SHED RACING Introduction & MGB! 

Just found your channel. It's great. Like a kid in a candy store with all the great content. I had no idea you could get an mgb to run like that however I have seen bunches of them running at Goodwood . I will now be binging on your videos. Best of luck!

Good to see you back Ivan . Christian … don’t take the P out of your granddad, he won’t be around forever. He’s a smashing bloke.

Glad you’re all sorted . Please let’s see more of the Lotus Seven.

Great little car! I'd love to drive one some day! Plus all the other fantastic cars all throughout the video! This channel is gonna ROCK!! 18:39 What a DRIVER TOO! LOL. Wow! He's fearless and I love it! Thank you!

In 1983 I bought a '67 MGB with a Weber conversion and overdrive. I rebuilt the engine & had it balanced by the machine shop all the way out to the clutch pressure plate. Then drove it cross-country from Fresno, CA to South Carolina. The overdrive was wonderful. Wasn't a race engine, but pretty close. Ran beautifully & the was smoothest, most vibration-free MGB engine I ever saw. Sadly had to sell it for $1,400 (broke). Probably had less than 6,000 miles on that rebuilt engine. The teenager who bought it immediately totaled it. Somebody got a great MGB engine out of the salvage.

Hello Ivan, had no idea you were doing these videos but someone at a car show told us about them. I've looked at a few now and they're bloody great. Used to love listening to you and my father in law Brian Hughes chatting at Beaulieu but that was only once a year. As you know Brian's gone on now and I miss the old car banter! Anyway....really enjoying your films and I'll end up most likely watching them all. Good luck.👍

On board with Shed Racing. Christian well and truly elbowed!!

Hello there Mr. Dutton, I've only just stumbled across your videos,and have enjoyed watching what you've posted. I'm currently in Japan, working for the US Army on Blackhawks, although I'm a sailor and retired from active duty where I worked on Seahawks. Anyway my parents immigrated to the states after WWII from London. You remind me of my Uncle, George Tufnell, he lived in Sudbury. He used to race stock cars in the 50's & into the 60's if I'm not mistaken. Later he was involved with stationary engines and antique cars, I remember seeing a very large Bentley and a small Triumph herald as a kid on vacation visiting in '76. He would make any part needed for them in his shed as he was also a very talented engineer and machinist like you guys. Again, it's refreshing seeing you guys solve the problems (without throwing your tools all over the place and having tantrums). Cj

The new name is OK with me ,I'm sitting in my shed with my cars watching this anyway. There is no school like old-school when it comes to these old cars, all four of my cars have carbon throw out bearings and as long as you don't keep your foot on the clutch the last forever. Keep your foot on the gas. Cheers👍

When the notification came in for "Shed Racing" I thought who is this. Of course it's 'Ivans barn' renamed. Luckily I started watching. Great content! Look forward to the next episodes. If you were paying for the "Ivans Shed" videos the copyright on them should be yours.

I too was puzzled by the various channel name changes etc. However, I now look forward to your new content. It really is a pity that the Ferrari content never got made, it really would have garnered a lot of views. Cant help thinking a certain young man has shot himself in the foot, but there you go, youth is wasted on the young!

That bonnet flying up didn't cause the least panic! 😊Reminded me of when I was squeezing between a Merc and the Armco on a French autoroute; I was driving a Grinnall Scorpion 3, wearing a full face helmet as it was raining, and was doing an unmentionable speed, when I suddenly went 100% blind! I put a hand up to my face and what had happened was the turbulence in the car had whipped the black helmet bag up from the passenger footwell and stuck it right across the wet visor....very scary indeed.

Thanks so much for your perseverance and positive attitude Ivan. Your Grandson will live to regret what he did to you. The videos are so enjoyable and we all learn a multitude of things each time you talk about the things you do to fettle your cars.

i worked many years in MG spares - restoration - diss assemble - recondition 2nd hand parts = loved it great life ! we were big on rebuilt distributor with vacum advance - and 1 3/4 twin su`s with sports air cleaners and 2 inch straight through muffler - rebuilt fuel pump ! was our performance kit !

