This is actual insanity. They need to be held liable and be sued! Not only does this damage their own business which is good, but also the vision of all the other tune mechanics.. everyone will think twice now and legit good businesses will suffer from this also! Absolute madness
James I know this situation has been hard on you for the past few years. I know this video wasn’t easy to make and you’ve been putting it off for awhile now. But I’m glad you’re showing the audience the truth. This isn’t an uncommon occurrence where CZcamsrs PAY for a build and the shop screws them around and screws up their car. The shop gets the money and the millions of views making them look GOOD when in reality they have no business working on peoples cars. The hardest part is having to make a choice to walk away from the shop and say nothing to your audience. Which allows people to form their own ideas about what happened or you make a video exposing the shop which can also hurt your own brand in the process. I’ll give it to you. You’re stronger then me for doing this. Ive walked away from shops in the past and always got blamed for “burning the bridge” because I didn’t make a video like this exposing them. Stay strong bro. I hope they make this right! I’d also like to offer our help. I can have Mike Essa our full time tech fix your car and I’m sure we can get it tuned properly! Let me know how we can help. All at no cost. Call me. ❤
The fact that James stood here for 13 minutes not saying a single swear is mind blowing. If i had my car come back like this i would go off on them. He kept his cool and he did not hold back.
well he did say a few times “my car is a cluster-“ and then it smoothly cuts to him continuing talking so presumably here have been some swear words cut out of the video
I tried warning you about B-Rogue 3 years ago. I commented on your video to contact me. In the original video when you were dropping off your car at B-rogue, my orange Lambo was in the background on a lift. It sat there for 6 months with Brandon telling me that he can’t figure out what’s wrong with it. I finally get fed up with him and sent it to a Lamborghini dealership where they had my car running the same day I dropped it off
This has probably been my favorite video so far. It sucks that you had to go through all this but it shows the true side that everything’s not perfect and just because someone is “well known” and charging top dollar doesn’t mean they care or respect your property.
You have handled this in a mature manner. I say that you turn this into a CZcams series where different mechanical CZcamsrs help fix the Gallardo. Stay strong Strad 🏁
The fact that ur still smiling and being civil with your words means you genuinely are the good man I’ve believed you are since 2017 🎉celebrate yourself stradman
Please sue them for the $52,000 plus attorneys fees and finish them off so they can’t do this to someone else. This has been insane for taking this long. Clearly someone just said “F it” and sent it back like that.
it wouldnt be so easy tbh the court would end up dismissing it anyway since its not their problem he has to deal w b row plus he would have to prove everything which would b too much of a headache

Ive thought all along something must be up with the build, and as a creator I know how hard this video was to make, tons of maturity in handling this and giving them so many chances to make it right. Crazy they did this with someone who has a channel with 4 million subscribers, imagine what they do with regular customers cars...
I bet they just replied his offers because of his popularity, i wouldn't doubt they would be capable of even ignoring him if he were a regular customer.
Sue B Rogue for the cost, time and stress this has cost you James. I'm so sorry that you've had to go through all this. Your OG subscribers love the Gallardo and its so upsetting to see in this state. Thank you for being open and transparent after giving the crooks at B Rogue every opportunity to put things right.
I agree. The principle of the matter is that they should not get away with this. But in hindsight, I'm no lawyer, because he exposed the issues on YT, the lawsuit may not be valid...he's already commented on public domain. Would be interested to see what the legal folks say about this.
Nothing is “easy” about a lawsuit. Just more dragged out headaches for James. Clearly he’s had enough. Trust me, this video will hurt B rogue a lot more then a lawsuit will
This is the first time i've actually seen James pissed off. And logically everyone would be too in this situation. And also the fact that he's trying to stay positive to us even though he genuinely is mad, i respect it, much love Strad! ❤
It's so weird seeing James not being his normal cheerful self. It's also funny how his "angry side" is way nicer and more polite than most people are ever
4 years and you were patient up until the very last minute, nothing but respect for you man. With that being said, you are not only rightful to be angry but rightful to sue, they need to be held accountable.
So... At first, this seemed like the projects of all car projects.. But after seeing the car in that state, scares me about all car modifications... Good job for uploading this James!!
