Default Motoring through Olde England

What fun it is in the front seat with Mart as we drive (wrong side) LOL around England on the way to get groceries. I can't seem to figure out the streets but the ride is outta sight! Whether in his 33 coupe or working in the garage, it is just like being there with him. The Crusty Flathead was quite a "resurrection." The only thing I don't get is scraped knuckles. I hope we get a few more trips around town sometime. I am sure there will be more shop videos and it is enjoyable to go back and watch the older ones. With my respect to Jay Leno, Mart's Garage is the one for me! Thank you Mart.

Mart is great because he loves what he does and is the real deal that
car folks can relate to as he actually gets his hands dirty. Would love to have
a next door neighbor like him.

I also enjoy Mart's videos. I wished I had watched his video on removing block studs before I tackled that task. About 1 year too late.

A few more rides with Mart and I'll know which exit to use off the roundabout to get to his house.

I agree with all the above posts....especially the one about having Mart for a neighbor.....I wonder how he feels about living in..... “New England”.....his cars already have the steering wheel on the left.....Mark

Ditto on all of the above. Since selling my 52, the only flathead i can listen to is MART'S.
I need to find a car. Nothing available in Ohio that isn't $$$$$$$$$$$.
Another "nice ride" is MercCruiser.
God bless our Veterans !!!!!!!!!!!!!
