Top Comments of this video!! :3
What I find interesting is Rob knows how valuable each team member is. He could easily say "they are this good because of MY process and procedure" but he doesn't. He proudly says "They are true craftsman's and they are always improving." Rob built a roster of truly passionate Porsche builders. He is able to do all that because he lets the employees do what they are good at.

I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Rob Dickinson several years back, in Colorado Springs. Rob is as genuine and friendly as his cars are magnificent. It is apparent Mr. Fawaz is also living his dream. I cannot imagine a more magical company than Singer. I only wish I would have ordered one back when they were "affordable!" Great video, Ollie!

What impresses me the most is all of the spectacular colors they have. That red, almost fire engine, and that blue at 5:37... wow thatās gorgeous. Kudos to Singer for their absolute dedication to keeping these older Porscheās on the road. The cool part is the future buyers donāt care what the price is, there no haggling when you go the point where youāre weaving leather seats.

The sheer amount of beautiful Porsche's is just stunning. I'm absolutely gobsmacked. This is Porsche 911 heaven. I have a uncle in Santa Barbra California with a 70's 911 targa. I got to ride in it back in the 80's. It's so great to see the customers ordering cars in bold beautiful colors. There's way too many black, white and gray/silver cars out these days. I hope to be able to get a Singer targa some day. I was hoping to see Rob Dickenson the founder of Singer being interviewed. I've seen a few videos of the Singer workshop over the years, but this is the first time I've seen this new factory. This kind of reminds me of RUF. Only RUF has there own chassis and components. Thank you.

I remember years ago - prior even to the Harris/Singer video - seeing a video of Mazen driving his young son around in a 911. The young boy counts down from 3, if I recall; Mazen takes off; kid giggles (adorably) at the experience. It was the first time I ever wanted a 911 for the explicit purpose of sharing the experience with my children. Fantastic video here. Could not be more happy for the Singer guys.

3:50 "Bushings, bearings, fasteners..." PRECISELY timed with three hammer strokes (or staple gun, something like that) in the background. Exactly synchronized! Anyone catch that? Have to say though, I'm impressed with Mazen Fawaz. He's clearly intelligent, very knowledgeable and refreshingly direct and honest as he gave the tour. I'm also impressed with the straight to the point approach by the presenter and by Top Gear. No fluff, packed with information, great editing, enthusiastic presenter. Well done!

TopGear is one of the best channels. Ollie is brilliant and a dab hand behind the wheel! I've been a huge fan of SInger and what they've achieved. I've even got their moto written on my whiteboard in the office for the guys to remember "Everything is important". Yet I really didn't want to see behind the doors of this extraordinary success story (order book full for 5-years? Come on).
I loved the magical mystery of where these cars come from. I could picture artisans chiselling away in underground bunkers in top secrecy producing these unique pieces of art.

I have been fortunate in being able to drive two examples of Singer āhot rodsā and it is literally difficult to verbally pass along how perfect the driver engagement experience feels as opposed to a purely original Porsche 964/911. Actually, as opposed to any other major car manufacturer, not just Porsche, including the more focused low production quantity products. I was captivated by the level of precision and obviously thoughtful effort that was presented in the effort to elevate the āfeelā of quite literally every detail the driver would be engaged with. That goes for those items one would touch and see while operating the car or even sitting still. But what was surprisingly unique was just how specifically intentional the car communicates through the seat, pedals, and steering wheel. For anyone that is a true lover of the drive experience (very different from say, the comfort experience), I have honestly never experienced another vehicle that seems to have taken every detail, down to the minutia, to this extraordinary level of intention to all the senses of the driverās engagement experience. Aside from the physical vehicle, itās actually quite fun just to imagine the effort and interaction that was obviously involved to bring a car like this to life. The whole concept of Singers intention along with these final products are just the absolute definition of cool. šš»ššš»

It's so weird, I remember Chris Harris visiting Singer 9 years ago when they had a small "garage-like" shop and a tiny office. Amazing progress in a decade!
