I got nothing to say. Just sitting here grinning and thrilled that you made this happen. Congratulations!
I 2nd that!
you read my mind brother..
Same!
Probably THE best comment I’ve read anywhere in a long time👍
I too would like to congratulate Mike on his (and team StanceWorks) fantastic achievement. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
PRECISELY what I am feeling! Watching it @ 11pm and saying under my breath "YES! YES! YES!" Those micro-counter steering action mid-turn reminds me of the trackdays in my gen2 MR2.
The end of a well documented saga. Seriously, this whole series has been world class and feels like it was made for TV. Congrats to you and Anthony again on such a beautiful set of videography.
I'm extremely proud of what you've accomplished, even if it's just second hand through the screen. I absolutely love seeing friends strive and succeed in everything they do, especially through the adversity that comes along the way. You've definitely inspired me to become more active in my efforts to improve my skill sets and push what I'm able to do, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here that feels that way.
Thanks for letting us all come along for the ride with you all these years. I'm absolutely excited for the next chapter of the car and what you do as a whole.
Better than TV they would of cut most of it out but fully agree with you bring on chapter 2
Had me tearing up a few times.
It's just made by people who know what they are doing. TH-cam kids with limited experience dumbed down our view of how good videos should feel like.
Well said. I was literally hanging like a drug addict for each installment to be posted. Well worth the wait.
The "Dude, it's fine" picture taped to the rear window as y'all are rebuilding everything is both so incredibly touching and fitting. Mad respect to you and everyone involved in this whole project. It's been amazing to watch from the start!
It would be dope to get a slap sticker of this in the merch supporting a cause. I think a lot of us could use this reminder on our builds.
perfectly coins the Australian version of "she'll be right mate". well done mate.
A big shoutout to Aussie motorsport enthusiasts for going out of their way to ensuring Mike got on track.
Seen such things many times at Aust events, it's what we do - help those who need help.
It's what we are all about. Doesn't matter what people want to call it, fair play, fair fight or just giving a guy a fair go, it is the standard down here! Maybe we are just built different to some parts of the world, maybe we are just doing our best to hold onto some old school values. Could be why we are called the lucky country.
They weren't there to fuck spiders.
Why is this series not blowing up? Absolutely top notch story, narration and production value. Hats off!
Share it with Your automotive friends!
Give it time.
To be completely honest I quit watching a looong time ago because it was taking so dam long, the videos are slow, too much jibber jabber, recaps etc. Not for me but, it's a cool a s s piece of machinery and quality video
@@supersevennm.i.l.k.e.d
I've told so many of my gearhead friends about this channel and they've been telling others. Great fab work, great life stories, and great videos!
Naysayers be damned, persistence and help from a few folks can make miracles happen. Great job hanging in there and sending it!
I have never ever been so moved by your whole journey, the drama of getting back onto the track and the whole commentary not only your own but also the Aussie guys. You so deserved to have the success and the plaudits you most certainly deserved. I have been totally captivated the whole way through and immensely proud of what you have achieved Mike.
I’m a 61 year old Australian who is slowly repairing an extremely rusty 1976 Fiat X1/9 which I intend to K-swap (K24A3). I found your channel a year late but caught up with the build so that the trip to Australia was up to date.
I’m so proud of you.
I’m so pleased that you came to Australia to test your car and your skills. You’ve illustrated that winning isn’t everything; but you still won. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have been dreaming of an x19 Honda also. Such a great little car.
Man Mike. Corey would be so proud of all you have done and the struggles and perseverance that he helped you work through. He couldn't be there in person but he was there with you.
I think we need a "Dude, it's fine." T-shirt!
"Dude, it's fine!" - I honestly got a bit emotional seeing how Cory was there in the engine bay cheering you all on and how you kept him close to your heart when racing. A truly inspirational person for a truly inspirational build and an absolutely incredible achievement. I've watched since day one and couldn't be happier for this whole story. Well done Mike.
Cheers to that Shane guy!! What an awesome dude for helping you out last minute. In fact, so many great people came to your aid, it is really an awesome showing of the spirit of motorsports competition. Great video as always!
Motor Sport Connections, where Shane came from, always do a great job. MSC are about 20 minutes from Sydney Motorsport Park.
