DDE dont feel the same anymore without you in the videos its definitely lost its spark now your gone miss seeing you around the shop and in the videos 😢
I am a long time DDE fan and think Mike was one of the greatest additions to the channel. That being said I love the change of pace over here with Mike. Feels so genuine and whole hearted. Not just million dollar daily drivers but instead boat living and life lessons. Love you Mike keep it up! Drift champ and life champ!!!
Hello Mike, this is Nick. Yes, that Nick. You and Margaritis are great together onscreen and in real life. You are the best race engineer ever. Thank you for all your work on my cars over the years. Thank you for helping Margaritis so very much. You will be sailing for a lot of us stuck on land, in our offices and homes.
@@nicolaosperdikaris4140 thank you Nick! Let me know if you are able to come to the Caribbean for a vacation, and we will have you stay with us on our boat!
Mike is a straight up a genuine dude. He did build up the DDE channel in respect to builds and adding a much loved personality. Many folks are here because of DDE but also flack on DDE which is very internet of them. Mike is quite the UA-camr now because of Damon and Dave and DDE is a better channel because of Mike. I love them all and folks who are “watching this video first” are going to watch 7 DDE videos this week as well. 👍 Who gets Tim! 😊
Dde is so lame. Alot of people only watch because of him. They dont even know basics about cars that me and my friends new in gr 10. I dont even watch anymore lamest car channel
@@CodyLucier-m6dyou sound like you’re in grade 10. In the future think about keeping stupid comments like this to yourself. Nobody cares if you don’t want to watch DDE’s channel. But guarantee you would have no clue who Mike is if you didn’t watch their channel lol
Mike, thank you for shutting down the people who were trying to create fake drama between you and DDE. Love what you are doing with your channel and your style creating these videos I am greatly enjoying. Keep being you. Don't let anyone change that.
I think the guys didn't realize how fast 2 years would go by, I know it flew by for me and especially last year rocketed by. Some of us know there is no bad blood between you and the DDE crew - you guys are friends and have a professional respect for one another. Love seeing this adventure unfold, and can't wait to see you drift the boat some more with the fam lol.
Mike, you were really the third pillar on DDE, I would have loved to see you build more crazy cars but every good thing has an end, I'm learning about boats now, enjoy the sailing 😄🙏🏻
Honestly I respect it, much like you explained about Damon and Dave making daily content, Formula drift, your shop and then DDE all have taken away from your commitment to your family. I can't blame a man for using his success that you have been working so hard all these years on to want to scale back and follow his dreams with his family especially while his kids are young, your doing exactly what you should be doing.
Hey from the UK!! We all love DDE and you will be missed on their channel however, loving this content Mike as seeing a different side to you.. Now its time to put you and your family first and i look forward to your futore adventures!! 🙏👊
Mike is a real guy, he has respect for people but also does not BS them. the fact that the door to DDE is always open to him shows the mutual respect that is there. but... now Mike moves on, sailing a boat around the world is not an easy task, he has to learn as he sails, you can't pull over in the middle of the ocean and ask for help or directions. Mike, i have never met you and probably never will but you helped me see goodness in people, thank you for that.
There’s no need to put DDE down you can enjoy watching more then one Channel guys they are both great in there own way. Hearing how you helped margritas was great! Give a man a fish he’ll have food for a day teach him how to fish and he’ll have food for a lifetime.
Just another example of what an awesome person you are and why you deserve everything you have and for all your dreams to come true! That’s a great story of what you did for him and how you made a lifelong friend! ❤

