Richard if your serious, buying an Evo to go along with the sti is absolutely a great idea. Few cars from the past 2 decades have such an enthusiastic following.

Richard having Martin's bottom bits painted is an excellent idea from a cinematographic POV as history has shown he's bound to roll it at some point.

Good to see you giving her proper care. I've had mine for 16 years and I too just feel good around her😄 Always enjoy watching videos with this Subie.

Yes, please buy that Evo. Martin needs a brother. Make an episode where James drives the Evo while you drive the Impreza and hang out somewhere or something. That'll be awesome to watch.

@@cloeybandson1783not that Richard doesn't trust his employees, that's a silly (i.e. bad) advertisement for his company, I imagine it's more to do that this garage specializes in Imprezas, there might be a TV shoot at the workshop, and his mechanics specialize in restoring a car, not giving service maintenance -which is way simpler, but that wastes their expertise and time.

Glad you're looking after Martin properly :)

I love the fact (being a Subaru owner myself ) that you are so loved up with Martin, considering you have the access to everything. A big yes for the Evo ! Ive always wanted to own one although i consider them to be a tad fragile....Please go and find one that needs some TLC and save !

We are the same age!! Never drove the type cars as you, but accepting new ways is amazing!!

These videos are always great, would love to see an evo back with Martin.

I really hope Richard reads this himself. I really love you passion for cars. I wish i could sit down with you around a couple of cars and beers and just chat away. The way you talk about cars are exactly how I do. Its so weird for me because there are not many people that I know that can do that. So it makes it hard for conversation. I think cars are like music and art. All cars bring some sort of emotion to me and they all have a very personal identity and I love they way you bring that to us as viewers. Thank you for giving us your day off and sharing it. You awesome. Say Hi to Oliver for me.

Go for it!!!

ABSOLUTELY and Evo for your next project. Do it

10:55 "the sound of my youth, the sense of hopelessness" yeah, same but in my case, because my folks could only afford junkers and if we couldn't get it running, then we were screwed that sound of a starter that won't catch, tho that sound is brutal (especially if your hands are already frozen, because the garage is unheated in northern Minnesota in February in the 1970s / 1980s, but you are going to have to dive back into it so Mom can go to work on Monday)

The top gear editing and jokes lol spot on mate

My one has a sort of clicky knock on the same side, same wheel, I thought it was the drop link but my mechanic friend said no. I can only really hear it when the passenger side window is down. Thumbs up.

Go for it Richard!!!!

A big YES for a yellow Evo project, aaanndd bring James on the series. Please bring him on and do a long challenges episode as well. ❤

it is the best idea for next project - i have 2 of them. Strongly recommend it to u

Absolutely you need an Envo to keep Martin company! It is the LAW! 😉

Go for it Ricard....

Totally YES on Lancer project! Blue Martin and red Lancer :D

EVO is the best care ever made. Had a few, love them all. Please, get one on a chanel. 😊

Yes yes get evo on too. Good idea. I owned one back in 2001 loved it

Yes! Great idea!

That EVO. A co-worker had one. One evening at quitting time I walked out to my my car only to see his EVO totaled on the road outside of work. He'd just turned onto the roadway when a car pulled out of the carwash on the other side of the road just as he had floored the EVO. Neither had expected the other car and BAM! both cars totaled.

Richard, YES!

Definitely get an Evo alongside Martin! 👍

You just turned into the specific eastern-european client that just blows air into the back of the mechanic haha. I am same, I do admit, I like to see the work carried on to my car, some mechanics have a laugh and enjoy the company, some they remove you of premises 😂 That was a very top notch pampering for Martin and yes, he deserves a brother ❤ We all love an Evo deep down 😁

Richard is my new Jdm hero!

Yes. Go for an Evo aswell. Would love to see that!

Martin and EVOlyn (Evelyn) would make a great couple. I support it wholeheartedly.

Yes. Martin needs a friend and what better friend then an evo. Also can’t wait to see Martin all painted up nice underneath

Logic indeed my man... I like your thinking

That wheel stand Richard , Cool piece of kit , Never seen that before 👍👍💯💯 ...My answer is Yes of course

Absolutely 110% there needs to be an Evo. I got excited when you started saying that!

YES AND TREAT YOURSELF ❤

Yes to getting an Evo! I have always been team Mitsubishi, but what an epic rivalry they had!
