Roger Barr from Chasing Classic Cars is in need
 
I enjoy the show only for the old curmudgeonly octogenarian master mechanic.

It seems he was injured on the job at F40 garage (the garage in Chasing Classic Cars) and is laid up with a severe infection.

There's a gofundme page for anyone interested in assisting:

Here's Roger's facebook page that has some of the information:

Isn't Wayne Carini incredibly wealthy? I would think he could pick up the medical bills.

I heard a story once that Wayne got a cut on his face filming the show on location somewhere and he flew in a plastic surgeon. Shame he can't help his employee out who is a big part of his show.

I would think that since he was injured on the job that F40 would have to pay his medical bills.

There’s something about Wayne that rubs me the wrong way.....

Wow, this speaks volumes about Wayne Carini.

I have learned there is always 2 sides to the story... But you can't help but wonder why he (Wayne) wouldn't reach out to at least help out a little from the friend (life long friend) standpoint.

As stated, there's always 3 sides to every story: his, hers (in this case, the other he), and the truth that's somewhere in the middle.
Hopefully, WC has helped with the medical bills and this fund is primarily for helping with household expenses and such.

Is it that he comes off as very arrogant?

Yep, you can say that :D The guy seems like the ultimate weasel.

I'm sure Wayne will take care of this. I read somewhere his net worth is in excess of $20m.

I get why some people think he may be arrogant or something else but I have concluded that he probably doesn't really like being in the limelight and therefore appears standoffish at times. I am from CT and although I have never met him, many of my friends have and came away with a favorable impression. I have exchanged very nice emails with him several times. He was helpful and responsive.

Don't particularly like Carini but do like C.C.C.It's a "real" car show.No false drama or stupidity.

I've met him and most of you are correct in your assessment of the man.

I've met Roger too and spoken with him on a couple of occasions, he's the real deal!

The way they are raising the money is smart. The go fund me will capitalize on the following that CCC has. Betcha the guy does very well money wise.

Tommy 07-28-2018 07:21 AM

both of your posts are useless and inappropriate.

Tommy, I removed the inappropriate posts made by Burd.
