Misha, thank you for the oportunity to share our crazy project worldwide. It's a beloved project where the unity of all involved was something present since day 1. Also the proof than we can do whatever we want, if we compromise on doing it!! This car made lots of miles throughout this journey, but it made much more smiles throughout all the times we, the ones involved, passed looking after it. Special thanks also to RECIFE sponsor... without them, this was not possible!!! Thank you thank you all 💞💞💞
They were above 100mph (160kmh) constantly for large parts of the lap, big respect, I've no doubt that they lapped faster in this Puma than some of the rich boys who have all the gear and no idea.
I think that was the very first time a passenger / owner told Misha " go go go ". And never heard so much laughing in a lap. Brilliant! And reminds us of how brilliant the Puma used to be.
@HugoAraujoRacing congratulations on your wonderful project! I have seen Micha do lots of laps. I have never, ever seen him have so much fun! You are one very cool guy!
Man, as a fellow portuguese guy i cant stop laughing bcs of the "Recife" sticker since its a pretty well known junkyard located in the north of Portugal. Thanks a lot for your content Misha and Portugal caralho!!!
@@mikehunt3987 there were 3 engined based pumas. 1.4 / 1.6 and 1.7 - you still see some pumas once in a while, but mostly 1.4 and 1.6. The 1.7s are becoming rare.
@@mikehunt3987 the second hand market for pumas is really well stabilized since people don’t search them a lot and who have them keep them in well condition, so basically we don’t see a lot of them in circulation. And about the junkyard, as far as I know we don’t have major “brands” that goes north to south so it’s basically small companies distributed. Since I live in the northern part of Portugal (Braga) I know very well Recife since it’s where I go to try to find some parts for my old 480Turbo :)
It can be found for 500€ and if anything important breaks, it's probably uneconomical to repair, hence the scrapyard. Look at the upside, some people having great fun with it on its way out.
in some countries these cars were appreciated until they rusted to bits ! Maybe in Portugal it was not such a problem with rust, but other things let this car down.
This is probably the best video on the channel, pure gold! Essence of love for cars, it's not about the money, it's about the making new friends and sharing the same passion! Thank you Misha, and thank you guys from Portugal! Love you!
🇵🇹 Hello Misha. I had the pleasure to be a aprendice driver with Hugo and let me tell you: he is one of the best guy at racing enviroments! As a teacher, driver and person! You are very lucky to drive Jennifer and with Hugo company! I love the vídeo like others yours! A chalenge: come to Portugal and see and feel our pleasure for cars, racing and nice people like you! Cheers 🇵🇹
It's slightly more complicated than that, it's a ford block, shipped from Europe to Japan, built by Yamaha then shipped back to Europe to be installed in the car!
@@HugoAraujoRacing 1.6 were quite common in Focus, Mondeo and Fiestas of that time. They were pretty good and reliable, had good powerband, parts are to be found everywhere. Even engines like 1.6EB are based on this little fella.
I am from Portugal and I know Jennifer and Hugo and it's amazing that you two guys had so much fun on track. Very very good and fun video. Amazing 💪🏽💪🏽
Once again a small under powered well set up car gives us all a fully enjoyable lap, delivering to the driver the maximum amount possible in smiles & fun. Shitbox or ring tractor it does not matter when at the end of a lap you have face ache for several hours. 👍👍
I have driven a crazy amount of cars, currently have a 430hp sti and yet a standard ford puma on a country road is still to this day the best drive i have ever had in my life. It's great seeing you guys enjoying this chassis too and realising how much fun they are.... Now i need another 😂
This was one of my favorite videos from Misha. It touches on the camaraderie within car, culture, and shows how much fun you can have driving without laying out a whole ton of money.