Thank you Mike for clearing that up, I was reading comments here and there on DDE about people having conjectures about you and DDE. I've known that it was nothing more than people assuming things, anyways not here to rant about crap, wish I was able to attend your garage sale but unfortunately I wouldn't be able to because I'm quite far away. Looking forward to more boating videos of you guys. Much love.
You and Damon made the best team on the internet. So much potential for the greatest builds, its tough to see you go. That said, congratulations on the boat and the well deserved simple life. Go and enjoy it!
You handled things with grace Mike you set the bar high and it will be very hard to compare all aboard the essa train full steam ahead until the very end brother!
Was really nice seeing you on dde today. I know I speak for a lot of dde fans when I say you’re missed on the dde channel greatly. Wish you and your family all the success in your next chapter. We only get one shot at this life so you have to take the opportunity’s when they present themselves. Good luck, Mike!
Glad to see you're doing your own thing. Not a boat guy but respect your content. If you were to ever start a channel on cars and stuff like that I'm with you. Dropping stuff everyday can get really boring, really fast. The anticipation of the video is not there. Keep doing what you do Mr Essa
While I enjoy you on DDE, I enjoy watching your channel equally. The knowledge and friendliness you show on camera is priceless. I hope Tim is good with this move as it must be as hard on him as it is you. If I was in soCal, I would pay the $20 just to shake your hand and wish you all the best.
I'm watching from South Africa. I've been a fan of DDE for the past 5 years. That's how I've learnt of you. I love your content. Hopefully when everything has stalled, we can get more content. And more features on DDE ❤
Thanks for explaining because people always think it's a drama or beef behind the scenes. But the day ones knew you was there just for a while, we knew eventually you was going to get your boat and move. Happy for your new venture in life, hope you and your family have the best time. But just know we miss you at DDE.
Mike, I always enjoyed your drifting style. But like everyone says "don't ever meet your hero" I think they'd be wrong in this situation with you. So much respect for how you operate as an employee, project manager, dad, and racer
♥ Miss you brother, and it's sad to see you move on from the boys at #DDE. HOWEVER, I understand the dream, and aspirations and you deserve to do what your goals are set to. Will always be here for your video drops, and following your adventures. Much love!
Well Mike you were a big part of DDE and will be truly missed but I’m happy that will get to see you occasionally on DDE and on your own Channel ❤️. I’m can’t wait to see you and the family’s journey. 💚💚💚🇨🇦
This is one of the most bittersweet departures, but completely understand the situation. You have to do what you gotta do. The DDE x Essa collab was one of the most entertaining times on UA-cam for me. Wishing you all the best Mike and hope to see you guys collab maybe one day again in the future.
Most channels grow big because of the crew sure the main person has the sponsors and the money to supply everything so you could argue that without it there’s no business but I feel like 70-80% of the success is because of the people you don’t see on camera that often they are the ones pushing the projects out and I’m glad to see you make your own path as well as I cheer for Tim to go out there and do him own thing you guys deserve more spotlight
Mike well done on taking a step which a lot of guys would only talk about. Never thought I would watch videos of boats but here I have been since the beginning. Keep it simple as I love it that you are not forcing the content and please please please don’t ever go the clickbait route like the other channels 🍾
Leaving DDE did seem abrupt in youtube world but like you said, you always had a plan. It wasnt a secret. You just happened to find your dream boat maybe sooner than everyone thought. You gotta go for your dreams Mike. Thank you for teaching us that! 💪
Definitely a different scene at DDE knowing you're now on your own journey, but now I'm here❤ And there, good luck Mike Essa, rooting for you and your family👌💯
I'm really glad that you guys are parting amicably. I'm also really glad that you were able to move on to your own dreams, and I'll be following you as you do.
Mr. Essa, you are such a great human being! Your knowledge, education, dedication, hard work, and PASSION that you shared with DDE were, and continue to be, simply amazing. You truly are an inspiration to all of us. You’ve shown us how to put ALL of our heart and soul (and hard work!) into doing something we love, while setting life goals alongside our families. You’ve taught us to set strict goals to achieve the life we desire. You, sir, deserve your new adventure-you’ve earned it 110%! Thank you so much for sharing your story and truly inspiring all of us!
My man, you legitimately seem like good people. I knew of you before DDE, but I learned way more of you from watching you there. I'm glad i got to see both so i could follow you here. Good luck to you and yours.
Gutted to see you part ways with DDE but great to see you have left in good terms. Thank you for all the great videos showing us your amazing driving skills and more interestingly your car building skills. What a legacy you have left in the F12! Can’t wait to follow your new adventures with your beautiful family on what looks like a once in a lifetime journey! Thank you for your genuine down to earth personality on camera you are a great role model and your girlies are very lucky to have you! Enjoy
I knew & hoped there’d be no drama between you and the DDE fam! I remember back to when you came on you said the clock was ticking on when you’d move onto different things I think D&D just hoped you’d stick around forever. Can’t wait to see the boating adventures come to life and I’m sure you’ll always be welcome back at the DDE hq!
We missed you Mike. Also just wanted to thank you and Tim and everyone who built the f12 it's insane just wanna wish you and your family safe travels and look forward to seeing new adventures ❤🤘
We as a community miss you and respect your choices and above all else im happy that you're happy keep on keeping brother life a garden you gotta dig it
Will miss the education you gave/give while ya work on Tha Block, you and Tim were funny asf! But of course am still stoked for you to live your life for you and your family! We’ll deserved man!!
