    Lenny is a really nice guy. One time I was out for drinks in a random Sydney suburb, and I had posted earlier in the Daihatsu group desperately searching for brake pads for my L200 mira. nek minut Lenny's driving in the middle of the night to deliver them to me, free of charge - while im plastered from a night on the piss. Absolutely a generous and kind hearted man.

    I've been watching the show since the early days, and I love how you use the same songs for certain situations.

      No they weren't, I've been watching these guys since Marty's very first liberty build( also the reason why I bought a 2002 GT legacy like 10 years back) ANYWAYS,
      They use interim music for specific scenes and that are never released for full songs. Which in my opinion, some of the songs I'd keep on repeat or splice them together because they are SOOO GOOD.

    I recently had to go to site for 3 and a half weeks. Before leaving, I got hold of seasons 3, 4 and 5 of MCM, loaded the dvds onto my phone and watched them on the planes and with my evening meals, after 13hr days- just keeping that smile on my face. I also got to watch Moog's story, on MCM2- smiles, tears, the works. But I suppose what's profound is there's been this transition, where I've been watching the old stuff- you two on a drive way, saying "Rick loves it"- and now my scenery has changed, I'm back home with my wife, watching the new stuff, but you are both still going strong on the Daihatsus, talking about the Blue Turd, but now you have a hoist. I was just watching the story of the Blue Turd!
    Kinda crazy timing. Love the continuity and how the show is staying true to its roots. You guys rock.

      I was a lucky man to find an L701 with only 30k miles and no rust back in 2020.
      "The Little Dipper" is white and has been my daily for the last 3 years. Lowers springs for 1.5 inches of an arch gap and 175 Falken all-seasons make is stable when near it's top speed 😉🫡

    I’d love to see a vid on how to source and specify shocks and springs for your car. Like what’s universal, what’s car specific what’s too cheap, what’s too expensive etc

    Gotta say: that home made music makes the absolute best montage music 👌😍

    Marty I am sorry, I love you dearly as well... BUT MOOG, Blair... your soundtracks transform the everyday mechanical montage into a truly metaphysical experience. I will proudly display my framed miss daisy poster in my new home. It arrived a couple days after my current house burned entirely. I am keeping it safe in the great packing tube you sent. One of my soot smudged fingerprints is on the edge and it will make it mine.

    Nice work guys, almost just like what you guys did with the Golf a few years back. How to make me like a piece of crap. 😀