Ford's from that time are such fun to drive. Puma, Fiesta MK5, Focus MK1... Very nice handling, and so reliable Zetec engines. Even the Zetec SE (Like 1.6 or that 1.7) are pretty light and even potentiables!! I did some laps with my Focus MK1 in the ring and it was one of the most enjoyable things I did in my life!!! The Owner looks such a nice guy, thanks for the video and cheers from another Iberian Neighboor!!
in india we got ford ikon basically fiesta mk5 but in sedan form , i still have my 2005 model with 100hp but some horses are long lost as i have already clocked half a million kms and is still going strong she definately loves twisties in northern himalayas though the brakes are shitty
A lot of cars from that era were pretty fun to drive, they were really light and quite a few of the engines produced a fair bit of power, this was before all the safety and environmental laws came into place.
I had this engine in the Fiesta MK5 and i really loved this car. The steering is so nice and involving, the engine sound is very nice and shifting in Puma and Fiesta MK5 was great. But the rust took em all... loved this era!
You've made so many great videos Misha but this one is up there! Probably top 5! So many laughs and another proof that you don't need an expensive car to have fun! 🤣❤️👍
This was such a fun video, wish I saw it a year ago. The owner seems like such a great guy! My missus used to have a 1.7 Puma. It was a great, fun little car. Great video
"You build the best shitbox ever" I'm the mecanic. I appreciate the words, they only give me more strength to continue. It took many hours of work to arrive at this set up, with a low budget and scrap parts, it is gratifying to get the person who drives the most different and expensive cars on the nurburgring to smile and like it this way. thanks @misha (sorry for the bad english.

Good job! What car the Brembo brakes came from e.g. Ibiza Cupra ? Or just new calibers and adapters? Also what is the geometry setup - camber and caster?
@@teppouotinen9136 The front brakes are from a Ford Fusion and the rear brakes are from a Fiesta St. The rear suspension is AP coillovers from a puma that was in the scrapyard and the front suspension is the original one with worked springs
Most laughter I've seen in a Misha-piloted car ever. I too love these fundamental cars where the driver is as consequential, or more, than the equipment. Great car, great video!
This is basically where Im at with my Puma right now , cost me £500 6 years ago and last month I came incredibly close to scrapping it but I've decided she deserves some love and after this video I think I've made the right decision and it's given me some idea's on where to start
When I saw the puma in the thumbnail, I knew you would have fun. The late 90s early 00s fords were amazing cars in terms of setup. Fiesta, mk1 focus, puma, all very fun to drive...and the owner is crazy 🤣🤣🤣
We have a 150€ Puma in our garage we have turned into a trackday toy and it is simply one of the best cars I've had the pleasure to drive on backroads and on track.
Whom else got fun watching this ????? This is probably my favorite video now from you, this car allowed you to have soo much fun cornering and while cruising cracking jokes left and right !!!! Well done my man lmao😅😅😅
The old Ford Puma is such a great car. The "car of the year award" by Top Gear was well deserved. Owned one for a few years and also did some laps on the Nordschleife. The nostalgia kicks in watching this video
Once owned Puma (1.7) and that were the most fun car that I have ever had. Sadly had to sell it, because family getting bigger (kids...). Not even V6 Alfa (156) was that fun to push around the back roads in Finland. No need for 500+ hp or all the gadgetry & electronics.
La légende dit que Misha est encore sur le nurburgring avec cette jolie petite ford puma !! J'ai jamais vue autant de sourire sur un tour de Nurb 😂❤ tout simplement incroyable !!! 😊
*This was by far the most fun and goofy ride ever!* "it's a lady with a man's voice" ... "error-dynamics" ... "play with her rear end but be careful it's a lady" ... "it's a lady but she wants to be ridden hard" ... just to name a few 🤣
#makepumagreatagain 😂 Hugo Marcos tb deve estar tão orgulhoso . Quero um dos episódios do Caronlinetv só para contarem esta aventura Hugo A. Parabéns 👊🏼🇵🇹
I love low powered cars like this, giving all they got and screaming for their life's 😂😂, they are the funnies laps, also having Misha driving makes it possible obviously 😂, otherwise you're screwed.
