This weeks video is about my media journey. One of the big questions I get is, how did you get your job? It was a wild mix of talent, drive and opportunity. Here's the whole story!

Hey guys, I'm sorry to say that our Patreon supporters have used their two day advantage to snap up my remaining copies of Slick 6 Packs. We are Sold Out!
Yes we did :-)
Wrong account?
wrong?
@@blownhemi Replied using the Street Machine account to a comment on your own TH-cam channel is what I was referring to.
@@andywiththen Ahhh, yes. Well Spotted. I forgot to switch accounts.
Australia is what it is because of blokes like you Scotty. A Dad. A Car Nut. An Entrepreneur. A Husband. A Mate. It's good to know ya bloke!
Thanks mate
I miss the whole "printed media", they were awesome days in my late teens, early twenties waiting for them to show up in the post.
Yeah, I used to buy and read them all. I reckon I spent $50 a week on magazines alone.
@@blownhemi
I used too buy every street machine mag for years started around 88 I had piles like behind you in the video lol but i got sick of moving them
@@NZMOPAR they're heavy to move, that's for sure
I think people like you mate because your a normal bloke, genuine bloke with real world problems like a lot of others out here, grinding away, making opportunities for you and your family! Hats off to you and can only wish the best for you as this progresses and builds, is there any back lash from street machine at all or are they happy to have you creating beside/ with them? 👍👍👍
They've always been fine with me doing Scotty's Garage. That was stated right from the start
Love these videos from time to time.
Dont ever apologise for using what my family call "garage words" in Scotty's garage. They're in context and areused like salt and pepper to enhance the story, and really show your emotions.
This feels like a chat with a mate in a garage.
Shed chats.
Finding it really interesting to 'get to know' the man we see on camera at carnage.
The algorithm showed me your channel.
Keep it up Scotty!
Damn man, seeing emotional Scotty hits hard. I wish I could support more in the way of money, but with a mortgage and kid I'm struggling myself. But I'll always slap a like and comment so hopefully that helps even in a little way ❤
Amazing story Scotty, the part describing your son's arrival really struck a chord with me too. I've done the 1am follow-the-ambulance-to-NICU drive myself when my son was born and it was VERY touch and go, so I totally sympathise that's for sure.
Also another vote here for a Scotty's Campfire Stories series, I love that idea!
Been watching since the 13s for $1300 days. Always loved the Scotty style. No matter which platform you're on I'll watch, thanks for everything Scotty and wish you nothing but good luck and longevity to any of the projects you're involved in
My name is scotty Kerrigan and this is my story
Brilliant story. Credit where credit is due, very candid and and I appreciate the fact that we all get to know a more personal side of you and what it has taken you to get to this point in your life and career..
We all love ❤️ you Scotty !!! We wish you all the best with the new chapter of your life mate !!! 😜👍🇦🇺
'Cars of Scotty' would definitely be a future video idea to create.
Been watching you for years Scotty and had you pegged as a bit of a bogan with only a basic idea of what you were doing- but after watching this video I have to admit I've misjudged you. Your a salt of the earth car nut who deserves more recognition for your efforts. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to future videos.
Great personal history episode. I was one of those people who only bought a magazine for the free video. The newsagents had racks full of them. These days, very few magazines are available, with no DVDs anymore. The newsagents are also disappearing as well now. TH-cam and Google supply all you need these days. Thanks for the memories and updates. ❤
TH-cam and google are good but I think there's still a place for magazines. Proper journalism is a dying art, now it's sensationalism for clicks.
@blownhemi Sadly Proper Journalism also disappeared with all the newspaper amalgamations. Many good journalists lost their jobs and never returned to the industry. Local country and community papers are gone.
@blownhemi Definitely wouldn't catch me reading 10 paragraphs on my phone, but a magazine? You'll catch me there
Im not gonna lie, but i was getting emotional & teary along with you, mate! You're a great Dad & husband!! I got angry about the haters... fuck 'em, they're just sore they have no talent & do bugger all with their lives. We love you, Scotty... never forget that, mate! Im looking forward to more Scottys Garage content... just don't burn yourself out on our account!!! Cheers. Leigh.
Thanks mate
Wow, im old enough to remember reading your name in all those early magazines, and your colleagues.
Thank you for everything you have done for the Australian car scene and making me realise the history and proud to be a car enthusiast in Australia. And on personal level thank you for being yourself and speaking the truth about how you felt great to see. Been watching your stuff since high school even bought a ef falcon back in the day when you did 13s for 1300. Dont change we all love ya mate and all power to you
WOW that's a pretty cool story. One to be proud of for sure. Your passion for the cars definitely shines through and it's obviously reflected by the views and support your getting. Well deserved.
Maybe Scottys Camp Fire Stories needs to be a thing. All those adventures, you're bound to have many.