I'm so glad to see that you are back Ivan. I really missed your channel. It's one of the most entertaining automotive channels on RU-vid. The quality of the videos is improving rapidly too Josh, well done!

What a joy it is to see you and your garage of dreams back on the radar! Please keep the videos coming!

Lost you for a time Ivan and glad to find you again, brilliant videos. Does this mean we're not allowed to watch the old stuff. I'll put the Tocaloshe man on to Christian.

It is good to see you make the best of a unfortunate turn of events Ivan. Hopefully the young lad will come to realize he squandered a very good opportunity. Glad you found another young one who is getting a great chance to learn. I thoroughly am enjoying your videos and constantly look forward to the next one.

The kids got some reflecting to do, now he's lost out as Ivan has so much expertise and not afraid to impart to anyone who will listen, good luck mate!

i'm a new subscriber, watching all your videos in order. great stuff, thanks!

I think you have probably forgotten more about racing than most people know. Wonderful to watch you work and drive!

The real world just love it, thanks team

Welcome back! Love the accent, we don't hear that very often in South Africa. One of my mates of 40 years standing was a Cockney, he would have loved to see and hear this lot! RIP, Steven. (He passed in June from cancer at the tender age of 62)

Ivan, it’s terrific to see you back, as always your ‘viewership’ are delighted. Josh, you’re doing a great job and a lucky lad, take great pleasure in learning from a master, soak it up. Finally, Christian, you are an ingrate and utter clot.

Great to see you back Ivan, vibrant new channel. Whatever it's called I'll watch it! Christian, you don't know what you've lost. Never take your Grandad for granted. Best of luck, Dean in Oxfordshire.

Fantastic that you are back and have more video’s planned, I hope josh realises what a wealth of information you can pass on to him and wish you both good luck in the future.

Great to see you back Ivan, you really are a breath of fresh air in the world as it is today. Christian will undoubtedly come to reflect upon what he has stupidly squandered in trying to have one over on his Grandad, his loss appears to be a huge gain for Josh. The knowledge, expertise and wisdom from years of experience just cannot be bought, no matter how wealthy one may be, some of today’s youth have some leaning to do! You are always entertaining and educational please continue with the output. Kind regards Mattthew.

Hi Ivan, I really enjoyed all the old videos, a great shame that the young guy became uncooperative, he has learnt a lesson there. I am looking forward to hearing about the prototype air cooled Mini engine that you mentioned after getting the 2 cyl A Series running.

Been a subscriber on the old channel, had gone and subscribed to this one when I caught wind of it, and I'm sad at the state of affairs that led to this. Hopefully this one takes off and gets even more successful. One thing's for sure, the sights you showed us on this video alone is really nice. Love that Ferrari 250, and I tensed up when the MG's bonnet popped up on the windscreen while racing. If these are the kind of things we will be seeing, well, I can't wait for more!

Absolutely love what you're doing. I was wondering if you could try a lavaliere microphone? It is hard to get good audio when there are so many hard reflections in the room, or shed, or barn as the case may be. That being said, I am delighted that there will be more videos and I feel actual joy when I realize something new has been posted and it is as though something has gone right in the world.

good man, keep her lit, I look forward to following your progress 👍

Fair enough Ivan. I’m in. You mentioned Gerry Marshall.....did you ever cross paths with Norman Abbott? He drove a very interesting Cosworth DFA Ford with a rear transaxle....spent an afternoon with him at his Toronto, Canada brake parts factory once. Smart man.

So awesome to see you back, I have given the elbow!!! Welcome onboard Josh 👍

Sounds like a case of 'nose in spite of face...' The young fella will learn. Look forward to lots more videos :)

Hi Ivan, I have been looking out for you for ages, I`m so glad that you are back. So sorry to hear about your trouble with your grandson, sounds like your better off on your own anyway. Hope everything goes well for you in the future and I look forward to more of your very interesting vids. Kindest regards, Paul from Runcorn.

