- In this episode, a lot gets achieved and then unachieved. Things don't always go as planned and this is one of those instances. But, not to worry, we'll be back and the car will be fixed.

Glad to see you’re okay…cars can be fixed or give other cars longer life, but not without guys like you to do it so well. It takes a lot of courage and heart to own such accidents and mistakes; you set an example for all to follow.
Exactly!
Very true..!!
Those cars must be saved from poeple who think its only metal
You resumed everything, he’s ok and that’s the most important part of the equation
He lives & escape unharmed from that unfortunate incident.. life goes on.. people learn from mistakes if they escape safely this car is old but it was so clean project to start with, so i'm confident it will eventually be fully restored because today very few of them are still to be seen on streets.. give her another chance to it's former glory Streten.. is a very cool car..
The fact that the first thing you done was apologizing to the previous owner, shows how important this project was to you. Keep it up, this is just a bump on a glorious road ahead.
Yes, you can feel his pain. He must have used houndreds of hours on this….
I bet he will make it right by rebuilding her in a couple of months
I just discovered your channel 3 days ago while I'm recovering from surgery and I've been binge watching all your videos in order and I have to say I felt sick for you at the end here. Your decency shines through - no blaming others or false excuses. You stood up and took it on the chin. 100% respect man.
Dude my story is similar starting binge watching all the episodes and this one broke my heart 😭
I never thought this channel would leave me shocked and on the verge of tears... Years back I lost control of my e39 on a rainy evening, oversteering into drainage ditch than into a grass median. The DSC wasn't functioning and I thought I could be cocky in my "low powered" 525i. My dignity was shattered and I learned respect for the car. Lucky all it needed was a splash guard and temperature sensor. So glad you made it out okay and decided to restore the car. An honorable move. Keep your chip up, buddy!
Hell I almost crashed yesterday. Was driving some guys and it was cold, dark and wet, and the guy in front of me suddenly stopped to turn. I hit the brakes and the car just slid, I barely stopped milimeters from the guy in front. Old cars are unforgiving, you always need to have that in mind, mine decided to remind me of that fact.
Exact same thing happened to me in my E39 530d and I LOVED that car. Took out a road sign with the back of the car while sliding into the ditch and the insurance company wrote the car off. Lesson learned and I'll never turn off DSC again.
The way you wrote that made me thing the car was a total wreck. And it needed a plastic cover and you bonked a sensor haha.
Lucky.
@@BlueXonar Driving my e30 I've had too many close calls to count, from getting blown into the next lane on the freeway from 30mph wind to commuting back home during torrential rainfall through mountains (It took me an hour and half when it usually took 30 minutes because I was driving 40mph). Very unforgiving vehicles (unless you have a modern bmw with stability control, traction control, and xdrive - those are extremely safe to drive in all weather) in the right conditions they are a blast to drive.
had e30 only a 318i little damp on the road took first exit on a roundabout, 30mph max managed to catch it enough to avoid the curbs and oncoming traffic (may just be luck) but stopped looking at the driver behind me a full 180° towards the way I came.
Haven't seen a tragic ending like this one before. Remember, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Raise your face my friend and move on. You fixed it once and you'll sure fix it again 💪
Haa, look on some aircraft model builders videos.... aircraft crashes can be very violent.
If today someone forced me to only have 1 CZcams channel left and not be able to view anything else. Then honestly I would choose this channel.
The purity, the love for beemers, the passion for technique, the mix of humor, the perfectionism, the stories behind the cars and you, Sreten, as a person makes this my number 1 channel.
Thank you!
M539 everyday, hands down!
The last time I went through episode withdraw this bad for any video: Season 2 of Homeland.
Before that: 24 (season 4)
Before that: Not Applicable/lived with Girlfriend.
I second this
I third this 😄
My heart just broke at the end. Lucky that you walked away without any injury. Sreten you are a legend with a lot of courage. What just happened is a part of life. We fall and rise more stronger and of course you gonna do that my friend.