Keep up the good work
Thanks mate
Good viewing, Scotty. Was never really a Chrysler person, so had no idea you had a magazine. A real bit of history there and I’m not surprised those slick 6 packs are already gone 🔥
I also remember a issue of SM in the 90s where they were raving about a 300hp Holden 8, so 400+ would have been nuts at the time 🔥
I still have copies of Street Commodores too, but no DVD 😂
I remember a friend of mine having a hot 350 HT Monaro that made about 350hp. Back in the days where you had to take the engine out of the car if you wanted to know what it made. Ran low 13's, that was seriously fast back in the mid 80's.
Scotty's Cars. From first drive on dad's lap to having a license to Hoon. I'm a 4th gen petrol head and love watching new shows. Keep them coming.
I think the biggest thing is Scotty is that this is real. We miss that as people. A true journey of hard work and perseverance and you deserve all the success you get from your pursuits. Keep going mate.
Never knew the back story, but I’m glad I’m on board to follow the journey from here. Keep up the good work Scotty.
What a yarn. Good on you Scotty. Had no idea of the back story and the hard work you’ve put into the car scene in Australia.
I didn't even mention Drag Challenge
@@blownhemi
Mate, I think it’s important for the channel to lay the back story out. I’m new. I feel like this is a piece of Australian car history I just wasn’t aware of, but I’m keen to listen, learn and have a beer while you tell me all about it out it.
Hey Scotty, I've been watching you because I can relate to you, and I love Cars and Trucks. You always take time to answer if I happen to say something sensible. Cheers mate.
Great video Scotty, and a great story, this is the stuff people love to watch, a good example is cleetus, (garrett) as viewers we get to see him, his channel, his business and his family grow, same with yourself, we’re all here for the ride..
as a bloke who has a mentally and physically disabled sister my whole life and the experiences weave had, i know it can be extremely tough! your a top bloke and keep up the good work! your 13s for 1300 half inspired me doing the youtubes!
Thanks for been there for us all Scotty love the videos and to think I used to buy those magazines when I was like 10 years old and here iam watching you on TH-cam all these years later love your work mate
Thanks mate
Scotty love the fact that you like the mopars . There are plenty of us out there that want mopars looked at . I myself have a couple that had seen writ ups in a mag . Keep doing it Scotty your the man I love to watch. Honesty is rare these days.
Great trip down memory lane Scotty, I miss the old print media. Zoom was the best mag, it had a bit of everything👌🏻
I used to enjoy Zoom as well. I always liked cool engine swaps
Hey Scotty, a wonderful episode. Very different to Carnage, and I loved it. You have had quite the journey. My take away is, your a proud family man that loves cars. So am I. 👍
Been looking forward to this one Scotty, loving the frequent vids!
Happy birthday ol' boy!
Thanks mate
Love a stroll down memory lane, thank you for the video.
People really do suck. I really hate that happened you Scott. My eyes are welling up thinking about it. Im about to cry first time since my Dad passed 10 years ago. Keep doing what you do. Prayers to your son and family.
If any of you "scumbags" Scotty is referring to are reading this, just know there is special kind of hell waiting for you hopefully in this life, but most definitely in the next.
Yeah, trolls do deserve a special place in hell. Thanks for your kind words mate
Just to update. I i did cry... What a p*ssy. ;-D
How about an episode sitting with Telf and/or Seddo talking about memorable stories from the past on Street Machine or other magazines? I think it would be fun to hear stuff yo guys got up to and interesting to hear what made it into your memory banks.
It would be cool, but we all live so far apart
Holy shit Scotty i didn't realise I had been buying your material for all these years.... Probably explains why when I met you at the bend big 4 it felt like talking to an old mate. Cheers mate, keep up the great work the patreons coming i said give me a couple epps and your on..
You are a top block Scotty been following U since Scotty's garage luv ya work 👍
Wow the 90s yep I remember ,slow internet and yes I got the slick 6 mag as well as I used to play with valiants around that time. The best part of the nineties was that you could buy a valiant charger for a few hundred dollars and drive it home.
I did plenty of that. Most of my Valiants were $1000 or less
You tell a great story mate
Screw the haters mate keen to see what's coming up love the trolvo cant wait to see it again not sure where you're putting it thou ha ha ha ha
Such an interesting story. I think many will agree, that 1 hour went so damn quick. VZ Senator quick even :)
@chris929rr7 haha, thanks mate. I'm editing the my cars story right now, it might end up slightly longer
I had no idea you had a hand in all these mags I was frothin in my teens! I was absolutely fangin for v6 vengeance updates back in the day
TH-cam didn't save your arse, - YOU DID, The whole time I've known you you have always been a "Can do" bloke.
