DDE Bulgarian guys check in, totally appreciate the time that these guys gave us, just before finishing work and going back home. If you’re reading this: Thank you Mike, Tim and Mark.
No! Mike needs to leave these goobers, he's much more valuable than being a maintained man/errand boy for these rich arrogant youtubers! If you see Mike's worth you'd be more than happy to watch him go and do what he's good at and that's building cars and driving them, not being a rich man's b * t c h
I knew these guys for a while, but Mike's addition to the channel is what actually hooked me on it. He's so knowledgeable with everything he does, it changes the channel from just some more or less mindless goofy entertainment with cool cars to something that's also educational. You get both worlds on youtube in one place, entertainment and you learn stuff, it's a nice balance going on. I've learned a good deal from Mike. It's sad to hear he's leaving, I hope he decides to stay eventually. He really is a great addition to the channel.
He is selling his house, cars and taking the money he saved to buy a houseboat. He's then going to sail with his family. (It's true, he said it in an older video)
@@butwhytharum nah dude, he said from the start that he was going to sell everything he has and buy a boat to travel the world with his family. That is why he is selling his drift and racing cars
Mike called in one of the best guys in the Mercedes game, who also fixed and built his 1000 plus HP 65 thousand dollar engine thats in that car. Good job guys, keep up the good videos. This is a tually my favorite car in the channel now and I've watched yall for years 🙏 Edit: Actually lol typo. Truly also.
Mike. No. You cannot leave. ALL of the highest view videos on DDE in the last 18 months are your “Mike and Tim” build videos. DDE needs a new third channel. Call it DDE Builds. I think you and Tim can post 2 videos a week on the DDE Builds channel and you’ll kill it. Dont leave Mike!!
I think DDE should buy the car when mike leaves so it stays on the channel and stays as a piece of mikes legacy to the channel and the cars just badass.

Mike has TOO MUCH TALENT whether it be driving cars or building them to be stuck being Damon and Dave's errand/maintenance boy! He would benefit more by leaving this arrogant youtube channel and doing his own thing
Weird reaction to an otherwise completely stock looking engine... you'd have to have a keen eye to notice the slightly larger compressor housings on the turbos...
Love Mikes energy and his passion for cars and all the esthetics and the minor qualifications for making things perfect and that’s what makes a person being perfect
I met Mike a couple months back. Super awesome dude in person too. He let my buddy and I take a picture with Dave’s lambo before they were about to film a video with a sick ass supra (that was never posted lol) awesome time going to the DDE HQ
Mike and Tim honestly add so much to this channel, love Damon and dave but Mike has become my favorite reminds me so much of my uncle(passed) it’s a nice feeling
valvetronic coming to the channel and being so happy and excited about their own work is amazing to see just shows how many amazing their product really is!
I love the glorious circle of PDS Debt, sponsoring DDE, who just took over the Hoonigan shop, who just filed bankruspsy and exposed their $1.3 BILLION in debt.
Hoonigan isn't billions in debt, wheel pros the company that purchased hoonigan and changed their name from wheel pros to hoonigan is in debt. It's a corporate umbrella of 27 affiliated companies that filed for bankruptcy totaling to 1.2 billions in debt.
Don't leave Mike we enjoy you on this channel You're very knowledgeable on everything you do. Definitely wish you best wishes on your new journeys though.
Mike please put a Black series wing on it. I don't like big wing but when I saw one at the dealership today, all I could think about is your car with that wing. Awesome, great look and functional...
3:55 well remember there is missing badge so moisture got into the trunk and could evaporate through the metal and then cool down and then yeah that's how you can get moisture in there
Mike, you had said in a previous vlog that water was coming in from the rear Mercedes emblem being missing off of the deck lid. The 3 mounting holes were allowing water to enter the vehicle. The car has sat for many years, with rain being allowed to just seep in.
And then he's just said that after thinking about it, there seemed to be a lot of water just from those 3 little holes so after further investigation found that the after market spoiler was also to blame 🤔
*I've pitched this idea before but I still think you should build a street legal Carrera-drift-van, drop in a Hellcat engine, custom roll cage, 6 racing seats with harnesses and a massive chassis mounted wing on the back*
I think they should make it replace the hummer so damon can jump it etc. lift it, big tires, brush guards etc Thats one thing thats missing from DDE every time we lose a Hummer 😢
I think the AMG would look great in a Satin Ice White with white wheels, then any details, carbon etc you add will show up really nicely against the main colour, ❤ing the build.
Mike I just ran into the lead rep for Liquid Moly and they are looking to sponsor a large online presence. I spoke with Chris Hammer and recommended he reach out to you so you can talk with him. Liqi Moly sponcor on the livery for the AMG… Let’s Go…
Did they rename the video after posting it? I swear my notification said something about mikes 1400 hp amy build, not about him leaving. Correct me if i’m wrong
DailydrivenExotics Awesome Video I'm glad Mike's AMG GT build is moving along well and I can't wait to see which wheels and wrap he'll go with and I'm glad the Carrera Van GT is finally at a Body shop getting fixed up and I definitely agree that it should get a Crazy High HP build
Let’s all enjoy the time right now with Michael Essa and Tim 😢. They are the greatest addition to the channel and really make great content when you guys are away. The developed the builds on this channel to a whole different level. Valvetronic surprised with their exhaust system on the 599. Those cars should be restored and built properly, now Hector did a god job fixing the wiring and steering wheel pump, but the wiring isn’t great. Keep up the hustle and bustle YSOB’s! DDE ALL THE WAY🏎️🏎️💨💨
Dude didn’t even let Mike finish his sentences. Multiple times he cut Mike off and started talking, clearly not listening. Disrespect is this dude’s thing.