I think you should give Mike Essa and DDE’s Team a shot, I’ve been watching both of y’all’s channels since 2014 and DDE ALWAYS makes sure projects get done in a timely manner and that their projects get done perfect and they wouldn’t put THEIR brand nor Mike Essa’s names out there without being 100% sure they could rectify the issues and every video Mike Essa has made with DDE he ALWAYS explains exactly what he’s doing and WHY he does it the way he does it clearly showing he has the knowledge behind what he does and never says he can do a project that he doesn’t come through with. I’ve always loved the collabs that they’ve made over the years and in EACH ONE you can clearly tell there is genuine respect between each of their brands. As well as the fact that DDE would make content on every bit of work they’d do to the vehicle giving the fans something content on each and EVERY step of the process that it would take to get the OG Gallardo back on the road in all of its former glory and leave the 4 year process that it took to get it to that point in the DUST.
Couldn't agree more. He did everything he could to help them and even gave them tons of time and money yet they did his car like that. Just cant trust some people sadly
My respect went up for you. Thank you for confronting a problem and dealing with it. And this is especially sketchy coming from a company like that. Definitely handled it the right way 💯
I know I’m a bit late (I took a break for a while and I’m catching up on your videos) but you’ve shown these guys a lot of love over the years, you are one of the nicest and most positive people on the platform so on the rare occasion you have something negative to say I can only assume you’re being completely honest. If any legal action came/comes of this they’re obviously attempting to save face. Seeing the clip of you trying to get the car going was frustrating, first time I’ve ever seen you struggle not to curse and you genuinely seemed like you wanted to cry from all the hard work and money you’ve poured into this project
Take them to court, this is insane that it has taken over 3 years for them to do a sloppy job of a twin turbo kit on your Gallardo. Get your money back James.
Fr bro take they ass down cause that crazy that the car was running at 150 miles per hour a few months ago to a leaks of oil till this point. I say take them all the way
@@DragonM3D me too everytime james upload I always expect for him to tell us some news or updates about this car but yet here it comes but not the ideal outcome that I've expected
1. Fix it with your own money. 2. Take them to court. 3. Lawsuit is for the cost of the repairs you footed yourself, along with the original work price.
This is crazy. An option you can consider is, shipping it to gintani. Alex and the boys will take care of the car. Considering that Alex personally flew almost halfway across the country to TUNE your venti, just goes to show that he cares. They’ve taken very good care of DDE, and honestly, as much as it hurts to spend the same amount of money doing the same thing to a car, it’s a better option.. Damon and Dave can vouch for Alex if it’s needed.. Godspeed James. The gallardo will be back, and boy she’ll be back with a bang
@@21sledF12 was bad idea to begin with they did a good job sorting it out as much as possible but the top mounted configuration and Damon's driving just doesn't work with the Ferrari
The emotion you can see in his eyes… if you’ve been here for long enough to remember the TT and the Gallardo you understand. Hope it gets fixed and done right
@@ronaldrunyowa8841 they are counting on him being too nice again and not suing them, thats why they just dumped a car on him like that… they know that lawyer will cost him same or more as if he just fixes the car elsewhere, minus the headaches… and even if he wins, they will probably declare bankruptcy and just open a new company on same location. So now he has to cover legal fees and still fix his car. With his reach, it would probably make more sense to make a few more videos of fixing the car and be sure to let his viewers know who “built” this clusterfuck….
@@rarecase3666what makes you think in any way that this was not the companies fault, he spent over $50k to receive a car that doesn’t even work (not to mention he waited 5 years for it)
We restored a muscle car a few years ago and it was a 2-3 year process and very expensive. They did a good job, but at some point in the timeline of it being worked on, I think the garage came to the realization that the work, time, space that this vehicle was taking up was eating away at its initial margins on this restoration. They were making money, but it became a nuisance and they were ready to move on to another project. I have a feeling they viewed your vehicle the same way.
My car went to dealership for repair for 7 days and when I get to pick it up it was having battery issue and water in fuel light on. I was furious and angry at the fact that keeping at dealership where we go to get our car cared get more issues. This guy is ace that even after multiple years and with the condition he is taking is more coolly than most people would. We are with you James.
Is REALLY hard to feel bad for a rich dude who is crying about $50k which is literally pocket change. It’s like if Elon Musk had to pay a million dollar lawsuit and crying about the pocket change he’s losing.
that gallardo should've been done over 3 years ago. been struggling to understand how/why james kept talking positively about b rogue, glad something is being said
There are a few issues. That engine is super fragile, and parts are incredibly hard to get. They broke the engine three or four times and after that should have completely rebuilt the engine with stronger components to handle the stresses of that much pressure. I think another tuners once said that most people don’t twin turbo those engines for the reasons mentioned. I think the solution maybe to go back to stock or fit a VF supercharger.
