Jack, you simply MUST take yourself and the old man to Goodwood FOS and drive those perfectly restored v8 supercars hard (don't be soft) up that hill. You will never forget a memory like that and the poms love our v8 SC's...
Nothing better than a Perkins father and son combo at Goodwood...
Great inside story episodes too btw 👍
Agreed
Castrol is an international brand. There's a perfect sponsor. Make a documentary of the preparation and trip and job done.
Imagine Larry and Jack in their own race winning cars thrilling the huge crowds at Goodwood. Gold.
@@70XU1 That's a great idea! I'd watch that
100%, it would be epic with these things tearing up the hill
Thanks for a great couple of video's. As a kid, I always imagined the great drivers as being able to get cars for free and splash money around on racing, I'm sure others may have had a similar perception.. Jack with out big detail, shows how really it is probably one of the hardest ways to make a living. Hundreds of hours in building, more in repairs, chasing sponsors, the unseen time virtually volunteered. I remember the vb to vs era well, and it was probably my favourite because of the little guys like Larry and the availability for privateers and these small teams to run and be competitive. Anyway, thanks again for a very enjoyable and informative video's.
Larry's always loved his tractors. Such a great channel. Love the cars. Perkins Holden always stayed loyal to Holden. 💯😂🇦🇺👏😎
I grew up in a Ford family as a Ford fan. I will never forget asking my dad if he would ever support a Holden. He said “I will always support Larry Perkins, his cars look good and his a top guy”.
At the time I didn’t know what that meant other than the good looking race cars; especially in Castrol livery. But as I’ve watched the content coming from Jack and Larry I’ve really learnt to understand that. Both Jack and Larry seem like top guys, which is so good to see. Jack may not have been as successful as his dad but I’m so glad that he owns the car that brought him his success, you can see how much that means to him.
At the end of the day what’s a victory if no one wants to support you after the fact. Skaife, SVG, Wincup eat your heart out. The Perkins family are bigger champions than you will ever be.
I'm impressed with how down to earth Jack seems to be. Hopefully he keeps restoring cool shit for years to come!
This channel deserves so much more recognition Hello as always from Rotorua New Zealand 🤘 😎 ❤
What a good bloke Jack is - just a younger version of his Dad 👌
Except Larry is a legend and was an amazing driver.
You see a lot of sons of legend drivers not live up to their fathers legendary skills, unfortunately, Jack is one of those.
Well maybe Jack is not a ""legendary driver"" but he carrys on Larry's passion for race cars, and jack shows he has quality skills in restoration.
@@hornblowrfilms928 yep he is doing a good job with that
Jack seems a top bloke. Thanks for the tour
So Awesome I could listen to those stories for hours..
So good that Jack has the same passion for the cars that Larry does. Was great to see a bit of what they do, cheers!
Loved these vids. Grew up admiring Larry's way of doing things. Holden engines and some real ingenuity 👌
Did a my work experience when you guys where in morrabbin was the best time in my working life great to see some of the old cars
Jacks knowledge of all the cars, engines and their history is incredible. Great series 🤙👍
I would love to see that at goodwood. You could park it next to my Hsv that wilkinshaw imported into the U.K. in 99 26 of 32 gts’s
Larry is a true legend of Australian motorsport. I remember being glued to my tv the year he started Bathurst from last place and ended up winning the race! Still an un-replicated event, the single best driving performance of all time. Even more impressive than Peter Brock breaking the lap record on the last lap and winning the race a lap or more ahead of the field... (Not by much, both were the pinnacle of driving performance in our country)
Loved these 2 videos. The attention to detail is nuts. Would be very satisfying though every time you either find or reproduce a part
It’s great watching jacks shows as well as yours 👍👍
Awesome they are restoring history! Love it
Amazing what these guys achieved on a relatively low budget.
Not many people built and raced their own car absolute genius I’m a Holden fan so Obviously brocky king but larry was a close second.I would love to see Jack in Supercars talented driver like his dad building the car gives you more understanding of how each car preforms hope to see u soon Jack
Great video, love these style of vids
Such a good video. Didn’t know any of this before watching this video. Love to see this type of stuff, all I knew what Holden was a truck of some sorts across the water
The vy Ute was my first car on my ps so it’s my favourite looking Holden but the vs/vr 5l utes are my golden item I was born in 99 for reference 😂🇦🇺
These insights have been great, so much passion and knowledge keeping the dream alive!
Love Jack
Some awesome insights here.
AWESOME STUFF BIG THUMBS UP 👍
Jack - love your work Regards
This video is two years old now, did you ever get to do the classic Adelaide?
Larry has good taste in old gear 👌