First time posting Sreten, usually I avoid all of these but I felt I had to leave a note.
I believe I just wrapped up watching all the episodes in your channel today, and somehow finished with this episode of Project Marbais... All that to say:
Thank you for sharing the ugly as well, it reminds me of how real the present is for us all. I felt your pain after all the effort and care invested, a learning experience me as well; glad you were ok.
You are inspiring people and I am a picky one, thanks for that; you have my support. Looking forward to episode 7, chin up, ninja roll and go...
this episode left me speechless. I literally sat down with my mouth open for a minute, cause I did not expect it one bit. Don’t worry dude. It happens to everybody and I know how it hurts, but it’s a part of a gear head’s life. Keep your head up.
Literally sitting here with my mouth gaping wide open!
Watched the scene several times just hoping to see a classic Streten joke/twist with another car we had never seen ... So heartbreaking
Exactly the same happen to me... I am so super sad about this.. 😓
I thought i was the only 1… but the good thing is.. he gets to do more restoration video.. and a major 1 too..we will be waiting..and continue to support as always..
The same!
We can replace the e30 but we cannot replace sreten, very happy you are uninjured and okay!
He can also use this car as a parts donor for another E30.
I can only imagine the pain you bear, I once bought a car I really want for a long time and not even 24h later I crushed it nobody was involved it was just me but the shame and guilt I felt was terrible. Learned a very important lesson the hard way so I know how you feel. Keep your spirit high you are doing amazing work and we are all here to support you even through the toughest times!
Felt the emotion on his voice at the end. Only car enthusiasts can understand the feeling of making a mistake after sinking so much work into a car. At the end of the day its most important you are okay. Can’t be a car guy if you’re dead. Looking forward to the rebuild.
This is one of the moments when all men would cry.. Absolutely heartbroken. I almost cried myself, cannot imagine how you have felt few minutes after.. It literally looked brand new, you did a great job. Unfortunately it is a car that drives not a museum piece and this kind of stuff could happen to anyone. Love your content and wish you the best.
God knows what that was about, I felt a tear coming through, wtf 😳
Seeing Sreten that heartbroken and nearly crying almost made me cry too
For some reason this hit really hard. My dad, rest his soul, had a saying that he got from his driving instructor in the 70s: "it's easier to mend steel than flesh and bones". Glad to see you are fine and respect for owning up to it, I think we all have a lot to learn from that. I hope you know that you have great viewers and that we are gonna watch the rebuilding (and whatever you post for that matter), whenever that may be. Cheers!
It was indeed really sad! To see all the time spent, care and attention to detail end up so soon. Especially considering that at some point he said "I'm afraid to drive this car"... but life goes on, nothing that can't be fixed
@@andersonpostingher119 Gotta listen to your Gut, scientists at Harvard call it the first mind. Should have waited for a dry pristine day to drive that beauty. 20/20 hindsight is how we learn from these mini tragedies in life.
I have just finished watching this project and the ending was heartbreaking. Your incredibly heartfelt and grown-up attitude, and apology to the previous owner is a testament to your character. A very harsh lesson learned, but a lesson that I am sure you will remember and save you from more heartbreak in the future. Most importantly, you are OK.
You already had my respect from watching all the great work you do on this channel. The closing to this episode illustrated you are a man of good character. Glad to see you're unhurt. Impressed to see you own your mistake. I'm confident your viewers do not feel let down. You fix them and you drive them. You don't make garage queens. Be well.
My heart truly broke at the end there. I was waiting for the "ha! Just kidding, it's a donor car" ending and when the video finished I was sat in stunned silence! So sorry for your loss. I'm absolutely gutted for you.
I thought and felt exactly the same!
Watched the whole video like always and at the end I was petrified. Never felt any strong emotion like this on any other video... this shows how much your audience is invested with you in the projects you build. Glad you are safe Sreten!
Same here. Never felt so tense, then utter shock watching a CZcams video before. He handled himself extremely well at the end.
