I give him credit for what he's achieved, though he came from a pretty good background which no doubt helped. I just can't stand the content though. The model of "just buy another supercar" holds no interest to me whatsoever.
Don't like his content at all, but he is apparently one of the hardest grafters in car YouTube world, and he's certainly done some fun stuff off the back of it, so I guess you have to give him that. I'd rather pull my eyes out with a pair of barbeque tongs that watch his videos though.
Can't stand him. There's something about him that drives me up the wall. He features some good cars, but some real dogs as well. I saw one a while ago with an engine swap and the mounts looked dangerous as anything.
I think they've discontinued that type of Patrol now. It's not on the Nissan Saudi website anyway. You can still buy a 70-Series Land Cruiser here alongside the latest models. They only took the FJ Cruiser off the market fairly recently too. I think that was available in a lot of places too.
Autoalex is shite, and most of the content his minions are putting out feels pretty much copy-and-paste. It's just endless repeats of "we bought the cheapest XYZ", coupled with desperation to pretend they're the original Top Gear trip by doing low-rent knock-offs of their road trips. They can...
Me too. It's getting worse and worse. It's an instant turn-off from me. Mind you, those channels where they just endlessly buy cars is pretty boring too, as they're just churning stuff out for content, not because they're actually passionate about it.
I know a few on here like a bit of rally content. This channel popped up in my feed recently, posting a lot of random clips from the '90s, including some testing footage and the like:
I don't think you can be a petrol head in the UK/Europe and not try to go at least once, even if you don't drive it. A lot of the guys I know try and go and quieter times in order to drive it but, to be honest, I'd rather go on the mad busy weekends like Easter and just soak up the atmosphere to...
I've been a few times, but not done many laps as a driver. A friend of mine rented a Clio some years ago and we split the cost between 3/4 of us so we got a few laps each. I'm glad I did it but, once I ticked the box, I have never felt particularly inclined to drive again. Given the risks of TF...
I think I would have preferred some kind of multi-spoke, but I like them overall. I think the OEM wheels really let the MK4 down, so these are a solid improvement.
In China for work and there are loads of tiny little electric cars everywhere. Most of them are entirely interesting, but the way this one had been decorated made me chuckle:
I do find those videos get a bit "samey" after a while. As impressive as it is, there are so many times you can watch a car jump or do donuts. That said, actually making it happen is still deeply impressive, and Pastrana is a grade-A lunatic for the stuff he does.
Like @Adamm., I just have a load of music saved onto my phone, a lot of which is from old CDs, some of which is downloaded. Don't use Spotify or anything like that. Obviously means I don't have more recent stuff though, judging by what I hear when I have the radio on, I don't feel like I'm...
The first part is fine, but why does "the scene" matter? You don't have to buy a cap or have a blue oval tattoo to own one.
Perhaps I'm the weird one, but I don't understand the, "I don't like <insert xyz car brand>". There are good and bad cars from all brands. Generalising just means you...
He drives old Volvos, so is image that much of a concern? :ROFLMAO:
Joking aside, I must say I can't really buy into the whole "image" thing. The reality is, 99% of people don't care what car you drive and, even if they do, does it matter? I buy cars for me, not for other people.
I'm sure but, having spent many years living in rural Norfolk, such things were never that common. One of the many perks of living as far away from other people as possible.
Yeah, I think all 197s/200s have the same steering rack apart from the 200 Cup, but it's only a few percent quicker. There are a few different anti-roll bar thicknesses across the models, and the springs and dampers are different too. Everything else is the same suspension and brake-wise though.
Had two 197s, basically the same as a 200 in reality, as the mechanical differences are tiny. The Cup has a quicker steering rack, but they're all pretty similar otherwise, and you can switch a lot of bits in between (I fitted 200 Cup dampers to my 197 for example).
I really like them to be...