i am from Portugal as well and this video made me proud... btw i have a 97 renaut clio that a bought for 250€ but im still getting my drivers licence and fixing the car... maybe some day i will get to the ring
Mal vi a bandeira de Portugal no vidro vi logo que ia ter uma aventura que iria valer a pena ver! Não resisti ! Muito bom, fez-me lembrar eu na adolescência com um Ibiza 1000cc na pista e neons verdes por baixo a rir da cara dos outros que ficavam de boca aberta a olhar ahahah
This has to be one of the wildest and funniest laps I've seen you do! And what an amazing story behind the car as well! Awesome video, had a smile on my face the whole time! : D
What a riot! Love how the shitbox just short circuits any ego and expectations and just lets the fun happen. And Hugo's such a blast, I'd totally hang out anytime - I lived in Portugal as a kid, such good times ;) Thanks everyone involved!
Nice to see the Puma get some love. I bought one many years ago as a stop gap while I was looking for another car. I ended up keeping it for 4 years & did many many laps of the Ring in it over 4 awesome visits there. So much fun & vey quick round the twisty stuff.👍
Go Portugal. Congrats to all. I'm really excited to see Misha seeing a bit of what is Portugal and Portuguese people. Hope some day, not too far away, a can experience the ring, and if possible, visit Apex and you.🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
The Puma is the most underrated first car in the world. Cheap as dirt, extremely fun to drive, good engines and suspension. I liked it so much I bought two actually. With Pirelli P Zeroes and harder springs I outcornered all my friends shitty Golfs and E36s :D This was exactly how I remember mine: doing 140 in the turns, bonnet literally waving in front of me and when I was done I had the exact same expression as Misha at 18:57 "oh yeah, if I crash I'm dead". Cars like this will not be made anymore.
@@HugoAraujoRacing I used to have two. A rusty 1.4L shitbox, then a good condition 1.6L, ECU tuned, harder springs, front lower and upper strut braces, larger wheels and Pirelli P Zeroes. Most of the time, I ran out of balls before the car exceeded its limits :D
9:35 well done, it's impressive how Misha is always on the lookout and has his eyes in the rearview mirrors. I loved the video, the owner is very funny, the atmosphere is good, the car has a great story...
An inspiration to sees guys having a million dollars worth of fun in such a modest car. Says a lot about their knowledge and character. i was smiling along with you!
I literally thought the same ErrorDynamics joke as soos as owner said "Aerodynamics" and the next second Misha speaks it into existence, so cool to realize we share common mentality 🤣
It looks like this car has been underestimated for more than 2 decades in most of European countries. A hidden gem! Brits love it though since day 1 (they love everything with a blue oval badge really). It has a bang tidy chassi with a great and precise gearbox. Nice revi 1.7 engine with a great sound and fortunately with no rust issues in countries like Portugal. Future classic sporty all-rounder.
Portuguese Puma Power FTW!! That was one of your best videos because I felt like I was with you inside the car having the same amount of fun... Top! Hugo parabéns pela máquina e pela energia!!
One of the most fun u can have on it.....thanks for sharing, and for the owner, thanks for the funny spirit.....u guys seems to had a lot of fun on that.,...
🇵🇹 Mas que maravilha de volta , Hugo ! Fantástico! Parabens !! Thank you also Misha ! Your videos are awesome !! Like we say in portuguese , "ca p*ta de kit de unhas" 😂😎🔥🇵🇹
The Puma is an incredibly stable car, very easy to find and keep it at the limit. I really think Ford used some sort of magic when they made that car, because when you look at the suspension it has no right to be as good as it is.
Misha, thank you for the oportunity to share our crazy project worldwide. It's a beloved project where the unity of all involved was something present since day 1. Also the proof than we can do whatever we want, if we compromise on doing it!!

