Let's all take a moment to appreciate Hoovie sacrificing his wallet to buy what we all wish we could, and then reminding us why we actually don't 😂 But seriously these V12 S600 models are iconic and I hope you get it all sorted out!

Bobs a genius he sold it to hoovie knowing he’ll fix everything or most everything wrong with it then EVENTUALLY he’ll stop driving it whether it’s a few months or a few years and boom he’ll sell it back to bob because this is also one of his dream cars to own except hoovie will sell it to him mostly fixed……GENIUS
-
This might be my favorite car he has right now. Just screams cool. I hope he fixes it up proper and gives it a thorough detail.
-
I LOVE the idea of getting the BMW and Toyota V12s together with the Jag and MB V12s. This would be SO COOL!

A quick tip on your key fob and dangling wires under the car (I guess this harness is used to bypass an immobilizer). After removing the key housing you will find an IR diode at the top of the circuit board. Those diodes usually have problems with cold solder joints, everything you have to do is to re-solder them. After that your remote door control and immobilizer should work fine without any bypassing.

This car deserves to be saved. It’s my favorite sedan of all time.
-
Gotta love the relationship between these two. My favourite in the whole automotive YouTuber scene
-
After being detailed by your absolutely amazing detail company/friend… you will have probably one of the finest S600s in America. I say… money well spent. Good luck! Thanks for the video.
-
I'm happy that the sound issues with Wizard not having a mic have been largely fixed. Thanks Tyler.

7:10 Wizard definitely trusts Hoovie. First thing they taught us in auto shop: never stand in front of a vehicle with someone behind the wheel. Specially with the hood up. Before anyone balks I will cite the story about the apprentice who ran over a mech because he didn't know how to drive a stick and killed him.
-
When these two are together it’s the best acting I love it makes it just enough like a reality show when hoovie shows up at wizards
-
You got to love their dedication to making this video one long joke about balls 😂
-
This is an educational channel. As soon as I get the urge to buy a used exotic and fix it up, you remind me why it's better to buy a sorted model. Thanks for this public service announcement.

I have a 94' s500... I love these cars.. out of the 10 or so cars I've owned, this is my favorite by far! Not fun to maintain... but worth it! I have the one Doug Demuro reviewed a while back and it wasnt in great shape then but ive since been slowly restoring it! Love the videos, hoovie.. always exciting to see (almost) my car getting popular!
-
One of the many things that keeps me coming back to Hoovie is the relationship between him and The Wizard. It is genuine and fun! I wish I could bring my 2000 S Type Jaguar to Omega for a once over, a little far to drive from Vancouver BC! 😊
-
Some of the satisfaction I get is watching Hoovie doing the actual repairs needed on these cars to get them up and running. Nothing like watching the Wizard fix a car and you see the end result of just doing repairs the right way.
-
Fully sorted 20 grand all in, that's a hell of a car for money, thanks for it hoovie 👍😁
-
Hoovie, while I can understand your pain I know you understand how many of your fans would kill to be able to buy all these fantastic old cars and bring them back to their former glory and enjoy driving them for a few months before selling them. You are living the dream sir thanks for letting us enjoy all this through you 👍plz keep finding these gems ♥️

When Tyler drove the Jag I knew he would be impressed (having never driven on before) because I have always said "nothing drives like a Jag sedan" from the 80's, 90's and early 2000. They drive beautifully....but can be a maintenance headache. My general rule has always been: do the repair....do it right....and enjoy the result. Short-cuts often lead somewhere you don't want to go. The most difficult part of owning a Jag is.......finding a good mechanic that you can trust.

It's so nice to see someone act out the crazy things I thought about as I look at used car sites (buying a S600 Mercedes, an old SL convertible). Thanks Hoovie and Wizard for your great entertainment! and taking one for the team! Need to get Wizard a soft desk pad.
