    This is not a video about cars, this is a video about life, about a man lucky enough to live his dreams, this is a great content.

    This just made my day! What a legend Mr Macari is and the presentation of his character could not have been better. One of the greatest automotive pieces I have ever seen. I would love to see a documentary or a series covering his car stories and adventures. He is the type of enthusiast that really LOVES the cars for all the proper reasons.

    • @scd

  • @jameslloydcole8783
    @jameslloydcole8783 3 года назад +18

    If I was very wealthy, I wouldn’t buy super cars from the dealership selling the best price, I would buy them from Macari’s, because Joe is simply a legend.

    Was lucky enough to buy an R8 once from his showroom. I asked the salesman who was Joe Macari? He took me over to Joe who was sitting having coffe with an old worn leather bomber jacket. He shook hands asked me why we were here, he said let me show you around, took us into the workshop where there was major restorations going on, I asked him what was his daily drive, it was 200k miles Audi A8 diesel. He said he loved it. All in all a wonderful unassuming guy. Total opposite to the Hartley egomaniacs

    I lived in the town of southfields in Wandsworth for over 30 years, the amount of times I've walked by his showroom and peered in the windows with lust in my eyes for the exotics on display. Back in the day his showroom was just a small shop/garage on Kimber Road, and over the years he has expanded to the automotive candy shop it is now. Its good to see and hear the man behind the name, I hope to meet him one day if I'm blessed with the opportunity to buy a supercar.

  • @colonelcol8595

    Unlike the Amari's, Hartley's etc i didn't notice an ounce of arrogance throughout this whole video. No mention of being the best or the biggest, just a genuinely nice guy with some incredible stock.
    Most people think they have a personality, whilst others just do.
