Definitely envious of that collection! There were a few particularly sweet exhaust notes, being played! Thanx!
I never would have believed all of these cars would be able to just start up on a moment's notice - Amazing! GREAT video series!
Love your collection .Something for all moods ! That AC Acea Bristol sounded the sweetest ! And a very successful run up of all you tried ! Thanks Steve.
Love the videos! What army of angels to you employ to manage all of the registrations and insurances? Got to be crazy.
No problem when you have 250million $
Would love to have you explain why you own the variety of vehicles you have, how long you've been collecting and do you work on other's cars?
Thanks for the idea!
@@ThisWeekWithCars yes, that's a great idea! What's the ethos behind your collection planning? It's so eclectic!
you have to be so proud of this cold start process... pretty amazing!
it's more than a collection - it's a museum. my old man had a 52 chevy as a work truck - same age as me - the IH pickup is the absolute coolest one on the list.
I'd hate to work at the treasurer's office on the day you come in to renew all of your tags!
Thanks Steve for a look at your electic collection of vehicles. What a wonderful walk through. You need for Jay Leno to come visit. I bet you two could spend several days discussing the different merits of collecting cars, trucks and various other modes of transpot. Let us know if you plan on working on the few cars that did not behave...
A drive video for each of these cars would be cool. I would watch that for sure. It would be a huge pain pulling each one out week after week, but you would get to drive each one, cold start it, lubricate everything, burn off moisture. Hell, even repeats and cars you've featured before would be interesting to get your fresh opinion on the drive characteristics, history, personal history with that vehicle, etc. You've done several videos like that, they're always entertaining to me. Even the ones you own multiple copies of. Also, in these videos I've been comparing and contrasting the trim and fittings on some of the related vehicles, like the Sprites and Midgets. Knowing it probably takes more time to process the video than to shoot the video, maybe not so much fun for you as us.
Love the design feature of the Caterpillar with its exhaust blowing fumes into operators face 😤😷
Thanks Steve. 👍
IMPRESSIVE!!!! Steve, I loved your collection. I missed the 2 Pontiac's - the 1950 & 1957. I also wondered about the James Bond car the Austin Martin, or did I miss it. You are just exceptional and would kill to spend some time working in your shop with you. Thanks for the guided tour.
How in heavens name do you decide what to drive each day? I a ‘66 Porsche 912 that got stolen and the thieves blew the engine. Insurance paid for most of a rebuild, and added Delordo carbs. What I wouldn’t give to have it again now that TH-cam guys like yourself provide such amazing repair and maintenance advice.
Steve thanks for sharing your impressive collection. Its the biggest boys toybox I've seen. Joe
Now you need to get the ones on the shelves running 😀
A very varied collection Steve. I missed the 6x6 military camper truck.
It is in the next room.
What an amazing collection. I lost count of how many cars you have but it is impressive.
The International pick-up and Metro van, amazing!
Amazing collection
Great cars!
Hello Steve from Illinois . You have a lot of cars in your shop . And a very good memory . If you hah more room would you spreed the cars out to open the doors fully . Or would you add more cars? I have no room to get more cars. But I like to add more myself. Carry on and enjoy. AZ
What an amazing collection of complete British cars that look and run!! You must purchase gas stabilizer by the drum. I’m amazed anything with a Lucas system this old even conducts electricity.
I’m good for a Tiger, a Marcos, or a TVR. LOL. GREAT video series. 👍
Such a great collection!
very nice collection! worth a pretty penny.
He says "row of cars" so nonchalantly.
Great series Steve.... Love the collection!
What an amazing collection you have. I didn't count but there must be 80 cars or more
I love the Austin Cooper S especially with the union Jack on the roof! Our neighbour (when we were younger) learnt to drive in a Ford Anglia . She then bought one but light blue without the white, brings back memories! I like both of the Marcus cars. Nice video to conclude the set Steve thank you.👍
The Marcos 1500 GT is badass.
Some nice cars, but an AC Aceca Bristol. Super desirable (super valuable too).
Thanks for doing these videos Steve. Love your collection. That International van would be a cool repair video...
Steve, have loved this mini-series! However, you need to get a Morgan, a TR6, and an MG C, and a ...............! ( Cheers from SW Scotland!!)
I have had all of those previously watch this video: th-cam.com/video/B9GQTaTVWqY/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic 3 part Video , I certainly admire your Collection Steve !!!
Hi car gye steve starting them all up good to see .But I hope you get enough time to drive and worm up and burn out moisture and rich fuel hopfully not bad fuel .Which I know can lead to a big clean up .
That iH Metrovan is so cool (and rare)! You've gotta get that beast running and rolling bro.
restoring cars goes way back for it was my dada that showed how restore and his rule on the cars was to never let that sit to with out being if not started enuff they,ll just go down on you it was his rule to start and drive a car no less then 30 for from spring to fall we had no problems as we whent to show often the cars would be driven but winter they would sit and my dad made sure that we start every one of them and i have alway found this to be a very good rule i use it myself on all my car and i say to with as meany cars that you have i think use should do the same on every one of your car just take a couple of day every mouth and start every or if you find it hard to get the then some to do it go trough and start and drive ever one and to put in a little bit of new gas to keep the gas from going bad on i mean i think you should do this and by doing you can anyone at any time you want to and it,ll be ready
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
I think your collection is almost more impressive than Leno's in that it's just you wrenching, no "staff".