Same here, I really wasn't expecting that end...
A twist M Night Shyamalan would be proud of.
I just finished this video, and all the episodes of project Marbais in a single lazy day. I found your channel yesterday and instantly got hooked. This series and experience was a ride to say the least and excuse the pun. Like many others in the comments I nearly shed a tear too. I know this feeling all too well and can sympathize deeply. "Metal can be replaced but your flesh cannot," keep this in mind when the E30 crosses your mind. Onward and upward. Keep up the good work.
I am sure you have crash footage that even though you know could get you 10x times the views you chose to leave out and this truly shows how much you love and respect what you do. You are building amazing cars but judging by the comment section you also managed to build an amazing community. I know that the E30 will be back soon better than ever.
Thank you so much for making our evenings better Sreten. Happy holidays to you and your family and don’t let this ruin your Christmas. You did good this year.
I don't think anyone needs to see that footage, if it even exists. This was a really hard hit, physically and mentally. No need to rub it in further and have everyone give their 2 cents about it. It's shocking enough as it is.
@@monstermirror2 never said that we need the footage. I said that I really appreciate him not using that for clickbait purposes as would ANY other automotive CZcamsr do.
@@dstd9 Ok, got you.
I think the footage should be shown if it exists, he made a mistake and it's a good way for people to learn not to make the same one. I can't imagine how furious he must feel, it's not even my own car and I'm extremely sad to see it in such a state. It was my favourite on this channel!
Fantàstic job. Unfortunately shit happens, and for the the state of the car, it seems to have been hard. Glad you are OK. Keep on! Cheers!
Now it’s official!
Welcome to the E30 club owners!
What you have experienced is an orthodox E30 ownership experience.
The E30s, that Ultimate Driving Machines, usually bite you in the bottom really hard if you get carried away for a second. I wrecked my E30 after restoring it and building it for 6 years. It’s gone beyond repair. But it will source parts for my next E30. And memory of that car will always warm my heart.
I’m glad you are okay!
I'm glad that you look like not injured!
But the end of this episode was so unexpected....!! Specialy for this type of content. I'm 33 old truckdriver and I shed couple of tears. Realy touched to the core.
Keep going Sreten! That's life. It's happen.
You do such a perfect job on your projects. Adding a professional painter and letting them watch the color is the way you should go IMHO
Wow, didn't see that ending coming. I thought I was going to cry, my eyes welled up! Not about the car, I could see how gutted Sreten was and my sincerest sympathies go out to him. If anyone can bring the car back I'm sure he can. Maybe it's not as bad as it looks. Project Marbais shall live again!
that ending is like a knife straight to the heart, i have no words.. i'm very sorry for the car streten, it was damn beautiful. i'm glad you're not hurt though, stay strong man you're my favourite youtube mechanic
Only someone who ever restored/built/created something, physically, with their own labour, hands and time, can understand that feeling you have.
Didn’t expect an ending like that 😰 it hurts to see it like that when you’ve put so much effort.. as long as you are okay Sreten. Cars come and go. Keep it up💪🏼
Same, I thought the engine broke down, or a head gasket, not a wreck.
But glad he’s ok
@@XavierAncarno yeah me too, I can’t even imagine if that would happen to my 91’ 325i. So heartbreaking..
Not gonna lie, I teared up a little at the end, not what I was expecting. Amazing work as usual, glad you're ok and hope to see it resurrected!
Me too
Glad that no one was injured, you’ll bring the car back better than ever
Way to own it. You do amazing works and she will be as good as new soon. Glad you're not hurt. Except your pride...
I am shocked to the core with that ending.. glad your safe and its life experiences.. I guess from this side of things when things have settled you can repair a crash damaged BMW and add that to your list of skills.. I am sure I speak for all your subscribers, but we will continue watching and supporting your content every step of the way.. the ups and downs and onwards and upwards.. #StaySafeSreten
Honest + Humble he is a Class character! We are all addicted to his perfection and now will be for Life!
