Most "collectors" are in it to show off what their money can but, Jay is the kind of guy who appreciates the history and technology inherent to vintage machines. He would opt for a great auto for the pure enjoyment rather than being able to say "look what I can afford and you can't". A true afficianado and a down to earth man. He is the kind of guy every man would love to have as his father or uncle.

I remember one of his videos where he was talking about a certain exotic car company's stipulation that only their $80 a quart motor oil was to be used. In his typical no-nonsense fashion, he stated that he was pretty sure this particular company didn't have their own oil refinery, and that their expensive brand name oil wasn't any better than any good quality off the shelf motor oil. He even poked fun at himself stating that he knew it sounded funny for a car guy with his financial resources to be quibbling about the price of motor oil for a car that cost more than a lot of people make in a year. You have to respect someone who knows when to let their common sense draw the line between necessary and ridiculous.

I had to smile at the Easy-Weld repair on the Brough sidecar - I never cease to wonder at the brains of the “That’ll do” brigade! I used to be in the game and once bought a Hillman Avenger that needed some steelwork replacing, as they all did - they were built with steel that was already rusting and would be like a lace curtain after 5 or so years! The inner door sills were rotten, but surprisingly, the outers looked okay, so had obviously had some attention already. I put the car up on the ramp and started to tap around one of the inner sills to expose how bad the metal was …suddenly, the entire “new” outer sill dropped onto the ramp with a loud crash and broke apart - it was made of concrete!!! Luckily my hands and arms were out of the way, or it would have been a hospital case. Both outer sills had been fashioned in concrete, smoothly finished and painted well. It must have been so much work to do, yet useless and dangerous too. It would have been far easier to do the job properly I’m sure, but Jay is right, you can never believe just your eyes with other peoples’ “repairs” - it looked perfect, even with a shine on it. I wish I knew the guy, as I would have hired him in a heartbeat for any concrete work I needed! 😂

“If you’re making money on restorations, you’re doing it wrong.” 😏 Hear, hear! There are too many “investors” in the classic car/bike market today. Even Barn Find Hunters, a show I otherwise enjoy a lot, gives you the impression that when you can’t turn a profit on it, it’s not worth restoring. Luckily, Jay is far above and beyond any such financial interests. 👍🏻

It's called REALITY...No point in restoring a classic car, if you are LIVING in it...

Love those restoration blogs as much as I love the car blogs. It is always fun and entertaining as well as interesting and informative. I´ve been watching these Blogs for years now and I can´t wait for the next one each week. Thanks for taking the time to release a new video every week! The only thing I was wondering about was where the Cobra Video has gone! I loved the "There´s nothing like a Cobra - no airbags, no doorguards - just Cobra!" Been watching it a few times...