I love how in the video strad said sorry to the hamilton collection even tho it was a prank, (no hate to the hamilton collection) he is honest and kind, keep it up strad! And the fact that the car took 3 years and broke down is honestly heart breaking. It was the first car that caught my eye on this channel, love how those cowards turned their comments off cuz they cant face the facts. The reason the e-brakes broken is they prolly had some fun with it whilst you weren't there, drifting,speeding, and all in all treating the car badly. Sorry for you james :(
For them to treat the car that is symbolic of you and your dads relationship this way is a travesty. I hope there’s some sort of legal action you can take to rectify this! Maybe try talking to Gintani, they seem to be experts in Lambos
@iFerg fr this project was an immense marketing opportunity for their shop yet they took years and made their shop look terrible. Just imagine what everyday customers deal with
They even had the nerve to stick their logo all over the engine 🤣🤣 everything aside I think you should go through the legal side and sue them for what you paid them.
I've been on the same boat, in fact I am currently dealing with a similar said "boat"; Nice classic supercar with shoddy engine work that ultimately needed a rebuild... I'm finally nearing the end of the rut, but it took years... hang in there, it gets better!
I started, and graduated college throughout the entirety of the time your car was gone. I can’t imagine what 3 years is like waiting for a car to be completed only for it to be a major waste. I know this feeling when I waited 1 whole year to receive a car with a blown motor. I’m so sorry James
Congrats on graduating college! I just graduated highschool this year so I was a freshman when this all started. Kinda crazy, it doesn’t feel like it’s been all that long.
i have been watching this man for years and not once he ever made a video adressing any drama. the fact that he is making one now is testament to how utterly ridiculous the situation is and how much b rough buit screwd up
They ruined his first proper supercar that he owns, if you've been watching his videos for a long time now, you should know how much he loves this Gallardo, he even said multiple times on multiple different videos, that he will never sell the gallardo even if he had to sell every other supercar, just because how much it means to him.
@@dannypark6910 i know thats what im sayin, this car means so much to him, i started watching him from the video where he buys the gallardo and camps in a parking lot . the shop fked up
We stand with you James. Respect for taking the leap and actually calling them out. They could’ve had it made but instead they will probably end up bankrupt and out of business
Strad is the last person to deserve this kind of treatment. Sadly, I’ve been waiting a couple years for this video. James you are a rock star for the way you’ve handled this, giving them EVERY opportunity to fix it. Shame on brogue. I hope a legal team is watching and willing to take this case forward. We’re here for it James!
He definitely didn’t deserve this and for how long he has waited for this car this is just sad the quality of their build at B Rouge is Garbage and waiting 3 MONTHS FOR A CONTRACT. I would Nahverkehr done the same thing you did strand
The fact that you can see with your own eyes that he’s upset and does not break character or even utter a curse word just goes to show how professional he is. I hope that Justice is served and that she’s on the road soon bro!
man after 5 years and over $50k you have every right to not just be mad or piss, you have the right to be furious at them, honestly you are handling this a lot better than i would and it really just shows how great you really are. i hope everything comes out well
Some mechanic shops are the worst bro 🤦♂️ they’ll run up a $30,000-100,000+ build without an issue and still not complete the vehicle properly. Craftsmanship and quality goes a long way
Couple thing's, the smoke could be the turbo drains undersized and what happens is the oil pressure weeps past the journal bearings and puts oil in the intake, the engine oil pressure issue may be a sign of multiple things, but the 1st thing I would do is remove the filter and cut it open to check the filter media for "bearing debris " that would tell us a lot, I own a Performance engine shop, lmk If we can help.
You know it's bad when someone so genuine like James is this angry. You can tell he's holding in the anger on camera cuz he's a good influence and I admire that. Idk what B Rogue is thinking if they're gonna sue cuz honestly this is all on them so they're asking to lose a lot of money. They're business I;m sure is gonna shutdown and I hope they do so nobody else has to deal with this. I hope you see this James, I so sorry this happened to you. I knew something wasn't right for a while it doesn't take 3 years for something like this.
I’ve never seen you like this man, you know they messed you up, when we see this reaction. You’d think with the following you have, they would’ve figured it out within a year, not nearly 5 years. Good luck man.
I really hope you can recover every cent you poured into that beautiful Gallardo. Ive always loved the Gallardo because in NFS I could never afford the Aventador and had to use a Gallardo, and my love for it still remains. So I hate to see one butchered by a crap repair shop
Don’t be a nice guy, hold them accountable that way anyone else who ever thought of spending that type of money with them knows what to expect. Lots of shops like that hate taking responsibility when THEY mess up so it’s nice to see you putting them on blast.