What an end of this episode... glad you are okay mate. I know, I am 2 years behind but I am shocked.... You spend so many hours restoring, polishing etc... and in within minutes its gone... wow... 🤕
So sorry that this happened, you must be heartbroken. We’ve all been there and we know how bad it feels.
Glad you’re ok, don’t beat yourself up too badly. Have a good holiday & Xmas…
Damn... the second i saw word "Unfortune" and then the car i felt like i crashed it. Don't beat yourself too much. Most of us had moments like this. Cheer up :)
So true, I thought I learned by doing it once, but guess what, I have been through this 3 times now. The character is demonstraded by fully owning the "mistake". Whatever... sh** happens, all the way along...
@@hendrikvanderidder Class act + Dutch roads are very slippery when wet. Zandvoort is a tricky track too!
Oh man, so sorry. E30s are wicked unpredictable in the wet. Glad you're fine. The car hopefully will live again.
Nooooooooooooooo!!! Man Im happy you are ok. Any consolation we all do it. Shame it was after so much work. Impressed that you stepped up owned it, acknowledged it and will fix it. Big pat on the back from this end. Head up and move on. Cheers.
Almost cried at the end.. You've put so much effort in this car and we, your community, shared all the feelings during the restoration as like we were standing right beside you all the time. Hopefully you're not injured and safe. Car can be fixed, but health is a much more complicated and much harder to fix. Stay strong, friend! We are with you!
The ending resonated strongly with all of us, we are as invested in these cars as you in some way. We’re all truly glad you’re ok, since that’s the most important part. You handled your apology like a true gentleman. And let’s be honest here, if theres anyone who’s able to bring back this car back, its you. Take care, take all the time you need and happy holidays!
U wrote my thoughs!
Well said
Oh, man. I'm so sorry. And so glad you're OK. I half expected The Evil Twin™ to pop out and say it was just a joke. You have a huge crew of fans who 100% support you.
That hurts me. As a full time vehicle manufacturer and dad I somewhat live vicariously through you as I don't have time to give my vehicle much attention. Catching your videos occasionally is about all I have time for. We all hurt this episode but we are all so glad your alright 👍
Don't know this guy except through his videos but my heart is absolutely breaking for him. I know he'll make it right, and that he has the tools to do so, but it was also evident in all the parts in this series how much the car meant to him. Take care, try to enjoy your holiday, and we'll see you on the other side!
Absolutely, literally crying at the end of this one. Staten, you put so much love and care into everything you do on/for this channel, and as a dedicated BMW enthusiast and subscriber I know the pain. I wrecked a 1989 325ix in alpine white and to this day haven't been able to fully forgive myself. Fingers and toes crossed that there isn't any frame dammage. Unfortunately carbon fiber towels can't fix everything. Neither can duct tape. In the near future i want to become a Patreon subsciber so that I can be in the mix of people who support the channel in times like these. You do amazing work and you have let no one down! Every time!!!..., A thumbs up for you my friend. Keep up the great work. I love your channel to death! Cheers.
...what he said. *crying*
watching you from hospital in the uk whilst being treated for covid...its a channel i never tire of watching. its admirable the retorations you do to the bmws you save/redeem and its like watching art as you carry out the work you do. you clearly love what you do and that shines through in your videos. i know you cant save every bmw but youre giving it a good try one video at a time!!!
I could cry after watching this build, I feel for you man, at least you’re safe. Keep up the amazing work and all the best, can’t wait for future videos.
Sreten you’re a brilliant mechanic and restorer and you’ve poured your heart and soul into that car which is why everyone will forgive you, just don’t forget to forgive yourself at some point.
OMG, that was an unexpected ending to a fantastic episode 😩 I’m confident you will make it like new again!
