Roger was a gem. I loved it when he quoted Chaucer or some other classic author. He probably should have retired earlier before he got hurt on the job. I think he was about 80
No restorer in his right mind would agree to a restoration for a fixed fee up front; there are too many unknowns and surprises. Restorations must be done by the hour and parts costs.
I have watched watched CCC for years from over here in the UK & loved every single episode & Wayne & his staff & friends were a joy to watch.i wish them all well
I thought he and Wayne were good friends but Wayne obviously tossed him aside when he needed help - so sad. Apparently no health ins. for garage employees and where was L&I if he got hurt on the job? They wouldn't have continued doing the show if they weren't making money and yet Roger(a favorite) neve got a dime for his part. Shame on you Wayne!
@@MrHarleyoldfart You need to watch the show and then you need to re-read my comment. Roger was a friend of Wayne and an important part of the show yet never got anything for his part in the show. Never got any assistance from his friend Wayne who turned his back on him when he got hurt in Wayne's shop. Roger was a favorite of fans and those fans are pissed off about how Roger was treated!!
@@Hogger280 agree with you. Even if there wasn't a contractual obligation to share some royalties, it sure would have been the 'nice' thing, the kind thing, the proper thing, (you get my drift) to do.
He seems like an elitist snob to me, and drives me nuts with his adding in auction fees to make it look like he made more money on a sale, while simultaneously omitting them on what he buys to make it look like he got a better deal.
I have had the honor of being Wayne's escort and golf cart driver the last two years at the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival. What has impressed me so much about Wayne has been his respect for the spectators who would like to meet him. Wayne takes the time to talk to people, asking about their cars and lives, and always is willing to spend time with the folks on a non superficial level. He told me he more and more wants to spend time with his family. That explains why we may not see him as often. Anyway, he is a super guy and I wish him and his family good health and much happiness together.
Always thought he would never give anyone a bargain, always wanting top dollar+ for his cars, which as a businesman is fine but on the other hand it is driving up prices for the average guy.
In the beginning I watched the series regularly. After a while I however got a bit of a sour taste from it. Mostly from the hoity toity expensive car world it described in general. That whole trade is always out to make a ridiculous killing by massaging peoples purses. Extremely staged series about making easy money where all the rage then anyway. Carini seemed to be a happy fish in those waters but I’d rather watch Flipping Bangers, etc.
Why do the auctioneers talk like they come from mars !! Whats the point ? If i went to an auction where someone was talking like they are a crack head i would have to take my money elsewhere.
This is purely my opinion. To me he seemed a bit disingenuous. I always thought he was more about the money. His "passion" for a particular car seemed a lot like a sales pitch than true sentiment. It's important to understand that he gets commissions for for finding cars for people so the cheaper he can buy a car is where he makes his real money. Again ... My personal take.
Loved the show and found it interesting but could not stand when every time he bought a car, he would run into another room with the seller, never to reveal the sale price of the car. Imagine American Picker’s Mike Wolfe doing that every time he buys something. That’s the whole point of the show ! Ridiculous.
I loved his show but always got the feeling he real buys cheap and sells at the top of the market. Some say that’s good business; others say he puts the screws to both buyers and sellers. I’d watch his show but never buy a car off of him.
He seems to loose money often at the auctions so it's swings and roundabouts.if people aren't happy with a price he may offer for a car then sell it elsewhere.if his showroom prices are to high then make an offer or go elsewhere.its a business after all and there's staff to pay .if it wasn't for people like Wayne nobody would have a job .seems like a good guy .
I’ve got to meet Wayne several times. Down to earth, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I love the guy, and loved the show! I wish him the best.
Not a fan of Carini.
He loved sweet talking the elderly widows out of their husbands beloved cars.

Roger was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humour. 👍

@Hogger280 Roger was an employee of Waynes, Wayne paid him for working in the shop, what more do you want?

@@Hogger280 100% correct sir.

Not really sure what happened and probably shouldn't comment but I don't think he treated his employee roger barr too well
Roger that.
& Why Did Say That ? ?
This has been around for years. I don't know Mr Carini personally nor Mr. Barr, so I don't know what has gone on in this arena.
AGREED

You do realize how auctions work dummy. The sellers don’t pay anything besides a minimal listing fee if anything, the buyers pay the premium.

He is not a pro, every time a specialist needs to connect him
Came over as a bit of bully ..liked everyone to pander to him

He is a little bit of a hard ass.
We used to call these Hoosiers. Hoosier buddy? Hoosier friend? You already know the answer to this question. 🧐

@@nalatreborrenoclaf9648 He seldom looses money at auctions….come on now!!
He adds in the auction fees to gloat about what his cars sell for while simultaneously omitting them on what he buys to make him look better.
Tough to turn a profit restoring cars in general.
Loved The Show Very Much , Miss The Show ! !
Never heard him say please to his employees.
I’ve got to meet Wayne several times. Down to earth, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I love the guy, and loved the show! I wish him the best.
Clarssic cars?
I wish he wouldn't say "classic" like that...
Ice hole 🎉
Have you ever met Wayne and spent time around him? I have, and he is a gentleman
Hope you are ok
tragic
Nice person
Claaarsic cars lol
Who SPEAKS like that???
