"I decided to do what no other RUclipsr has done... drive it." *brutality*
Tavarish rebuilding his McLaren and blowing it up shortly afterwards doesn’t count?
@@Tempsho Let's be real, Tavarish has likely put half as many miles total on multiple of his projects as Rich did in one rally.
@@rustler08 At least he drove it to its limits! (Which wasn't very much apparently) Don't forget about his little off-roading venture during the filming of CarTrek
Dde
@@george11694DDE doesn’t rebuild cars
Congratulations rich, this is why everyone watches you you complete your projects. Samcrack doesn’t
or as Hoovie does with his mechanic on speed dial.....
Is Sam still alive? I havent gotten notification in 6 mos
@@jpslaym0936 he just released a new video. i have issues with rich's channel sending me notifications.
@@jpslaym0936 he just fixed something.
Rich hasn’t completed a single project in an entire year since Stevon has been displaced
Rich has even got the Montana plate for it. One of the big boys now.
The cat is somewhere downstream, or upstream or somewhere in there
They closed the loophole where you can just print a VT temporary tag without any documentation.
As a Black man who has owned a McLaren for 3 years now and counting and actually drives it (sometimes over 700 miles in a day), I support this video. (As a fan from the beginning of this channel, I support all his videos. I was here even though I didn't even like Teslas.)
Hello @SkittlesGarage . . . What is the most complicated repair or service that your McLaren 570GT has required? Any unexpected issues in the past few years. (I am watching your videos now! Thanks for sharing the content on your channel!)
Maybe you'd be interested in Roadster 2.0? I sincerely hope they finally build it... and honor Rich's referral credits!
@@quallzone6219 No major problems. No problems really at all. I just hit 20K miles on Thursday. The most expensive bill I’ve had was the 15K mile service. It was like 800 bucks.
Pebble Beach, Rich......for people from the Caucuses Mountain region, being invited to Pebble Beach is the pinnacle. The Everest. The Olympics of acceptance.
You can do it. We have faith in ya.
Always thought it was the fuckin’ Catalina Wine Mixer
But why? Why would anyone want to be part of that club? Do not tap on the metaphorical glass surrounding the trophy wives.
Really? I went to Carmel Highschool and we used to sneak into Pebble Beach to smoke.
Looks like the kids will have to go scavenge some dinner tonight. Dads busy.
Ever heard of Zelle? He can just send them money and they can go buy what they want lol.
When my kids ask what's for dinner I like to say "whoever is slowest."
Leenda’s in town
Hot dogs and ramen noodles
Kids can cash in those catalytic converters for their allowance and go to MickieD! 🤣
Oh Uncle Rich, as always your race commentary is ON POINT.
Seriously. I love his mildly tiptoeing candor. Humans are a mess.
“One of the good ones or one of the bad ones.” 😂 I know the feeling oh so well, Happened to me today
Discrimination aside, you have to ask yourself why someone who looks like that has a certain reputation. Being a victim only takes you so far, actions are far stronger.
@aldozilli1293 No one's being a victim, the only victim here is you.
I asked myself and WOW, who knew my skin could think, talk and make decisions on its own. Thanks random internet guy.
@@aldozilli1293 get help
lol I think “we” all kno the feeling
I am thinking you are some sort of a savant. Seriously, who else can rebuild a McLaren and make it into a beast and do it all in Crocs.
Lol he bought a trashed McLaren guarded by leery-eyed people with tactical shotguns, fixed it up, and now he can troll the Caucasus big leagues. Legend!
LSC Alex replaced the clock spring connection in his McLaren and the car threw a CAN bus tantrum. Hopefully Rich will fare better in the long term.
Congrats, Richie, on a fantastic job. There cant be more than 200 people on the planet who could do what you have done, rebuilding a wrecked McClaren PROPERLY.
As a bald black guy who lives in MA, drives nice cars and gets mistaken for you all the time…. I know exactly what you mean 😂
So there is two of yall?!?
@@nathansmith1085yep, only two black guys in MA
@@nathansmith1085yup I live in Ma too and I only know of Rich and this guy
Lol that's awesome. We need more people like Rich to break people's minds by catastrophically defying stereotypes.
