Friday March 8th is the release of the most emotional episode of the season... hands down. This is a very personal story, on many levels. First of all the story is Gilles', my father in law, who owned a 1972 Charger Rallye, but sold it in the late 90s. I know he loved that car, he still speaks about it all the time, so I decided to find it and reunite him with it. We were fortunate the owner is a really fantastic person and phenomenal car restorer. Al bought the car and restored it to what it would have looked like when it came out of the factory. But there is so much more to this story.... Here are some behind the scenes screen caps from the episode. Mark your calendars, you don't want to miss this one it's something truly unique.

Have started working on a new documentary we've entitled "Losing it". It's a subject that was the primary focus of my life from 1994-1998 but has long since went away. The more time that goes by the more I start thinking about the old days. This is a personal project I've been thinking about for a while and now that I'm working on it it's really cool to go back so many decades into the past and explore it. It's a pretty unique story turns out and there seems much more to it than meets the eye. Will keep digging and working on it.

01/23/2024

Wanted to announce a new project we will be working on this year. This is something I have started to think about a lot this past year; feels like unfinished business and was a big part of my life that kind of just suddenly disappeared. Hell it's been 25 years since it ended and for the most part I never even thought of until just a couple years ago. It was an era of tight jeans, f***y packs and epic moustaches. Although it feels selfish to even consider doing a project on self re-discovery there is a lot more to this story than I originally thought. I've had too many bizzar events and occurrences draw me to this in the past year and I feel it's time to look into this. Going to be digging into the story of, once upon a time, having a pretty promising career in motorsport. But my story is just the tip of the iceberg as I plan to figure out: who the other players were, how did this era change their lives, what made growing up in the 90s so special/why it'll never happen again, and most importantly why is the universe suddenly drawing me to this so much 25 years after retiring? These are questions I plan to answer. On top of all this one of the biggest struggles I dealt with growing up was the stigma that karting is just a joke and would never be taken seriously. It's my mission to now only answer all the questions above but also to prove what a badass way it was to grow up. No idea where this will lead me but time will tell.

1968 Mustang built with modern technology to be the ultimate street machine! But not the technology youd expect.... you can go to Canadian tire or Autozone and repair your car with parts from there. Really unique build by master car builder Gilles! A Between the Wheels legend for his previous episode of his 1983 Mustang Fox Body!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4WgIdzc6pU

It's a classic story: a sleeping legend resting in a dusty barn somewhere, neglected and sometimes even forgotten. Historic muscle just waiting at a second s...

Some behind the scenes photos (actual photos not digitals) of the tear down process. These were taken back in September of 2023. Lots has been done since them will keep people up-to-date. Incase you missed the video a few weeks back I added the link below:

Past year the balance of work and family has certainly challenged any possibility to shut down and recharge my batteries. Never got around to that break during the holidays I was hoping for. But despite the insane schedule I must say I am incredibly grateful and fulfilled to have experienced all I have in the past year. I feel like I lived an entire lifetime in one single year... Sitting here and editing all the amazing Between the Wheels & Rustorations episodes it's wonderful to re experience all the moments I witnessed and all the people I met. Made more friends in 2023 than in the past couple decades combined. Got to meet some truly inspirational individuals who hopefully will get their time to shine with the creation of their episodes. But the best part is I've got to spend time with my family and really get to form an amazing relationship with my youngest son Daxon. Whenever I am burnt out, tired, and just dragging my ass I think about all the amazing men and women who leave their kids just to provide for their families. I'm incredibly fortunate I don't have to do that I get to see my kids every single day. I've always considered the blue collar working class as my heroes and that's why I love networks like discovery channel. And the vast majority of people we interview are just these people... people who make the world go round. Seems it's always the actors and celebrities getting all the glory but these are the people who in my mind are important. Can't tell you what a privilege it is to be able to share their stories. All of a sudden the endless work, accelerated pace and sleepless nights are well worth it. Wouldn't change a thing in the world happy to have everything I have. Thank you to everybody who takes the time to watch the videos, comment and show us your love. Cannot express how thankful I am for everyone.

Is it fast? Does a bear @ #$! in the woods? You will not be disappointed with Bobby Speed. Hands down the most entertaining and unique episodes we have had the pleasure to film on the show yet. Not only is this episode entertaining but what ends up happening at the end is pretty amazing. Sometimes amazing things happen we are just fortunate to have been there to capture it all on video. Enjoy! Sanair Super Speedway

This is it folks, 2023 was a huge year for filming amazing cars and stories but none were quite like this one... the Legend of Bobby Speed. An episode that almost didn't happen but ended up being the most entertaining and amazing one to come out yet. I'll be honest I love every story we do but this one is my all-time favorite because it's rare something like this comes along. Not only is Bobby a legend but what ends up happening is quite rare. Really fortunate to have been able to capture the events that took place in this episode. Next Fridays January 4th we kick off the new year with Bobby Speed. Trust me you dont want to miss this one!

We have made some big changes on the Subdivision Auto YouTube page when it comes to detail. Seasons 1 was got a complete facelift! This means new thumbnails, details descriptions, tags, end screens and even chapters. My amazing wife Jess took a crazy amount of time to watch every single video and optimize all the videos so people can find them easier and enjoy them. This means you can watch the videos and select the chapters that interests you. A hell of a lot of time and effort went into this and I am so proud of Jess for doing all this hard work. It is our hope we can give the first season another chance at life. If you are a new viewer I highly recommend you go to the channel and check out some of the old episodes! They have great information and stories... At the same time we are optimizing Season 2 and Rustorations to make them more user friendly.

American thanksgiving is over and Canadian was a while back but with the year coming to an end I wanted to share something I am very thankful for. When we were in the peak of the Nova search journey we had experienced so many failures in finding a car (saying no to over 60 cars) that it became harder and harder to get motivated to keep looking. Little did we know a very special person was watching our entire journey and his generosity would result in a happy ending to our search. This is Gerry, he lives in New Brunswick and is a fellow Nova fan. Gerry found his Nova from the same owner we got our car from. Gerry had found two cars over a decade ago, ended up buying one and then finally getting us in contact with the owner after he saw our story. It's been several months since this happened and I cannot tell you how thankful I am for Gerry. He led us to the "perfect" car to save and this project has been a dream come true. I just wanted to give Gerry a big shoutout because it's people like him that make this world go round. Thank you Gerry you are the man!

Quite a privilege and honor to see people care... means a lot to us. Best part about this project we are just getting started!