So happy he finally made this video and told the truth. But let's be honest. If this was Damon at DDE, he would have been roasting these guy on camera 2 years ago saying "what's the delay?!?!"
The craziest thing is I’ve been watching since the day this car left and more than that but this is insane I’ve been waiting for the return of that lambs for so long and it’s just unbelievable
I'm blown away how you're still so polite and respectful this entire video, if this happened to me I'd be suing them, their mothers and their dogs over this!
@@BVonBuescher Nah, don't get vengeful when handling financial disputes. You want the judge to see that you went above and beyond trying to remedy things in a respectful manner prior to having to go to court. Personally I would have kept this a private matter and taken it to court. That way they couldn't claim I caused any financial damage to their company that could count against me in the final ruling. Everything would be handled in writing so that nobody could claim they said something other than what I provided the judge. If a non disclosure was not involved in the final settlement then I'd go public so that others would not have to suffer the same nonsense.
Your patience is off the charts. I personally, would have a lawyer doing EVERYTHING possible to hold B Rouge accountable for this debacle. Good luck, James!
100%! 4 years of car depreciation and unusable time, $52,500 spent, and to finally receive the car in abysmal condition compared to when it was dropped off. James is too nice to sue, but it's definitely something i would do in that situation.
My hunch is B-Rouge is an empty bag. Suing only works if they have the ability to pay a judgement. They file Chapter 7 and the judgement is null. Only the lawyers can win here.
Man I need to get into the working on super car business. Getting $52k for breaking a car sounds like a piece of cake. Crazy this happened. Been watching since before the gallardo was sent off and have been waiting to see it back and it’s in this condition. Absolutely take them to court and get them to pay to fix the car. Hopefully James doesn’t have to sell it.
I really wanted this video to keep going. I wanted to see more messages n stuff just absolutely slamming this shit shop lmao. If this was my car, hell woulda been broken loose by the 3rd month lol. Can’t believe you gave them such ease.
They also tried to blame us for breaking the engine when at the wrap shop.
Complete lack of accountability. B…ROKE

You’d think that since millions of people will see this car ok the internet they would make the best possible build they can, unbelievable
Dang didn’t know you watched stradman bro. Common Harrison W
I bet they just replied his offers because of his popularity, i wouldn't doubt they would be capable of even ignoring him if he were a regular customer.
Don't stress, get a lawyer. Sue them, get your money back. And then roast them on social media.
@HarrisonNevel i love your videos bro. i didn’t think im gonna see u in his comments. much love ❤️ ❤
Sue B Rogue for the cost, time and stress this has cost you James. I'm so sorry that you've had to go through all this. Your OG subscribers love the Gallardo and its so upsetting to see in this state. Thank you for being open and transparent after giving the crooks at B Rogue every opportunity to put things right.
Yeah sue them don't let them go without paying
He may have just put them out of business 🤷♂️
I agree. The principle of the matter is that they should not get away with this. But in hindsight, I'm no lawyer, because he exposed the issues on YT, the lawsuit may not be valid...he's already commented on public domain. Would be interested to see what the legal folks say about this.
Shihhh he could get at least $150000 if he sues them easily
Nothing is “easy” about a lawsuit. Just more dragged out headaches for James. Clearly he’s had enough. Trust me, this video will hurt B rogue a lot more then a lawsuit will
Good for you for standing up for yourself, I’ve been watching your videos since you got the first aventador, it’s honestly appalling what they’re done
Hell yeah I am so glad of you strad..stand up man. Too good of a person ...🎉
This is the first time i've actually seen James pissed off. And logically everyone would be too in this situation.
And also the fact that he's trying to stay positive to us even though he genuinely is mad, i respect it, much love Strad! ❤
True
It's so weird seeing James not being his normal cheerful self. It's also funny how his "angry side" is way nicer and more polite than most people are ever
Butt smoocher
he has the nicest personality on youtube, probably the reason for his success
Bro fr. He was so calm about it
Yeah I mean he was so so calm about it too
I actually love htis version of him, the real person, and not the dude who sensationalizes everything.
Keep your chin up Strad, we all love you, your videos, adventures, and back you 100%.
im super happy he gave this review, really happy to see this come to light. DONT EVER TAKE YOUR CARES TO B ROUGE BUILT
Damn.. if James is this disappointed… it’s REALLY bad! Sorry you have to go through this nonsense man
That’s what I thought
Anyone would be way more than disappointed bro paid 50k for them to ruin his car☠️
A Stradman/DDE/Mike Essa/Mat Armstrong/Tavarish build would be on another level!
Broo can’t even imagine that haha damn
It would be epic and great content too @TheStradman
And TheHunterHofman too. Right? Right?!?
