Roadworthy Rescues

As a lifetime car lover, I relate to what Derek has done to get the cars back on the road. Just keep to the track of the show. Bring them back to life and not have a ton of off camera work to make them run and function. I enjoy the different terms for things and his odd ball ratios used to describe things. I wouldn't mind jumping in, getting the hands dirty to assist on a build. He relates well to a lot of shade tree mechanics. Perhaps show a few things about points in old distributors and things done in the past to show this generation how things worked in the past. I will be watching season 2!

At first I thought of Roadkill, but that's not fair at all.

Derek is a charming guy that's almost impossible to not like.

He and his brother roam around the country side finding cars that have been given up on, and he gets them going in his own way. They do some remarkable work, while Derek does a running commentary that only he knows where some of those words came from.

I'm on my fourth episode and they're becoming more entailing not less. One hour of smiles. This is the kind of work many of us can identify with. Recommended! My earlier remark about Roadkill was because every once in a while they do something similar on that show. But they don't do it with the same style. This is fast becoming a favorite of mine.

Derek, thank you for all the hard work you and your family do to make this and your YouTube channel happen.

Your video's are amazing. And what I like about you is that you haven't changed a thing since your first videos. Sure the quality is better, but you stayed yourself. Even with the Roadworthy series on Motortrend. Please don't ever get caught in the fame, don't change how you are!

You aspire many people. And you have aspired me for sure! I bought a 74' Olds Omega when I was 17 and 4 years later I had it restored. Every time I watched your videos it made me want to work on my car. Thank you for that.

And it goes deeper then cars only. You are an example for people. Running a YouTube channel and in the meantime we as viewers still get the idea that you have your family on number 1. And that's just great to see.

Hope to meet you some day.

What a nice show that shows how we did it back then. Derek your great. Please keep up the work and truly enjoy show. The cars and trucks you pick are priceless. Thank you and hope to see more seasons. I have been binge watching the first few shows and I am hooked. I have recommended your show to other car buffs and now they are hooked. Refreshing and keep up the great work.

Do you Have your own website. I am from Canada and would like to maybe get merchandise. We need more shows like this to just enjoy and reminisce about good old days. The 64 Belaire episode was one of my favourites so far. Can't wait for week. Cheers.

I was an automotive channel binge watcher for years, loving old vehicles, driving them, fixing them up. But I have stopped watching the shows that were on due to several factors. First, taking an old car apart and pouring endless amounts of money that most of us don't have to turn it into nothing reminiscent of its original state. Essentially a brand new vehicle now with a hundred grand in it. The best part of having an old vehicle is all of it, the feel of it, the smell of it, the way it handles and sounds, otherwise just go buy a new car!! My lifelong search was for original survivors that have not been destroyed by wealthy bored people who didn't ever appreciate the original vehicles. I also got really tired of the ridiculous shows that spent more time filming people doing everything but actually working on a car. I like Derek, his sense of humor, not afraid to get dirty, doesn't have a perfect $100k show car at the end. I will be watching this in hopes it doesn't go the way the rest of them do when they are a popular show.
