Cold War Motors said to give your channel a Watch so here I am your new sub all the way from Vermont

Well Hello there Ivan, This is Al, from British Columbia, Viewing your channel for the first time, at the behest of Scott at Cold War Motors, hes around 700 odd miles east of me in Alberta. Anyway, he said we [members of his channel] should pop on over to view your channel. Im glad i did, I love the old cars and look forward to viewing your channel more often. Gotta say, when you where driving down that dirt road, i quite expected to see the lost 9th legion pop out from the hedge rows,,hahah. anyway mate, best wishes, stay happy. Al

My friend Scott of ColdWarMotors suggested I check out this channel. Very nice jolly good.

Great inventions, minis and mini skirts, Ivan and a young lady with a red ac cobra, fantasy I think.

Here because of Scott at Cold War Motors...I trust his judgement and I’m looking forward to your content!

Hi Ivan, Coldwar Motors sent me. Right on, thanks

Dear Mr. Dutton. I'm here because one of my favourite channels, if not my favourite, Coldwarmotors, recommended you. Now let's watch the video. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

Wow. Just checked Socialblade and you have added 700 subs in two days. Nice shout out Scott.

I admire your attitude. You are inspiring me to accept the passage of time with much greater dignity than I have been.

Companionship at any age is priceless. good luck to you all.

That Cobra 🐍 a beauty and Suzie too 😊

Hello Ivan. I heard about your channel from Scott Newsted from the channel Cold War Motors. He suggested we come and give your channel a listen. I love your channel. The only thing that surprised me was how on earth your back could take such a thrashing in your roadster in all that mud. I'm 20 years younger than you but I could not take such a beating. I will look back at your other videos and I am sure I will enjoy them. I'm now a new subscriber. I guess I'm number 13,001. Ha ha. Greetings from West Virginia in the States.

Ivan in love was not on my bingo card. That’s wonderful!

This just gets better and better. Brilliant. What a great bunch of people you’ve got around you as well Ivan. Thank you for letting us see what you all get up to.

Hi Ivan & Suzie, I’m here on Scott’s recommendation and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed this video! 🇨🇦

Great show thank you for showing .

A 289 Cobra is the first car in my dream garage!😍

Wow! Great show!

Keep up the good work Ivan, Suzie and Tanya thoroughly enjoyed the film

Hello, new subscriber on the recommendation from coldwarmotors. Cheers!

Ivan I knew Id seen your face you are the milk tray man you rascal you have girls falling for you everywhere 😂 In life you meet very interesting people some young some older I’ve been lucky I’ve met quite a few but one day I’d love to meet the A team you have forgotten more than most will ever know a true motoring encyclopaedia thank you and Susie be gentle with our engineering treasure 👍👨🏻‍🏭

I came here because Scott from "Coldwarmotors" (A quality Albertan, Canadian Product LOL) told me this is the place to go and watch. So I trust Scott because his channel is AWESOME! So before I've even seen a minute of video I've Subscribed and rang the bell!! Now on with the Shows!! I'll let you know how great it all is once I've had a chance to watch a while! Thank you.

well done Ivan,go for young ladies with awesome cars!!!

Coldwar motors recommend you so greetings from Indiana !

Hey Ivan, at just nine years younger than you, you're giving me so much hope for the next nine years ahead and beyond, you "old fox", and all round nice bloke. Suzie's a great match for you with an obvious love for cars and that AC she has. Keep on loving and celebrating life you "kids".

Hello Ivan and folks, Being a good Canadian, I did as Scott from Coldwar Motors suggested and popped over to check out your channel and to subscribe. Great episode. I'll be going back through each of the previous ones. Cheers from Nova Scotia!

Thank you. A genuine 289 Cobra is a beautiful thing, especially with a hard top, for real driving as opposed to summer posing. Nice bit of trials action. Susie is a video star😊!

Great channel. Cheers!

