What's your favourite car related YouTube channel?

[Jason_E]

Shameless plugging. Again. But I did my first “trackday vlog”, so keen to hear what you guys make of it. Obviously my GoPro constantly shitting itself wasn’t ideal and I’ve sorted a replacement.

I've got that in my to-watch list!

I've gotten into AutoAlex recently. I went off the CarThrottle stuff a while ago as it became a bit stale, I saw Alex went off on his own and it didn't really interest me that much (and didn't suprise me either), I used to find his presenting style quite annoying.
However, randomly watched one of his vids the other week and enjoyed it and ended up watching nearly everything on the channel, his mate Taylor is a funny c*nt.
Plus, what else would you do with a cheap XJR found at auction other than straight piping it?

anyone seen Harry's round up of his costs for 2022

shocked at the on going costs to sort a car that's had a full rebuild. Wonder if the engine builder chipped in towards the cost of the injectors on the Jaaaaag. Also I bet the fuel return issue was a little bit worrying.

 

[S-JM]

Watched that yesterday, £7k a year to insure everything!
Got to be so frustrating to complete a rebuild just for a manufacturer supplied product not be to the exact spec of the original, bet there's been so much head scratching and annoyance.

20 cars and 18 bikes...must take some admin to sort all those out in respect to MOT, etc.

I remember him saying in an old video that when he had the Zonda that one car was something daft like 70% of the total cost of his policy.

Just before Christmas I found M539 Restorations

His videos are just immense and I've watched every video he's put up in the last few weeks 😂

Project Chicago with the Alpina B7 was probably my favourite series he did. I just love how thorough he is with his builds.

Yeah easily or Raleigh. You could visibly see how determined he was to get Chicago in a good way and it kept fighting back with considerable blows🤣

It was a f**king rollercoaster ride with the several engine builds he had to do. He has too much patience.

Alex and Taylor are f**king superb, way better than the wannabe top gear banter that he had on CT with the other two

Back to YouTube videos.

Love watching Grind Hard Plumbing Co too.

They had me in stitches on the first car auction video they did where they bought a shonky range rover (is there any other kind) and the caravan ones too.

Just a couple of blokes cocking around, what's not to like.

Jack from CT is too underrated

Choppy choppy

He was funny when Alex was there. Now CT is just him and Ethan he’s like a fridge freezer, properly boring.

I carried on with B is for Build but that’s some proper sh1t work they do.. waste of my life watching that mustang of garbage get puked together.

Current potty tv is.

Not seen this guy before, and I'm not really familiar with American cars, but this was good entertainment. Trying to drive 2100 miles with no oil pressure.

 

[S-JM]

Another decent Car Cave episode:


Also whoever recommended M539 Restorations, I thank you, I'm 7 episodes deep into Project Chicago, I have absolutely no idea about anything he is doing but I also can't stop watching.

It was @Tubbs Vice, I know this because I am also balls deep in M539 thanks to that c**t.

Listen, I have good taste in entertainment🤣

Watched a few this morning and enjoying, quite like the "will it start" episodes.

Just stumbled on this video about 182 being brought back to life after sitting neglected for years

Yeah he did well to do all that and not really be clued up on the 182. The gold wheels and side bits were not worth doing.

Yeh that was a mistake. Massive difference as he said was right, but in the wrong way haha

 

[botfch]

Surprised that Carfection has gone bust, wondered why I’d not seen Catchpole on there much recently.

 

[Adamm.]

I'll get slated for this but I don't mind a bit of officially gassed. One of the best one is this one imo..



I'm also subbed to Misha Charoudin who does a lot of Nurburgring stuff.

 

[chazza114]

He's moved over to the Hagerty channel now, and has started doing videos with them.

 

[McGherkin]

Jayemm did a video on the subject. Basically the high quality or long form/complex content doesn’t draw enough views to cover the cost of making it. When he or Metcalfe etc make a big video with a complex shoot it simply doesn’t make money, they do it because either they can afford to take the hit to do something they want or it’s something they were going to do anyway (for example a big trip) and they might as well bring a camera and recoup a bit of the cost with some content.

Carfection strived for the high quality content and presumably hoped that there would be enough interest later on to pay it all back, but the audience simply isn’t large enough

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

It's sad really, as the Carfection stuff was really good. It's clearly just not what a lot of people want though. It baffles me what does and doesn't get views though. I put a really badly edited video up a few weeks ago and it's had 11k views so far. It was so bad that I didn't even realise I had forgotten to delete a title slide I put at the end and didn't use. Contrast that with one I put up a week-or-so ago that I spent way more time editing, which has only got about 300 views, despite me plugging it on other platforms. I know people talk endlessly about algorithms, but luck plays a huge part in it as far as I can tell.

 

[Chocice]

Carfection would have been more suited to Netflix, there are no car review shows on the streaming platform, just the usual hotrod dross.

 

[dangerous dave]

Car reviews on YouTube cannot be beaten…

1 man, 1 iPhone, 1 car, 30 minutes, 1million to 15million views = profit.

 

[McGherkin]

Some absolutely fantastic long format interviews coming from Jayemm lately:
Stories about the car industry and quality control, with some good, and some bad!


Starting off as a farmer, and then going on to buy MOT write off supercars which ultimately led to Ferraris, GT40s and beyond


Huge collection of cars, ultimately ending up in owning WRC cars


You might know him as the CEO of Aston Martin, but he also invented the crossover and designed a whole host of other cars first.

 

[hopgop1]

Essex farmer interview was excellent, very interesting story.