"Dude, It's fine.." That is my new mantra going forward!! Wow Mike!!! What an awesome journey and a huge thanks to you and the whole team for bringing us along. This has been such a cool build to watch come to life and it's been so awesome to see you grow through all of the effort and adversity!!! I'm in awe of the car you've built and so inspired. Thank you!!!
of the Aussie version "she'll be right".
Absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for making this whole series. You've allowed a lot of people to vicariously enjoy an incredible moment. Congratulations for pulling it off, I'm sure I speak for many when I say, "We can't wait for the next event!"
Thanks for taking the time to chat mate. Looking forward to catching up on your home turf too.
Seeing that thing blast down the straight is absolutely mega. Brought a tear to my eye watching that live and no different seeing it here.
LET'S GO DADDY I AM PUMPED FOR THIS (congrats on 200k!)
Go Aussies! Pulling together to make the dream happen
This is the best build series on TH-cam, nice to see Jeff getting a shout out with the alfa ferrari.
Dude, I'm glad it's raining outside today, because I'm starting this series over and watching it as a single show. Fantastic work, I'm so glad you made it all happen. Coolest, well thought out race car, and so cool that it's finally coming together. Been watching since the beginning. You deserve this. You for sure earned it.
A lot of stress. A lot of reward. Glad you got it running
Thanks for bringing us along your journey. I have seen the car being built since day one. I have seen your hard work and dedication. We all are so proud of you.
At 8:56 you mentioned you had to earn that first lap. You already had, many times over. Don't sell yourself and your team short as you've done amazing work under serious constraint. Not to be critical of you, but you've accomplished a lot. Congrats to you and everyone else involved. Watching the rest of this as an edit your whole team has done an amazing job. Congratulations.
So I'm a gear head, but my brother fully glazzes over when we talk cars, doesn't care at all, anyways, few weeks ago I was in my shop and my brother was scrolling my youtube in my living room having a beer, see's your ferrari in a side window, few hours latter I see a google window with K24 ferrari, ask him about it a week latter, he's like MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR EVER!!! I'm Like YUP! plus the build is fricken amazing!
It's the struggle and overcoming of adversity that makes the memories. Good job guys!
Mike, your an amazing human, your a great story teller, an amazing friend, and this saga feels fit for TV. What an amazing journey, I hope this helps your page blow up so we can get more money in your pocket!
1st I wanna say I love your build as everyone does.2nd it would’ve been so cool to watch DK drive your car.3rd why can’t people all just be like this and come together to help each other out it’s always the car guys.1❤
I LOVE when the community comes together strangers help strangers and make things happen. Love that part of this community!
I dont know that anything can really be said or overstated about this last installment and the entire journey. This is what its all about. This is what hard work looks like. Challenges. Persistence. Success.
You built this and you achieved doing what you built it to do....at world stage, no less.
Youre an inspiration and this series has been hands down the best on the platform that Ive had the pleasure to watch - quality and content.
Anthony: incredible camera work. Incredible story telling. You killed it.
The love you guys have for Cory is heartwarming.. He may be gone, but certanly not forgotten.. Hell of an effort you all put in. You have an incredible group of friends, it was great to watch!
G'day from West Australia😉
As a 7th generation Australian,I have to say, I Am sooo glad the true Aussie Spirit was on full blast. So much so it even rubbed off on your friends and dad, the impossible was achieved.
Not without pain, but it happened against all odds.
For everyone who helped, Mike I take my hat off to you. ( Old time sign of respect from a time long gone in this modern world).
After over 40 yrs in the trade, enduring some of the hardest life challenges including a dominent hand injury, it is gratifying to see my faith in humanity restored.
I wish you nothing but the very best Mike for the future events of man and machine. Congratulations one and all.👌😉🙂👍👍
Listen man…..You have a GOLD MINE here.
Your voice, the way you document footage and, the way you tell a story is better than anyone else in the TH-cam auto category. I’m serious man. I write for a living and you’ve got something here.
This is my all time favorite resto-mod (if that’s what you’d even call it) video that I’ve ever seen. Restoring these older cars by making them SICK in a modern way, is simply BEAUTIFUL. Do not stop. You ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO DO ANOTHER ONE OF THESE! Another killer sports car that most people have forgotten about. To be honest (for me) that is the “soul” of this build. “THAT’S A FERRARI?!? That is the sickest Ferrari I’ve ever seen!”, is what my buddy said when I sent him the video. This concept is TRULY brilliant. You could make a feature length film of the entire build and, I’d pay IMAX theaters admission prices to go see it.
