At first, you have to have the urge
Before you buy a car,
And Richard has been known to search
And then to travel far!
To brave the sunshine, rain and snow,
To haggle for a deal,
Then on the trailer cars must go,
And sometimes for a steal!

When Richard gets the team to start,
They cut away the rust,
They carve away, down to the heart,
That really is a must!
New wheels, new seats, new colours, too,
With deadlines firmly set,
Until the team can then review
The masterpiece they get!

And only with the magic done,
That car gets put on show,
Because at last, with battles won,
Once sold, that car must go!
The buyer haggles, Richard frowns,
And compromise then guides,
And yet despite such ups and downs,
Sometimes a coin decides!

The paperwork gets done as well,
The transfer stands complete,
Gas Monkeys helped the car to sell
And made it look so sweet!
The Interweb gets searched again,
For that next car to buy,
And Richard just can't wait till then!
Buy low and then sell HIGH!


Denis Martindale. September 2021.


The poem is about the US TV series called Fast N' Loud
and this involves car buying and selling, and then the
Gas Monkeys crew and their teamwork efforts to help
restore classic cars and trucks to their former glory...
and beyond! We get the buying and selling details and
the amazing journey in-between. So buckle up, fellas,
as it's going to be a bumpy ride, Gas Monkeys style!
