After a lifetime in the motor trade, I judge people on their spanner skills. You are a king, even with an adjustable. Definitely going to Italy next year.
1:02 I had the "honour" of watching (and photographing, no video) my 2002 Honda Civic 150i scroll from 199000 to 200000 and again from 299000 to 300000km. Both occasions the car was in identical running and looking condition (except for the inevitable supermarket rash). The only (apart from normal service items) new part I ever bought in 14 years for that car was a windscreen wiper link that wore out. The air-con was never re-gassed and still worked like a new one, no wheel bearings replaced, original clutch, zero oil leaks, it once stood still for 3 months (my error, I just kept forgetting to start it every once in a while), and it started right up and sat there purring away...fantastic car. The buyer couldn't believe the condition when I eventually sold it, for no other reason than it was used just less and less, and I needed money for my daughter to have an expensive dental operation.
Amazing to see Ivan blasting past all the other pampered classics on the track. No roof, pouring rain, in a crazy vintage, 10-litre aero-engined special...and going hell for leather. Love it.
When I trained as a motor mechanic in the 70s "Mr Timken" was quoted as saying to have 1 to 2 thou end float on your tapered roller bearings for wheel bearings . Obviously differentials and other specific applications differ.
absolutely fabulous , what a treat for all , thank you so much for the ride along and what an ending to see such a truly beautiful rainbow and have Ivan singing to us all 😃
Well I can’t see why you bothered going…It looked terrible!! 🤣 What a great place to spend your birthday, looks like you might be in Japan for your next one. 👍🏻
@Gavin I think you'll find that Suzy has plenty wealth of her own _and_ a barely believable stable of classic sports cars. Ivan has new spring in his step, lovely to see him enjoying the good life in good company.
Well Ivan and Suzie, you young folks certainly know how to enjoy life! It was almost like being there, thanks for taking us along. I might just see you in Kyoto next year, we're cruising up to Japan from Australia in early April.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful video. Watching Ivan mingling with the locals wearing his dungarees and Ducati jacket gives this a very casual and comfortable feeling. More like this please!
Drive interesting vehicles into the middle of a town in Italy and you are welcomed as heroes. Drive interesting vehicles in to the middle of a town in England and you get fined! Living the dream guys😎
Good Lord Ivan and Suzy, the production quality of your video's has improved by leaps and bounds over the past dozen or so updates, you have become very good at this indeed, well done! I'm really enjoying watching your tour as I used to do the same thing myself years ago and all the memories of so many good times come back to me of the amazing cars and the wonderful people who own them and drive them, thank you both for doing such a good job and particular thanks to Suzy on the camera.
The production is totally down to Tania from the Ukraine, who has been working in Ivan's Shed for over a year now. She really deserves all the credit. All I do is provide some footage from the GoPro and keep Ivan in check!
What a great trip, it would have been heaven with all the other fabulous machines. You can take up sking on your 85 birthday. Hope to see more footage of the trip in the future.
I’ve just found Shed Racing via Dom Chineas channel. What a revelation, absolutely love it. I’ve never wanted to be anyone else in my life but Ivan comes pretty damn close, what a legend, super interesting and some truly awesome cars. A lesson to us all no matter what age just get out there and have an adventure, not tomorrow, today!
Fantastic adventure so many old cars i remember from when i was growing up in England many years ago. thanks for the trip. Ivan you got 1 year more than me glad to say we are both doing ok and thanks to your special lady for the filming u are so lucky to have her Ed 40 S of Vegas
Wonderful video. Thanks for putting this together for us fans. I'm glad you had some beautiful days and great company on your trip. The scenes though the narrow town streets made me nervous and awed at the same time.
Brilliant, Suzy, you are a star, you said to Ivan are you happy, well who wouldn’t be, driving A Ferrari California spider a young lady at his side and in Italy, and next year Japan, 👴🏻👍
How fantastic Ivan and Suzy, looks like you had the most brilliant time meeting so many enthusiasts from around the world. Very inspiring indeed. Thank you for sharing the experience. 😊
Absolutely fantastic journey you’ve presented with some fine workmanship and superb engineering doing what they should do with some fabrication work completed on the way Keep chipping away 👌
What a time you had Ivan! Good cars, good (and bad) weather, and most of all, good company, enjoy it to the full, (but watch out for the speed cameras). Chris B.
If there's one thing I've learned from this channel, it's how to live properly.
Work hard and play often.
When I grow up, I want to be a cheeky bastard like Ivan!
When I grow up I want to not grow up like Ivan :)
He’s a good old boy!
Why grow up, Ivan is still a big kid at heart
love the Ducati jacket Ivan……what a pleasure to view you susie the Ferrari and all the beautiful machines….Happy Bithday 83!
Inside a Bentley drum brake on an 83rd birthday, that's now a life goal for me. Thank you for sharing your trip and producing great videos.
I'm the guy who takes off the hood in the Zagato, I'm really glad to have met you guys!
Great to meet you too !
Gli inglesi definiscono il tipo di qualità e cura che si percepiscono aprendo il cofano di quella Zagato "A labour of love..."
Thoroughly enjoyed your Italian adventure. Sincere thanks for all the effort you took to produce it and especially for taking us along.

Love the Graphics.

"Are you happy?" No one in my life has ever asked me that question, or cared. Bravo, Ivan.
