That's maybe the best negotiation Ed has done ever
Correct. However, was it done shrewdly!
I'm sorry but the hospital negotiation will forever will be the GOAT imo
The guy's one hell of a talker
Agreed
Ed needs to go into international trade agreements! ;)
The line “none of us could afford the cheapest McLaren F1 in North America” really got me wanting an update on the El Chapo F1
Really thought when I saw the trailer that somehow Ed pulled it off and got it.
El Chapos Brother just broke out of jail and was seen driving it near Hermosillo Mexico
@@jasonstilgebouer565 pictures anywhere or an article anywhere?
I only joke
@@jasonstilgebouer565 except the car is supposed to be with the family of El Chapos dead former beat drug dealers family as it was his car. Why would el chapos brother all of a sudden have it.
$900k for a Zonda, a 360, and a freaking F1? That must be the deal of the century right there.
I mean....
More like the deal of the millennium
Deal of the century would be the Ferrari 250 GTO that Nick Mason bought for $35k. That’s an insane amount of appreciation to its current $40 million+.
@@67fordmustanglover yeah but that car not even worth a million in my eyes. Value is very subjective.
@@Thumper68 I think the deal of the Millennium would probably be one of the trades performed by Europeans to 'buy' land from native populations, I'm sure some details are apocryphal but even still, pretty sure the whole of Manhattan island is worth a skooch more than some glass beads and a hatchet or two these days...
I’m a guide at Revs Institute, and get to see the F1 on a weekly basis. What a thrill to see it featured on one of my favorite shows!
Sounds like you have the coolest job ever :D
@@duralate Well, its a volunteer gig lol. But I've been doing it for 5 years now. The Revs Institute is a fantastic place to learn about meaningful automobiles, and the technological advancements we enjoy today due to the sport of auto racing. And yes, it is the coolest place ever :D
Thank you all there for your wonderful generosity .. Wyclef's car has obviously found a wonderful home .. and as Ed points out at the time there wasn't a great market for them (same thing when a 250GTO sold publicly at a Kruse auction for US$2.5K .. 1969 .. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_250_GTO) .. btw, love the paint! Dreams do come true! :-)
@@steviesindahouse4903 yes I agree the paint is stunning 😍 the colour is perfect for the lines of the f1
What did you think of Episode 1 of Car Trek 5?
I really liked it, I got to see you guys leave Concours in the cars but I didn’t see you. I saw a bearded guy driving the lp-640
That was the Car Wizard, I was in the F1.
Absolutely amazing. Can’t wait for the other episodes.
That’s awesome! Also Ed, I’m Austin, the son of the previous owner of the blue GT4, it was nice meeting you!
👏👏Amazing episode 1👏 👏
Can't wait for the rest of the series!
So cool that this was the way you were reunited with Wyclef's car. Amazing.
The joy you guys experienced was absolutely awesome to see- it really felt like we were on the ride with you.
"Don't exceed 150 mi an hour". I'm guessing you were giggling like a little girl 😄
149 it is...
I think the F1 will always be the hero car for everyone born before 2000. And from everyone who's ever driven one, it is one of the few hero cars that will absolutely live up to the hype. Everytime you see someone drive or even ride in one, there's this magical wonder at how perfect this machine is. I hope one day I get to see one. Seeing Ed talk about it is the cherry on top.
F1, Ferrari F50, Lamborghini Diablo VT, and Dodge Viper. Definitely the coolest exotic sports cars of the mid 1990s.
@@winnienguyen4420 we all had the posters and the folders of them. And now we're like "I'd love to drive one but idk about owning one" lol
You can tell by Ed’s face he’s checking off the bucket list! Congrats!
he'll be looking for a flooded Mclaren... And ju,mping on one if he finds one.
@@mr6johnclark with high mileage with crabs from the sea and from Hilton
I SAW CHRIS IN HIS EX SMUGGLER DODGE TRUCK TWO DAYS AGO ON I-85! It was like seeing a celebrity haha
The Collier collection is a must see for any real car lover. They have some AMAZING cars that actually get driven and their staff is extremely knowledgeable.
I've been a volunteer guide at Revs for 5 years. It is indeed amazing! I love pointing out the license plates on the cars- they are there for a reason! 😉
@@EM-ru3eh If they have an MR2 then that is where I would be for the day. (SW20 specifically)
@@sparkyenergia the McLaren is the youngest car in the collection
This is your new number 1 story. I got chills listening. Very well done guys
The F1 design has aged well. They could've released it this year, and no one would think the design is more than 20 years old.
20? Hell its essentially 30 years old now. Truly a timeless design.