Яко. Супер, че сте имали възможността да ги видите на живо!
Congrats guys! Cheers from your neighbours in Romania!
I really hope Mike sticks around! He was a great addition to the channel and a lot of viewers would be bummed to see him go.

I’m so happy for Mike, he deserves all of this and more.
Why is that 😂😂 you clowns are a joke
Agreed man! 🙌🏽
Right? He should buy a boat and sail the world or something
@@malmstead986nooo, he should be on DDE forever 😢
@@malmstead986 Lmao 🤣
Mike brought DDE back to life.
I can’t see this Chanel holding strong after mikes departure. Mike please create your channel we’re all subscribing
Couldn't agree more. Wish he and Tim would just leave after the F12 build and start their own thing.
Good luck.
I agree, Mike was a shot in the arm for the channel. The car guy in me live vicariously through all the techy talk mike puts out. He will be missed.
The fact that valvertronic is impressed by his own exhaust shows the level of excellence in the valvertronic exhaust
This is sarcasm right? 😂
the reason they have an exhaust for that car but have never heard is it because no R&D. Most exhausts are straight from alibaba
exactly straight from alibaba , the Chinese shippers never sent him a video of how it’ll sound lol
exhaust headers was prolly based by the legendry sasaki makoto
@20:02 he actually made the BAAAHHHHhhhhhhhhh sound hahahah

Mike saying hes leaving in a year is such a gut punch. Im currently dreading that day😭
Duuude we all are😢
Why 😢
He is selling his house, cars and taking the money he saved to buy a houseboat. He's then going to sail with his family. (It's true, he said it in an older video)
I was just thinking the same thing!!😢
@@Chris-c5f2q only the real ones know brother, bros made all the money he will ever need, plus some.
When its mike directing the videos its always the best ones.
Mike reminding us “I’m leaving in a year or so” is the only low point of this video 😢
It’s always possible they offer him something he can’t refuse to stay around.
@@michaelschultz1104 there's probably drama behind the scenes that he is fed up with.
@@butwhytharum nah dude, he said from the start that he was going to sell everything he has and buy a boat to travel the world with his family. That is why he is selling his drift and racing cars
Man...why people make always drama...he just want spend moore time with family...eh
@@butwhytharum you couldnt be more wrong
I stopped by the hq on a road trip from Langford! Nobody there, but got a pic with my camper in front! It was only 15 mins from where I was staying!
Very cool
I’m in Langford to ha.
@20:02 LMFAO HAHAHAHA!
"I wonder if its gonna sound like, BAAAHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh."
He NAILED the sound 😂
He totally nailed it😂
Came here to say this
Had my headphones on and rewound it about 12 times hahaha
scrolled down here just for this comment. glad I did not have to scroll far!
Was waiting for him to get the crushed can out next and shift through some gears, he nailed it!
AMG GTR kit, BMW Imola Red, Gold BBS LMs like Vin has on his 360. Done, done, done. Love this build.
I’ve never seen Mike genuinely this happy ever👍😂🏆🏆 Like a kid getting his first car it’s freaking awesome🎉🎉🎉🎉 congrats!!!!
@@pugwhisper5753 😂🙌🏽
Happy for Mike. He loves that car. Put some serious money into it as well!
Cause he is waiting for the AMG to go against DDE cars to see how it goes. I am curious ....
Mike called in one of the best guys in the Mercedes game, who also fixed and built his 1000 plus HP 65 thousand dollar engine thats in that car. Good job guys, keep up the good videos. This is a tually my favorite car in the channel now and I've watched yall for years 🙏
Edit: Actually lol typo. Truly also.
Mike, Tim and Mark need to be PERMANENT fixtures on DDE. Whatever it takes from "Dave's salary," they need to ALL remain DDE for life!!
its not about money, he wants to retire.
Mike. No. You cannot leave.
ALL of the highest view videos on DDE in the last 18 months are your “Mike and Tim” build videos.
DDE needs a new third channel. Call it DDE Builds.
I think you and Tim can post 2 videos a week on the DDE Builds channel and you’ll kill it.
Dont leave Mike!!
Lmao nobody wants work for Dde for life
The AMG is gonna be a head turner!!! Congrats Mike on the NASTY build!!
It is sick !
I think DDE should buy the car when mike leaves so it stays on the channel and stays as a piece of mikes legacy to the channel and the cars just badass.
Mike, we aren't letting you leave in a year. 5 years maybe, but not 1. I can't wait to see your car finished, you deserve it all! ❤
"im not fucking leaving"
Mike. No. You cannot leave.

