@@paulchristopherriley7503 Cheers Paul 🍻 😎👍

@@paulchristopherriley7503 Thanks Paul 👍

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 If while driving back up Route 66 you can take the road to Ouray Colorado it would make for great video. except not now in the winter! Cheers.

@@paulchristopherriley7503 Thanks Paul, I'm a bit limited on what music I can add as most is copyright and thus as I make at my own expense and don't get paid anything as I only have 400 subscribers (and many thanks to those good folk), I'd be well out of pocket. If you know any good copyright free tracks in the TH-cam library, let me know and I'll use. I have another video coming out tomorrow as I am just finishing off now. If I pull my finger out I might get a second related one out on Saturday or Sunday. Rancho Cucamonga our next stop. My Dad would have loved your choice by the way, he was a Sax player, I have his old 1947 Conn Mk10 Naked Lady . Many thanks for your comments Kind regards Johnny 👍

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 i thought music over fifty years old was free. Sorry buddy. I'll play those tunes while watching yall anyway. Cheers.

Sounds Excellent NetWit20, The good old Mk1 MG midget, funny as I too bought one in 81, a non runner, took a lot of work but had it on the road August 1982, ran it as my everyday for years. Never was able to part with the toy and thus still drive it. Like you I love the old BMC A series engines, I'm a big fan of them. Enjoy your Mini and many thanks for your comments. All the best Johnny 👍

@@jmsjms296 Yes I have to say I was amazed that in 5000 miles on road we saw so few classic cars driving on the roads, plenty of rusting non runners. In the next one we should meet up with a guy in another MG Midget, who drove 3 hours to meet us.

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 Here in Switzerland we regularly/daily come across cars aged from 10-40 years... And they're running. Good thing!

@@paulchristopherriley7503 Thanks Paul it was certainly lots of places I'd never been. I'd not ever been to the States before. With hindsight I wish we had spent more time in LA and the beach area sightseeing. Just got a short time at the pier. But as we drove from Kentucky up to Chicago and then tried to find as much original Rt66 as we could going to Santa Monica, then driving back to Missouri and then back to Kentucky, I think I got to see lots. Thing I enjoyed most was the folk we met were so friendly and warm.

@@paulchristopherriley7503 October 2022 Paul, I took so much video it's taking me age's to edit it all. Many thanks for your questions and comments

@@chrispat7579 Much appreciated Chris wish we'd meet you on the trip 👍

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 - I had an H-reg Mini 1000 which was a blast. I could run it hard and yet most around never noticed. Now a friend had a C-reg Mini that they had dropped a 1300 in. He took me on the A45 one night over 100. Nothing like a hundred mile an hour shoebox.

@@chrispat7579 Hi Chris it is a standard Mk3 Midget with 1275cc A series engine 1973 and is Jim's car he lives just outside Hopkinsville in Kentucky. Mine sadly had to stay home in Britain, Jims beats mine in, youth, engine size and his longest recent journey was 5000 miles whilst my 64 1098cc has only done 1500 miles, though did do it in 10 days rather than six and a bit weeks 🤣👍. Always appreciate a comment many thanks Chris 😎👍🍻

Many thanks for comment and a fantastic State from what I saw. Great folk too 👍

Thanks for that Jim said his was a 45/46 haven't checked the link you put in yet, but thanks for that. So I am guessing they went out of business as soon as the war ended in 1945 a bit like Sopworth over here did at the end of the First World War, suddenly lots of stock and no market.

Have you been talking to my wife 😂

@@sbaliensarereal Always worth going to Steven if ever you get a chance to go, it's well worth it and look out for my friends Jeep with the RAF flag and say hello 👍 All the best Johnny

Many thanks 👍

From my past experience I fear you may be right 🤔😅👍

@@paddycable1723 Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be

@@Berry-fr5wj You're totally right a day without laughter is totally wasted 👍

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 👍

Who is excluded?

@ it was a failed attempt at humour 😁

Haha yeah I wear my arsenal poppy but mine definitely looks better 😂👍🏻... Hopefully see you next year at the 1940s due in sheringham I will mention to you if I see you about your spurs poppy so if you meet someone talking about it it will be me seeing if you remember 😂😂 I will bring you a arsenal poppy . Take care buddy be good to see your jeep in person

Who

5 million of them fought on the Allied side in WW2, and 1 and a half million died so I guess they have as much right to be there as you.