Lindo ver Tugas no canal do Misha, muito bom vídeo e boa sorte com o vosso projeto!
I used to have a Puma. Would you consider to let join more people and money to tune it even more? I would be in :)
Portugal! 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Outstanding work, Nobody had more fun that day on the Ring.
Passenger telling Misha to go faster on a 500$ shitbox is pure gold. Great video misha
He´s a well known portuguese professional rally driver, that´s why 😂
Yes, more of this please
Die 2 Trottel - zu geil!!!😂
Love it!
I would kill to get any car at 500 bucks that isnt in a rotting scrapyard
The owner is crazier than Misha. That's almost dangerously fun
Not crazy... Well just a little bit hahahah But i had done some laps before with her, i knew what she could do :D
Welcome to Portugal 😂
nah, just the average portuguese backroad enthusiast ahah
@@FOXeye95 It seems he is a pro rallydriver from Portugal so that explains a lot :D (Hugo Araújo)
Bem vindo a Portugal CARALHO
Love it when two professional drivers drive together, their nutty energy just feeds off eachother. All the "flat flat flat flat"!!!
Great to be on this epic track with epic Misha and my epic jenifer 🙌🙌🙌
They were above 100mph (160kmh) constantly for large parts of the lap, big respect, I've no doubt that they lapped faster in this Puma than some of the rich boys who have all the gear and no idea.
Apparently they did 8.30 around the ring which is actually a pretty impressive time.
Just here to make sure you know that this is km/h
Meaning they only hit 100 mph at 160 kmh
@@manuelventura3799 Yes of course I know that 😂😂😂
The speedometer is pretty optimistic, guess it shows at least 20% higher speed vs reality… wellknown problem od Ford speedometers
@@madbull4666I'd love to see him take an FRP (Ford racing puma) for a lap.

It was so awesome... Cant wait to get back ;) Jeni did 10 laps... she wants more :D

500 Euro Ford, doesn't overheat, brakes, steers, huge fun. 50+ k Euro tuned VW/Audi/Seat "we should slow down, it's overheating". :)
And went from Portugal - SPA - Nurburgring - Lemans - SPA always like it was stolen... 5300kms without a single issue!!!!

That was my wife's car for 14 years, from 2000 to 2014. Kind of hard to see people looking at it as a 500 Euro scrapyard piece.
Im quite sure minimum 90% of all watching this would have a go on the track in this car :D
nah man, the car's allowing a lot of people a lot of fun in its twilight years, let her watch this so she too can enjoy it one last time 😄
That's one puma going out with a roar, 'though.... We should all be so lucky.

Hugo Marcos tb deve estar tão orgulhoso . Quero um dos episódios do Caronlinetv só para contarem esta aventura Hugo A. Parabéns 👊🏼🇵🇹
Obrigado 👊👊🙌🙌
I don't think I've ever commented on one of your videos but... That was pure joy. Love it.
Thank you 🙌🙌
I love low powered cars like this, giving all they got and screaming for their life's 😂😂, they are the funnies laps, also having Misha driving makes it possible obviously 😂, otherwise you're screwed.
for sure, it's the smiles, not the miles per hour :D
@@HugoAraujoRacing 100% 😆
I think this is the most fun lap yet, was great to see you both having so much fun with the car and the guys laugh is infectious 😂😂😂
hahah tks mate :D
GO JENNIFER!! Class😂😂the owner is a top guy. What a great watch this was the best yet😃
well thank you :d
i am from Portugal as well and this video made me proud... btw i have a 97 renaut clio that a bought for 250€ but im still getting my drivers licence and fixing the car... maybe some day i will get to the ring
Dream big 👊👊🙌🙌
Mal vi a bandeira de Portugal no vidro vi logo que ia ter uma aventura que iria valer a pena ver! Não resisti ! Muito bom, fez-me lembrar eu na adolescência com um Ibiza 1000cc na pista e neons verdes por baixo a rir da cara dos outros que ficavam de boca aberta a olhar ahahah
Obrigado 🙌🙌👊👊
A 1,7 16V Zetec Ford Puma with 125hp was my first car back in 2003 and it was so much fun to drive. A very underrated car back in the days!
