So proud of my Uncle Lee and the girls for their amazing creation. So surreal to see them reach some heights of stardom and for the car to be turned into a Hot Wheels model, I know Lee still can’t believe it either! Can’t wait to get my hands on several models! Well done to Uncle Lee and everyone involved ❤️
You guys should do a cheap car challenge and race in a class called sportsman ET. Your allowed any car that runs slower than 12s, its bracket racing meaning you give a time in and have to run as close to that time as possible
As a Swede, you might think I would find making a gasser out of a Volvo P1800 to be more than a little blasphemous - but I could not approve more! I always felt the regular P1800 was the most "beige" of all supposed-to-be sports cars, a car for people who turned mentally 80+ the on their 30th birthday. It needs all the extra oomph it can get - well done Lee for making it actually cool!
Love it, guys a character and doing 10sec quarters is no joke (seeing they have now hit the 9's) I love that he has his girls involved and they are all just out there having fun and spending time together, it's great.
I have seen this car in images from time to time and off cause as that die cast. but I have always been a bit sceptical of it cause I own an 1800 and absolutely love the cars by all my heart so seeing one modified like this just made me hope that it wasn't a nice example that was chopped up to make this one. but now, after seeing the before photo will I say that I absolutely love this build. he brought one back to life with his own take on it and I love that!
I found a few of the hot wheels of this car, and its so cool to have in the collection, definitely a good winner. Even though this model of car wasnt used in the era of gassers being made, like the bel airs, novas, willys, it fits so well and seems like it did have its place in the NHRA looking back in the videos from the 60s.
Have the diecast hanging on my wall, thing of beauty and the gasser style are rather quick on the booster tracks as well if they don't flip off being top heavy, the bronze Mad Mouse 62 corvette gasser was suprisingly fast on track as well.
Good ole p1800!! Love it! You actually bought the v70 of Michal, my mate. :D That was interesting! I got a volvo xc70 and a 1981 volvo 242 DL that i am building into a restomod nonsense Stupid Street car that i document on my tube here too... Have fun gents!
What a guy! With his socks, sandals, missing teeth and West-country accent, it seems like Lee would be at home displaying his prize broad beans at the village fete. Just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover.
love the car! So glad he won the awards, Love the fact that his daughters are involved. I can't even get mine interested in hot wheels. Shane, we didn't get a walk around. There was some really other cool cars. There look like a fiesta super sport and Escort behind.

I want his shirt so bad!! I’m a diehard volvo fan and I think it’s great he turned this into a gasser!! Performance Volvos rule!! Edit: I have a hot wheels buying addiction, specifically for the Volvos. Every time I spot them in the store (usually the gasser) I HAVE to get them and give them to some of my family and friends who are also volvo fans
We need you guys do more drag racing stuff! You could get in braket racing drags.... Were power is not the key factor... And driver skills and strategy are the key.
Not really my thing usually but still an engaging video looking at someone's creation and their workmanship. Also like the look of the silver mk1 Xr2 next to it.
I can't wait to get the hotwheels when it comes out to add to my other gassers I'm still waiting on the new 62 corvette gasser hotwheels has coming out as well
I hope they do it in hot wheels premium car culture real riders with all the bells and whistles. A proper British fellow pottering around the shed makes the best of the British which is truly mist a pint for the little misters and their sheds.✌🏻🇬🇧✌🏻.

After he replaced the diff, Lee went 9.96s at 134.97MPH. Into the nines!😀
that a new record for him !
That's awesome, where can I find his youtube channel if he has one?
@@Crispe1Official see if there's a facebook page for the car, or for the drag strip they were at
Thank you for posting this information, but how hard would've it been to also post a link or source?!
@@Mandarin9900 Some channels have the comment's section set up to automatically delete comments with links in them.
The P1800 Silhouette is perfect for this! Never seen one as a gasser before. Cool dude, cool family, cool car...
Cheers!!

Some sort of CCC involving racing would be cool.
Indy 500 bump day vibes

And the guys wearing socks and sandles, what a baller
Lol
🤣🤣
I want to give it a like, but it’s at 69, and my immaturity and namesake keep me from giving you a like. Sorry fam
what is with u foreigners wearing sandals and socks 🤦♂️
My dad - Lee Johnstone the guy in the video is 72 this year! So yep a socks and sandals kind of guy!! Ha ha lol
Love it, guys a character and doing 10sec quarters is no joke (seeing they have now hit the 9's) I love that he has his girls involved and they are all just out there having fun and spending time together, it's great.
This guy is an absolute legend! And his daughters are perfect wedding material for any petrolhead 😄
What a cool dad with a even cooler car. 👍
What a cool car, with an even cooler dad.* There, I fixed it for you. Edit: mistyping
The look of pure fear on Alex's face when they took off from the line 😂😂😂
What a stunning vehicle and an incredible family. Wish there was more on the daughters as well since they are his team. Great video!
What a dude! Absolutely love this video guys. Great stuff 🙂
Guys this episode was amazing, truly I can't find words. Congrats for the car, she is beautiful 💚
what an awesome guy, and a great family. so cool
I would love for these guys to meet Cletus McFarland and experience the sheer insanity of his fleet.
British gasser. I LOVE it
Love this shade of green 😍
Side exit exhausts had me thinking spitfire right out the gate, iconic, great choice there.
Great build, fantastic to have the Hot Wheel version made of it.
Roger Moore (AKA The Saint) was such a nice gent too great video 2x👍
Looking at the guy hot rod racing isn't the first thing that springs to mind for me
What a nice guy!!
I want to buy this man a beer and give him a hand
I remember seeing the toy version and digging it. Man, am I sorry that I didn't pick it up. What an awesome build 😜🤟🏼
As a American I approve.... espessaly the powerplant a Chevy 454 with a supercharger and a turbo 400 transmission good ol reliable trio there
Ill NEVER judge a man who wears Sandles & Socks EVER AGAIN
It's HUGELY underrated
Ha ha love this! Will tell my dad! We are so used to him in socks and sandals - didn’t even think when they were shooting the video!
As an American, I approve. Epic.
It’s a real cool ride with a USA engine it couldn’t be more happy
That is one fantastic looking car and lee is a top bloke for building it 👍🏻

