Some of these items are located at Speed Nymph Garage.

    As a hot rodder the name of Dennis Varni is well known to me. But a glimpse of his collection, and seeing the 'human side' of Mr. Varni is a real treat! (oh, and those hooks on the side of the grill? They look like the ones used to suspend mail sacks when the mail is getting separated at the post office!)

    Well that was just fantastic ..what a wonderful eclectic collection .. and so very much in the spirit of the Petersen with the 'hot rod' feeling many of the vehicles have, including the 454 engined Yellowstone 🚌 !!! Just had to use that emoji as it actually almost looks like the bus in question !!! (😂) I'm guessing there may be a Part Two, as I know Dennis has, or has had, some other fantastic cars, including a beautiful Miura S he bought back in 1979 featured on Petrolicious, and a sublime Graber bodied Alfa he's shown at Pebble Beach. Thanks so much for this Dennis (and your video crew), all the cars' builders and collaborators, and, as always, everyone at The Petersen Museum .. infinite 🌟 s !!! Take care everybody, and see you all at the next Petersen Monterey Car Week event .. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ... 😃

    Day 2 !!! Looking .. GOOD !!! I spy, with my little eye, among others, a lovely yellow 105 Series Alfa, a beautiful blue Giulietta, AND a gorgeous 70's Husqvarna, hiding behind the blue Alfa !!! See you all soon everybody !!! 😃

      @steviesindahouse4903 3 года назад

      @@alexmartinez280 Hi Alex, Dennis has a lot more interesting cars. Many of these Petersen tours have two parts, so I'm hoping there's a part two coming up where they'll feature these other cars and hopefully his blue Giulietta too. And if there isn't a part two yet, maybe there could be .. hint, hint Dennis, and the Petersen! Interestingly too, though it doesn't say that much about it here, Dennis is (or has been) a world record holder on the salt flats .. over 300 mph! Craaaaazy! I've seen two cars go over 300 mph, side by side, at the drag strip, getting there in a shade over 1000 feet and in a little over 3.7 seconds! Another world! Here's hoping we get to see more on the blue Giulietta! 😃

  • @alexmartinez280

    The Alfa GTA is my standout, I wish he didn’t skip over that beautiful blue Alfa under the GTA!!! Looked like a Sprint Speciale

    What a fantastic collection and great stories. Dennis is a real artist and a great storyteller with a fantastic collection of historic cars and fun stories. I can't decide if the Fiat Multipla, the 265 mph Belly Tank, or the Ming the Merciless trailer is my favorite part. Pity we only saw bits and pieces of it thanks to poor camera work. At least we got to look around at the cool neon and memorabilia on the walls.

    I love this channel being a life long Gearhead and Hot Rodder! And I don't like leaving negative comments but your camera man is absolutely horrible!!! Please, please, please find a much better camera man! It really spoils the incredible content that you have when you use a horrible camera man that doesn't have a clue how to get properly frame a shot and get good angles.

  • @johna1160
    @johna1160 3 года назад +1

    Grinds my gears when gazzillionaires won't spend a few bucks to hire a competent cameraman to follow them around what is a most impressive collection, and actually show us what the host is talking about in real time without making us all seasick.

    • @dphotos007