I'm a bald black guy with a goatee that drives an Evo in Connecticut and I always get mistaken Rich....... could also be because my name is Rich as well😅
Rich kicked butt on this car, and wasn't shy about dogging McLaren about their engineering choices. Keep up the good work, and I hope ICE T returns to the channel soon.
refreshing to see a good ole old school rich rebuilds video. Now all we need is a rich rebuilds rant video for old times sake
I’ve been begggging for another rant for years haha 😭
@@timmieturntableturner17 What about the one he did on Tavarish's McLaren build?
I always imagined a supercar garage would be like some sort of NASA cleanroom scenario.... NAW, rattle can of Rustolium, Harbor Freight tools, cold garage. F-it.
LOVE IT! MUCH respect to you, your work, and your upcoming book!
youtubers not driving the supercars they rebuild is so annoying. I feel you Rich
I'm most amazed that the two windshield guys lowered the windshield down in complete unison without saying a single word to each other.
That’s true love.
I like the new "one cell catalytic converter" technology❤
he felt he was slick with that lmao
😂😂😂😂😂
You are right!!!!! There is no catt!!
Shame on him for lying!
All these invisible Catalytic Converters LMAO
LMAO glad I'm not the only one who noticed!
Not it's just your eyes can't see more than 30 fps, they are definitely there.
Shameless!! He is lying to his subscribers!! Nice
Congratulations Rich, looking good looking *gooooooooooooooood*
A lot of other youtubers would have milked rebuilding this 720 for as much as possible with multiple multiple multiple videos as a series with lots of ads, but you didn't.
Nice job, you did a great job in the garage where it all started with your model s many many many years ago 💪🏾👍🏾👏🏾
That's too many manys, the guy aint 86 years old.
@@JeffKopis😅😅😅
The reason for the headlight assembly being that way is probably due to complexity of the molds. By splitting into multiple parts they can just make cheaper less complicated molds
Just a thought
Yea manufacturing costs for sure. I could have done it in two parts and saved them some u-nuts tho.
And they can potentially reuse some parts of the molds between vehicles.... Maybe...
Or it's a cheap lazy design
Allows them to make simpler, cheaper molds. But then still charge you the super complex, expensive pricing!
Rich, I will watch dozens more 720 builds, as long as it’s not a whole production. I want to see it built in someone’s backyard. Not a shop with a frame machine and a dozen lifts. That’s why Armstrong is doing so well right now. He is not an amateur by any means but he is working with his dad in his shop and being down to earth.
Matt's video production is next level also.
Matt also edits his own videos to my knowledge. Shocking considering he’s consistently trending and so famous here. What a legend
I've been a subscriber to this channel for years, and I can confirm that Rich is one of the good ones.
Probably...
Well he must be, right?
I dunno...
Rich, I just want to say I'm proud of you man. Keep up all the great work!
As a rich white, thanks for stopping by and observing our culture.
(I'm not rich, I drive a Toyota)
'98 Camry here lol 😂
You drive a Lexus....
LFA?
real ones saw most of this video already but watch it anyway to support papa rich 😎
here here !! 🍻
Welcome back Stevon!
Was he recording?
He ha me rolling with the “Well Well Well”. Commentary always on point
I am very disappointed because there is no butter knives in sight!
Imagine how much a Mc Laren butter knife tool would cost.
And no stroopwafels 😢
With a passenger princess filming I’m sure it was a fun rally
Enjoying the finished product is always good!!! The McLaren 720s has aged well and is truly an amazing supercar!!!
Come for the cars. Stay for the banter.
just unsubscribed, channel was better with stevevon
@maxrx7 BYE 👋🏼. Guarantee you won’t be missed . Go cry some more.
@maxrx7 👋🏼 . Guaranteed you won’t be missed.
Don’t delete my comment softie.
@@4npushap352 I would never Marvin. Your comment is here to stay like your covid infection
Most people buy puzzles or legos to put together, very few buy totaled sophisticated pieces of engineering to put together 😂
Honestly, when you bought this, I thought it must be a gag, because it'd be too expensive tor repair, and you made it work. Very impressed and pleasantly surprised.
Love your sense of humor. I love the beginning scene montage, this was even better.
I love it when my favourite youtubers work together, watching all the way from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
As a resident of the Caucasus hill country, it is good to hear a solid report from up in the mountain region. Glad all is well up there. Congrats on the build! It's sweet!
