Nice to see Al again! Thought you guys might have given Woody a plug. Can’t be easy riding that Skidfactory horse without the godlike presence and knowledge of Al.
Don’t disagree. However, Woody is still doing really well on his own. He is making the channel his own and growing himself. Al is an MCM OG and deserves all the time and conversation. Check out the pod cast with him if you haven’t seen it from a few months ago.
I'm Al's age and I had stopped doing cars when I had kids. Watching Al in his shed back when Marty brought his MX-5 to when he "retired" was always fun watching him drop his been-there-done-that knowledge on us. The last few years I'm back in the shed and doing engine swaps, not because it's easy but because it's mine, and it's really fun solving the problems that always come up.
Al is a big part of how my friends and I modify cars. There have been many times working on cars or fabricating something that I have remembered something Al has taught us and helped me out tremendously. Thanks for sharing so much boys it’s amazing how it helps people like me all over the world ❤ I really hope Al posts some videos later when he is feeling it even if it’s just hacks and tips to learn more from the legend
I always enjoyed watching Al, he is a super wise man. Its impossible not to like him. The thing that mekes him different to other people on youtube is that he is a super down to earth good fella.
Al is such a smart guy, he really has such wealth of knowledge. The ev vs petrol discussion was so even sided and succinct. I'm glad he's enjoying himself post TSF. Long may we be blessed with the wisdom of turbo yoda
Al, don't sell yourself short mate. There's a reason why your build threads were absolutely massive back in the forum days. The Skid Factory would have become popular off it's own merits without a doubt. That MCM boost helped, but you only got that boost because the MCM guys had a heap of respect for you because of the builds and knowledge you shared on the forums. Before TH-cam was a thing, before subscribing to a channel existed, there were a bunch of links I had bookmarked, it was the O.G. subscribe button. I wish I still had those links, from memory there were sites like MotoIQ, AutoSpeed and build threads in places like corner carvers and performance forums. One of my most memorable threads was an engine conversion on a Liberty, that was an epic thread. Good memories.
I love all of Al's content, he's got so much knowledge and is such a good teacher. And he's always talk about doing things properly, and doing things better than you did it before.
Thanks for having Al on, I miss the grumpy joy he brings to everything he does. Buying a lifetime licence including updates for a program only to have it turned into subscription service is a valid reason for piracy of that program.
As an American , I primarily watch Australian car shows, mighty car mods and skid factory, Al has thought me sooo much on turboes, amazing ability to explain things in layman’s terms. Thank you Marty and moog for bringing him to the world, and as an American who loves big Disel pickup trucks and big block cars, yall have made me love nuggets also!
Couple of things. 1. Being from the USA and stumbling onto MCM many years ago, I have always viewed Australia as the most "USA" like country outside of the USA when it comes to cars. The Australians get it, big power, crazy skids and just the enjoyment of it all. I have never traveled to Australia, but I will say, To all you Australians out there I see you all as Brothers from Different Mothers haha Love You All and We have your back, and I know you have ours. That's all I have to say about that. 2. Al is a LEGEND. The knowledge and just Talent that this Man possesses, He is definitely the "Turbo Yoda". I know MCM is feeling so blessed to have crossed paths with him. 3. Nissan doesn't get much love here in the USA. The new Z basically just sits on dealer lots and no one buys them. It doesn't help the buy in cost is freaking crazy for what it is. I think for the money? I would go Golf R. But thats just me 😎👍
Thank you Al, for being such a wonderful representation of deep thinkers on youtube/social media in an era when everyone is ultra surface level and general anti-expertise. His willingness to delve deep and explain process are something I've felt are deeply needed to the upcoming generations that won't ever have the non-internet experience in life.
Mighty Car Mods and The Skid Factory have given me the support to start working on cars and how much fun and satisfaction you can get from working on your own cars and helping your mates. On the other side, yes… started my own channel and the influence is doing what you love and teaching others that it all isn’t that hard as long as you’re willing to try, make mistakes and get your mates involved.
Al I’ve watched you since the beginning and I knew that you would be someone I’d love to follow, you’ve built so many great vehicles and have shared your knowledge and wisdom along the way, thank you for being such a great bloke and imparting your wisdom on us. 😄
Great to see you Al! Hope you're enjoying your new spanner turning jobs. Really good to see the guys giving you some appreciation, your content over the years has been brilliant. All the best mate :)