Mr. Mike! I’m so happy for you to be living your dream finally, your racing career was a huge success and now so will your boating life with your family! Once again thank you for letting us be apart of that! I’m looking forward to some spear gun fishing and the boat content brother! Much love and good health to you and your family!
Mike is such a genuine and overall great guy! I'm glad we got to know him via DDE. Let's pray a silent prayer that he comes back to DDE sometime in the future.
Mike, you came on for a little bit to DDE and I have to say, you’ve helped the channel and my self start to look more into working on cars and the parts used. Thank you for being such a great teacher 😊
Mike, that is a great plan to sell all the things you would not need to fund the boat. All positive and no drama / negativity between you and DDE like some people wanted.
The interactions between you and Margaritis were so genuine and enjoyable to watch. I loved hearing the stories about how you helped him get his start in Formula D and helped him achieve his dreams of racing, moving across the world to a country where he didn't even speak the language! You are one of the greats, Mr. Essa!
Unexpectedly seeing an Alfa 75/Milano in this video just makes my heart warm as I am one person of a very small commonity in the US that owns one. Mines in the resto stage right now!
I wish there was more people like Mike in this world. Not just because he’s talented and brilliant but also a very genuine and good human being. We are here for you every step of the way on your new adventure(s)!
No hard feelings Mike you did what you had to do and people should understand that because everyone is in different situations and what you brought to the channel was the whole different atmosphere and and thank you for that and the badass work you brought to the channel and ideas like you said in your video you got to do what you couldn't in a normal situation and could think outside the box on your terms so thank you Mike I and the Gf really did enjoy you on the channel what you brought to the boys at the shop at DDE... so with that said continue to do what makes you happy Mike and you still got a supporter here and wherever Adventure you want to take us to will be watching the video because I don't sail boats lol I'm a land person but we'll go on a boat ride or should I say a ferry ride much love Mike from Albuquerque New Mexico area the great 505
Mike comes across as a genuine, honest guy. That’s why I’ll continue to watch him and his channel. D&D were once like that too. Plus Mike is living my dream of liquidating and living on a Cat.
ESSA for the win! Im sure you have heard that before. Nothing but class for an Intro, after the kids on the other channel have bashed him video style since he left .
You are incredible and you brought a lot to DDE and will be missed! I wish you the absolute best best of luck with all your future plans and safe sailing sir!!
The time really did fly by with Mike definitely we took it for granted how amazing you are brother. Will miss you but we will follow you where ever you go !! Can't wait for the boat videos I'm a big fan of sailing channels !
Awesome Mike and keep up the good work awesome living a fulfilling your dreams another reason I watched dde everyday too watch you wrench and knowledge 🔥🔥💯💯💪💪
This was a tough watch exclamation point you and Tim have brought so much to DDE! I love you have a dream I want you to follow that dream as well as your family, but damn bud gonna be tough without you!
Wow! The conversion from Greek drift to American style sounds like it was quite an adventure. It would have made a dynamite YT channel all its own. There's a screen play in this story.
Morning Mike.. it’s like you always say bigger better things to come! Love the Mike Essa adventures of boat living with the fam jam and thank you for bringing us 🙌
Your charity work to Damon and Dave paid off.. God is good. You did something nobody else of your status would do to help DDE specially after Kearny tried to do with them. You really helped out DDE and used it as a stepping stone for your own passion for where you want to be with your family.. So much respect for you sir.. Still watching every second and letting the ads play out as well as I love this for background noise while driving 3-6 hours a day so I've created another account on another phone and re-watch/listen there! Sir.... SirEssa.... you're the fuggin man! So much respect. About to watch DDE's drop with you in the thumbnail right now!. Congrats man!
Also... how insane is it that they just got those Porsche cars delivered.... Are they going to let you rip them with your 3 weeks back? Or is it too much work to look over the car to make sure it's track worthy and then go out and rip it? Would love to see your content ripping it!
I really miss your tech videos that you used to do with DDE. Has a gearhead and shop owner That's What attracted me to their channel. I subscribe to hear just to stay in the loop. Wish you all the best Mike
DDE dont feel the same anymore without you in the videos its definitely lost its spark now your gone miss seeing you around the shop and in the videos 😢
They will regroup and will change still attached to them.....but haven't lost watching mike....best of two worlds
Why don't you start a school so that people can get their amateur and pro license
True indeed.. weird not seeing Mike everyday with Tim..
You said in words how I feel.
Dde is legit lame without him
I am a long time DDE fan and think Mike was one of the greatest additions to the channel. That being said I love the change of pace over here with Mike. Feels so genuine and whole hearted. Not just million dollar daily drivers but instead boat living and life lessons. Love you Mike keep it up! Drift champ and life champ!!!
He was......and Damon taught him youtube gave him another option of career
1000 % agree.
Wait u don't prefer dean kerney lolololololol
@@masturone8257 Dean can only count to🎄🎄🎄
I'm glad you helped DDE with the cars because they helped you with being comfortable on camera and it shows.
Well said! You are intelligent!
Def a win win for all parties
I think Mike mentioned that on one of his last dde episodes
Hello Mike, this is Nick. Yes, that Nick. You and Margaritis are great together onscreen and in real life. You are the best race engineer ever. Thank you for all your work on my cars over the years. Thank you for helping Margaritis so very much. You will be sailing for a lot of us stuck on land, in our offices and homes.