Thanks for the walk back - lots of great names and people.
Although I think you were quite kind in your comments about Express..... LOL
LOL, yeah, there's more I could have said there.
@@blownhemi Almost a whole show just on that :P
Absolutely loved this video Scotty. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Very unfortunate that there are haters in this world and the rise of social has given them a voice. Don’t waste your energy them and keep doing what you do.
Cars of Scotty and the life of Scotty pre media, I’m keen to hear all the stories!
I have a good feeling this Scotty’s Garage channel is going to exceed your expectations and be the beginning of something big. You’re a very relatable every day bloke, that I’m sure so many of your viewers can desire to.
I remember the Oakleigh office, atherton rd, someone there rode a bike everyday parked side front, i would buzz by ,3.30 leaving work everyday, on my 2 stroke😎😎
Yeah, there were several bikes guys at the Oakleigh office
Great story Scotty. I bought most of those mags. Performance Street Car was my fav though. Less bling than Street Machine but more relatable to the average guy with an average looking car that wanted to go fast.
I was a big fan of Performance Street Car back in the day
Scotty Cool story .. got a bit of saltwater in the corner of my eye.
Do a sit down once and while about your old cars with mates that know the cars … in a beers on the couch style
How far has anyone pushed a 265 … turbo set up?
Cool story, for a non-aussi all this are unknown to me. Your are legend!
Thanks mate
Good luck Scotty, best wishes for the future you deserve it mate
LEGEND Scotty :-)
Interesting story mate and as an older bloke you brought back a lotta memories.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Scotty
Really enjoyed listening to the Scotty Story, keep up the great work on Carnage & looking forward to the next edition of Scotty’s Garage.
Cheers Aaron
i will buy one of those 6 pack mags
All sold sorry
I’m listening to this like a podcast whilst in the shed fixing nuggets
Thanks mate, yeah it seems like a few people are doing the same.
Wow, what a story. What a ride. The most impressive part is the parallel between your broken jaw, where you hold no animosity towards your mate for delivering the kick, and the people you’ve bumped into along your journey and how you’ve discreetly brushed past some not so happy episodes in your journey without shitcanning anyone. You’ve lived an interesting personal and business life, Mr T. Thanks for sharing with us 👍✌️
He felt really bad about it, came and sat with me in the emergency ward and everything. It's was just a freak thing. It's been an interesting journey so far, but hopefully I'm not done yet.
Great story and was great to put all the pieces together, I never paid attention to the names in mags to be honest.
V6 Vengeance started just as I got my licence so although I was all about my VL's at the time, I was always interested in the VN's V6 journey in the mag!
Thank you Scotty ❤️
I can't offer much apart from my love and support, as always love watching your vids helps things seem a little less crap. 😊
In our travels to and from the croc garden and radio station might get a chance to say Hi. 🙂
Only just found your channel and love it and the honesty that's mate
@@richardmorris5921 thank you
Thanks, Scott. Great story. I didn't know before about MotorTrend and the YT $5M. I suspect that probably also included some of their other shows like Roadkill Garage and Dirt Every Day. But yeah, I imagine they cost a lot to produce. Support crews and insurance. And they probably get the shitboxes thoroughly checked over before they get anywhere near a public road.
Roadkill Garage came later, but I believe Dirt Every Day was probably part of the 5 million deal. I don't think anyone checks the cars before they hit the road, though. I've seen a lot of them up close and personal on one of my US trips, and they are rough as hell. They make Carnage cars look like show pieces in comparison.
Loads of personal info there mate. Thanks for sharing
What a journey scotty, thanks for sharing Can't wait for the builds
Great video Scotty, love the fact that it’s raw and real 🤙🏼 keep up the cool content mate
Great story Scotty. You're a true inspiration of the car scene. After watching you do up your dad's ute on carnage, you inspired me to get my VG Valiant ute back on the road for Deni last year. We got it done in about 40days.
Anyway I'd be keen to for you to do a few videos on the cars of Scotty, and also the life of Scotty before getting to this point. But only if it sits well with you.
You're a champion mate. Love your work, keep it up. 👍👍
Are you enjoying the VG ute? How did it turn out? Glad to inspire you
Absolutely love it. I've kept the original look, it's got a slight bit of patina about it. They are only original once. Currently running a 245 hemi and 3 on the tree. Cruises around nice. Although I'm currently building a mild 318 to go in it. So watch this space 🤣🤣🤣.
Thanks again Scotty 👍👍👍
Outstanding old boy…😜
I noticed an ad for des and grays autos in there. Grey used to be my neighbour
Is it weird to love another bloke that you haven’t ever met?
I know what I’m doing tonight, digging out my street commode dvds to take me back to those times.
I think the reason we love carnage is because of Scotty, content is one thing but to receive it from such a man makes it what it is!