All I can say is Mighty Car Mods please do not ever quit youtube. Some of the best times ive had was watching and learning things about cars and D.I.Y from you awesome dudes. I am looking forward to seeing much more from Mighty Car Mods!
You look happy, Al. Glad to see you again. Marty, you’re a legend for holding down the fort while Moog was away. Blair, just wanted you to know, having watched years worth of T.G, you are CARRYING the show. Your cohosts (as nice as they seem to be) just arent landing with us. Chuffed that you got the chance to shine, & that you have a best friend that has your back.
@PX125E I get that. Al was always the wise one and Woody played the silly kid. It was a great duo. Now Woody is pushing to get work done and make it happen. He can just be himself and doesnt have go play the young dumb one.
The EV/microwave comparison meme is spot on. The EV is still a motorized vehicle but powered by a different source. Moog is saying walking -> horse -> car -> EV when it should be walking -> horse -> car/EV -> nitrogen powered jet pack or something crazy and different. BTW love Al!
Picture me, excited to see if my fank was fank of the week. Visiting Australia next year. Meeting Marty and Moog being a dream which could become a possibility. Being able to drive a car that they’ve created and tell them how awesome it is. Thanking them for getting me into cars and loving their content for years. Thinking that this dream could become real. Just for it to be a fank that Marty had done. You got me good guys 😭❤
Al was my favorite. No bs, on the nose jokes, Baging out the industry constantly. Perfect. ONly wish the best. He was right. I bought a holden vs ute to remember my first ute. Its a pile and hopefully will have some decent HP in the coming years.
all you boys have given me inspo to keep going on my project car. (one in my profile pic) bought it as a bare shell, 3 years on its registered and on the road 😄
Mmmm, with this one, the boost is strong!! 😊 Super great bloke, always enjoy his content and features with you guys. Happy cake day, Al, for your recent birthday! Much luv brother! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I can just imagine sea/air logistics and travel going electric.... NOT! Fossil fuel will be here long after we are gone. That's what I recon. Nice to see you again Turbo Yoda Alan.
SRs are SICK if you swap the VE head onto them, and fit up a tuned length 4-1 manifold. Then they sound like a BDA, but they make like 500 reliable horsepower all day long.
Yoshio factory is trying to make it to Australia time attack this year it would be great if you could do a shout out for support so they can make it Great work guys love the extra channel
Love to see Al every once in awhile pop back into the TH-cam galaxy! Love you Marty and Moog keep doing you but please!! Get some proper microphones for this show 🤩 podcasts are amazing and that could be one of the greatest out there
Nothing like a bit of Al to brighten my day! Now what possible reason could Turbo Yoda have for visiting, I wonder? I've not heard talks of any new Star Wars stuff with Yoda in it, so it's probably the other thing... So about that Supra, he didn't say which generation you had to build. So I reckon a mk3 (JZA70) could be really fun, and it technically gets you out of having to use a 2J as well :D
Welcome to the Future Australia. In Finland bewerage container have fetched a refund since 1951 (granted not all but a vast majority) and currently return percentage is almost 95%.
On the topic of subscriptions- I hate them too and resist them at all costs. We have a single subscription rule in our house for streaming. You can move between them but never more than one at a time. When it comes to software I’d rather go without than pay a subscription.
Hey I’d really like to know more about the forensic work behind sourcing parts. In your show (the other one that is) it seems like parts magically appear, but how and where do find information about your vehicle and the parts. Where to even begin? And once you know what you’re looking for, where do you find it? You guys are awesome. Love from Sweden
Turbo Yoda Rules!!! ECU's via subscription is an interesting one, KTM went down the path recently where you had to pay for unlocking all the bells and whistles on their 790/890 ADV bikes BUT in a similar situation recent legal cases have allowed farmers the right to service their equipment - consumers can vote with their $$$ Thanks for another epic episode gents...
Nice to see Al again! Thought you guys might have given Woody a plug. Can’t be easy riding that Skidfactory horse without the godlike presence and knowledge of Al.
Yeah, weird to not give Woody a quick shout for holding on the fort!
Woodys doing good he’s got al on his phone if he needs anything and all als contacts
Woody is doing well, hard to do it all with one fella.
Don’t disagree. However, Woody is still doing really well on his own. He is making the channel his own and growing himself. Al is an MCM OG and deserves all the time and conversation. Check out the pod cast with him if you haven’t seen it from a few months ago.

