Roadkill

DaveDreads · Dec 23, 2013

After a quick search I can't believe there isn't a thread for Finnigan and Freiberger's antics,
the Roadkill series is by far my favourite thing on Youtube and the latest episode is their best to date.

Djw John · Dec 23, 2013

You mentioned it before, been a subscriber since then, agreed it's very good.

-J- · Dec 23, 2013

I subscribe to their channel, awesome videos, would love to do what they do.

adamjcat · Dec 23, 2013

Been watching these since the beginning, they are a very talented pair of guys. Awesome to watch and I agree the latest episode was a blast to watch. definitely living the dream.

couzens · Dec 23, 2013

I swear you started a thread last year? lol. All very good episodes. Lambo vs Rat Rod is my fav.

DaveDreads · Dec 23, 2013

That was just something random I found, (or so I thought at the time)
i'd never seen them before or knew anything about them or HotRod magazine so posted it as a one off.

I thought it was about time we had an actual Roadkill thread
in the same way there's a Chris Harris thread.

They remind me of really good TopGear specials,
but funnier because it's seems more genuine, plus they know their way round a tool kit.

They've really given me the bug for getting an old shed and making it a Dreads mobile or something.

Djw John · Dec 23, 2013

I always think it's like an American PPC magazine type show

Pistachio · Dec 23, 2013

I've been subbed since the last post on here. Watched them all now and even watched the 3 x 8 hour engine swap live last week. Brilliant stuff

Paul.M · Dec 23, 2013

I've just sat and watched that at work and I enjoyed it, I'll find some of their other stuff to watch aswell I think

-J- · Dec 23, 2013

I always love the fix for overheating cars.

Just remove the bonnet and stick it in the back.

Lal B3N · Dec 23, 2013

That was class! Put some time in at work haha.

DanGill · Dec 23, 2013

Only found this recently aswel, great videos have watched most of them already but they have me wanting more!

Jason_E · Dec 23, 2013

Watched this the other. If I had to sum up why people love cars, this video does it for me. Whole new levels of awesome. Wish we could pick up cheap V8's and run cars like that over here.

DaveDreads · Dec 23, 2013

It does upset me that we can't just patch weld rotten floors with road signs
or bolt some random headlights to the front and hit the road Mad Max style,
the Police would crush your car into a cube and take your licence off you. :dapprove:

That's why the 'Rat' scene is so sh*t in this country,
they're all artificially made to look ratty which is just sad.

It amazes me they're allowed to drive down the freeway with a car they've made out of hopes, dreams, gaffa tape
and not get thrown in jail for being a danger to other road users.

JezzaMac · Dec 23, 2013

My mate showed me this! It's BRILLIANT!!

Pink-182 · Dec 23, 2013

I enjoyed this! Cheers for posting the link.

DaveDreads check out 'Dirt every day' as well, it's like the hill billy off road version of Roadkill

DaveDreads · Dec 23, 2013

I've watched a bit of everything on the Motor Trend Channel,
the Alabama army truck is my favourite on Dirt Every Day so far.

I just watched part 1&2 just starting 3 now... Then I suspect I'll head off to Ebay for some casual window shopping.

Daniel · Dec 23, 2013

That was worth watching just for the noise at the end!

Yet they can't drive an old GTR?

Crazy!

DaveDreads · Dec 25, 2013

couzens · Dec 25, 2013

They've banned the imports of R34 GTR's and below I believe.

DaveDreads · Dec 25, 2013

Ah right, America makes no sense.

welshname · Dec 25, 2013

They can't have s15's iirc

DaveDreads · Dec 25, 2013

They probably got sick of having their big block V8 arses handed to them on the drag strip by 4 pots,
so they banned anything Japanese that can be boosted to over a 1000 bhp.

msremmert · Dec 26, 2013

That was an excellent 40 minutes. Thanks for posting this.

+1 internet.

guysy · Dec 26, 2013

Cheers for the link, watching now seems good.

MrDave · Dec 26, 2013

That sounds f**king beautiful need friends like that in my life

wozzaa · Dec 27, 2013

Love this program, the sailer jerrys rat rod was just epic in my opinion. Also I want that muscle truck!

You wouldn't want a rev happy 4 pot if you were behind it as much as they were to be honest. A big torquey V8 that will burble along barely over idle makes lots of sense when you can be doing 75mph for 6-12 hours as a regular day to day thing. Get similar MPG at that point too. I had a Camaro SS when I was last out there, that thing was averaging nearly 38mpg in the few thousand miles I did. Rather impressive for a 6 litre V8 with an auto box.

TonkaTruck · Dec 27, 2013

Love road kill, best thing on YouTube! Slowly watching all the episodes.

DaveDreads · Jan 25, 2014

Latest episode.

Takes a while to get going but still enjoyable.

If you don't know anything about the Crusher Camero this short vid tells you a bit about it's history.

Paul.M · Jan 25, 2014

This has become my regular watch now when I'm empty at work, I've even got one of the other lads into it.

It's a great little series

tom172cup · Jan 25, 2014

Dam you dave im back at looking at camaros now

DaveDreads · Jan 25, 2014

You'll have to shoe a lot of horses to afford one in this country.

tom172cup · Jan 25, 2014

seen them for 20k after a rebuild just depends what one you want really

DaveDreads · Jan 25, 2014

One like this, although I have a feeling it would cost a lot more than £20k. lol

Skip to 40secs to avoid the massive advert.

DaveDreads · Feb 21, 2014

This months episode, you'll need to set aside the best part of an hour,
but it recaps all of the previous cars and auto tests a few of them against each other.

Djw John · Feb 21, 2014

Gonna watch that when I get home. Think work would wonder where I'd gone just now

Jason_E · Feb 21, 2014

Another great Ep. From the RoadKill boys. Makes me want to own another old shitter!