Living life and enjoy the company of new friends. Fantastic

Absolutely brilliantly interesting content and video Ivan , you're living life to the full mate and the perfect example of what all us old farts should be up to keeping the dream alive !.Very best wishes to you and Suzie and of course Tanya for such a professional outcome , on of my favourite channels - should have 100,000 subs !.

Suzie was game for a laugh good to see video of you both👍

I am 30 years younger than you and get tired just watching your videos! Long may they continue.

beautiful little narrow hip Cobra.

Scott from ColdWarMotors sent me,and I'm glad he did.What a wonderful introduction to your channel.I'll certainly be going back through your previous videos to see what kind of hijinks you enjoy.Cheers from Michigan,USA

Just Subscribed, Brilliant content really enjoying the videos, will recommend to my friends.

What lovely ac

nice cobra - and engine sounds total top quality - no ticking or clacking - strong = i bet you set the valves and timing = IVAN the magic hands ! The Mini = invented by a GREEK man !

I'm beginning to see Ivan as a bit of a national treasure these days, no wonder this new lady he has in tow is fond of him

I’m 45 and from Tennessee and I have always been enamored with classic English sports cars. Of course I love the classics from over here but since the first time I saw one I was probably 12 and it was an MG in a friend’s garage it was green with a black interior and hadn’t run in years but I thought it was the coolest, I think your county’s cars were more stunning than Italy, Germany, or any other county. Thank you for introducing me to some makes I’ve never seen before, I’d love see them in person one day.

Great fun!

Thank you Tanya for your reply in which you have now got me into Balloon Planet ! A little bit of Absolutely Cool in this vid. ! Another filmette with some wonderful content and editing - you can tell Ivan has really got RU-vid off to a tee and loving every minute just as we love watching. Best wishes to all.

Love the AC in 289 body style

An absolute delight as always... Showing us all how it's done! Cheers from Canada.

Brilliant. Love your footage and stories.

Great looking ac , i worked on a v16 cadalac which was only running on one bank of cylinders when i fixed the dizzy and restarted it the Silencer on the dead bank exploded it was 4 ft long flat sheet now but the owners dog was sat next to the car ,it never came into the garage for weeks 😢

Great fun ! Thank you.

Scott at ColdWarMotors sent me here. Hello sir.

I owned a new Morris Mini from 1966, with a Hydrolastic suspension. It was an absolutely and absurdly bad built car! Even from the corners of the front screen, it leaked in water, as also from many other places! I had to bend the doorframes in, with a knee in between, to make them meet the body!! And round the hinges paint peeled off, from a faulty production method, when cleaning the body before painting it. And don't drive behind someone during rain, as it would make the engine turn off from the water. And changing gears (The first wasn't even synchronized), was a "search and you will find" from the long gear-changer in the bottom (We have the first imported 1959 Mini in the "Danish Technical Museum", as also the first VW - and the second last Volvo Amazon, just driven down from the Factory in Göteborg in Sweden, and with the original plastic protection on the seats!).

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels, thanks!

AC Cobra, what a beautiful compact car. Mmmm, I wish it was mine Ivan. Great show by the way, Mike T. Susies left arm is plastered with mud on the Herefordshire Trial you were on, which proves how mucky it was.

dropped over from Cold War Motors. Cheers

You are an amazing character, wish I lived near you so I could buy you a beer and listen to your stories. LOVE THAT GIRL HAS GOT SOME SPUNK.

I do love these videos. Thank you all for creating them for us.

I served my time in an independent garage which had an MG dealership in the early 70's. Watching the two of you work and the way you tackle jobs just takes me back to those days. Your videos are great and thanks for reminding people what real mechanics are.

Love the Cobra. That'll be worth a few quid!

Keep having a good time... I think you're getting the hang of it! Cheers from a shed in Iowa USA

So convenient when your fun car fits in a Nissan van- something you can drive anywhere like a mobile garage.

Ivan you are the man. you are having way too much fun. I enjoy this channel.