I was gonna write that, but then I found your comment. 😅 Definitely a super colab.
It's the video content we all need!
4 years and you were patient up until the very last minute, nothing but respect for you man. With that being said, you are not only rightful to be angry but rightful to sue, they need to be held accountable.
came back again to watch this video many more times to support James after reading the letter. Keep the video up!
Thanks for being straight forward Strad, we appreciate your hard work and honesty.
Just glad we finally got an update. I’ve been waiting to hear of the gallardo since he originally dropped off
dont redcomd
e
So... At first, this seemed like the projects of all car projects.. But after seeing the car in that state, scares me about all car modifications... Good job for uploading this James!!
DDE and Tavarish - Awesome handout! As for exposing companies - this is always a necessity when they dont deliver and fix their mistake
Even the viewers knew this was happening, we could see you trying to hide it. We knew it wasn’t your fault strad!
If Thestradman, Tavarish, Mat Armstrong and DDE come together for this gallardo it would be so sick.
why would they ALL come together. Just one of them would be enough to do it.
@@blazingyodler I agree with you, however there is something to be said about solidarity among brothers.
Take Douchebag Driven Exotics out of that picture
Ehh you could dde out of it...
@@nickprussman2141 I think by "DDE" we're all thinking more just their garage, with Mike Essa working his magic in it lmao
I think you should give Mike Essa and DDE’s Team a shot, I’ve been watching both of y’all’s channels since 2014 and DDE ALWAYS makes sure projects get done in a timely manner and that their projects get done perfect and they wouldn’t put THEIR brand nor Mike Essa’s names out there without being 100% sure they could rectify the issues and every video Mike Essa has made with DDE he ALWAYS explains exactly what he’s doing and WHY he does it the way he does it clearly showing he has the knowledge behind what he does and never says he can do a project that he doesn’t come through with. I’ve always loved the collabs that they’ve made over the years and in EACH ONE you can clearly tell there is genuine respect between each of their brands. As well as the fact that DDE would make content on every bit of work they’d do to the vehicle giving the fans something content on each and EVERY step of the process that it would take to get the OG Gallardo back on the road in all of its former glory and leave the 4 year process that it took to get it to that point in the DUST.
Get Matt Armstrong on this yah?
The amount of maturity and patience this man has is out of this world. Strad is such an amazing person.
Couldn't agree more. He did everything he could to help them and even gave them tons of time and money yet they did his car like that. Just cant trust some people sadly
My respect went up for you. Thank you for confronting a problem and dealing with it. And this is especially sketchy coming from a company like that. Definitely handled it the right way 💯
lo
I think its good that strad kept it ,cause this car is what helped him start the channel
I know I’m a bit late (I took a break for a while and I’m catching up on your videos) but you’ve shown these guys a lot of love over the years, you are one of the nicest and most positive people on the platform so on the rare occasion you have something negative to say I can only assume you’re being completely honest. If any legal action came/comes of this they’re obviously attempting to save face. Seeing the clip of you trying to get the car going was frustrating, first time I’ve ever seen you struggle not to curse and you genuinely seemed like you wanted to cry from all the hard work and money you’ve poured into this project
Take them to court, this is insane that it has taken over 3 years for them to do a sloppy job of a twin turbo kit on your Gallardo. Get your money back James.
That's really what this is. They are just liable for so much. Been waiting for this build.
Fr bro take they ass down cause that crazy that the car was running at 150 miles per hour a few months ago to a leaks of oil till this point. I say take them all the way
@@DragonM3D me too everytime james upload I always expect for him to tell us some news or updates about this car but yet here it comes but not the ideal outcome that I've expected
Get em' Strad..tear them a new one... they damn sure deserve it...
1. Fix it with your own money.
2. Take them to court.
3. Lawsuit is for the cost of the repairs you footed yourself, along with the original work price.
This is crazy.
An option you can consider is, shipping it to gintani. Alex and the boys will take care of the car. Considering that Alex personally flew almost halfway across the country to TUNE your venti, just goes to show that he cares.
They’ve taken very good care of DDE, and honestly, as much as it hurts to spend the same amount of money doing the same thing to a car, it’s a better option..
Damon and Dave can vouch for Alex if it’s needed..
Godspeed James. The gallardo will be back, and boy she’ll be back with a bang
Will they? They broke DDE’s F12 lol
No they didnt
@@21sledF12 was bad idea to begin with they did a good job sorting it out as much as possible but the top mounted configuration and Damon's driving just doesn't work with the Ferrari
@@21sled nah there might be something wrong with the engine and plus the svj is good and their crashed mclaren was good until it crashed
Love this comment
👏👏👏Im so happy for james speaking up!!!
