      Rob Brown! Love your tutorials. My double strokes still suck and my groove is terrible but I'm trying! I also agree with you. The internet can take for granted how difficult and time consuming it is to create content like this. It's 14 minutes long but took her countless hours of work over the course of 3 years! On my channel I've spent sooo many hours on videos that are only a couple minutes long and don't have anywhere near this amount of work displayed.

    Brings flashbacks of Germany in '92 when we traveled there with my parents. A relative surprised us at the gate in Amsterdam... My parents stayed in Amsterdam for the tulip gardens... Being kids, my brother and I couldn't care less, so we got to hitch an early ride back to Germany in her husbands black MR2!! We also got backroads rides on their Ducatti's to get some ice cream somewhere... Goot times!!!
    That's an amazing build!! Great save!!!!

    Encapsulating 3 years of work into a 15 minute slice of time...Sarah, what you have achieved is nothing short of amazing. All the highs and the lows that it took to get here. What a journey. I’ve watched and enjoyed every episode, and my life has been enriched for it. Girl, you should be dammed proud of what you’ve accomplished. I know that you have had help from time to time, but this is really all on you. You have taken that diamond in the rough, and created a beautiful gem. Absolutely amazing, and with version 2.0 on the way, I can hardly wait.
    I am just completely blown away.

    Nice work, I watched every episode of this Mr2 build and I hope you get to enjoy the car now. Although the videos of the upgrades and work you done to the car is what makes it entertaining as a viewer. Keep the MR2 contents alive

    Somebody once said "perfect couples do not exist "
    After Sarah + MR2, anybody can believe that?

    I enjoyed watching you build MrDose for so long its hard to believe that you've completed it and have no other plans for it right. RIGHT? 🤣

    my first brand new car i ever bought was a bright yellow 91 mr2 turbo, loaded, t-tops... i was 20 then... to this day i have a recurring dream about once a year that somehow i 'forgot' the car is in a storage shed, and in the dream i go take it for a spin... great job on the restoration!
