Hope they really become good friends and we get to see them build some custom stuff that they can lay claim to being all their own. A show with these two would be awesome! I foresee some great KZbin content from these guys. Would be awesome for Derek to bring John along for a revival. Maybe even let him rip around the pond in the camaro or the hemi lol.