Drama Llamas! How could such a cool dude like Mike have beef with them anyways 😂
Well said!!!
It was real drama. Damon was trying to pork his wife is what I heard.
DDE creates enough fake drama on theire own 😂 wouldnt surprise me if they started the rumour for clicks😂
What fake drama?
I think the guys didn't realize how fast 2 years would go by, I know it flew by for me and especially last year rocketed by. Some of us know there is no bad blood between you and the DDE crew - you guys are friends and have a professional respect for one another.

@@joffrey1272 it seems a lot different without Mike
DDE meant Damon Dave Essa
If Damon would keep his pole in his pants they wouldn’t have split. 😡

Thanks Mike for helping Margaritis and sharing your experiences together. Great job Mike!!!
You are a great man you will be missed on dde wish you the best to you and your family❤
Mike’s energy is unmatched. Such a genuine dude. Much respect.
Hey from the UK!! We all love DDE and you will be missed on their channel however, loving this content Mike as seeing a different side to you.. Now its time to put you and your family first and i look forward to your futore adventures!! 🙏👊
You could feel the passion the guy from Greece had for drifting. Loved the back story on all of that. ❤
His passion for drifting shows
Mike is a real guy, he has respect for people but also does not BS them. the fact that the door to DDE is always open to him shows the mutual respect that is there.
but... now Mike moves on, sailing a boat around the world is not an easy task, he has to learn as he sails, you can't pull over in the middle of the ocean and ask for help or directions.

There’s no need to put DDE down you can enjoy watching more then one Channel guys they are both great in there own way. Hearing how you helped margritas was great! Give a man a fish he’ll have food for a day teach him how to fish and he’ll have food for a lifetime.
Another example on how good of a dude Mike is, teaches this guy how to build a car and do everything he needs to do to be successful
Yeah, that’s right so glad to be around Mike always grateful🙌
Look what he did for tim too. Thats pretty cool of mike too help guys get into the sport. It's not a easy sport to get into without connections or $$
@ exactly without Mike it will be almost impossible big help on every step 🫶🏻
We need more of Margaritis i could just listen to both of you for hours. Much love from south africa 🇿🇦
Love to South Africa 🫶🏻🫡

Looking forward to more boating videos of you guys.
Much love.
Watching this before DDE 😊
Same!
Same
A REFRESHING DIFFERENCE
Same same!
Saw both and went with essa!
It’s not the same at DDE without you but good for you for sticking to your plan. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You and Damon made the best team on the internet. So much potential for the greatest builds, its tough to see you go. That said, congratulations on the boat and the well deserved simple life. Go and enjoy it!

Mr. Essa, you are such a great human being! Your knowledge, education, dedication, hard work, and PASSION that you shared with DDE were, and continue to be, simply amazing. You truly are an inspiration to all of us. You’ve shown us how to put ALL of our heart and soul (and hard work!) into doing something we love, while setting life goals alongside our families. You’ve taught us to set strict goals to achieve the life we desire. You, sir, deserve your new adventure-you’ve earned it 110%! Thank you so much for sharing your story and truly inspiring all of us!

Check out his channel Marg is doing UA-cam videos too. He needs more viewers
I’m gonna try to stay around Mike and do more together this year thanks for the love 🙌
You're a brave man Mike! But im glad to see what you set out to do with your family. Family time is priceless

Classy intro regarding DDE. This is why people love you Mike!
I’m happy for you Mike. I wish you all the best in your adventures, and you will always have my support. God bless you and your family always. ❤
You can see the emotion this guy still feels for his 1st mike experience that's crazy everyone needs a essa !!!!