Pretty dramatic ending. Watched this before sleeping and tiny 😱 giggles moment at the end, since it's old stuff that wasn't that shocking as recent would've been :) This look was a perfect reminder for what the cars did look like for when I was a kiddo since they were all pretty high 😇
I wish I could add pictures: I had a very similar situation with my e30. Bought a pristine 1991 325iS in 2004. Nine days later a lady ran a stop and I T-boned her car. No one was injured but the police officer thought I was, because I was just sitting and crying on the curb out of frustration and broken dreams. I fixed it and it's still with me as of this day! This one won't buff out, but with your talent, knowledge and attention to detail, it'll be good as new. If someone can do it, it's certainly you Sreten!
As much as I appreciate the incredible attention to detail, the impeccable editing and the general excellent delivery and humour of Sreten’s videos, I might just appreciate the consistent use of 80’s movie montage music even more 🙂
Edit: sorry to see how this ended. If anyone can fix this beautifully, you can, and we’ll be here with you all the way!
better to have some time for part 7, and let the whole lesson sink in for all of us...
you are a brilliant mechanic, very careful owner but it happens to everyone and anytime don't get too attached with the cars you own and work on, I know it might not seem consistent with the work you do but take it as this: your, your family's and also another creatures' lives are not even comparable with all of these cars... the important thing is you and your psychological well being.
we do have a saying all comes and all goes, this will also go.
End of the video can be a good lesson for anyone saying they want “an old car” or complaining that “cars have too much electronic assistance these days”.
First time I sat in my uncles old GTI MK1 I thought was “hot s#it”. After two long curves and almost driving in to an old water drainage tunnel…I understood what it means to drive “cars from the old days”. How much respect and care you need to give them when driving.
Glad to see you alive but also glad that you are man enough to admit that this hurt your ego and you feel like you learned a lesson. :)
Mistakes happen, what is important is to learn and never forget them. Less you want to repeat them.
I'm speechless. But the most important thing that you didn't get hurt.
Hopefully you'll be able to bring it back and we'll get to see your work as always!
Being honest with that mistake was the biggest thing you did with this unfortunate mishap. You didn't just lie to viewers or vanish anywhere, you stood there, said apologies and kept your cool. We all give you applaudes for that and wish all the best, you'll get this one fixed!
Man…no words. Great job with the car. So very glad you are ok. I’ve learned a lesson like that myself. Sucks but I am sure with your determination it will be back. Cheers, sir.
I did NOT see that coming. I was shocked speechless.
The one positive thing I’m left with after watching the end of this vid is how you handled it. Like a man!
Lesser people, take notes.
The wheels just set the car off perfectly. It was the one thing the car was missing, It looks phenomenal. Your attention to detail is second to none. Gutted about the ending. Hope you get back on the road soon. Glad you are ok.
That sadness in your eyes speaks for itself, you are the man, lesson learned, and you move on, I've owned 8 e30's since 2010, and had accindent with my favourite one, can't wait for ressurection. Keep it up, bro !
Ha classic, any second now he’s going to step to the side and show the mint E30 next to this smashed donor… any second…
🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
That hurt. I feel for ya.
nope !
Geoffrey - where’s the new videos? We’ve been missing you!!!
Almost cried when I saw the car. I had an 86 320i that went through the same accident, it even brought memories back.
Man that ending was heartbreaking :( Stuff happens to the best of us. Love your attitude and look forward to seeing her back on the road. I know it would be 100% perfect. Keep up the amazing work man.
I NEVER comment on CZcams, but felt compelled to, given your 'mishap'.
Absolutely gutted for you, all that hard work, patience, commitment to detail, undone in seconds. Glad you're OK, but genuinely felt bad when I saw you standing in front of the car at the end. Chin up, move forward. Keep up the great work, one of the best CZcams channels out there.
Wow, that ending pretty much broke me. :( As an E30 owner myself, I can feel the pain through the screen! You did such an amazing job with this car throughout the series, it looks like new! Dude, keep your head up, you'll fix it and make it even better!💪
You are soooooooo HONEST .
Very big RESPECT !
As you said ,these things can happen.
You are always giving everything when you are working at your cars, so please don´t be to angry with yourself .