By the way…… does anyone else get a “Star Wars X-wing fighter” vibe off of the livery? Or is it just me….
Amazing journey, thanks for bringing us along! So glad you got a full days racing in, it looked great 👌
I'm so stoked to see this set of videos. Awesome to see it do so well once you got some of the teething issues resolved, and I'm interested to see the improvements you end up doing. It's also been really fun to see the crossovers from some of my favorite channels like the Haltech guys and especially Jeff and his Alfararri 🤘🤘🤘
Perseverance is a choice when made and done deserves respect. Great job everyone
The "dude, It's fine" picture taped to the rear window...what an amazing tribute to what seems like an amazing friend/human! Completing the swap is a great tribute to your friend, whose simple saying pushed you guys through the issues.
Absolutely amazing. The resilience of you and your team during this entire trip is extremely admirable. Seeing this episode caps it all off! Bravo!
So proud of you Mike, congratulations!!!! To you and your team GREAT JOB! It's been a hell of a journey and I can't wait to see what else you got up your sleeves. You are an absolute inspiration! Thank you for sharing this experience with us. 🏁👍🔧❤🏎
Thank you for taking us along for the ride, I felt like I was a part of it!
What a show!
Mike, like many others, I've been following this build from the very start.
This is the best build serie I've ever seen yet.
I'm rebuilding a car in my home garage, let me say that you have been a huge source of inspiration and motivation for me.
Not only because of the mechanical tricks and tips on how to build a car, but on how a project can bring highs and lows and on how to get the motivation to keep going.
Oh and thanks for bringing up the Alfarrari and Jeff. He fully deserves the accolades and exposure your magnificent documentary brings.
Dude, it's fine!
This quote needs to be on a StanceWork T-Shirt!
Congratulations! You are a genuine inspiration to us all. More than the cars, it's your steadfast commitment to your goals and your resilience through life's highs and lows that paints a remarkable story-one we should all aim to emulate in our own journeys.
Good on ya Mike. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a bit teary for ya, getting out after your last laps, well... there was a few moments throughout your WTAC trip haha. Watching every video of you building it from start to finish, almost made me feel like I was a part of your team, although I'm clearly not. Congratulations my friend.
Aussies love a humble hero. Congratulations Mick, you've passed the test. See you next year.
A lot of times you hear a car builder say "we" when talking about building their car, and this video series does the best job I've ever seen of illustrating why someone would say that. Mike, you do such a great job recognizing the people who help you, on top of doing an amazing job yourself when it comes to making this automotive dream a reality
Congratulations, Mike! It's been one helluva journey, but worth every minute. I for one, have felt privileged to be able to watch this epic project from the beginning. It'll be a while before she's back on American soil, though! Cheers. Leigh. PS: Corey was right in saying "Dude, its fine!"
OMG THAT SOUND!! Man you guys achieved something so huge. So special. This is the best youtube series I've seen all year and I'm blown away at the production quality and how fast you turned around the editing. Bravo!
I'm with ya bro !
Not turning off this channel any time soon.
Go glad you got the chance to go meet Jeff and his AL Ferrari, my other channel
How good! Go the Aussie motorsports community… go Stanceworks… fuck yeah
I have to admit that the pic of Corey did get me a tad emotional. It’s so nice that he is still part of the team.
The whole event was a roller coaster of a ride that even Hollywood could not have written. Combined with your narration and super crisp editing it really reeled you in and put you in the pits frantically biting finger nails due to the twists and turns of the event.
Well done, it’s a massive achievement to Have accomplished.
Great story! Love your comparison to "The Sandlot", spot on. Funny when I talk to my racing buddies about "thrashing" (getting a car ready to race and finishing right at the deadline.) we all laugh and can't believe the stuff we pulled off. I did a night race with Kevin Buckler/TRG and we realized we would not get the Porsche together 100% so we loaded it, got to Willow Spring just in time fforr the mandatory drivers meeting.. We qualified shortly thereafter with no lights, no windshield, other odds and ends, finished the car up after qauli. Best sleep I ever got before a race and we kicked butt and brought home the trophy, and swore we would never thrash like that again...until we did again, and again.