Really is there any need , for that observation! Why can’t you just enjoy the spectacle without being divisive.

Well that might be the case in WW1 or 2. but they making a mess of every country now

Difference is the Muslims back then were completely different to the ones we have now And thats the Elephant in the room , They were proud to be part of the British empire Nowadays sadly they just about loathe everything that's British Anyway great video Me and my dad spent best part of 40 years. Doing Roofing flat Roofing, tile and slate roofing building works on alot of the old run down barns We worked in HOLT. , IN SHERINGHAM , IN CROMER. and around the odd surrounding villages, You get to know all the rich people and poor people I say. Poor people because you realise how poor we all are to some of those land owners in North Norfolk How the locals were annoyed about rich folk buying all the property up And leaving nothing left for the locals and even if property came available the rich had pushed the price of property up so high Well you get the picture, I remember doing a big property up in the centre of HOLT THIS IS going back 20 years Personally I don't have a problem about pigment of skin Anyway I was on the scaffolding and I noticed all the main high street. Cars. And people on the footpaths had all because stationary Thinking what's going on There i see a black postman And I was truly shocked to see most of HOLT stopped in there tracks Here's the twist, 3 days later A big burly trans with a heavy morning shadow wearing a pretty dress walking through busy HOLT No one battered one eyelid It always makes me laugh 😆 Sadly my dad passed away just before Christmas last year and he was ee well known for FLAT ROOFING in NORTH NORFOLK Please everyone give a thumbs up great video

Air raids, rationing, fear of invasion, going to school to find a classmate was missing due to last nights raid, being evacuated to live with strange people in a place you didn't know...golden age😅 My Dad as a young teenager had to cycle into the Lincolnshire fens to deliver War Office telegrams to parents and wives. Don't think I'd swap my Sixties childhood for that personally. I'm sure lots of good things too And you are right about politicians generally, not sure of the likes of Oswald Mosley

Many thanks Bob, very glad you enjoyed it part two comes out tomorrow 👍

Now I might be biased as I'm from that area, but that is one of the best airbase visits I've done. Both the tower and SHQ are more than worth visiting. Go if you get a chance Bod 👍

It was a grand day out Michael most interesting and of course great company makes all the difference 👍

@@jasonlane6047 Thanks for coming Jason sorry I didn't have time to speak to you and Ruth, I wanted to introduce Ruth to Paul Hindle our chief volunteer.

A great bit of filming Johnny, and a fantastic day too.

@@tedecker3792 When I grow up I'd like an E type but might need a lottery win to 👍

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 I thought mine in neglected condition in 1975 for nine hundred dollars. It was a 63 roadster. Spent a year fixing it up in my mom’s garage. Painted it a Toyota dealership where I was a body man.

Good old 1275cc Mk3, lovely engine. I think they are all good, you can only smile when driving one of these go karts on a nice day

@@elymental You're the girl to do it, too many classic car owners, simply don't have the trust or confidence in these old work horses. The way you threw your Midget with the K series engine around that track, you definitely have what it takes.... If you can only do a bit of the Rt Then Arizona has to be my favourite, California near AZ excellent, Pan handle of Texas, Lovely bits on whole of route, but for a long good run Arizona hard to beat. Spring or Autumn best times for Brit tolerable weather. Jim and me close to our best by dates, you've plenty of years in your tank... So do it but do it in a classic as you won't be likely to see another actually being driven: Plenty on drive ways and parked.

Totally agree with you Robert and you only put these toys away when your mum calls you in for tea 😅👍

Small world Millie is our bruch club mascot. Have to say Milly with her K series must be a wonderful drive. All the best and thank you for all your comments

The same to you elymental a brilliant name by the way, I'll celebrate having a West Yorkshire supporter with a pint of Ossett ale this evening 👍 Good friends and a good drive in old cars, always a good day out. Thanks for commenting

When you're over delivering a software sales seminar sometime Russ, we'll recreat the run with a few less wrong turns 😅👍

Many thanks for commenting, yes always a day I enjoy, good friends and driving old cars, what could be better 😎👍

Hope you got it back OK Emma and very grateful for the loan 😅👍. When's your next video out, I very much enjoyed the two wheels on the ground and skiding sounds as those two tyres kept hold... Personally I am expecting to see you on the track at Cadwell sometime (me watching of course rather than racing). All the very best and thanks for comments 👍

Hi Steve, I did mean to contact you and haven't forgotten, but not had much time due to other things. Do you have a regular club night anywhere as would like to met other like minded locals. I hadn't planned to go to Stody

I liked the slight differences of opinion as to the correct route - as you say, it gives us a chance to see other cars. And the 1098 sounds fine!