Nice 👍🏼
You win! Such a great collection!
Love how quiet that '52 Chevy pickup is.
It is much quieter than modern trucks.
Be interested to know why these cars, they are unusual and many British cars. A video featuring this info would be great .
Steve, I was taught to always bring the engine up to operating temperature from a cold start. Wondering if just running them for a few seconds has a downside. Also, I'm surprised you don't have at least one Ford Cortina in your most impressive collection, or did I just miss it?
When I do this without the cameras I do that but it would take a week to film it if I had done that in this case. I usually start them all in sections as you see here and let them run then start shutting them off when I get to another row. It has to be a nice day to have all the doors completely open to pull that off which would mean no cameras as the contrast between the sunlight and the dark interior would not make good video.
How have you been able accumulate so many interesting cars? They would be incredibly expensive.
Just how big is your garage? I've been in warehouses that looked smaller.
Steve, a good friend of mine (now deceased), and a keen collector (like you) once told me ‘remember Mal
the guy who dies with the most toys wins!’. Keep going Steve!!
You’re well on the way to a win!
Mal from OZ
Maybe you should invite all of your local car nerds over to have a rally and drive all of your cars. I'm sure you're very selective about who you'd let drive them. :)
Is that an electric cooling fan making all the noise on the blue Rover? It seems like as soon as you turned on the ignition an electric motor started spinning.
The green Chevy pickup is gorgeous!
The LMTV sounded like it wanted to go somewhere right off the bat.
Thanks for the series, it has been great!
Yes it is
@@ThisWeekWithCars Hard-wired I suspect???
Your collection is so cute OMG 🤩 microcars are adorable
Heee….Heeee….Heeee… I espied a few holes in your collection that need to be filled. I see some pre-rubber bumper MGBs on the shelf. You need at least one runner. You need at least two running MGAs, with and without the recessed grille. A twin cam would be a bonus. You absolutely need the preeminently ugly, but tres cool for its 2.5 liter Hemi V8, Daimler 250 SP.
Most wear houses with a lot of cars most of them would not start now you have kept them up quiet well
Cars of my dreams.
Another great video of your collection!
You should start a museum!
My friend did that with his similar sized collection and got completely screwed.
@@ThisWeekWithCars dang what happened to it??
Amazing collection of cars. Great series! You should acquire an AC Cobra, one of my favorite cars ever. For me. 😁
Used to have one, all the questions from everyone when you parked made it a downer to own, everything thinks they are an expert on Cobras.
Awesome.
You've got some cool cars
Why no Morgan in the collection? Thx for the cold starts!
I had two previously watch this video: th-cam.com/video/B9GQTaTVWqY/w-d-xo.html
My first car in 1970 was a Ford Anglia, but it didn't sound as good as your!
you should take the out for drive and show just how nice they are
Love it.
Do I want more cars…yes.
Do I have room for more cars…yes
Do I have the money for more cars….yes.
But I am married……
Are you using fuel stabilizer Steve? You must hate ethanol. Good series, I enjoyed watching.
I do not put ethanol in ever. If I use a stabilizer I use Sea Foam.
I love it when some cars dont statt 1try in your hot old Sneakers;)
Hey where is the Triumph TR6?
And on that batch I think I would go with the Anglia.
I never get to hear what it sounds like from behind, I was impressed!
nice to own so many cars. but which one is the best just touring
My favorite at touring is the AC Aceca
@@ThisWeekWithCars nice one it is
Hi Steve,
You have mentioned an “ultra capacitor” severs times. The only ultra capacitors I was n familiar with are used in electronic assemblies to replace coin type battery backup. Can you maybe talk about that in one of your videos?
Thanks,
Dave C
One of my very first videos was about them, you can see all the videos I have done since with them in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLRMQ-ShmnWObpFmg0rOpum6psLxo6V5E2.html
We call them Lithium Ion batteries in Australia
What about the M35A2 M109A3 Overland?
It's in the other room with my other big vehicles.
What happened the DKW? Did I miss it? I wanted to hear another two stroke crackle (other than the Berkeley).
It is sitting up on the shelf because it doesn't run.
What type, and or brand of ultra capacitors do you use? And where can I find them?
I cover them in this video: th-cam.com/video/eePkNmIJOGg/w-d-xo.html
Steve, please get back to the Lectra.
Next video should be the Lectra!
@@ThisWeekWithCars Awesome, can't get enough of that car project.
I think you need some more cars, dude
I have more stay tuned!
sell me that mg td and the '52 chevy pickup... :)
Steve - you have never once used starting fluid to assist starting your engines (unlike your pals at "Junkyard Digs") - what gives?
Kevin uses brakeclean all the time which is extremely harmful for the engine
I use starter fluid in my videos sometimes if I know there is spark and the engine is being stubborn. Kevin does some things with brake clean that I have never seen before...
Dude! At least open the garage doors so you don't asphyxiatate yourself
No person could work enough to earn those cars at your age. Rich dead parents is my guess.
you car afford all these cars, but a shitty camera?