Great tribute to your friend Cory and an incredible effort by you and your team . Much RESPECT!
Dude you have the whole world watching and rooting for you! i couldn't be happier for you man, the whole experience is touching.
and i don't even know you personally, lol!!
you killed it man!
5:42 goosebumps incoming! Cannot imagine your relief and excitement at that point. Stoked.
Hollywood could not have written a better script. From the first episode of the build, no one could have predicted the journey. Look forward to seeing you and the car next year. Well done mate.
This official coverage is sooo cool. From the pits to the track, thanks for including it (and thanks to them for allowing it)
Dude...watching this, with the hair on my arms standing up, all I could think of is how is this not a better movie than Hollywood has put out lately? With the editing and the on track commentating, it is truly one of the best car videos I've seen this year. Huge congratulations on everything you've done so far and I think I can speak on behalf of your other fans that we can't wait to see what you do next. Oh, btw, you should make a shirt with the slogan, Dude, Its Fine and the Ferrari.
As a major petrol head and built a fare few cars over the years,This K24 Ferrari build is nothing short of legendary and with the few things sorted this car will be a top 5 contender in future WTAC congratulations to you and your team on this amazing achievement, Drew from the UK 👏👏👏👍
Been awesome to follow along with your journey and this finale was heartwarming to see all the genuine love and support from the community. Keep up the great work! Drive fast and take chances!!
Congratulations isn't even enough to explain what you just achieved!! So happy you are and have carried on with this not just stopped at the end of the build getting to see the entire process and what and why you are adapting and changing things and the hole set up process.... Best watch on TH-cam at the moment....
Well done! 👏 thoroughly enjoyed the build and this WTAC series. The channel should be farrrrr bigger than it is. With amazing content like this I’m sure it will grow to 1m+ very soon.
Man having folks just come to the rescue just because was so inspiring to watch.
Absolutely amazing , glad to have been watching from the beginning. Keep it up
This brought tears of joy to my eyes. I'm so glad you got to turn laps and had fun. I can't wait to see you get that car dialed in for next year.
And... sometimes we all need to be reminded that "It's fine, dude." I definitely needed it today, and now it's taped to my wall above my workbench.
I've said it before but it feels like it can't be said enough: thanks for sharing this journey with us. It's been one hell of a ride and I can't wait to see where it goes.
Been a phenomenal journey as a viewer and fan of the build! Congratulations on the accomplishment and Thanks for bringing us along!
Seeing the thumbnail and title of this video made me SO happy, and I'm equally happy for you that everything worked out so perfectly!
And HOLY HELL, what a team you have! After overcoming the challenges of this event, there's literally nothing that can ever come in your way in the future that you cannot overcome! SO SO impressive!!!!!
Also, the videography, editing, and narration for the videos about this event have been amazing!
That first flying lap in session 2 was so much fun to watch! And kudos for the shout out to Jeff, I know myself and others have been watching two builds on TH-cam - yours and his. Well done Mike and crew!!
Awesome story!! I still flash back to some lonely scenes of you alone at the shop late at night welding something, so many ups and downs. Glad you made it and glad you were able to take us along! It was all so worth it!
I honestly think I went through every emotion you have. It's build I've loved and understood where've you been coming from right upto now watching you fly round this track. Your a brill down to earth guy, we need more people like you in the world. Love from the UK
i love this channel so much. so much emotion and dedication and love from everyone.
Congrats brotha. You deserve it. Lots of hard work represented in a lap time
World class efforts all around (the build, the documentation, the repairs, the driving, the commentary and storyline). Great work, Mike! Probably the best build/race series on TH-cam
Man what an epic ride, the ups and downs through this entire build have been emotional to say the least, from seeing a somewhat immaculate custard yellow 308 roll into your garage, thinking, man that’s a sweet example, to watching you chop the fenders with a sawsall, to ditching the block, to creating new geometry, the k series, the wheels drama, all the problem solving, and now to this fresh well-earned victory. Such a ride Mike, thank you for bringing us along with you.
So happy for all of you! That was an epic video. I’ve watched the whole build and I’m thrilled to see the result..😊
Well done!! Been following this project from the beginning and would like to thank you for bringing us all along for the ride. Can't wait to see how much faster she can be! Cheers!!