Take your time to swallow your anger and then ,if you are in the mood, fix the E30 .
Best wisher for Christmas and have a perfect new years evening
Since a couple of weeks I’m watching your video’s, today I came to this episode. Glad you’re ok, cause I love the video’s. I also have a remembrance somewhere in 1989 when my best friend drove his brothers 324d m sport. On a wet road in a flip of a second we slipped 180 degrees. Nothing happened, no crash. But it learned us a lot about rearwheel drive.
The music during your vacuuming session was perfect… Like an angel. And then it ran into late 80s synth chunk. 😆
Who else almost cried about what happened? Glad to see you are ok sreten.. I hope you can fix it. I’m recommending your channel to all of my bmw loving friends
Was in shock when I seen it.
Man, the end of the video was quite a shock. Glad you're fine and that you don't make drama out of it. These things happen and are very painful. Lot's of courage with this!
Heartbreaking stuff after such an excellent restoration!
My deepest sympathy for the damage on the beautiful E30. This was definitely a fantastic detailed restoration and the E30 will come back!
I'm actually shedding a few tears right now! Literally. The most important thing is that you're OK! Cuz if you weren't, I'd be balling my eyes out! Literally! Don't let it bring you down! Shit happens! Keep bringing us the AWESOME content!
I fully agree with every single word and with every ounce of the same emotion.
My jaw literally dropped twice:
1. The finished result
I learned not to mess on the roads at an early age, the hard way like you did. I hope it made me a better driver.
Hi Sreten. You don't even know how important to me is your message here and in episode 7. I crashed my beloved Jag XJ yesterday, 50m away from my garage door. Hit a lampost and then a tree. Doing 40km/h. My Jag is very hurt, as much as my pride. I don't know if I will be able to fix it, but I'm definitely going to try and own my mistake here and learn from your attitude. Thank you.
You haven't let anyone down! We all make mistakes, we all feel for you, we all proud of you.
Love the Coach Taylor from Friday Night Lights aspect of this
duude! your reaction about the accident is just awesome. It's must hurt as hell, but you owned it like a champ! I want to learn from that. This is how you respond to your mistakes!
I'm really looking forward to part 7 ;)
Glad to see you are not hurt. Life throws a curved ball every now and then. You’re doing the right thing, acknowledge it, own it, learn and move on. As a guy of a certain age I can say with some experience, there will be other moments in your life that cause you to pause and take stock, this is only training for the rest of your life. Good luck my friend. Go spend some time with your loved ones.
Again, great work Sreten... Oh no! I started writing this comment just before the end. Still great restoration work on the car, and encouraging to see you step up and own the heartbreaking mishap. I still think the biggest home goal I can recall, is a guy that drove home from the pub with four of his mates. Driving aggressively into his own street and braking hard and late to stop outside his house; he ran into the backend of his second car parked outside. Significant damage to both of his toys, his pride and reputation. Your mishap is at least an honest mistake on a slippery road, in a car that your not familiar with, and no run off room available to correct the understeer.
42:50 Thank you for showing us the reality.
I was looking at the final shots, and honestly thinking: "I want to restore my dream car. But than, what if I crash?! All my money and effort would go away".
And then, BAM! I was slapped on my face with reality.
I feel for you, not only because you spent a lot of hours working and researching for this project; but also because you share all that with us, which makes it even more difficult.
Nevertheless, we are here for you, and we will continue to support you.
Cheers mate!
Oh my... First I was happy to hear that you're getting a shifter knob from Latvia. But the end made me almost tear up.
Happy that you're ok. Best wishes.
Ouch!!! So sorry for your pain. At least you are fine. Look forward to you restoring the E30 to its glory again. And we will sure to follow you along the way.
Glad to hear the only injury seems to be to your pride. Please don't beat yourself up too badly over this. It's a tough lesson to be learned but may help keep you safe in the future. It makes you appreciate some of the safety features like ABS, traction control, air bags & modern tires in today's automobiles.