😂 The scenic route was most interesting Emma and if OK the next one will include a little bit of K series engine swap 👍

National Dave Day is the 3rd Wednesday of every month in the year preceeding Halleys Comet. I've marked it down as important to film...Hope that helps 👍

Each to their own Timothy and obviously the Frogeye 🐸 couldn't have been too disappointing or you wouldn't have purchased the Mk3 Midget.... MX5 certainly a fun car with aspects of the Midget, but modern comfort and reliability. Hopefully out in My Midget today with a smile on my face, loving every minute of it as I have for a long time... My only issue getting out is becoming harder 😅👍 Have a great day Johnny

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 At 72 I find getting IN and getting OUT equally difficult these days.

Have to say if I got the chance to do it again your choice of a 66 Mustang would be perfect 👍 Hoping my next look trip will be Rt66 Slovakia and Czech Republic...Thanks to some young Slovakians we met in a desert gas station

Many thanks Christopher much appreciated

Love your story Simon and both cars have my engine of choice, I love the 1098cc A series. Two great cars you have there. Am I right in thinking some Moggy's were built in Australia 🤔

Hi Jimmy, My first car was a Morris Traveller, like yours it had green moss growing in the rear window gutters, due to the drainage holes being clogged up. Spent my summer resurrecting it, that was back in 77, in 2017 I got myself another, which I am in the process of fully restoring at the minute. Once I've done I plan some long trips and never restoring another car 😅👍

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 that sounds like a fun project. My dad's car had holes in the floor through which we could see the road passing under us. Patches welded on over the final few years of it's life kept falling off.

Sounds like when I get mine back on the road Simon (about a year, as I am doing a lot on it, so having to use the Midget at the moment, which I also love), if you live in the UK we need to take it for a spin, do a nostalgia video. My first car was a Moggy Traveller in 1977, it had been my Uncles, I sold it and bought the MG Midget that I still have. However, I did like the Moggy and had great adventures in it, so in 2017 I purchased another Traveller, drove it from Stoke to Norwich on the day I picked it up, took it up to tye Highlands of Scotland the following Summer, the Ardennes in 2019 year, then in lockdown decided to tart it up, mistake as I took the timber frame off and made a big job of it. But once back on the road it will be adventure time. Hopefully will do Rt66 Slovakia in it, plus many shorter trips👍. A lottery win and I could do it next month 🤣👍 Many thanks for your Subscription very much appreciated 👍

Many Thanks, I'll let Jim know as it was/is his car, we used, he's in Hopkinsville Kentucky, so not close but you never know. Spoke to Jim and he is interested Here's his email jimbravard@gmail.com And I love your Frogeye Sprite 👍

No sense of adventure mate 😂

Jolly old day`s.

Many thanks DoubleZero. That sounds like an excellent perfect trip, if only I had the finances I could totally agree with your plan. At the moment I'm waiting for enough subscribers for TH-cam to start paying me something, then I'll start with the odd coffee and work my way up to a nice bit of American iron 🤣👍. Enjoy the cars you have and have a great day Johnny

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 I know that feeling, it’ll certainly help when there’s something coming in from TH-cam, parts for mine are all so expensive lol

@@DoubleZeroGarage Having looked at your channel, yours are definitely more exotic than mine 😅👍but hope we both do ok subscribers wise. As TH-cam started putting ads on my videos a while, I feel payments even pennies would be nice. All the best Johnny 👍

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 mine might be more exotic, but thankfully due to their age, they’re still as simple to work on as yours are lol. I agree, even pennies would be nice. Fingers crossed we both do well eventually

Fair enough oil burner ...I must try harder ..have a lovely weekend and any suggestions on music from the youtube library would be greatly appreciated... Naff music only at start and finish. It was mostly engine noise, if you didn't watch it all try going to 6 minutes in 👍
