fuel bill maybe one of the many blown Commodore burnout cars from Australia can visit and claim furthest traveled

[@justinosterman2436]

when and where is the next one

[@travisbell4996]

Next weekend, indy

[@hudsonja]

Did Travis say he usually donates to the Mac Miller Fund? If so, that's so dope

[@Rekuzan]

Too bad Jared is up to his eyeballs ATM with another project. I would have loved to see Road Block in that stack of ute's.

[@me3333]

Travis is the neighbor we all wish we had