So glad to see that you're well and still having fun tinkering, and you're so right, there is nothing quite like driving time to get better and learn your car, you can spend thousands on your car, but if you haven't had the seat time, you won't be in the top of the field, because they are all the guys that put the time in practising. Subscribed and annoyingly unsubscribed from Ivan's shed (there was some good videos in there) but I'm looking forward to your next video here.

Ivan you have made my day it's great to see you are back at it, keep it up mate love your videos and your stories.

I have been looking for you Ivan, glad your back, looking forward to your stuff. Please don't lose control of this one!!

I am really pleased your back Ivan already looking forward to the next one

Best of luck with this new project

My Dad used to keep a race log of every race including weather and any breakdowns, We used to note anything we thought might be better at the time as soon as I came came into the paddock, it was really useful on prep for next meetings. It improved reliability and performance so much.

Glad to find you on the 'tube once more!

Ivan, well done, always looking for positives in life! Thanks for another great video and will follow you on SR from now. Well done Christian! Your grandson has too much youth, but I hope he finds his way back. Great to catch up with you at Kop Hill recently. Keep the great work up!

Great you back on you tube looking forward to your witty charm

Great to see you back on and looking forward to the next video! Wishing you and the crew all the best from sunny South Florida .. Cheers Mate!

Wondered where you had got to,subscribed to this channel and cancelled the old one.Cheers Ivan,love watching you guys and always learn something 👍

Great to have you back Ivan, and for explaining why you'v not been posting. But now your back and doing what you do best building ,racing and talking cars. Look forward to seeing more.

Great to see you back,I wish you all the best, alls well with the world again thank's from Irish Mike ..

Well done Ivan. I love your battling spirit. I know the MGB will be tweaked to the limit. I worried a bit about you, pleased to see you well. Just removed a thich leaf from the rear springs if my 1935 Riley Falcon and got rid of the bangs, nearly got rid of the oversteer. Cheers, Martin

Well done Ivan and Josh. Brilliant stuff, keep it coming. 👍

🇨🇦 Good to see your channel back on form, keep it up.🇨🇦 👍👍

Great video Ivan. I love the noises from the MG layshafts. Had forgotten about them. From neutral at a standstill I used to select 2nd and then first when putting a pommy car into gear to stop the 1st gear graunch as it was selected. Best wishes from OZ.

Well blimey, what a story Ivan!!! I'm glad I refound your channel. I was getting a bit worried about you. Been a bit busy myself with work and a new project or two so only recently did a bit of research to find Shed Racing. I'm doing what I believe is a binge watch to catch up now. Oh, and I wish I'd had a grandad like you. I used to push bike to my uncle Brian's garage to pester him to let me help working on his Mini Cooper S back in the '70's. I would have loved doing Saturdays in your place 😁

I think all families have a Christian type - I like that you have taken it in your stride - shows age and maturity - wins over stupidity and greed. I am ever so glad you are back - really enjoy the things you get up to - I am only a child, I am 72. Good onya....

Love a show about real life situations. Just found you and can relate to it all. I have a tc td and 2 Bs and a small shop of my own in Nova Scotia, Canada. Keep up the good work. Looking Forward to more.

I wondered where you'd got to. Really glad to see you again and I'm looking forward to some more brilliant videos 👍

Well I’m glad that’s all cleared up. Welcome back Ivan, just subbed to the new channel.

Good luck with the 'new' venture, and great to see you back. As I was not tech savvy I had exactly the same problem with a 'cyber criminal' holding my business name/domain to ransom 20 years ago. Re-brand got me round that one, just as you have done. What size turbo do you have on the drone by the way !!! :-)

Hello Ivan, thank heavens you are back! I've unsubscribed from that other channel and subscribed to this one! Was concerned with the break in filming, but saw you in the background of a Dom Chinea video, so knew you were still kicking! Keep it up, look forward to seeing the videos, love the camera trick following the MGB! Hi to Josh.