😀😀😀I do hope Al is in the future Super Cheap Auto commercials. Always loved seeing his cameo there.
Best Wishes Al.

I’d hedge my bets that Al’s in town to assist with a turbo fitting a certain type of star sign. Ironic date lineage, too!
I, too, predict a Ford Taurus build.

Or a Holden Gemini??

The internet is not the same without Turbo Yoda. He should do guest appearences more frequently.
Love Al. Such a genuine sweet humble guy, the biggest reason the skid factory was successful is because he's so genuine

Can't believe you got a youtube legend such as Al from Skid Factory to join on here with just us 40 viewers!!!
....so where is his cape? 😀 Thanks for being interviewed Al!! Would love to see you and The Hoff together.
Great to see you Al! Hope you're enjoying your new spanner turning jobs. Really good to see the guys giving you some appreciation, your content over the years has been brilliant. All the best mate :)
Dad and I regularly sat down together to learn from Al's explanations on the Skid Factory, thanks for doing what you do.
I have been using that "have a think about it" quote in my conversations for years. Thank you Al for expanding my vocabulary!
Al is single handedly the reason I'm no longer scared of efi. Sounds stupid, but it's true. Thanks for teaching me so much Al
I love AL.... Turbo Yoda will always be one of my favorite personalities on TH-cam... Ever.... Marty and Moog are right there with him too ❤
All I can say is Mighty Car Mods please do not ever quit youtube.
Some of the best times ive had was watching and learning things about cars and D.I.Y from you awesome dudes.
I am looking forward to seeing much more from Mighty Car Mods!
I miss Al looking through holes so much. I still love and watch Woody religiously. So happy for both of them.