The emotion you can see in his eyes… if you’ve been here for long enough to remember the TT and the Gallardo you understand. Hope it gets fixed and done right
The fact that you were able to act this professional to losing 50+ GRAND for absolutely nothing is impressive. I hope this is made right for you.
Well, his car ran and drove when he gave it to them... Doesn't even do that now
he just wants to go whistlindiesel's road....
Bro I would have sued them on the spot the amount of calmness this guy has to not let them fix it is crazy
@@Andy-gtiI seriously doubt that he was even a thought in his mind.
Not to through any shade.
Just seriously doubt it!
@@ronaldrunyowa8841 they are counting on him being too nice again and not suing them, thats why they just dumped a car on him like that… they know that lawyer will cost him same or more as if he just fixes the car elsewhere, minus the headaches… and even if he wins, they will probably declare bankruptcy and just open a new company on same location. So now he has to cover legal fees and still fix his car. With his reach, it would probably make more sense to make a few more videos of fixing the car and be sure to let his viewers know who “built” this clusterfuck….
This is going to crush their business and I'm all for that. The amount of unprofessionalism by that company is unbelievable.
Obviously they drove the car after you did at their shop.
Could they have blown the motor ??????
Only tearing into the motor will tell.
Reading the company replies to their negative reviews on google tells you what you need to know. Hopefully this is the end for them.
@@rarecase3666what makes you think in any way that this was not the companies fault, he spent over $50k to receive a car that doesn’t even work (not to mention he waited 5 years for it)
@@rarecase3666you’re slow
@@rarecase3666just to say James worked his ass off to get where he is today and you're just a jelous person
We restored a muscle car a few years ago and it was a 2-3 year process and very expensive. They did a good job, but at some point in the timeline of it being worked on, I think the garage came to the realization that the work, time, space that this vehicle was taking up was eating away at its initial margins on this restoration. They were making money, but it became a nuisance and they were ready to move on to another project. I have a feeling they viewed your vehicle the same way.
My car went to dealership for repair for 7 days and when I get to pick it up it was having battery issue and water in fuel light on. I was furious and angry at the fact that keeping at dealership where we go to get our car cared get more issues.
This guy is ace that even after multiple years and with the condition he is taking is more coolly than most people would.
We are with you James.
I love how the car community is united to help and spread this. You didnt deserve any of this...
Is REALLY hard to feel bad for a rich dude who is crying about $50k which is literally pocket change. It’s like if Elon Musk had to pay a million dollar lawsuit and crying about the pocket change he’s losing.
@tioswift3676 the amount of money has absolutely nothing to do with it. If you pay for a service then you should get what you paid for.
I’m not I think he deserves it n feel sorry for the company
@@tioswift3676 why are u sayin this in every comment he was a rich dude trhat was home less 5 years ago
@@tioswift3676u work for brogue dont you 😂
that gallardo should've been done over 3 years ago. been struggling to understand how/why james kept talking positively about b rogue, glad something is being said
True but since James mentioned the pandemic,only 1 tuner is working on the car but not just James but other customer's car
They made a video saying it takes so long cuz they "gotta clean the dirt in the wheel wells." Embarrassing.
@@j1may_nutrualized623that’s excuse ugr n Sheepy was dropping cars week by week
There are a few issues. That engine is super fragile, and parts are incredibly hard to get. They broke the engine three or four times and after that should have completely rebuilt the engine with stronger components to handle the stresses of that much pressure. I think another tuners once said that most people don’t twin turbo those engines for the reasons mentioned. I think the solution maybe to go back to stock or fit a VF supercharger.
@@Whoizsantinolark yeah. sheepyrace pumped out 151 videos since 2019 on probably dozens upon dozens of +1000HP/twin turbo supercars.
I love how in the video strad said sorry to the hamilton collection even tho it was a prank, (no hate to the hamilton collection) he is honest and kind, keep it up strad! And the fact that the car took 3 years and broke down is honestly heart breaking. It was the first car that caught my eye on this channel, love how those cowards turned their comments off cuz they cant face the facts. The reason the e-brakes broken is they prolly had some fun with it whilst you weren't there, drifting,speeding, and all in all treating the car badly. Sorry for you james :(
Its amazing the support from other strong channels
For them to treat the car that is symbolic of you and your dads relationship this way is a travesty.
I hope there’s some sort of legal action you can take to rectify this!
