The way to the art car parade was a pain in the ass for the virtual star of the art car parade. A low-hanging branch over the road had demolished the steering wheel of his creation and made it uncontrollable. Here, however, the special service for my blog readers: scrapDaddy had set his machine in action especially for “your” video. Absolutely amazing what he has invented! He would had been the absolute favorite to win the award. Super sad and tragic for him, who has invested so much working hours, creativity, enthusiasm and passion.

Dear N. Guthier & Family,
We met in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Regarding your translation here:
“Absolutely amazing what he had invented! He would had been the absolute favorit to win the award. Super sad and tragic for him, who had invested so much working hours, creativity, enthusiasm and passion.”
I think it would be better to place your comments in the “present” tense, not the “past”, i.e., “Absolutely amazing what he HAS invented!”
Also, “favorit” is spelled with an “e” in English, “favorite”.
For the ending, I think it is more your intention to put his invention in “the present”, not “the past” tense, i.e., “Super sad and tragic for him, who HAS invested so MANY working hours, creativity, enthusiasm and passion.”
Continued good luck on your travels to Patagonia! I have told many friends about my encounter with you!
Auf Wiedersehen!