This guy kicks ass
Man, Rich, your segue game is OP and completely blindsided me, and now I need sunglasses because I cannot see anymore.
Rich, you know you should have been a comedian, I'd go see you :)
I agree, he’s funnier than Dane Cook and that guy made money doing it.
Agreed
Great to see you enjoying the results of your hard work and talent.
Congrats on getting the ride finished Rich! It looks great!
Glad to see you back Rich. It feels like one of the only other content creator that gives a rebuilt vehicle a proper shakedown and drives it logically is M539 Restorations
Congrats and I’m Relieved your actually a guy who drives his car , that’s fantastic uncle Rich , I think you need to move closer to Freddy if you want to blend in more 😉🤣
Awesome stuff, glad you found something you like and hope you can continue to enjoy it for quite some time.
love the rich rebuilds comedy show
the proportions of it are fantastic, its such a jet fighter on the road, and thanks for taking us along for atleast parts of the ride to getting it road ready, what an effort.
That was an awesome video! Rich so happy for you.. The knowledge you have and the transformations you bring forth on all your projects is amazing! May life keep blessing you and your family !
Nice @richrebuilds. Thanks for guiding us on how McClaren can be difficult to own due to high maintenance.
Yeah I’m DEFINITELY NOT buying one after seeing this video! Rich is taking one for the team!
Correction Sir, Louisiana has the worst roads in 'Merica. 🤣
Michigan has the second worst roads. But our road tax is way higher than Louisiana's.
I saw the largest pot holes I've ever seen in my life when I visited New Orleans. I thought it was bad in upstate NY.
I love the music you played when you started removing the exhaust, I always start grooving away dancing. First heard it on one of your earlier video and I now call it 'Rich rebuilds' whenever I here it 😅.
Love you work brother 🕺🏿🙏🏿
Rich you are a master by being able to intrigue your audience with a few zingers, just to keep them watching your videos. Love it!
Congratulations Rich!!❤ thank you for all of the transparency and honesty…!💪🏼
You’re a true man’s man!
🤣🤣😍🔥🔥🔥❤️🙏🏻🚀
Loved the comment about red arrows. I honestly hate them when I see them on YT thumbnails.
It feels good to see you out there enjoying the fruits of your labor. Congratulations on completing your build!
Nice work 😎!! And it’s awesome your using it 👍
Glad to see you enjoying the car
STEVON!!!
For real
We miss him
I’m from the Caucusus and I’m here to help. Great video, great dry humor. V Tuned, a YT, bought a crushed 720, and rebuilt it. He had it completely apart-replaced the tub too. So doing it yourself may keep you out of the dealer service bay. Downside is you won’t meet all the other McLaren owners who see each other there.😊
Congratulations Rich for the 720S. 🎉
Hell yeah Rich! Way to go
13:15 the cat very lightweight you can't even see them 😂
Cool that you got to go out and hit the open road in one of your builds. I can only imagine how satisfying that must have been. Wish I would have seen the Rally when it passed through my neck of the woods.
Hell yeah glad to see it! Enjoy it!
I only come to this channel for the electric C4 content
Clear Rear Quarters? Maybe you could start a new trend!
bien hecho Tio Ricardo !!! armo esa cosa sin tanto drama !!!! saludos desde El Salvador !!!
it looks amazing, congrats enjoy it
So what is insurance gonna be on a salvage title McLaren
The General, obviously.
Shaq has him covered.
Rich stole his own catalytic converter! 🤣
Congrats on the beautiful build man.
Gold as always! Glad to see you’re happy with it
So it's slightly better than my 99 Jeep Cherokee. At 70 mph it feels like you're doing 200.
That's the great thing about shitty old cars; the danger, fear, and thrill of speed, without speeding.
@@JeffKopis 1996 Toyota t100, I am perfectly fine doing 65 mph thank you very much
LMAO that intro!
You are the best, entertaining, funny and knowledgeable all in the same package!
Outstanding and awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Now time to have Leenda wash it!😊
😂😂😂
How do I feel like I've seen this before?
Excellent build up compilation; unlike others that have incessant “manic giggles” ( looking at you Matt Armstrong), you are serious, informative and measured. I love my own 570 Spider and so it’s a pleasure to see “ underneath” the body panels and see the skeleton 👏👏👏🏻👏👏🏻👏👏
Hey Rich, fun video to watch! Congrats on a beautiful car, love that gorgeous Ti exhaust. Looking forward to more videos!