@@granolatimes7185 more than 20 could mean 30 as well.
Except the wheels
@@B41L3Y And the interior in general.
them bus lights and turn signals will def fly under the radar.
Close in color to your Murci too. Almost like you spec'd it.
The owner is amazing!!! Thank you! What a cool opportunity.
No one else deserved this experience more than you guys!
False, no one but me.
Car Trek is an amazing series. I hope you guys keep it going as long as possible.
Love the “Ive done all the work and Im going to drive that car” attitude lolol
Car Trek really has taken the vacant spot of the old top gear series, keep it up guys :)
Not even remotely.
@@Nick210 leave lol
Love that Ed never mentions the difference in weight when comparing the F1 to the Murci, both here and in Car Trek. Oh yeah, they're pretty similar, one's just 1500 lbs heavier. Basically the same ;)
In all seriousness though, WOW what a get with the F1. When I watched the CT episode I was immediately hyped knowing you'd have a great story about it. As usual you do not dissappoint.
Thank you, Ed for allowing car guys worldwide to live vicariously through you on TH-cam!
Love this channel! And so glad Car Trek is back!!!!
That's amazing, I have a picture of myself standing next to that car in the Revs museum. Unbelievable place.
I think this (car trek) is the best youtube collab. You guys have a natural chemistry.
I've watched the opening of Car Trek S5E1 multiple times in the last day and it still brings a smile to my face to see some of the coolest car guys get to live out their dreams in the F1. Thank you for your channels and thank you for building the communities that allowed you to bring us this content and share with the world. So much respect for Miles Collier and everyone at the Revs Institute that made this possible.
This car trek was awesome I’m still amazed you managed to get a f1😂
Was? Bruh it just started
Congratulations on getting this amazing experience. The excitement you display by just talking about it makes me really hope that someday you get your own F1.
Best Car Trek so far. F40 would have been awesome in 4.
Timeless car.
So we settled right down the middle at 150mph pulls along the highway with no chaperone.
It is a fantastic bit of original auto content, up there with the TG boys, you lucky lucky lucky bastard Ed
That’s freaking amazing! 😮🤯 Good energy brings good energy, I believe it’s your good energy that makes your channels so good. Having said that, this has been one, if not my favorite Car Trek episode.
Thanks You Auto Tempest and Premier Financing for making this content possible. Epics as always guys!
The first episode was kinda slow, no pun intended. But it was just kinda done. You didn't really setup the new series too well. Can't wait to see what you guys get into!
Funny, I really liked that it was that way. I hope the series will continue to give us both what we like
I actually shouted out loud 'WHAT' when he said how much Wyclef was asking.
What I found crazy at Revs, it's the first car you see when you walk into the museum. You'd think it would be deep in the heart of the museum.
I'm so happy for you. Such a dream come true. I've always thought the height of my dream come true would be to just sit in one.
That Auto Tempest shirt seems a lot less wrinkly, production values are through the roof!
One of the coolest images of the new series is the three of you in the F1. So cool!
With every new connection, experience, and spectacle you facilitate... A door opens to the next big moment you couldn't see coming. I'm a fan... I've been entertained since day one! Great job, Ed!

11:00 honestly looks like it’s straight out of a scene from NFS Hot pursuit 2 😍
I am a volunteer at Revs Institute and part of my job is to explain the car (and all the others) to visitors, and I am not allowed to touch the car! You guys are soooo lucky! But very nice of Ed to put in a plug for Revs - it is truly a remarkable collection!
Good morning Ed. Awesome episode 1 yesterday.
Thanks so much! We had a lot of fun.
Wicked cool! The day I got my license way back in 1983...my friend's Dad said I could come and borrow his 1979 Chrysler 300 for the night. This beautiful white on red interior car had 14000 miles on it and was in MINT condition! I'd previously had the pleasure of driving it prior while on my learner's permit with his Dad in the car. Let's just say I was the more responsible of the two (his son) of us...so when he offered the car, I accepted quick!! I picked it up after having my Dad drop me off. Even he couldn't believe I was going to have a cool ride for the night.
38 years later...I still remember pretty much every moment of that evening. It was very cool and the 300 got maybe 150 miles added to it. Dropped it off at my friend's house precisely at 1 am (when my newly printed license expired unless I had a licensed driver over 21 with me) and walked home. I know, it's not a McLaren F1...what car is? But when you're 16 and just got your license hours before...it might as well as been. Corinthian leather too!!