Here in Portugal it was a ladies car... mostly the 1.4
This has to be one of the wildest and funniest laps I've seen you do! And what an amazing story behind the car as well! Awesome video, had a smile on my face the whole time! : D
Thank you for the kind words!! Thank you thank you!
What a riot! Love how the shitbox just short circuits any ego and expectations and just lets the fun happen.
And Hugo's such a blast, I'd totally hang out anytime - I lived in Portugal as a kid, such good times ;)
Thanks everyone involved!
Thank you for your nice coment. Been away from PT now ?? Cheers 👊
Fantastic Puma from Portugal.
Congratz to Hugo Araújo (fantastic driver Racer and a fantastic person)
🇵🇹
Muito obrigado !! Tugas power
Nice to see the Puma get some love. I bought one many years ago as a stop gap while I was looking for another car. I ended up keeping it for 4 years & did many many laps of the Ring in it over 4 awesome visits there. So much fun & vey quick round the twisty stuff.👍
For sure, its a great car 🙌🙌
Thank you Misha for your insane driving skills with this funny Portuguese dude as your navigator. Jennifer is a nice lady.
💥💥👊🇵🇹🇵🇹
Go Portugal. Congrats to all. I'm really excited to see Misha seeing a bit of what is Portugal and Portuguese people. Hope some day, not too far away, a can experience the ring, and if possible, visit Apex and you.🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Thank you. Jeni is now an ambassador 🤣🤣
Incredible lap, owned a Puma myself, great little cars. Also love the owners attitude, Go Jenifer!! :D
Thank you !!👍
Honestly, the best video on your channel Misha ... so far, so much fun, laughs, crazy speed in corners .. just love it!
Thank you !!👍
By far my favourite video on your channel. Pure fun, pure driving craziness! Thank you 🙏
haha tks.
Man this was so fun to watch! Gave me that track day feeling and excitement when you tell your friends about how cool and fast your lap was!
Hahaha exactly that!! Thank you 👊👊
The Puma is the most underrated first car in the world. Cheap as dirt, extremely fun to drive, good engines and suspension. I liked it so much I bought two actually. With Pirelli P Zeroes and harder springs I outcornered all my friends shitty Golfs and E36s :D
This was exactly how I remember mine: doing 140 in the turns, bonnet literally waving in front of me and when I was done I had the exact same expression as Misha at 18:57 "oh yeah, if I crash I'm dead". Cars like this will not be made anymore.
It was a mega surprise for me. And you have 2??? Awesome!! Congratulations
@@HugoAraujoRacing I used to have two. A rusty 1.4L shitbox, then a good condition 1.6L, ECU tuned, harder springs, front lower and upper strut braces, larger wheels and Pirelli P Zeroes. Most of the time, I ran out of balls before the car exceeded its limits :D
@@nizzan91 awesome 🙌🙌👊👊
Ford Puma was my first car! Fun car for the money, 1000kg weight and great Yamaha engine 👍
In fact !! What a car !
9:35 well done, it's impressive how Misha is always on the lookout and has his eyes in the rearview mirrors.
I loved the video, the owner is very funny, the atmosphere is good, the car has a great story...
Tks from my side :D
Probably the first time I’ve seen the owner asked Misha to keep pushing 😂 great video great car and great drive as always! ❤
Thank u 🙌🙌👊👊
🇵🇹 Portuguese low buget engineering 😅
Lots of laughts and Awesome driving from Misha 🇵🇹 🤘😂🤘
looooow budget and with a lot of help from Recife parts!
