It was an awesome time! Loved watching the look on the faces of those lucky enough to sit in the Gurney/Yates Ferrari. Could almost see their “O” face. Looking forward to the next get together.
This was a great road trip and even better event that I am so proud to be a part of. There were too many great moments to share and I am so grateful to you, Ed for bringing me onto this channel years ago and making it possible for me to be a part of this incredible group of people.
It was great seeing pics from the event. Would love to hear some stories from other Cannonballers too. Each run has its own unique origin and challenges.
It is not just you, dude! Which begs the question, what on earth would occur in a automotive enthusiasts UA-cam channel that would warrant Shadow Banning? When I opened the comments, instead of the 37 it said was supposed to be there, only 2 were showing. One was the obligatory, " I'm first, please notice me. The other was someone throwing shade on Ed, because he finds the one thing Ed is passionate about and was the driving force behind the creation of the VinWiki Car Stories channel, "annoying'. I'm all about freedom of speech (God bless America 🇺🇲) I bet this dude is the kind that when his old lady asks him if the dress makes her look fat, he comes back with OMG, Hell YEAH❗
This is the genius of Ed Bolian. He has his Mercedes mechanic friend fix up some old cars. He pays the mechanic a fair but probably friends n' family rate. And he *invites* the mechanic on the road trip that immediately follows the maintenance. So the mechanic knows that he'll be stranded on the side of the road if there are any hiccups, and his ego will suffer as well. All us car guys think we're smart and good negotiators. But Ed is king.
W210 E320 with the M112. Huge trunk, huge fuel tank, great fuel economy and highway range. Huge backseat. 150mph top speed. Super easy to disassemble and build on for countermeasures.
I just saw the cars last weekend. My wife, "The Mishka" finally got to meet my buddies Christopher, Ben, Chris, Chace, Brock, David (& Robin) and so on-
I plan on going solo. In a 78 DatsunZ. With a Ferrari GTO body kit. Powered by a Toyota 1UZ V8. I want to do it on my time. When I am ready. How do I go about documentation of my time to be recorded?
I am both grateful and disappointed that the early 2000s Mercedes era gets such a bad rep because it keeps them cheap to buy for what you're getting but it's so undeserved.
Sorry I missed St Marks this year. Had I known cannonballers were going to be there i would have gone. Like to meet you Ed and the other story tellers some day
I miss the old content! The ones with Doug/Rabbit/ Car lawyer guy/esc. Now it’s all that annoying British guy and Cannonball stuff. That being said the Euro Asian Bob guy is a great new addition but enough with cannonball/weird British guy stories!
guys don't have infinite stories - gotta be open to new people and new stories you might find a new favorite. also there's been plenty of John Ficarra, and some others
Dumping the fuel onto the interstate technically counts as continued carbon sequestration as you did not burn it to contaminate the air. Might be able to get carbon credits.

It was an amazing event and a huge honor to be a part of it. Thank you to everyone who was involved.
Love u man true inspiration
Shut up ed. Damn you

It was great to have you!

This was our love letter to cannonball. I'm delighted that so many enjoyed the event in the spirit it was intended. Fellowship.
Ed, I'm glad you got Beachem to go with you this past weekend. But my highlight was getting to see Harrison. Missed that crazy old guy!
Thanks Bryan it was nice seeing you too. It’s been to long.
Is it just me or are most comments shadow banned?
The counter says 17 comments, but I count less than half of that?

Awesome! Having you guys at the Great Marques Show at Old Westbury Gardens was a blast. The nicest outlaws you will ever meet!
Thanks Ed, It was a great weekend and it was fun to see everyone again.
This looks like it was an awesome event and it was so good to seen the silver E63 back after it encounters with a semi truck!!