Wheres Stephen. No video explaining why or nothing.
Lol...ya remember when we thought rich was just a funny dude? Yea...dude is actually just a huge POS...why do you think none of the people he brings onto the channel want to stick around?
Probably legal stuff. Channel ain't the same without him but rich is still a beaut
He wrecked his car and is on house arrest
@@first_last01 oh really I didn't know that......I remember that cobra crash tho
No loss, his editing and flute ruined the channel. Been much better viewing without.
Where is stevon? I miss him so much!
They're not friends anymore after the crash. I bet. I asked Stevon the same about Rich and nothing. So...I take that as they're not on best terms anymore. Probably.😅
@@cocoabiscuits Where's Stevon these days? Anywhere on youtube?
I think they are fine. Stevon is in house arrest and has RUclips channel. No one knows the details but after the crash there were a lot of legal issues. I am sure Stevon not being on the channel has to do with that. US legal system is not easy to deal with and I am sure they wanted to make an example out of them since they are popular channel
@@mcmarley91 very well could be. My mind went to "who's to blame" and if the legal system got into that bag I can only imagine that tarnishing the friendship as well. Accountability in that scenario? who's to blame but who's race car was it? Does Rich pay the medical expenses and does Stevon think he should? All these scenarios and if it really is big as house arrest for that I can only imagine there may be tension in the friendship but again I know nothing just speculating. Steven gets house arrest and Rich keeps on getting exposure and can live normally in society. I might feel a type of way.
@@mcmarley91really sad to heard that...I hope someday they'll be together again.
I watched this entire video for no reason, didn’t understand half the shit going on, but this guy makes it so entertaining.
Great video Rich. Got to see the whole build in one video. Funny stuff as usual. You have quite the way with words.
How many people have gone with Tavarish to get cars from the port of Miami? He must be the nicest, most chill dude on car youtube. Always seems like he's helping someone out just because he can.
Where is stevon, we need an update
He has his own you tube channel, he's gotta ankle monitor on.. nobody knows why .
@@hallcrash whats the name of the channel
@@anthonyharriott9406box eclectic - as one word
@@hallcrashprobably because he raced and wrecked an illegal race car?
@@hallcrash Looks like he's got an ankle monitor because of house arrest for wrecking a race car on a public street.
Congrats Rich. Sweet car!
Boom let's go!!!! 30 seconds to go! Go on rich mate well done!
Leenda = LIKE !!!!
Yeah, the T&A is strong with this one.
Silly Rich... you're supposed to bolt on a supercharger with 35 pounds of boost and blow up the motor on the first test drive! Haven't you ever seen a Cleetus McFarland or Tavarish video? You're not following the rules of RUclips supercar videos!
Amazing detailed work Rich from OZ
Congrats on your hard work - looks amazing - I have a Jag XKR-S and like McLaren they are a bit of a mishmash in terms of how they are put together but once everything is working and you drive them all is forgotten
You fired a lot of shots at Tavarish there. Well deserved, next time include jokes about exotic cars and sleeping with friends fiancés and giving them Yugo’s to make up for it since Jared is too chicken to call him out for it
Ha is that right? .What Tarvarish stuck a length in Aging wheels misso.
@@MrRhino10 it’s who Tavarish is having a long term affair with. No records of Tavarish actually getting a divorce, so hes just a scumbag sleeping with another woman and walking out on his wife and daughter, never mind all the other stuff…
Tavarish cries in chat
Whoop!!! So great meeting you and hanging on SR. Great job on the rebuild.
Mannn I told you about the rallies at SEMA lol, I’ve been doing them since the early 2000’s starting with bull run… from Corsa to goldrush rallies are beyond dope, the friendships created and networking can be worth the price alone. I do about 2-3 per year and you are correct, you beat the hell out of your car and it can be murder on your body. That’s why I love using my RS7 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 salute!
This video gives me hope that the humor is coming back to this channel
His humor never left, it's always been DRY. 😉
Where is Steve-On?
Nice work Rich! Entertaining as always
Great video, thanks for sharing. 👍
My response to the Title... is Matt Armstrong's 720 is a Joke to you?
I can think of a few more that were never finished.
Freddie finished his twice 😂😂