who u think u are nerd
Great to see @Austin from Valvtronic on a @DDE video. Keep up the great work @DDE and stay safe people.
The AMG PETRONAS colors would look dope
Hell yeah it would.
He already looked at one that had those colors and decided he didn't like it.
Was thinking the same
Guys you’re bigger than these titles. Cmon
20:02 he’s so accurate,perfectly imitated the sound 😂😂😂
Haha 😂 made my day! He DID
Ikr
Wow Bulgaria is next to Greece it's quite far away respect to those homies! I'm getting excited to see so many projects Mike!
“OH JESUS!!” Yes Mr Valvetronic, that’s the correct response to seeing that engine
😂 Said the same thing. @20:02 when he made the EXACT sound?
" BAAAHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh" made my day lmao
Weird reaction to an otherwise completely stock looking engine... you'd have to have a keen eye to notice the slightly larger compressor housings on the turbos...
@@kc550yeah, sweet engine build but looks wise it’s pretty basic. Tons of plastic and nearly stock looking. That was clearly a TH-cam reaction
Love Mikes energy and his passion for cars and all the esthetics and the minor qualifications for making things perfect and that’s what makes a person being perfect
Good morning DDE early crew from Tucson, Arizona!
Was starting to miss mark. Fun to have him back for a vid. Keep up the good work Mike, Tim, and Mark! Damon... Dave... you guys keep doin you.
I met Mike a couple months back. Super awesome dude in person too. He let my buddy and I take a picture with Dave’s lambo before they were about to film a video with a sick ass supra (that was never posted lol) awesome time going to the DDE HQ
I pray that both Damon and Dave have a safe and awesome time on Gumball!
I'm just here imagining an adult man on his knees praying for some TH-camrs 😂😂😂
Hope they find the svj first,man!🙏👀👀🤔😬😬😬👍🤝🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Thank you

I love the glorious circle of PDS Debt, sponsoring DDE, who just took over the Hoonigan shop, who just filed bankruspsy and exposed their $1.3 BILLION in debt.
How can u possibly know that
@@georgepyle4244 Because it's all over the news! ✌
@@georgepyle4244 I heard 1.2 billion, but what's another 100 million in debt! 😅

Whoop whoop
Thank you Mike best of luck!
3:55 well remember there is missing badge so moisture got into the trunk and could evaporate through the metal and then cool down and then yeah that's how you can get moisture in there
Not only moisture but, remember when it was detailed & they wanted to replaice the tail light ??? 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Awesome how you guys are so cool with the fans! DDE Fam!
Ahhh the sound of that 599 in the morning while I smoke my joint.. true peace

Mike Essa makes this channel worth watching.
Mike is killing it as a youtuber for Damon and dave when they need family time he has the energy/ knowledge/likable perfect 👍
Another mechanic departs from DDE wonder why?
In for the Exhaust sound. I have a W213 E63S and would love to hear this exotic exhaust sound on this engine.
Im.leaving DDE and this is my last build. you guys and your click bait,.....I'm done with your channel.
Don’t leave Mike we need you brother !! 💔
Thanks for having Austin on the channel and thank you Austin for being a part of today’s video. Congratulations on all of valvetronics success
Dope episode guys it’s nice to see mark back as well
For the van, Wheels, bags, aero kit/body kit. Easily clean-able interior
Mike ending with hope you guys have a good day. What a nice guy
Ayo morning crew!

Green with a set of polished silver wheels looks sooo good
Lol the DBS at Hectors shop is a V12. Tell Tim he needs a buy such a DBS, would be sick!
Mike / Tim : total class!!! Love it guys
14:36 im pretty sure all valtronic exhaust come from alibaba/china
Yh they do I think the guy is a bit of a nob aswell
and they prolly copy the ori stuff that made by legendary sasaki makoto
Dude, I LOVE this car. I was so stoked to see an update.
Did they rename the video after posting it? I swear my notification said something about mikes 1400 hp amy build, not about him leaving. Correct me if i’m wrong
DailydrivenExotics Awesome Video I'm glad Mike's AMG GT build is moving along well and I can't wait to see which wheels and wrap he'll go with and I'm glad the Carrera Van GT is finally at a Body shop getting fixed up and I definitely agree that it should get a Crazy High HP build
Yk what... I think Mike should get a Blackseries kit for the Amg GT 😅🔥
I’m in the road to key west Florida then headed on a cruise out of Miami… so let’s go morning crew
Do the matt silver chrome that Garret has on his Lambo it is sooo sick!!!
Bags on the van would be so awesome!!!!!! A full matte wrap in dde orange and part 2 of sketchy mechanic
Dark green and 24:45 gold or bronze rims
Terrible colors
Yeah I was gonna say dark satin metallic grey wheels with a British racing green body
Dark green and gold
That Silver grey hint against Carbon would be slick and it would open you up to different rims. Just my opinion.
South Africans, roll call.. 🇿🇦🔥