In the late 90s after enjoying the Concorso Italiano, at that time held at the Quail, I was in my rental car stuck in event exit traffic behind an orange McLaren F1, the license plate on that car in front of me was "SUBTLE" (California plate)
The F1 looks the same age next to the murcielago and the merc, that car is timeless
Thank you for the backstory, Ed. Loved Episode 1 of CT 5. Very, very well done! I asked Freddy on his channel if we could expect any "unsheathed undercarriages", but he never responded. :) Looking forward to Episode 2.
That paint color with that leather is just perfect.
That has got to be the coolest color ever. I wish manufacturers made greens like this. I would paint my Porsche like that in a heartbeat!
Love it. You guys hit it out of the park with each series. As long as you keep making them I'll keep watching them.
So happy you got to have that experience ed. Thats amazing. I used to have so many posters of this car. Absolutely love the f1
And now, Gordon Murray has designed something even more amazing.
Highly doubt it will go down in history the same way this has
I believe Mr Murray’s T50 will be the last great ICE super car ⚡️⭐️❤️
@@amospizzey1 since the f1 already exists, Gordon Murray’s will not go down in history at all sorry.
If the f1 didn’t exist I’d say you’d be right but the f1already exists so……
I saw the title and hoped this was an Ed Story. I was not disappointed.
I can’t think of three better hosts…friendship can’t be faked! I love it!
I love how only Ed was allowed to drive the F1.🤣🤣
Sounded like he was the only one willing to take the financial risk.
One of those blessings that is equally a curse.
I always appreciate a TH-camr who appreciates their audience and admits that it's 'we' they owe their success to as in this is a mutual appreciation relationship. It's something the legacy mass-broadcast media rarely ever admitted, and we are so taken for granted by them even today, and the reason for their decline. Thanks Ed and the Vinwiki crew!
Glad you have fun
I’m glad all three of you have fun
It’s seems real genuine and that’s what makes the show seem genuine and makes it fun to watch
I may not get to be there but I’m as close as I can get
Again y’all are making a fantastic show
It’s another fantastic season and again it’s shaping up to be everything American top gear wished it was
It’s really hard to budget a genuine connection between the hosts. I’m sure you aren’t best friends but y’all are more than well acquainted enough to make it work. That’s what really made British top gear so good and was what American top gear completely lacked.
Ed, you literally lived my long life dream, driving a F1, I'm happy for you it has happened to you as a super car enthusiasts that admires and appreciates this Legend! Thank you for sharing!
So amazing you got this opportunity. That color made me tear up. So beautiful 😍
The way he spoke, you could feel his excitement. Would be fun if you could do something like this for a lucky viewer
Some things you can't own, but that was some shrewd negotiating on Mr. Bolian's behalf.
Bravo!
I was 5 when it set the production car speed record. Been my favorite car ever since.
I've gotta say I absolutely love everything Ed and the boys do, it's top shelf car content everytime and we're all super lucky to have people like these guys that take the time to make these awesome vlogs! Keep up the awesomeness Ed! LoL! You are greatly appreciated!
My three dream cars.
1. koenigsegg agera (car show car)
2. 1965 Shelby Daytona (classic weekend ride)
3. Jeep grand cherokee trackhawk (my daily driver)
Wow! What an amazing story and experience for all of you.
In 2001 I worked in Boston as VP for a software startup. A board member had a new F1 that he drove to our monthly board meetings. I did not even know what it was, but I did enjoy hanging around it in the parking lot. Pretty amazing to think this car was just left to chill parked next to my Maxima in a mostly empty parking lot. I remember thinking the design was beautiful and the 3 seat configuration was very cool for an expensive little sports car. Now I wish I had taken the time to get the owner to take me out for a spin. He was a cool investor who would show up in cargo shorts, sandals and a tee shirt to keep an eye on the company he had invested his fund in.
I asked how you were the one able to drive the F1 in Episode 1. Now I know! Thanks for that! I need to make a trip down to Rev Institute as it's only a 3 hour drive for me.
Yes, come visit the Revs! It is open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Must purchase tickets in advance. Docent tours are totally worth it. On Saturdays, the doors to the shop are open so you can get a glimpse into that magical (and amazingly clean) place while the mechanics are off. See you there!
I need a off-road car trek, Land Rover discovery, Jeep Wrangler and a samurai or something
When i think about 20M+ for a 1992 car, suddenly it becomes less radical when i see it's beauty and all the tech work put on it. And then, seeing the 3 huge smiles on board makes full circle. Happy for you guys! New Achieve Unlocked.