Maybe try talking to Gintani, they seem to be experts in Lambos
it's very sad and shameful
why did it take him so long to realise? I’m so glad strad finally held them accountable
@iFerg fr this project was an immense marketing opportunity for their shop yet they took years and made their shop look terrible. Just imagine what everyday customers deal with
@@madz-ftblstradman is a top bloke, probably didn’t want to put them in a pinch. Enough is enough like he said however, good on him making the video
Yup bro they are experts in lambos
They even had the nerve to stick their logo all over the engine 🤣🤣 everything aside I think you should go through the legal side and sue them for what you paid them.
I've been on the same boat, in fact I am currently dealing with a similar said "boat"; Nice classic supercar with shoddy engine work that ultimately needed a rebuild... I'm finally nearing the end of the rut, but it took years... hang in there, it gets better!
Even if you changed we still got your back Strad good luck on your next chapter Also you can see that he's so pissed that he forgot to add the outro
I started, and graduated college throughout the entirety of the time your car was gone. I can’t imagine what 3 years is like waiting for a car to be completed only for it to be a major waste. I know this feeling when I waited 1 whole year to receive a car with a blown motor. I’m so sorry James
Congrats! I'm pumped for you!
Congrats on graduating college! I just graduated highschool this year so I was a freshman when this all started. Kinda crazy, it doesn’t feel like it’s been all that long.

Bruh i was 10 then now 13 going 14
Same bri
i have been watching this man for years and not once he ever made a video adressing any drama. the fact that he is making one now is testament to how utterly ridiculous the situation is and how much b rough buit screwd up
They ruined his first proper supercar that he owns, if you've been watching his videos for a long time now, you should know how much he loves this Gallardo, he even said multiple times on multiple different videos, that he will never sell the gallardo even if he had to sell every other supercar, just because how much it means to him.
@@dannypark6910 i know thats what im sayin, this car means so much to him, i started watching him from the video where he buys the gallardo and camps in a parking lot . the shop fked up

@@dreyusalexander718 i believe so
We stand with you James. Respect for taking the leap and actually calling them out. They could’ve had it made but instead they will probably end up bankrupt and out of business
I don't know why this video got recommended to me by CZcams, but I'm glad it did. Liked and subscribed. Let's get this video out there.
You can tell how patient of a person james is in this video. Poor dude i hope that shop gets what they deserve
indeed, more then 4 years to twin turbo a car that others can do in less then 6 months 😂
IT'S LAWYER TIME! If you don't sue these scammers then others will get hurt. Just hire a bloodthirsty lawyer and get it sorted out.
Yes please
let me introduce to you... LawByMike perhaps? that would be the WILDEST collab in youtube lol
That will probably cost around the same price as it is to fix the car

Wow as a fellow Gated Gallardo 2006 owner (also arancio) all I can say is that sucks. Glad you posted the info about brouge.
Strad is the last person to deserve this kind of treatment. Sadly, I’ve been waiting a couple years for this video. James you are a rock star for the way you’ve handled this, giving them EVERY opportunity to fix it. Shame on brogue. I hope a legal team is watching and willing to take this case forward. We’re here for it James!
They deserve all of this. Lawyer up
He definitely didn’t deserve this and for how long he has waited for this car this is just sad the quality of their build at B Rouge is Garbage and waiting 3 MONTHS FOR A CONTRACT. I would Nahverkehr done the same thing you did strand
I feel like they just threw their hands up and gave up on doing the job. Just tape it back together and ship it home. What a bunch of crooks.
Don't mistake some ones kindness for weakness. Props to James for handling this very professionally.
That company will never recover from this 😂
That's a tough one. You handled it better than I probably would have!
The fact that you can see with your own eyes that he’s upset and does not break character or even utter a curse word just goes to show how professional he is. I hope that Justice is served and that she’s on the road soon bro!
man after 5 years and over $50k you have every right to not just be mad or piss, you have the right to be furious at them, honestly you are handling this a lot better than i would and it really just shows how great you really are. i hope everything comes out well
The fact you got ripped off and stayed so professional about it is amazing! W youtuber right here
This is his best vid he’s giving all of his heart but everybody doesn’t care
Some mechanic shops are the worst bro 🤦♂️ they’ll run up a $30,000-100,000+ build without an issue and still not complete the vehicle properly. Craftsmanship and quality goes a long way

Couple thing's, the smoke could be the turbo drains undersized and what happens is the oil pressure weeps past the journal bearings and puts oil in the intake, the engine oil pressure issue may be a sign of multiple things, but the 1st thing I would do is remove the filter and cut it open to check the filter media for "bearing debris " that would tell us a lot, I own a Performance engine shop, lmk If we can help.
