Love JL's garage, there's some awesome videos on there.

We met him at the ring one year when he was driving the jag xfr and stuff round. Offered to take him for a real lap in the cup! Lol! Nice bloke tbf.

 

[Mr Burns]

Yeah he comes across as a decent chap.

Thread bump. Recently subscribed to his YT channel - and what a bloke he is. No pretentious crap - no fancy setups and surrounding armies of sycophants. Just him with his clear-to-see, infectious enthusiasm for cars. Definitely a bucket-list person I'd like to meet!

Anyways, anyone heard of one of these before? It was new to me - clearly following the Renault 5 Turbo idea, but with an American vibe. Only 7 made too. Dubious looks - even for the tail-end of the 1980's - but I bet it's a bag of fun to drive. :smiley:

I must have watched nearly every video on his channel by far, proper enthusiast and i like the way he isn't scared to modify and modernize vintage cars to make them usable on a regular basis.

I met him a few years ago. Decent bloke!

Watched that Ford Shogun video a couple of weeks back, what a weapon! Watched this one last night, I for one love it!

 

[andyj007]

so much better that that t**t clarkson to watch... Jays a true enthusiast... and full of compliments for the good parts.. even when some of the cars he drives clearly have a few issues, he always appreciates,is respectful and highlights the good areas...
what a garage this guy has..... some cracking videos on his you tube feed..

What I liked about the Ford Shogun video above is he purely did it due to demand, it's in the background of loads of videos and even I wondered what it was, so due to the questions he did the video.
I enjoy when he reviews proper mental over the top motors, like the dual-engined Mini, his face when driving it is a picture!

 

[Scrooge]

I love that Espada!

I'm also a fan of his YT shows.Down to the nitty gritty, BS free reporting, with the occasional one-liner thrown in. He was a mechanic, pre showbiz career, he knows cars:so unlike the two generations of TG clowns

Exactly. You get the impression that turning up to his pad in a 1979 s**t-brown Austin Maxi, would still spark his interest. It has a motor. And wheels = he's onboard.
