Hey, let’s have more of the Love Weasel on the ‘cast…he’s surprisingly coherent.
I see a mini bike special in the future
Great show, love the videos. You guys should deffinately do some more shows w/ the Fooseman.
Great podcast, enjoyed hearing Donnie and the minibike portion.
It says something about an interview with Chip Foose on here and i’m pretty sure you guys were at his shop but we never heard anything he had to say…oh yeah, maybe its because you guys were too busy trying to make funnies and argue with Donny. Love the Carcast but try to let the people your talking to get a whole sentence in before you start cracking wise.
On the positive, I really liked the Schwinn talk (I’ve got a restored ’67 for my wife and a ’73 for myself and they are great fun to ride), and the comment to the contractor about the bottom plates of the wall needing some allthread or j-bolts was f-ing hilarious…I almost lost it listening at work
I was wondering when Donny would finally make an appearance.
Why are the videos so short?? It seems like this would have been a great one to show the whole show in video……
What’s missing? Most of the show is in the video, a few minutes are chopped for editing. The only segment missing video is Donny’s Mini Bike segment and that is coming as soon as he gets back into town so You got pretty much it all.

Another great one guys! I feel like the chemistry between Adam and Ganz is really gelling now and seemed to shine in this episode especially(the tech tip segment was great too). I found myself cracking up a lot more than usual. Looking forward to the next one.

Download speed is hell in Afghanistan, but worth the wait. Great show.
that Foose guy has great taste. That ’69 Camaro is the best of that model. My favorite and I’m old enough to remember when they were new. Great show guys. Probably your best yet.
Donny, wow, did not know much about mini-bike history before this, but was always a fan. I grew up in the 80s in SGV and we would build mini-bikes from swap meet finds and parts we would “steal” from our dad’s edgers. I never knew the heart of mini-bike was in my backyard of Alhambra. I am looking forward to more of the Weeze’s bikes!
Adam Adam please please html 5 support! Imbed your videos so they support apple products man! My iPad won’t play the videos , you do a podcast but no iPad or iPhone (iPod touch) support for your videos! Get it together bra!!!!!!!!!!! Your killing me here!
I’ll send these request right to Ace for some technical consideration… Well maybe not, but since you are on a platform that doesn’t support industry standard flash (Thank Mr. Jobs for having a bug up his butt with Adobe) we will shortly have HTLM 5 embeds available, video on the Motorator has been updated for better streaming and I have seen the HTML 5 working already so it’s just around the corner.
You CAN view most of the videos now on YouTube (search for adamcarollascarcast and subscribe to the channel).
Hang in a bit, we are getting it going!

Great show guys, I have to say I was suprised to see Chips workshop looking a little disorganised and messy. I would have thought, having seen Boyd’s workshops where they are surgical clean, and Chip being as focused and detail obsessive that he is, that the workshop wasnt like a dust free sugical space. Kinda makes me like him even more, looked like a real nest of wonders. Good job guys.
Does Donny get laid a lot with that haircut and those ‘chops?
Seriously though, this was a great show. If you guys manage to find out the exact dates of the parking lot sale and post them, I’d be grateful. Would love to swing by and pick up some tools myself.
I busted out laughing when Chip was explaining the story behind the Bronco and right as he says “never got around to finishing it” before you guys cut to inside the building, Adam and Sandy’s heads both in perfect synchronization go left as if they’re both about to lay into Donny. Hahhahahahahah! Awesome.
Chip is awesome, and really fun to chat with, and we we saw the Bronco it was really funny as Chip and Donny both have similar interest in the Mini-bikes, Schwinn, and cars areas.
I don’t know when the big sale is, I’ll see if I can get that from Chip and post it.
Sandy
Prof…
Any news on the “parking lot” sale over at Foose?? If you find out, posting it would be much appreciated.
Keep up the GREAT work guys!!
The word from Chip is that the date is not firmed up yet, but looking like March for the Garage Sale. As it gets closer I’ll see if I can find out more. Also keep an eye on Chips website they should also have something I would expect.
Sandy
Adam…WHY ARN’T YOU ON TOPGEAR USA?!?! That poor show needs some talent. :/
Please fix your video media. Doesn’t download fast enough to view properly (on cable no less).
Hit this link for the HD versions on youtube. Motorator is being updated as we speak so that may be some of the slowness issues.
