    I have said this before, but will say it again - these are not car videos anymore. This is pure art. After every video I think Petrolicious can't get any better and then again you drop this masterpiece. Amazing cinematography, fantastic music. Just wow.

    I love your videos but this in particular. Really struck me in a soft spot. I finished a few months ago, restoring my grandfather’s 1955 Austin Healey 100 “Le Mans” factory one off Racer. My da and his father detuned and rebuilt the car in the early sixties and I did a complete nut and bold concourse restoration over the past eight and a half years. Seeing this video made me tear eyed knowing that my dad and now I got to drive in his da’s old racer. This drew a deep emotion from me and I thank you.

      I got to me, too. My dad was away at sea (sub commander) a lot when I was a kid. The other officers, home from the sea, would look out for us. One of my fondest memories was cruising around the sub base in Lt. Cowan's 1967 Fiat Spider that he'd brought back from Italy. Years later, I was leaving work heading out to where my beat-up Datsun should have been, only to find a 1980 Fiat Spider 2000 in its place with a note from my wife on the windshield.

    I had a ....tear..
    Being born in 55 growing up in the 60s and 70s there was in my small city a kid older than me that had an older brother...they had HEALEYS....several them went thru their ownership.
    They always had a powerful sound, a heft built into their looks, at the same time fragile in their aluminium .A big chunk of a motor
    And two seats in a cock pit , like a biplane.
    I finally many years later ran my own restoration sports car shop and restored about 17 big healeys
    And a 100-4 converted with cam carbs, air box .I even found one 100-4 to restore for myself.
    Mostly because of that kid and his older brothers passion for Healey spilled over onto me...
    After those , brothers...I fell upon two other guys ...broke down in a rented garage replacing the race motor in their original GT40 , to continue their vacation to cape cod from NY......helping those guys for 4 days ...sealed my Sports Car passion before I was 14.
    64 now and personally restoring a 240Z and a back dated 280Z....
    Ive heard people call them modern Healey's ,.... thats just fine with me.
    I just call them "My Japanese Ferarri's"

    What a stunning and emotive piece of visual art Petrolicious! Anyone who has has a childhood dream of owning such a special car will totally understand the sense of emotion in this movie...it brought me to tears as one such lad who has loved the 100S Healey since boyhood. Filmed in the beautiful hills in South Australia, AHS3906 is in its element. Bravo to you Tony Parkinson and 10/10 on this one Petrolicious.

    Bravo! You turned my home into ART. This may well be your best video ever. I recognised the landscape before I saw the number plate. This is where I drive my GTV's. A truly special place where it is just you, the car and the landscape. Once again I say: Bravo. And not a word was spoken. Your courage has been rewarded.

    Petrolicious, that was a great video. Good, simple story. Fantastic cinematography. And gorgeous scenes of a classic British sports car. But....way, way too short! Not to mention, not nearly enough of the actual 100S (not 1000S btw.) Hopefully this is a teaser for a much longer video? Thanks Petrolicious.

    The best video you have ever done. Quite possibly the best i have ever seen of its type. That kid was me. I will never forget my first ride in the AH 100. I even got to drive it! I remember the way the rear tires chirped going around tight corners. How the back end would bounce sideways over bumps in a turn. The sound of that purring motor. It was/is grand. Cars today have no soul.

One day if I'm a very lucky boy, I hope to do it in a Healey! Cheers and thank you Petrolicious for yet another wonderful car experience. Cheers from Sydney - Dave

    Beautiful video. My dad owned an Austin-Healey 100 that he bought shortly after he graduated university with a degree in mechanical engineering in '55. He raced in it SCCA events and eventually holed a piston at one such race. There was a Hot Rod magazine article that inspired him to replace the broken original engine with a Chevy V8. I think he still has the article but he no longer has the Healey. It was the car he had when he met my mom and which he eventually sold so he could marry her.

    In my opinion the big Healys are among the most beautiful cars ever made. I restored the body/chassis of a 100M, not mine, years ago, very simple box pressings, you could make most of the pieces with a simple sheet metal brake. The body pieces were another matter. There are several big Healys in the lakes region of New Hampshire, where I now live. It is a sign of Spring when they come out of their garages.

    @VirtualGuth 6 років тому

    Very nice videography. Sadly this particular video left me wanting much more. Such as the sound of the car, the owner's story of how he acquired the car, the sound of the car, the owners story of what had to be done to the car to bring it back up to snuff, the sound of the car, the owner's perspective of how it feels to drive the car, and of course the sound of the car.