Once again thank you for letting us be apart of that! I’m looking forward to some spear gun fishing and the boat content brother! Much love and good health to you and your family!
Mike is such a genuine and overall great guy! I'm glad we got to know him via DDE. Let's pray a silent prayer that he comes back to DDE sometime in the future.
DDE video came out a few mins before 9 that’s way it all worked out to catch theirs first then mikes to understand the story. Great job guys!!
So happy for you and your family. Next chapter of your life looks like a good one can’t wait to see.
Built the best car on the internet. Congratulations Mike. Amazing achievement.
Mike, you came on for a little bit to DDE and I have to say, you’ve helped the channel and my self start to look more into working on cars and the parts used. Thank you for being such a great teacher 😊
Mike, that is a great plan to sell all the things you would not need to fund the boat. All positive and no drama / negativity between you and DDE like some people wanted.
Well said!
The interactions between you and Margaritis were so genuine and enjoyable to watch. I loved hearing the stories about how you helped him get his start in Formula D and helped him achieve his dreams of racing, moving across the world to a country where he didn't even speak the language! You are one of the greats, Mr. Essa!
Unexpectedly seeing an Alfa 75/Milano in this video just makes my heart warm as I am one person of a very small commonity in the US that owns one. Mines in the resto stage right now!
I wish there was more people like Mike in this world. Not just because he’s talented and brilliant but also a very genuine and good human being. We are here for you every step of the way on your new adventure(s)!
@@brians7es thank you! 🙏
No hard feelings Mike you did what you had to do and people should understand that because everyone is in different situations and what you brought to the channel was the whole different atmosphere and and thank you for that and the badass work you brought to the channel and ideas like you said in your video you got to do what you couldn't in a normal situation and could think outside the box on your terms so thank you Mike I and the Gf really did enjoy you on the channel what you brought to the boys at the shop at DDE... so with that said continue to do what makes you happy Mike and you still got a supporter here and wherever Adventure you want to take us to will be watching the video because I don't sail boats lol I'm a land person but we'll go on a boat ride or should I say a ferry ride much love Mike from Albuquerque New Mexico area the great 505
Mike comes across as a genuine, honest guy. That’s why I’ll continue to watch him and his channel. D&D were once like that too. Plus Mike is living my dream of liquidating and living on a Cat.
What a nice guy ! You can tell how much he looks up to Mike.
You are doing exactly what you said you were going to do. 2 years at DDE then get on the Boat and Sail. I enjoy your Saturday videos. Stay safe!
ESSA for the win! Im sure you have heard that before. Nothing but class for an Intro, after the kids on the other channel have bashed him video style since he left .
You're a legend mike! Excited to watch the next chapter of your life!
*super pumped to see your channel growing!*
You are incredible and you brought a lot to DDE and will be missed! I wish you the absolute best best of luck with all your future plans and safe sailing sir!!
Good to see you back mike..
The time really did fly by with Mike definitely we took it for granted how amazing you are brother. Will miss you but we will follow you where ever you go !! Can't wait for the boat videos I'm a big fan of sailing channels !
Awesome Mike and keep up the good work awesome living a fulfilling your dreams another reason I watched dde everyday too watch you wrench and knowledge 🔥🔥💯💯💪💪
This was a tough watch exclamation point you and Tim have brought so much to DDE! I love you have a dream I want you to follow that dream as well as your family, but damn bud gonna be tough without you!
Wow! The conversion from Greek drift to American style sounds like it was quite an adventure. It would have made a dynamite YT channel all its own. There's a screen play in this story.
Morning Mike.. it’s like you always say bigger better things to come! Love the Mike Essa adventures of boat living with the fam jam and thank you for bringing us 🙌
Your charity work to Damon and Dave paid off.. God is good. You did something nobody else of your status would do to help DDE specially after Kearny tried to do with them. You really helped out DDE and used it as a stepping stone for your own passion for where you want to be with your family.. So much respect for you sir.. Still watching every second and letting the ads play out as well as I love this for background noise while driving 3-6 hours a day so I've created another account on another phone and re-watch/listen there! Sir.... SirEssa.... you're the fuggin man! So much respect. About to watch DDE's drop with you in the thumbnail right now!. Congrats man!
Also... how insane is it that they just got those Porsche cars delivered.... Are they going to let you rip them with your 3 weeks back? Or is it too much work to look over the car to make sure it's track worthy and then go out and rip it? Would love to see your content ripping it!
Charity work? You don’t think what they paid him helped to buy the new boat?
I really miss your tech videos that you used to do with DDE. Has a gearhead and shop owner That's What attracted me to their channel. I subscribe to hear just to stay in the loop. Wish you all the best Mike