What do you think would make the best Cannonball car?
Crown vic, stock on the out side, worked on the inside!
Audi S6 3.0 V6 tdi
W210 E320 with the M112. Huge trunk, huge fuel tank, great fuel economy and highway range. Huge backseat. 150mph top speed.
Super easy to disassemble and build on for countermeasures.
i think an aston martin made to look as much like a fusion as possible could work well.
E63 wagon , so much room for activities and whats more under the radar then a wagon ?
I just saw the cars last weekend. My wife, "The Mishka" finally got to meet my buddies Christopher, Ben, Chris, Chace, Brock, David (& Robin) and so on-
"I apologize to the polar bears and Greta Thornburg and everything like that" no he didn't 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
M112 v6 and M113 v8 are Japanese levels of dependable.
Ed, may i ask "hOw dArE YoU?!"
These cars will live forever!
If you did that whole story without a teleprompter I'm impressed.
Until I can finally do a run, I will live vicariously through Ed's Cannonball stories. Thank you for keeping the flame alive, Ed.
Those are popular cars in the museum
The irony of driving at an average speed above 100mph on public roads for a memorial drive.
Doug: My cannonball car is best cannonball car because..
Lock that patina down with a high quality matte clear coat. It should look great! I recommend the Standox brand.
Love those old AMGs w220 is the best looking s class
I could listen to Eds stories for hours
Was Fred Ashmore invited
What do you call a cannonball reunion?
Organized crime!
😂
So glad they are back on the road
This sounds like a Car Trek premise
I saw the W212 E63 AMG on the Cross Bronx over the weekend. Is there a run? 🤔
Hello From Wisconsin! Love the content Thank you
Just a suggestion on preserving the patina on your car. Could you possibly wrap it in a clear wrap to make it stay like it is.
Seems like a very cool community
I’ve seen 50% of Bruce McCaw’s collection at VRM. That man has a vintage Bentley fetish I swear.
How do I find out about these things before they happen so I can attend?
Always happy to hear about the Mercedes record cars
Cornelius would be proud. 🙌🏻
Did the ambulance that Jared has been working on make it? Rj in Oz
I plan on going solo. In a 78 DatsunZ. With a Ferrari GTO body kit. Powered by a Toyota 1UZ V8. I want to do it on my time. When I am ready. How do I go about documentation of my time to be recorded?
Any word on that Audi R8 blackbird that alex roy once encountered?
You know that was cool video, inspiring. Cars are cool
A Saab holds the record.......
LMAO at your quick apology to Greta. Thanks for sharing bud.
I am both grateful and disappointed that the early 2000s Mercedes era gets such a bad rep because it keeps them cheap to buy for what you're getting but it's so undeserved.
I was on the other side of the continent in my Cannonball car. Looks like everyone had a good time!
For patina preservation, you might try Vice Grip Garage's "shine juice" formula.
Hey Ed, thanks for sharing another great story!!! 👍👍🙂
older German amg cars were great. cant say the same about the new amg's (post 2015+)
Sorry I missed St Marks this year. Had I known cannonballers were going to be there i would have gone. Like to meet you Ed and the other story tellers some day
My fiero has been sitting for 10 years and I'm daily driving it at 270k miles 🥶
I apologize for the polar bears and everything about that and Greta Thurnberg...Love it lolol
Such an amazing weekend!
Great story and history 😊
I feel bad for that old Merc 🥲
More stories from Christopher Pls 😊
You guy should get The Patina Collective on they got hell cool old Benz!!!!!!
Great video
I miss the old content! The ones with Doug/Rabbit/ Car lawyer guy/esc. Now it’s all that annoying British guy and Cannonball stuff. That being said the Euro Asian Bob guy is a great new addition but enough with cannonball/weird British guy stories!
It's always been cannonball.. you're not an og.
This channel has always been cannonball stuff. It's kinda a big part of ed and naturally most of the group he's with does cannonball too.
I agree. Go back to the og’s of vinwiki. Can’t remember the last video I watched the whole way through. But I bet it was John ficarra.
guys don't have infinite stories - gotta be open to new people and new stories you might find a new favorite. also there's been plenty of John Ficarra, and some others
This guy...
3rd you should try a toyota aristo for the cannonball
I thought the cannonball car was a newer Eclass ?
Seal the paint under a layer of film.
It's been too long we did not have story by Christopher Michaels .....
Dumping the fuel onto the interstate technically counts as continued carbon sequestration as you did not burn it to contaminate the air. Might be able to get carbon credits.
We need a new cannonball movie.
Its in the works!
When I see the word Cannonball I click as fast as possible !
i need more stories from ed
I did the emissions test on the white car lol
Did he really say "COVID record cars"?
Still don't make it right, but hey, at least he apologized to the environment which is a lot more than you usually get out of people in Florida....
Clear vinyl wrap the car
What's up Ed?
Ed story at last. Far too many misses lately
Where's Chris?
Sorry to greta ahahah
Sup Ed!
