It's always good to have a little bit of STRAYA in the shop! Keeps us up to par on our burnouts!
-
Something about Jack stand being the responsible one about the nitrous application to thunder is hilarious
-
That’s was friggen sick! As an Aussie, seeing you run the dyno from a string in the back then blow the tyres off it with rubber up the sides on a commo Ute is the most Australian thing you could have done!! Haha I’ve been waiting months watching that thing sit in the back of your shed and now we have seen it alive I’m stoked!!

It warms the heart to see a bit of Australia at the Freedom Factory. Now I'm sure you guys have thought of this already, but I'll say it anyway, I don't think spares for that steering rack should be too hard to get in the US. It's a GM product for one, and GM did sell Holden Commodore based cars in the US for a little while. So I figure there's have to be something close kicking around up there. Also, I am beyind impressed at how Sam didn't flinch or anything when that exhaust was popping off. Nerves of steel. I'd have shat myself.

4:30: Cleet: "You got the right firing order in this thing?" George: "Who cares I like that one!" 😂😂
-
Everybody needs a friend like Jackstand, someone always there to help when its needed, and also to assist in facilitating questionable life choices without asking a single question about anything.
-
As an Australian, I recommend calling it the "Drop Bear". Good to see an Ozzy ute showing whos still burnout kings!!
-
The string throttle cable with Cleet standing in the ute bed, literally holding the reigns of 500 horses of the thunder coach. The sheer fun of thrashing this holden commodore ute was captured in this video. It needs a fullboost LSTHEWORLD sticker on it too.
-
3:59 Sam didnt even flinch on that backfire! Thats some serious focus!! XD
-
The wrap for thunder would be hilarious upside down 😂!
-
I about died from laughter when George just turned on the “Aussie” on the second pass. This is by far my favorite channel of any kind of streaming that I watch. It just keeps getting better and better.
-
I love when they are doing first start ups you can always find Sam buffing away on the car somewhere 😂
-
Man, I cannot stress just how much Jackstand and George have added to this channel... You are blessed to have such a great crew thanks for the entertainment

23:32 - the soundtrack of industrial estates across Australia at 2am on a Friday or Saturday night.
-
The "Thunder From Down Under". That thing is a beast!!
-
Cleet rolling up to the water box doin the blower surge had me HOWLING!😂😂😂
-
Nate with the head drop when George asks "You're doing it in kilometers, right?" I love these idiots.
-
When Cleeter pulled up and said "can you get me a nitrous bottle?" I guarantee Jackstand heard the angels sing. What a proud-dad moment 🤣🤣
-
I'm an Aussie and this is so good 😂 I love watching Americans figure out the aussie way should've put a 3.8L twin turbo Buick motor

Ok, Cleetus, I know you like to live on the edge, but straping the bottle and not saying: " that ain't going anywhere", is pretty dangerous stuff right there.