All this fun content THEN at the end Ivan quotes one if my favorite songs. Tanya and Susie rock. Thank you ladies for bringing us so much “boy” content.

Sent to your Chanel by Scott at Cold War motors

Scott at Cold War Motors suggested to check this channel out. He was 100% correct! You have a new fan Ivan! Cheers

Scott at coldwar motors sent me

That is a big hole in your Alvis silencer! And the AC Cobra sounds a real beast1 Stay safe, Chris B.

Good luck lvan...have fun... Glad to see you doing a trial...maybe one day we'll meet up..

Congratulations to all of you on the hard work and keep having as much fun as you can. Keep smiling as it will keep people guessing what you are up to and remember that we have to grow up, but we don't have to grow old. Really Nice AC Cobra that you have and it sounds terrific.

I love your channel Ivan, Tanya, Susie and John. I really do enjoy it. I have learned lots of mechanics tricks along the way too! I’m learning to weld soon. A friend gave me a Lincoln wire welder. Maybe someday I’ll run across a lathe. They do seem to come in quite handy! Restoring a 1974 MGB SCCA EP class racer that sat parked and disassembled since 1991. I was extremely lucky to have found Ivan’s Shed.

You've got a look of Stirling, particularly around the eyes.

I've watched your videos since the first one, you're a real inspiration Ivan. I'm a couple of years behind you and trying hard to catch up. Never say never everything is possible with the right attitude!

You remind me of my old gaffer when I was a trainee 55years ago,he was very animated with his hands, in winter he'd put his hands in his overall pockets start talking and his lower part of overalls use to dance all over the place especially if it was a exciting subject. Absolutely brilliant video thanks .

Kudos to our Amazons of all configurations.

When I saw Ivan driving like a mad man in his leather cap it took me back to childhood memories of Wind in the Willows Toad of Toad Hall's redmist crazed driving exploits! Thank you so much!

Well, that was fun!

You old ROGUE not one young Lady but two a touch of the blue beard about your latest episodes love them all thank you Tanya and SR.

And much fun for all

Another great video Ivan love your enthusiasm.

Another wonderful film.😄

Hi Ivan, you got a really good shout out from Scott at Cold War Motors. If I wasn’t already subscribed, I’d definitely be checking you out. Two of my favourite channels.

Love that Cobra motored beast! It's so great to see you work the cars you build, I think they love it, too!

Ha,hahahahaaa!!! Keep it up you old geezer you🥰🥰 JIM 😅🤣🤣😂😍

Well done Ivan,another belter! I was a bit worried seeing your Mini(850?) speedo between 60-70mph but there you go! Your channel is unique in that it deals with car stuff from an old f........ts point of view(I guess I,m one too being 81 & a total petrolhead!)

verry happy for you both, great car and futtage suzie

For the avoidance of doubt, not 14 years old and been 40 something for a while !

Even on holiday in New Zealand, I keep a lookout for my favourite channels. When I'm back in South Africa, I will no doubt find some episodes that I've missed. Nice video, once again, Ivan and co!

BRILLIANT ! as always !! 👌👌👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊

Ivan, you're simply a National Treasure. Keep ticking over.... very Best Peter & Rayne

Cars are meant to be used. Great stuff

Top Man!

Suzie Pilkington, Ivan is such a great guy that we are all so happy for him that he has such a great person such as yourself to share in the adventures that make up a normal day. Heck , I am a PhD chemical engineer and it may take me until I am 90 something to amass the incredible knowledge and abilities that Ivan embodies.

Really enjoy watching your utube bit.It's great watching you wrenching on the classic's and even better you putting them too good use and enjoying them with us ! from Tennessee US.!;-)

The smoothness and lack of mechanical thrash of that little Salmson engine is impressive.

Wonderful ❤️👍

I just really like this guy. What an absolute pleasure, he truly is a gem. A wealth of knowledge and a treat to listen to. Great, can’t wait for the next installment. Cheers👏
