      Def a fan of the Canada squad. Big fan of Mike though like him better than Dean and others even though Dean was cool. I just feel like Dean was really more into it for himself, I could def see why they don't work with each other anymore plus he wasn't producing on the track which was the whole point.

  • @pmg9899

    Damon was explaining about why they stop working with certain shops. I would say if he is being honest with shops about what he expects from that shop and it doesn't work for those shops then Damon moves on ..... I wouldn't call it burning bridges. Damon seems to be a no BS guy - its refreshing to see someone like this . OHHH Dave is cool too!!

    • @yanzn5926
      @yanzn5926 Před rokem +1

      he did explained it many2 times already, ppl just being pssy and make it personal to blame damon for burning bridges while its just all business at the end.

  • @mariondarrellmay143
    @mariondarrellmay143 Před rokem +2

    $Custom work filming$ Big fan, 61 year old car guy. Suggestion for your shop builds, you could set up high quality surveillance type cameras around the equipment used by Mike, run into a recording system. You could have them start when the building is unlocked in the morning, that way nothing would be missed ?
    Hope to possibly come down to meet all of you one day. Thanks

    @Lifewiththeredmons Před rokem +1

    You do know that that new bumper on your van if he ordered it and it was shipped came folded in half and he had to heat it to get it straight I do body work and when we order stuff like that a lot of times the factory will send it folded into and you have to heat it up and get it back straight sometimes you can just lay it out right in the Sun and it will go back to original shape the first time I seen it tripped me out!!! Anyway love the car it's coming along! Essa is doing an amazing job!!!

  • @theemrtaco
    @theemrtaco Před rokem +31

    might be annoying or expensive but an idea is maybe get scans of the parts youre worried about breaking that are impossible to find. That way worst case scenario, you have the scans to get replicas made

  • @jamesmac7127
    @jamesmac7127 Před rokem +1

    Sure you thought of this already, but should have Marc(k?) set up the build section of the shop with cameras mounted around so when the drift king is doing fab you can have b,c,d rolls on hand

    Was thinking about it, it would be really cool to see a few stationary cameras around the shop while mikes working, would help a with the camera operators not being able to be there all the time too, you would be able to capture everything and the Timelapse would be simple, just a thought

    @SOMEMOREXD Před rokem +3

    for the shop you can chat with your camera guys and workout a layout to stick cameras around the shop from different angles, strap a mic on mike so any time he wants to talk about what hes doing he can for example look at the camera on his work bench and explain to us the process, this idea would require alot of testing to see what angles and view points work but i think would be a good idea overall and kinda automate the process a little. ps editor might be pissed

Driving across Rannoch Moor and on through Glencoe for the first time is pretty epic. I'm sure James can tell you all the best spots too. If you're taking the 550, I'd probably remove the front splitter first....or the roads here will!