PORTUGAL 🇵🇹 A REPRESENTAR!!!!! BORA BORA, SOMOS OS MAIORES 🇵🇹
Somos os maiores carago 🙏🙏👊👊
That was mental! That puma is truly living it's best life
for sure... 5300kms in 1 week. portugal - Spa - ring - lemans - Portugal.... awesome!
An inspiration to sees guys having a million dollars worth of fun in such a modest car. Says a lot about their knowledge and character. i was smiling along with you!
Thank u for the nice coment 🙌🙌👊👊
I literally thought the same ErrorDynamics joke as soos as owner said "Aerodynamics" and the next second Misha speaks it into existence, so cool to realize we share common mentality 🤣
I laughed a lot with that one hahah
Not gonna lie, that shift to fourth ( 13:10 ) melt my heart man, i watched it like 100 times.
Keep up man, this was hilarious 😁👍
Budget vtec 🙌🙌
The best ride along video in ages! 😂 Proof that you don’t need big horse power and fancy setups to have fun!
Indeed... thank u 👊👊
It looks like this car has been underestimated for more than 2 decades in most of European countries. A hidden gem! Brits love it though since day 1 (they love everything with a blue oval badge really). It has a bang tidy chassi with a great and precise gearbox. Nice revi 1.7 engine with a great sound and fortunately with no rust issues in countries like Portugal. Future classic sporty all-rounder.
Spot on!! ❤❤👊👊
🇵🇹 O que é tuga é bom. Contra factos não há argumentos. Vamos fazer este vídeo chegar além de fronteiras lusas 🇵🇹
Obrigado meu caro, é partilhar :D Obrigado
Portuguese Puma Power FTW!! That was one of your best videos because I felt like I was with you inside the car having the same amount of fun... Top! Hugo parabéns pela máquina e pela energia!!
Obrigado 🇵🇹🇵🇹🙌🙌
Lindooo orgulho português 🙏🇵🇹🇵🇹 parabéns aos responsáveis 🙌🙌
Obrigado 🙌🙌👊👊
Had a blue 1.7 for 2 years. One of the best cars I've ever driven.
I guess you miss it 🙌🙌 tks
The interaction of these 2 in the car during the lap will cure depression worldwide.
Hahahah maybe. Lets share this throughout the world then 👊👊
One of the most fun u can have on it.....thanks for sharing, and for the owner, thanks for the funny spirit.....u guys seems to had a lot of fun on that.,...
He is giving me Portuguese Tom Cruise vibes 🤣👌🏻 probably the funniest video so far I had so much fun watching!
Thank you so much... Not the first one that tells that of T.C... hahaha
You both had such a great time. Thank you for sharing the fun with us.
Thank you for seeing and liking :D
🇵🇹 Mas que maravilha de volta , Hugo ! Fantástico! Parabens !!
Thank you also Misha ! Your videos are awesome !!
Like we say in portuguese , "ca p*ta de kit de unhas" 😂😎🔥🇵🇹
Obrigado 🇵🇹🇵🇹👊👊
One of my favorite laps ever. Jenifer is awesome and well done Misha with keeping the revs up.
Thank you
This was so much fun to watch! Great video as always. 👍
Thank you :D
I'm buying a 1.7 puma because of the guys in Portugal. Never though that is car is soo good
🇵🇹 made in the north Portugal🇵🇹 Brave people 💪🏼💪🏼
100 km/h (60 mi/h) in the caroussel... one of the fastest non-race car I've seen in that curve so far !!
Misha was doing it sooo fast hahaha but Jeni handled it nicely !
Went round it faster than the guy with the GT2 RS MR and that guy was going for it!
@@HugoAraujoRacing ...and maybe a little mention to those tires, whatever they are, who played a major role here !
@@firemat2767toyo 888r 👊👊
The Puma is an incredibly stable car, very easy to find and keep it at the limit. I really think Ford used some sort of magic when they made that car, because when you look at the suspension it has no right to be as good as it is.
