Wonderful story. I had a guards red 1990 928GT back in the day. What a remarkable car. Endless enjoyment.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
All the very best to you and yours!
Great Car Gary only ever seen two ONthe road one being the one you have on your video when I lived in South Africa in Pretoria.Iam big fan of older Mercs and had several.I now own a1991 190e 2.6 sportline . By the way I think the velour interior was more expensive than leather at the time Thanks for all videos
Hi John. You mean the grey one with red leather I had, once owned by Pic Botha? Regards.
This was very fun to watch! The best part was seeing and hearing the man you bought it from when you returned to show him. So very kind of you to take the time to show him and, the way you spoke with him, fantastic. I’m smiled through the entire episode. Excellent job! Ps…I subscribed
Thankyou and welcome to the channel. Some 90 episodes to catch up on and an interesting year ahead! Regards.
What a lovely man can genuinely see how happy he is to get out in his cars again hope you get the chance to take him out on a day trip
Love that shape would be a great cruise on a long road trip
I am not a porsche man but I love the 928 ❤
Did you get to the bottom of what was making the front carpets damp? The a/c has drain tubes running inside the cheeks of the centre console, these get easily blocked and shoving a screw driver up them from the underside usually does the trick
No. Never did and it’s still bone dry. Mystery. Regards.
10:41 Now that's what you call a bonnet stick! :0)
Thank God the cars ok 👍
I love this Jaguar. For me it´s the best looking Jaguar ever built.
I can never understand how you remember how to put it all back together again
The trick is get it back together quickly before you forget!! Regards.
Merry Christmas mate and hope you have a great new year, my heart was literally in my mouth when l seen the slack in that cam belt , that could have ended very badly I would imagine, thanks for another fantastic video, been feeling a bit down lately, I sold my 99 sl500 firemist red metallic, went to a good home though, guy who bought it wanted one because his dad had one when he was growing up, he's shipping it to Argentina, anyway onwards and upwards as that say
All the very best for a fabulous New year!
I’m very impressed with the helicoil tips, thank you.
You’re very welcome. Seasons greetings!
Thank you Gary. Id like to see you wearing some eye protection when your hitting rusty things with a big hammer. Ronnie
What a lovely lady and gentlemen
That's a great car
Poor Tom has really gone down hill. What a lovely gentleman. Well done young Gary you have done a Stirling job .
Excellent video Gary 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Thanks Jimmy. All the best!
Fantastic
Brilliant stuff!
Probably the most human video I've seen on YT. Nice one Gary.
What carb is that gary rochester/ carter?
Solex
@classic.obsession I was thinking of fitting a 750 cfm 4bbl Holly carb on my 76 shadow like i have on my 69 mach1 mustang
SU’s are decent carbs though. Don’t you think? Reliable and easy to set-up. What does your Rolls have at the moment? Regards.
@@classic.obsession the original skinners union
You are an exceptional man. One of life’s true gentleman .Such a wonderful video.
All the best!
I got a 1988 Rolls-Royce Cornishe if I leave the car for four days, it starts leaking brake fluid on the floor on the left-hand side but car brakes fine
It’ll just be one your hoses Steve. Either one that comes from the reservoir or a flexi hose on that side. LHM yes? Put a large sheet of paper under that area overnight and you’ll see exactly where it’s coming from. Regards.
All the best for 2025 Gary,I have really enjoyed all your content,keep up the good work 👍
All the best James!
Merry Christmas Gary and thank you for all the amazing videos. I’ve enjoyed them so much. I have a little 944 I’ve restored over the last 5 years so your videos have given me inspiration to keep going.
Merry Christmas!
Just a beautiful occasion for you all
The story of MY life Gary. Just can't.........
I noticed you had to put on your Ninja outfit to deal with those springs!
Merry Christmas Gary. Thanks for the great content over the last 12 months, really enjoyed it.
Merry Christmas!
Just found your channel Appreciate the calm music.. much more enjoyable
Just 90 to catch up on!! Merry Christmas!
Gary is it not best practice to replace both front or rear shocks at the same time? Merry Christmas!
Probably yes. But one thing at a time!! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Gary! Although you replaced the red sports, hopefully you retained them and can have Koni rebuild them.
Nice video Gary, thanks once again. I think it's great to see Richard allowing the workshops to be accessed and used by Steel City Porsche's employees out of hours. To see the RX7 engine hanging up was a pleasant surprise. It reflects a healthy employer employee relationship. Fair play to them.
Happy Christmas Gary
All the very best to you and yours !
Happy Christmas Gary, thanks opened you for the bonus content on my favourite car you own! It must be a privilege to own it and it's a joy for us to share it with you. What a great event and I'm delighted so many children benefitted. Look on the bright side as you only recently changed the timing belt at least it was fresh in your mind! Still job well done now.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas & a very happy New Year Gary.
All the best!
Great stuff !! Keep at it!! Thank u
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Great watching yourself and other car enthusiast supporting a children's charity at Christmas.
Many thanks for all the wonderful video over the year Gary. Entertaining, involving and educational, all in one. I might fancy a 928 one day, but....no garage or facilities! So no go !!! A Very Merry Christmas with Best Wishes for 2025.
All best!
What've you ordered Gary? 😊
Happy Christmas to u and your family. I hope u all have a happy and safe New Year.
All the very best Kate!
To have a water pump be a tensioner/jockey wheel for a timing belt on an engine like this is such a poor design. That was a close call ! Glad you got it sorted. Great content also.
I'm restoring my Z3, including learning welding, zinc plating all the fasteners, spraying and I'm addicted to restoration channels and you're up there with the best Gary !.. Have a great Christmas !
Yhankyou and all the very best!
Always wanted a Porsche one day who knows a lovely video Gary really enjoyed watching Merry Christmas 🎉
Merry Christmas!
What no fogging oil for men at start up?
What an amazing car. It couldnt have gone to a better home.
Always enjoy your videos Gary, look forward to them, I live in Brisbane Aus but originally come from the Wirral so it’s a highlight when they come through, don’t stop! I drive a weekend 04 black 986 so was delighted when you said you’d owned one. All the best for the new year………
Merry Christmas!
I was wondering if you'd post a video about your mishap! Todd told me about it (he's a friend of mine). Didn't realise you were at the Steel City meet or I'd have made the effort and come in my 1987 928 S4. Merry Christmas, Gary. Hope to finally meet up with you sometime next year.
All the best Andy!