I just found your channel a few weeks & have already watched 40 or 50 episodes. You've got me looking at want ads for a used BWW.
Streten you have one of the best channels in youtube and M539 is growing like crazy. You are a soluton oriented guy so don´t spend too much time punishing yourself (it´s completly useless). I never used Patreon but give me a chance and I will make my contribution to support u in this "small" mishap. Thanks to God you are OK, God bless u and Merry Christmas Brother.
I was waiting about 2 o 3 days the famous "cooooming up", neve ever suspect an ending like this... i put my hands on mi head like Macaulay Culkin at Home Alone and instantly think "Ok, he is fine, the metal can be fixed... but his car-loving soul must be so or more shattered". Maybe now you have a reason to enter the world of body repair. In any case, you have a community that supports you and loves your work. Here we are, you can count on us.
Sreten, Happy season holidays! Thanks for all your work and passion on these old BMW’s. We all enjoy all your videos, where your mechanical skills are clearly demonstrated. The best for you and your family in 2022!
Unfortunate as the situation is, your positive demeanor will grow the channel beyond your expectations. Best of luck, cheers
You deserve the utmost respect for how you handle this situation. It must have been hard, stepping in front of the camera and sharing this with us. I, if that counts for anything, feel humbled and inspired to try and be a little more like you in these kinds of situations. What a legend. Thank you.
Glad you're in one piece and live to fight another day. Never surrender!
Aw mate I’m heartbroken for you. So proud of the way you owned it. The sadness in your eyes was tangible. Feel bad for you. Chin up. What you do is amazing and gives us viewers such happiness.
Exact same thing happened to me in my E30 first time it rained. Glad you're okay - hope to see the E30 content back soon.
"It's just a car"... but no it isn't. I shed a tear for you, brother. Glad you're in good shape and looking forward to seeing this gem come back together. God bless!
So sorry to see the accident after such a loving resurrection. However, we all make mistakes, and as you said, a lesson was learned. I’m glad no one was hurt, except your pride. The car can be rebuilt when you’re ready.
Not a better way to respond to such heartbreak. You’re a strong man and glad you’re ok
Man, you are an example to us all! Thank you for the openness of sharing the good and the bad with us. It is a pleasure to walk these adventures with you. All the best!
We all make mistakes, we're all just human after all. The important thing is that nobody got hurt, as stuff can always be replaced.
Just see it as a learning opportunity and don't beat yourself up for it, shit happens ;)
Hey computers does it too
But a rust free first owner e30 coupe, thats a rarity nowdays
I remember when i crashed my car for the first time, felt like everything i knew was worthless, but its not, the sad gloomy feeling will be replaced with a “you moron” feeling pretty soon and youll feel better, the difference between the two events is… you will fix the car right back up, and learn to appreciate it even more
HI SRETEN. SO SORRY FOR THE ACCIDENT FOR IT NEVER TELLS YOU WHEN OR HOW IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I COMMEND YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK AND COMMITMENT THAT YOU DEDICATE TO ALL OF YOUR CARS. TAKE IT EASY, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND VIDEOS THAT WE ALL ENJOY WATCHING. KEEP WRENCHING BUDDY.
So glad you're ok. I'm sure you'll be able to buff that out in no time with your awesome skills. I always enjoy your videos and the end of this one made my jaw drop to the floor. I look forward to more of Project Marbais. Best wishes and happy holidays to you and thanks for all you do.
The retrowave music on this channel makes it that more special 😎 Main thing Sreten is that you're alright 👍 The E30 can be fixed 👍
Yeah, but in the end it doesn't fit this time.
I have tears in my eyes. Stay strong and turn back on. You are not alone.
I was so surprised with the ending. Don't be sad, we love you :(
dude... you just broke my heart on too many levels I cannot even find the words....
since the video is already old and I was just watching the old ones I missed due irl stuff happening in my life, I knew you were ok looking at the new vidz. but now this... almost in tears for the end of this saga.