What?! No mention of Woody running the Skid Factory by himself!
Because it was the skid factory, now it’s the kid factory.
@@PX125E hows a 40+yrold a kid
@PX125E I get that. Al was always the wise one and Woody played the silly kid. It was a great duo.
Now Woody is pushing to get work done and make it happen. He can just be himself and doesnt have go play the young dumb one.
Yes I was very disappointed that Woody didn't get a mention or any credits at all.
@@kurtseyffert6649is woodrigue really 40 years old?
“Somebody that I used to know” 😂 so well placed 👍
The EV/microwave comparison meme is spot on. The EV is still a motorized vehicle but powered by a different source. Moog is saying walking -> horse -> car -> EV when it should be walking -> horse -> car/EV -> nitrogen powered jet pack or something crazy and different.
BTW love Al!
Respect to these three legends. Turbo Yota is a gem, always liked when he popped up, whether Japan, or at the shed. What a champ.
Last time I was this early my missus walked out
I saw Al today at Beachfest. The Crown sounds soo good. 😊
18:12 - Marty it's really happening - Malcom Bendall's Thunderstorm Generator - O2 from exhaust from internal combustion engine - Get the word out
I’m here for the cheeky Mitsubishi Cordia reference! Had two, wish I had a Starion back in the day
Picture me, excited to see if my fank was fank of the week.
Visiting Australia next year.
Meeting Marty and Moog being a dream which could become a possibility.
Being able to drive a car that they’ve created and tell them how awesome it is.
Thanking them for getting me into cars and loving their content for years.
Thinking that this dream could become real.
Just for it to be a fank that Marty had done.
You got me good guys 😭❤
Al’s skills have always been an inspiration to keep trying. Thanks, mate!
Al was my favorite. No bs, on the nose jokes, Baging out the industry constantly. Perfect. ONly wish the best.
He was right. I bought a holden vs ute to remember my first ute. Its a pile and hopefully will have some decent HP in the coming years.
It's the Turbo Yoda!! Thanks y'all!
Celebrity appearances like this one will drive viewership into the high 40s. Well done fellas! (from fan #29)
"come up bro" 😂
Great to see Al again, I've missed his presence
all you boys have given me inspo to keep going on my project car. (one in my profile pic) bought it as a bare shell, 3 years on its registered and on the road 😄
Hearing Marty's impression of turbo yoda.. like a mirror for the ears..
Best Unicorn Circuit episode ever! Al is an absolute legend. YT meets humility and Al won!
Turbo Yoda"you've brought me every spanner except for the one I need"end quote😂😂😂
KA24 swapping everything is DEFINITELY the move! V-Tec the wooorrrrllldd!
Salute To Al !!! Yeah! for I.C.E.
Unless you are crawling, you have nothing to say! Love it!
That was my stroke & coat fank! So cool to see my between the legs end up on here
Marty’s 160 less comment just sailed off into another dimension! Twice! 😂
Yay!! If Al is in the building it only means very good things are happening!! :)
Mmmm, with this one, the boost is strong!! 😊
Super great bloke, always enjoy his content and features with you guys.
Happy cake day, Al, for your recent birthday! Much luv brother! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes, nice to see my Brilliant Bro Bag featured, I was pretty proud of that one xD
Thanks for being awesome Al!
I can just imagine sea/air logistics and travel going electric.... NOT! Fossil fuel will be here long after we are gone. That's what I recon. Nice to see you again Turbo Yoda Alan.
Have met Al and Woody a few times, both great knowledgeable guy's. Woody is doing great carrying the Skid Factory onward.
Love Al... The smooth criminal of car mods.... 😎

Great work guys love the extra channel
What a great end to the week 👌🏼
The reason I love this channel & every Aussie channel is because of the genuine ❤️ of cars 🤙 even if someone else thinks it's crap😂
“ I don’t like it when mum and dad fight” 🤣
Wow!! Thanks got getting my Friday here in the US off to a great start!! AND Turbo YODA??? 😂😂😂
30:34 funny you should mention... Albert Biermann was the head of BMW’s M division and now is head of Hyundai’s N line.
I was under the impression that's why Hyundai's 'fast' division is called N...because it's the next letter after M
Love to see Al every once in awhile pop back into the TH-cam galaxy! Love you Marty and Moog keep doing you but please!! Get some proper microphones for this show 🤩 podcasts are amazing and that could be one of the greatest out there

"Electric car is a microwave while a petrol car is a barbeque" - definitely keeping that as a lover of a good barbeque or even cooking over a fire
Sad to see the skid factory stops, but so glad for the time it was on and respect all big time:)
it didnt stop
"...a gentleman's agreement, or a gentle*person*'s agreement" bravo Moog!
Nothing like a bit of Al to brighten my day!
Now what possible reason could Turbo Yoda have for visiting, I wonder?
I've not heard talks of any new Star Wars stuff with Yoda in it, so it's probably the other thing...
So about that Supra, he didn't say which generation you had to build. So I reckon a mk3 (JZA70) could be really fun, and it technically gets you out of having to use a 2J as well :D
If you guys made Al a regular guest on this show I'd be a happy man. This is fantastic
Epic episode! So glad to see Al back here
Good to see Turbo Yoda again! I hope to see him hop in on that other channel now and then.
He's the turboooo yooodahhhh
“Would this fit in a Honda?” 😊
When Al left the skid factory, so did I, its not the same....

I ❤ how the Turbo Camry was like a proper sendoff to the Turbo Yoda and it was retired as soon as Al retired - that's fitting.
Good to have Al in the mix. :)