Amazing car trek series Ed
All three of you are great together
Keep it going
Hopefully one day you own an mclaren f1
You guys are definitively the next Top Gear, glad that that spirit won't go away with the current trio
I got to see this exact F1 in Naples several years ago. That was a bucket list item and I can't imagine actually driving it.
So excited to watch this episode. I was born on Amelia Island and actually followed a Bugatti Veyron to that same boat ramp 8-9 years ago!! That was a childhood dream come to life - I wish I had known this was happening, I was out of town for this year's Concours.
Thank you Ed thanks to your shrewd negotiating tactics and tips I’ve just purchased one of my dream cars for a great price I purchased a running and driving G8 GT for 5500$ after repairs before interest im looking at just under 10,000 original asking price was 8500
McLaren F1 is dream car for anyone in their 30ties , Right from playing in NFS2.... Glad to see you guys were able to experience it (live every car guys dream...) Excited for the rest of the series and best of luck..
So happy they took a risk and let you guys do that. It speaks volumes.
Cruising the Coast coming up in a few weeks , I will be rocking my Vinwiki gear
I fell in love with the F-1 in 1996 as a 20 year old. 2 years after that I spotted a silver one driving in Dallas. That memory is etched in my brain! It is the epitome of automobile perfection. One day I will see one in person again, one day.
I love it when these guys like Ed, Tavares’s, and even Doug DeMuro talk about not being able to afford to fix it if it breaks. If it breaks and it cost $20,000- $40k to fix, some of you guys have hundreds of thousands of dollars of car equity sitting around in your garage. I’m pretty sure you could fix it lol
The Revs Institute is Absolutely Amazing. Need an appointment to go but Sooo worth it. The docents are all car buffs specializing in the area where they work. Spending as much time with you as you’d like, dropping tons of insights. Soooo personalized. The Mac 22 (was) sitting just off to the side of the entry hall. Couldn’t walk around it, but could get very close. Just not as close as these three yahoos. Soo lucky.
I have to agree with you on the McLaren F1, absolutely a amazing car
The F1 in that green is just the bee's knees.
Happy for you guys, you're all really hard workers and you deserve it. Thank you for the entertainment!
So glad you got to live out one of your dreams Ed, congratulations.
been here since like 60k subs, THIS IS AMAZING! Congrats Ed and everyone else at VinWiki!
Genuinely thank you so much for this video. It's highly unlikely my financial trajectory will align with this car in this lifetime, so I love hearing first hand accounts from people that have driven them! Happy you're one of them!
Man I have loved Car Trek, and the McLaren F1 is the most awesome car I have ever heard of. I remember watching and learning everything about it as a kid when it first came out. My computer started up with the sound of a McLaren, every sound was a McLaren, the wallpaper was a McLaren, the cursor was a McLaren... Anyway Thanks for the video. Very awesome.
Every single vinwiki car story I’ve watched (and there’s been many) I have thoroughly enjoyed not only because they’re fantastic stories but also because they’re told by fantastic story tellers. Is it just some supernatural gift that once you become a car guy, you become an incredible story teller?
As usual amazing story, cool video and Ed's negotiation skill are just...legendary..
you should publish a behind the scenes video from Car Trek, it would be cool to see some of the conversations you guys have setting things up and working through problems.
Ed, have you thought to try to shrewdly negotiate a T50, Gordan Murray's new F1 replacement, a snip at £2.8 million?
My absolute dream car since I was 6 when I did a small article about Bruce Mclaren. When I lived in NZ (I moved to Germany 2020) during the 2020 lockdown, I was fortunate enough to be able to keep working, and so on my normal work journey in the mornings, I see this F1 traveling to the city, which I then saw this same McLaren most mornings for 3months. I thought that was awesome considering how much they're worth etc. Absoute beauty of a car if you ever see one in real life.
I remember seeing my 1st McLaren F1 at the LA International Auto Show.
Ed is a real raconteur.
Crazy, I've seen that car before like ten years ago. I used to make deliveries to his museum in Naples. Don't get a CDL kids, it was a waste of ten years of my life...
i never seen ed drool like a geedy school girl but then again it's a McLaren F1
That car still looks fantastic! I remember seeing one in Woodside, CA. in the 1990s. It was a dark burgundy/brown color, epic car.
There is still some roaming around the Bay Area. I saw one in Berkeley a couple years back.
Car Treck is the true replacement for the original Top Gear series with the three amigos you guys are the new three amigos keep it up
Now that's what you call a shrewd negotiation. Good on you Ed👍
The only thing cooler would be to get to drive George Harrison's F1, with Paul and Ringo as passengers.
Alright, you won life. Nothing will top this.
Except buying the cheapest one
