Default 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.

Read here:

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.

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?
