Mighty Car Mods is an independent automotive series created by a couple of friends, Marty and Moog who started filming videos on Martys mum's driveway in 2007. They've come a long way since then but still have an unwavering focus to show their viewers fantastic automotive projects that they can do themselves at home. The MCM boys make cars, and they make movies. In fact they do it all, including the music, editing, and automotive with some help from their friends along the way. Being completely independent, the boys don't have to answer to anyone except their own creative spirit and their focus is on quality over quantity. It doesn't matter if you have a brand new turbo charged beast, or an old banger found in your grandfathers shed. Mighty Car Mods openly embraces anyone who wants to better themselves and their cars through involvement with the MCM Community.
great video and, I think, the right attitude toward the car. In the Classic Airplane community, many consider themselves as "stewards" of their planes; just taking care of it until the next guy comes along to get it. (someday, when travel can happen again, I will make a trip to the Land Down Under, and am looking forward to lunch at Wishbone!)
I’ve been to the laguna seca race track as a passenger in a lotus race car and it’s unbelievable how well they grip it’s like they are glued to the track.
Great video. Plural of Lotus is Lotus. Bathurst is such a legendary and iconic circuit. Takes some brass balls to drive it in race conditions. Mad respect for the Australian Supercar drivers who can master this track.
This is one of my top 5 dream cars and used to be the only one attainable for its price. If I could I would buy this hands down! Great work and truly one if not the best example of a exige S.
Awesome car. Awesome job you guys did fixing it up. Awesome decision to let it go and bring joy to somebody that would actually use it as it was intended to be used.
I love the attitude of you gent's. Your wittyness is unparalleled, and how you explain actual facts with the way you deliver your jokes is so smooth plus the seamless editing, magnificent. I'm proud to be a subscriber. I had heard you guys split up recently I sincerely hope not because you guys seem like the best of friends. Please keep educating us viewers with your wisdom.
Nice video, but I can't believe that after all this journey you're going to sell it. These cars need time, patience and many miles to get the right confidence. I have a PP240 with 260 mods, therefore it is almost a twin of yours. Don't sell it or you will regret it.
while watching the video MOST time I have to watch a person's face INSTEAD OF WATCHING THE RACE RUN ... the author seems to really like his face to be watched
When i first saw the title, i thought, "Oh, MOOG's selling his Exige." Now @6:41 i'm wondering, "Oh fuck. I hope he doesn't kill the thing on track..." WHAT A RELIEF! He's selling it! I agree with your musings about owning one of these. I had the same experience with an S1 Elise. After a year the fact that you could drive over a coin in the road and know whether it was heads or tails up began to get on my tits. So i wrote it off on a diesel covered bend by bouncing it off two large ornimental pieces of rock leaving the industrial estate where i worked at the time. I reckon if you're gonna crash something, DO IT PROPERLY! 🤣 End result: it needed both front and rear clams, rad, osr suspension re-attaching and a new osr wheel. I still have both the hard and soft top for it, a new driver's seat, headlight covers, clear indicator lenses, driver's side padded sill cover, diffuser and other small spares. So i haven't yet ruled out getting another one but that one would be a spare car and not an everyday car.
The manufacturing process for the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine involves the production of a virus, the adenovirus, which carries the genetic material to the cells inside the body. To produce this virus in the laboratory, a “host” cell line is needed. The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine uses a cell line called HEK-293 cells. HEK-293 is the name given to a specific line of cells used in various scientific applications. The original cells were taken from the kidney of a legally aborted foetus in 1973 Human MRC-5 cells (a genetically normal male human lung fibroblast-like line) A549 cells (a human male lung epithelial-like continuous line derived from carcinomatous tissue) and HEK293 cells (human embryonic kidney epithelial cell line immortalised by human adenovirus E1. Carcinomatosis, A condition in which cancer is spread widely throughout the body, or, in some cases, to a relatively large region of the body. Also called carcinosis A condition in which cancer is spread widely throughout the body, or, in some cases, to a relatively large region of the body. Also called carcinosis.
I feel personally attacked! All those things he simply was too ethical to do to the car, I am doing, Hardly ever drive it(check) never take it on the track although modified to the nth to do so( check) sitting under a cover for months at a time in a garage in another state( check) Ima greedy little biatche' I don't care if I crap myself on the regular in diapers, still gonna have my night nurse wheel me out to take a look at it after medicine time, but before my nightcap of prune juice.
I respect the absolute shit out of you guys, and that respect only proves to get larger and larger with every video that I see. "I don't feel like I have the right to lock it away, just so that I can drive it a few times per year." You guys are a special kind of car-guys, keep up the great work!
I totally get selling this car. I understand the phrase now, that "this car was trying to kill me." I'll sleep easier knowing it's back to nuggety nuggets and cool turbo stuff. They both radiate fun as hosts when they have cars that fit them a bit better. This Lotus was like an expensive tuxedo being taken to a movie...too hard to eat popcorn and chips.
You guys are like some rare wild animal rehabilitation workers but with cars, awesome to see gem like this put to good use and then to be released in to the wild again
It's so cringe to watch Moog not know how to rev-match downshift. Forget about even heel-toeing, you at least have to blip the throttle on downshifts. It's not even race car stuff, just normal downshift technique even on the street. Surely Marty can rev-match, please teach Moog!
damn. I love the Lotus. All that work and effort just to get rid of it. I get it, maybe the connection wasn't there, idk your personal situation with the car. It was great while it lasted.