Absolutely murdered a business haha I love it. I can’t believe they couldn’t help you out
You know it's bad when someone so genuine like James is this angry. You can tell he's holding in the anger on camera cuz he's a good influence and I admire that. Idk what B Rogue is thinking if they're gonna sue cuz honestly this is all on them so they're asking to lose a lot of money. They're business I;m sure is gonna shutdown and I hope they do so nobody else has to deal with this. I hope you see this James, I so sorry this happened to you. I knew something wasn't right for a while it doesn't take 3 years for something like this.

you can hear the disappointment in his voice when he says “i’m over it.”strad’s such an amazing person he really doesn’t deserve it:(
Og
He really doesn’t I’ve been with him and his channel for so many years he’s such a good guy he truly doesn’t deserve this:(
I’ve never seen you like this man, you know they messed you up, when we see this reaction. You’d think with the following you have, they would’ve figured it out within a year, not nearly 5 years. Good luck man.
I really hope you can recover every cent you poured into that beautiful Gallardo.
Ive always loved the Gallardo because in NFS I could never afford the Aventador and had to use a Gallardo, and my love for it still remains. So I hate to see one butchered by a crap repair shop
Don’t be a nice guy, hold them accountable that way anyone else who ever thought of spending that type of money with them knows what to expect. Lots of shops like that hate taking responsibility when THEY mess up so it’s nice to see you putting them on blast.
Why are you guys here😅😂
Finally a CZcamsr who doesn’t let it slide and holds people accountable
After he didnt get his wishes realized but when they offered him discounts and such in the begining, then he did eat it all.
And he's the last person you expect to make a video on this. He must sue
So happy he finally made this video and told the truth. But let's be honest. If this was Damon at DDE, he would have been roasting these guy on camera 2 years ago saying "what's the delay?!?!"
he just wants to go whistlindiesel's road.... dumbasss
Good on you for calling them out.
The craziest thing is I’ve been watching since the day this car left and more than that but this is insane I’ve been waiting for the return of that lambs for so long and it’s just unbelievable
I'm blown away how you're still so polite and respectful this entire video, if this happened to me I'd be suing them, their mothers and their dogs over this!
It appears you don’t know what YT ad rev + sponsored ad money brings this guy. Another 50k isn’t a drop in the pond for him

@@BVonBuescher Nah, don't get vengeful when handling financial disputes. You want the judge to see that you went above and beyond trying to remedy things in a respectful manner prior to having to go to court. Personally I would have kept this a private matter and taken it to court. That way they couldn't claim I caused any financial damage to their company that could count against me in the final ruling. Everything would be handled in writing so that nobody could claim they said something other than what I provided the judge. If a non disclosure was not involved in the final settlement then I'd go public so that others would not have to suffer the same nonsense.
I’d pay crackheads to go and shit all over his car lot everyday 😂
Your patience is off the charts. I personally, would have a lawyer doing EVERYTHING possible to hold B Rouge accountable for this debacle. Good luck, James!
BIG WIN for DDE and Freddy/tavarish for offering the help.
Fwarrrk,Tavarish AND DDE putting out a helping hand.Imagine all 3 channels doing 1 hell of a collab!
You need to sue the company. It’s completely inexcusable to let them get away with this.
100%! 4 years of car depreciation and unusable time, $52,500 spent, and to finally receive the car in abysmal condition compared to when it was dropped off. James is too nice to sue, but it's definitely something i would do in that situation.
My hunch is B-Rouge is an empty bag. Suing only works if they have the ability to pay a judgement. They file Chapter 7 and the judgement is null. Only the lawyers can win here.
Man I need to get into the working on super car business. Getting $52k for breaking a car sounds like a piece of cake. Crazy this happened. Been watching since before the gallardo was sent off and have been waiting to see it back and it’s in this condition. Absolutely take them to court and get them to pay to fix the car. Hopefully James doesn’t have to sell it.
They drove the piss out of it . And stored it for three yrs....it only cost him 53k. Lol.
Idiot
Probably the same Gallardo in the rap videos of the Era rental to rappers for a day.
Right?!? I’d have broke it for wayyyy cheaper
For real. And to think I’ve been breaking my camaro for free
@brandonlm0125 definitely way cheaper!
i really thought it was gonna be so much swearing but i forgot who it was and he did what he did in the best way
I really wanted this video to keep going. I wanted to see more messages n stuff just absolutely slamming this shit shop lmao.
If this was my car, hell woulda been broken loose by the 3rd month lol. Can’t believe you gave them such ease.