Been looking forward to seeing more videos. You guys are such natural performers and educators. Fantastic and thanks for taking the time to share.

Missed you Ivan; you're a real treasure.

Great to see your new videos. Loved the Ivans Shed ones, but feared you had croaked! Glad you haven't. :-)

I think I found a new favorite channel! Greetings from Arkansas, USA! Looking forward to following along.

Hi Ivan, great to see you back! I have unsubscribed from the old channel, due to the truculence of that young man! Maybe, do a joint video with Harry Metcalfe or Iain Tyrell on some esoteric motoring topic to spruik up subscriber numbers again?

Finally I found you guys again, I was starting to think you'd kicked the bucket too. Great to have you back👍

Nice to see classics that are used

So glad I found this channel, I love guys like this, can't wait for more !!

welcome back, I missed your antics, keep up the good work, can't wait for the next one

Great content, unlike anything else i’ve seen, good luck, i ‘m sure the channel will do well. ‘

Good to see you back

The joys of racing if you don’t breakdown it’s no fun it’s just part of the game glad you’re back good luck in the future top lad 👍👨🏻‍🏭

Truly inspiring stuff. Can't wait till you get the Lotus 7 out for another "thrashing". You might have an opportunity to compare throttle linkages with your Ferrari V12. Last time I saw Ferrari's solution, it was a masterpiece of "cost no object" engineering with little roller bearings etc. As you said nothing compares to the sound of a Webber - except maybe 6 of them.

Welcome back Ivan, look forward to following your new channel 👍

Happy to see you again!

3rd time lucky Ivan, good luck to Josh. Brilliant film as ever though, I keep watching

Bloody brilliant!

Glad to see you are back, and I hope we can now look forward to more regular videos which are excellent. I really enjoy the great content, being an engineer.

First video I've seen of Ivan. What a brilliant guy, one of the best channels on here.

Great to see you back. Sorry you have had all the hassle with that snake. Looking forward to enjoying regular videos with you. Your channel is really interesting.

What a Great video could listen and watch you all day long as a Motor Engineer myself love to see you on the spanners as I like to be myself in my workshop here in France 🇫🇷

Great job,I got on from a recommendation of Scott (Cold War Motors). For me who is really just a lost boy with too many cars as people keep telling me this show is up lifting. Shows that you know it’s a show,good job.

Love your videos, i used to be in car preparation 30 years ago and i know everything you talk about, specially the thackeray washer, i was explaining to my wife what is was and what it does (i don't think she believed me) then you had the Weber and manifold on the bench. I could take those carbs apart wih my eyes closed. I have ago at Auto solos now with a Mazda MX5, I'm 73 a mere youngster compared with you. Keep up the good work Ivan. Mike

Interesting stuff... :) I look forward to more. 😊

Just came on board from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. USA. Good luck with the revised channel.

Bloody brilliant, like the honest explainations and down to earth, no balls, naration. Thanks for bothering.

Wounderful ❤️👍

Can’t wait to see the extended version of racing at silverstone

I jumped in my seat when the MG bonnet lifted!!!!

Glad to see you back 👏👏👏 Also please post up the dates of your track days and the. Circuit

Great to see you back, was worried when the videos dried up, glad to see you back looking well, have subscribed to your new channel and looking forward to seeing your new content. be great to know what happened to the 2 stroke, I think it was a mini engine that you acquired to go along with the 2 cylinder engine that you rebuilt as I was left in limbo on that lol. Robb Torremolinos Spain 👍

Good to see you back Ivan

Thanks for the update and look forward to more video`s .We have a British car shop in Canada and my son has a youtube channel called Richard Michael Owen .

Brown pants moment when the bonnet hits the screen!