There’s fakes out there but you are the real deal and we love you for it ❤
Good luck with everything 👍
Cheers for the yarn from New Zealand..
Fantastic story, didnt realise how involved you have been in magazine's. Watched every carnage video, highlight of my week now double the scotty coming at us. How good!
I’d be after a slick 6 pack magazine if I could please
Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the Chanel
I’ve been watching carnage for ages
And it truly inspires me to get out in the shed and work on the projects
I'm sorry to say they're all gone
@@blownhemi that’s ok thanks heaps for replying Scottie. Loved this episode
Your a legend mate, thanks for sharing your story 👍 looking forward to the vids ahead
Thanks 👍
Looking forward to the rebirth of the channel 👍🏻
Great vid. You made me realise how old i really am. Keep up the vids and good luck.
I’m 16 and this is an amazing insight into what the journalism industry and working in the industry of car magazines used to be like. Hoping to work with cars in the future. Amazing to hear how you have come about making content on cars and I am looking forward to seeing what this channel becomes in the years to come. Have loved some of the previous projects on streetmachine 👍
Bloody good yarn 🍻
Hey Scotty
Great story !!!
You have done some amazing things…
Hate to hear about the haters….
That’s part of being out there I guess
Just ignore the negativity and trolls
Your doing great things
Cheers
That was a good watch.
Up here in England, it was interesting to hear about Aussie magazines and stuff.
Thanks for the back story
Thanks for sharing, Scotty.
I had made good friends with the team at Street Fords (EP’s other side of the coin to Street Commodores) 15-20 years back and caught up with them every time they were in Victoria. They’d asked me at one point of I’d consider moving to Sydney to write or do video content for them- I was kind of glad that I declined after hearing about EP’s toxic work environment.
You are a genuine true blue Aussie mate and you have inspired a lot of people to give things a go. Doing things on a budget and still having fun gives those of us with little amounts of spare money to put into our passions that little bit of motivation. Keep it up please and thankyou.
A lot of magazine names that i havent heard in a long time!
Just subed on your channel looking forward to your story mate and your journey.
Thanks mate
I’d love to hear the full story 🤙🏽
You’ve answered all my questions about you , I’m surprised you remembered so many names lol
I even shed a tear ya bugga .
Looking forward to videos and hope to meet you one day , cheers
Gday mate
I use to buy and read all the VN V6 project mags as i had a VN Calais back then
Keep up the amazing work dude look forward to the next video
Hey Scotty, would be interesting if you done a story on the modifications and steps you went through with V6 vengence (the red vn 6 cyl).
Scotty you're a real true Australian bloke keep soldering on good luck to you and the family love your work 👍
Scotty you are right to speak that way, Fuck the haters
I enjoyed this episode, I can’t normally sit through an hour video but you come across so genuine, I actually didn’t know you were so involved in the magazine industry.
Hope Alex is travelling ok, can completely empathise will you on how hard having a sick/disabled child is on not only their lives but yours as well.
Thanks mate, yeah people forget about the magazine stuff now that the interest and video seems to have taken over our lives.
All I used to read was street commodore's growing up, it was a blessing and a curse since I'm now a mechanic 😂
I remember on the back of street fords full back cover was Jim mock motorsport. Those guys were huge in the NA e series scene before the xr6 turbos started to get modified.
Scotty, thanks for the background video. I like the long format podcast type format, it means I can put the head phones in a either go for a walk or listen whilst I do other things, like work, with out having to look at the screen all the time. It would be great I you could do a few more and even interview/ talk shit with other like minded people. Scotty’s cars would be interesting.
I’m one of seven boys and always joke that I should write a book called “cars my brothers have crashed”
Keep up the good work.😊
Sounds like a great title. I've got to say that while the video seems popular with those who have watched it, I think the length might be putting people off because it's not getting as many views. That makes me hesitant to do many like this.
We all love you Scotty, you are a honest genuine person that brings a refreshing attitude to videos, started watching you doing the 13s for $1300.
Carnage wouldn't be as good if it wasn't for you.
Great story, id like yo hear more. The sound was fine. Great stuff mate.
Yeah, the sounds wasn't too bad. My new microphone showed up yesterday so moving forward it should be better. We'll after I finish editing the new few videos I shot without the microphone first
@blownhemi All good mate. I really enjoy both channels...👍
Love these type of videos. Awesome, hearing the back story.
Good video Scotty a great insight to your journey
Thank you
Great video Scotty love the story.
Glad you enjoyed it
I got the V6 Handbook with a copy of Street Commodores, and i probably memorized that book because i had a VN V6 powered KE70 Wagon. Zoom was also a favorite mag
The Cars of Scotty - yes please.
I remember the time v6 vengeance came out , was a big influence to me with my first 6s!
