  What I find interesting is Rob knows how valuable each team member is. He could easily say &quot;they are this good because of MY process and procedure&quot; but he doesn&apos;t. He proudly says &quot;They are true craftsman&apos;s and they are always improving.&quot; 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.

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

  Singer is a shining light for American automotive production. They are truly on another level.

  I have been fortunate in being able to drive two examples of Singer “hot rods” 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 “feel” 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 driver’s engagement experience. Aside from the physical vehicle, it’s 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. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

  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. &nbsp;I cannot imagine a more magical company than Singer. &nbsp;I only wish I would have ordered one back when they were &quot;affordable!&quot; &nbsp;Great video, Ollie!

  My 3 year old daughter and I were watching this video and I asked her if she liked the cars she was seeing. She said yes. I asked if one day she’ll bring papa on a ride in one of these cars. She said yes. Then she asked “papa, is this Santa’s workshop?”

  What impresses me the most is all of the spectacular colors they have. &nbsp;That red, almost fire engine, and that blue at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MSyHu9bMPo&amp;t=337">5:37</a>... wow that’s gorgeous. &nbsp;Kudos to Singer for their absolute dedication to keeping these older Porsche’s on the road. &nbsp;The cool part is the future buyers don’t care what the price is, there no haggling when you go the point where you’re weaving leather seats.

  Both cars and the factory are a work of art!

  I truly believe they make the best looking new/ retro cars. I would be afraid to drive those. Works of art.

  The sheer amount of beautiful Porsche&apos;s is just stunning. I&apos;m absolutely gobsmacked. This is Porsche 911 heaven. I have a uncle in Santa Barbra California with a 70&apos;s 911 targa. I got to ride in it back in the 80&apos;s. It&apos;s so great to see the customers ordering cars in bold beautiful colors. There&apos;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&apos;ve seen a few videos of the Singer workshop over the years, but this is the first time I&apos;ve seen this new factory. This kind of reminds me of RUF. Only RUF has there own chassis and components. Thank you.