but now, after seeing the before photo will I say that I absolutely love this build. he brought one back to life with his own take on it and I love that!
Sandals and soks: LEGEND!
When Mad Max has a day off he drives this Volvo Beast!!! Great build.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH GUTTED for them! But glad he cracked the nines! WHAT a home garage beast!!!! 😏👌👍. 😎🇬🇧
Now we need more drag racing content
I found a few of the hot wheels of this car, and its so cool to have in the collection, definitely a good winner.

a gasser always has a straight axel in the front too. that's one thing that defines it
Awesome, got the Hot Wheels car today 👍
I was there and remember seeing your arms all over the place as you went by off the start line
As a P1800 estate owner I should be horrified, but that thing is f..king Boss, it's awesome, Rj in Oz
Oh man, I don't think I could ever have the racer's mentality, seeing my car break down like that over and over again from racing it would destroy me.
ahhh man that car is cool af.. probably the coolest thing in britain
thats a cool owner! and a cool car
Remember seeing this a few years ago at the skylark in Wellington, could not believe it.
The camera doesn't do this thing justice.
Have the diecast hanging on my wall, thing of beauty and the gasser style are rather quick on the booster tracks as well if they don't flip off being top heavy, the bronze Mad Mouse 62 corvette gasser was suprisingly fast on track as well.
Outstanding
Good ole p1800!! Love it!
You actually bought the v70 of Michal, my mate. :D That was interesting! I got a volvo xc70 and a 1981 volvo 242 DL that i am building into a restomod nonsense Stupid Street car that i document on my tube here too...
Have fun gents!
The Tiller is on the wrong side. But the Volvo Fish is absolutely AMAZING 👍🏻
Sick video Alex, well done. Well edited too
FINISH THE PRELUDE!!! Dying to see that 3rd Gen. with the K swap!
just bought the hotwheels and decided to look it up here on youtube, beautiful build
Alex looked extra Germanic with his silly hat.
Ey
Yeah he's got his "1978 nurburgring, just rolled my Beetle and flew out the door" Attire on in this one.
What a guy! With his socks, sandals, missing teeth and West-country accent, it seems like Lee would be at home displaying his prize broad beans at the village fete. Just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover.
Ha ha yep teeth are in the process of getting fixed! He is a proper west county guy - been drag racing for more than 50 years!
Just bought two of them on Amazon! Looking forward to opening this package!
Love video
And they were back racing the next morning 😎
If the car throttle crew came to any American dragstrip they lose their mind lol. This is common for us
the car looked very stable.... its a nice family matter :)
love the car! So glad he won the awards, Love the fact that his daughters are involved. I can't even get mine interested in hot wheels. Shane, we didn't get a walk around. There was some really other cool cars. There look like a fiesta super sport and Escort behind.
It's funny that when the rear's jacked up it's perfectly level 😂😂😂
What a top guy!
Love your work 👍
What a guy!
it's a dream family to me so amazing
What a bloody legend.
What a wholesome old man

That xr2 has got a Subaru engine in the back, rwd, wheelies for fun
The pipes are awesome
Sick car 💚
What a bloke, top man
As a fan of the p1800 and the saint books, I approve lol.
wrenc, drive, break and repeat. classic project cars XD
It was built in Somerset..... You'd never guess from the accent. Speaks like my dad "the front haff".
Very nice
🔥🔥🔥
I can't wait to get the hotwheels when it comes out to add to my other gassers I'm still waiting on the new 62 corvette gasser hotwheels has coming out as well
That car took some right shot
Nice
10:06 intro
I saw you there... 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Oh nice
The best decision doing your own thing. I wish you could drag the other two doughnuts with you
it's cool, but I'm more interested in the van in the background at the start...
Hold ouuutttt yaaa aaaaannnddddd
We was in the pairing lane next to you in this
I hope they do it in hot wheels premium car culture real riders with all the bells and whistles. A proper British fellow pottering around the shed makes the best of the British which is truly mist a pint for the little misters and their sheds.✌🏻🇬🇧✌🏻.
Brilliant 👌
Video idea : set budget (i don’t know what budget will do) classic cars but desirable ones like minis and Morris minors and that
That Man raised 2 superb young womans
Murica!!
I want an extra run with the new dif. PLEASE
Love how he calls one of the most iconic movie stars, Roger Moore, for "he". Just the average James Bond
Great car . I have my hot wheels version thanks
Take this to This vs That with Hoonigan
WONDER IF MY CAR HAS A HOT WHEELS TOYS VERSION😎‼️
I’d love to know what it’s 0-60 is
Wonder if Alex watches Cleetus or Finnegan etc. since he’s nice and familiar with stuff here it seems
notification squad, Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