You can’t help but to smile… it’s 9:18am and I’m headed West on I-80 through Des Moines finding myself a little over the speed limit because of Mike.😂
I live the in Inland Empire so I’m south of Mikes home and maybe one day I can check out his ride in person too.
Congrats on everyone who made all of this possible. Especially the media crew!
One of the best, if not, THE BEST things I've watched in the past couple of years. Most sincere respect, Mike.
Congratulations! Can't wait to see you make the adjustments and get back out there it's been a pleasure watching you along this journey can't wait to see you come home rest up and get back to it!
The most emotional episode by far. Could almost feel your nervs, happiness and excitement. Just awesome!!
Congratulations Mike!!! Such an impressive journey. Thanks for sharing with us!
Amazing, well done and congrats!
I commented on the video editing and narration last episode..... such outstanding work. The emotion, the tension.... perfectly laid out.
And then there's the absolutely beautiful car. The livery alone. #Chefkiss. If this is the start, I can't wait to see how this thing works once you get it tuned and get comfortable in pushing the car. Amazing job Mike, and to all your friends and sponsors. Congrats.
Dude, its fine....😭
Along with Freddi's P1 and Mat's Merci, Mike's Ferrari and Jeff's Alfarrari are up there with the best YT builds. Well done Mike.
Great series, great show, congrats !!!
Congratulations Mike. I’ve watched from the beginning of this build. I’m beyond happy for you that you got to compete. Your passion is a testament to what someone can do if they put their mind and heart into it. Can’t wait to see the next stage of the GTK.
Just amazing what you and the team have achieved.
Congratulations on completing World Time Attack!
Thank you so much for the great videos and good descriptions along the way.
Looking forward to the continuation, best regards from Stavanger, Norway
So happy for you guys! Loved watching this series.
Congratulations! Love the build. I have watched them all religiously.
Firstly I just want to start by congratulating you and all the team. From the monumental build along with the commitment, perseverance and sheer determination to finally compete in the time attack challenge. It has been amazing to watch your videos from start to finish and I cannot wait to see you on the track again. I can’t say enough on how much I’ve enjoyed following you guys and I have so much respect for you all.
Here's to the future guys regards Tim👍🏆
Thank you for visiting Australia and this film series, you had me smiling every episode.
This is my local racetrack and it makes me so proud to see people travel the world to drive it.
Congratulations!!! So glad you where able to keep racing and complete this event.
CONGRATZ! This build and your documentation of what it took to get here is AMAZING. This series has been my favorite follow for years now. I look forward to phase 2 and the Audi build to come. Excellent content and presentation!
Congratulations Mike! Have watched this build from day dot. So happy for you, and thankyou for the content. I get excited every time the Stanceworks notification pings on my phone. Still gutted I missed you while you were here down under brother👌
Well done to all involved. And thank you for sharing your journey. It looked and sounded glorious, and I can't wait to hear about the next stage.
Been watching since the first episode, always excited when a new episode drops, can't beleive I've gotten to watch such an awesome build turn from "Wow, I hope Ferrari doesn't sue him" to "Wow, Mike is going to Australia to race!" Keep up the good work, truly inspirational.
Wow! Just wow! I don't think I have ever seen a better documentation of all the ups and downs, triumphs, and despairs of birthing a race vehicle. Or any project, technical or artistic. And this has been technical artistry of the highest calibre. Thank you again for sharing your journey.
Great job Mike! I’ve been here the entire way through this build process and I’m so happy for you to realize your dream of turning competitive laps with the Ferrari. Cheers!
Absolute Awesome!... I leave not far from track and the sound is Amazing. Well done guys!!
Just AWESOME!!! Congratulations Mike, well done, you really earned this.
Mike, that you came this far is amazing bro! I never expected when you started this build to end up at WTAC, Congratz bro! You more then deserve it!
Man, what a story. Congrats, Mike. I have loved this series, delays and all, as it displayed an amazing strength of character and the fact that you run your creation at WTAC shows just how amazing you are as a builder. Best of luck with the Ferrari in the future! I'll be watching for sure.
Man, been following along since the beginning and I gotta say this is one of the most inspiring processes I have ever witnessed. Your attitude towards this build turned out to be infectious and helped me knuckle down when I felt overwhelmed by tasks in my profession.
Congratulations Mike, all of this is well deserved. Cheers
