This chap is worth a watch If you like to see down to earth guys within the motor trade. Fairly new channel - he trades from home but has just taken on a small site to expand which he's documenting.

Brilliant - channels like this are right up my street. Cheers!

I’ve been working my through his videos, I quite like his stuff. I’d like a bit more info on the costs and then profit.

 

[leedsboy]

DannyDC2 pumping out some good stuff recently on the racing side of stuff. Really like the properly long videos

This M3 is mega

 

[SCJM21]

I signed up to his Patreon a couple of months back, properly enjoying his stuff.
Was looking forward to the early access stuff too until I fell behind within a few days 😂. Never mind, still happy to contribute towards his channel.

2 months ago since they were over.

They should have plenty of footage.

 

[Waitey]

Really enjoying this guys vids. His projects range from normal to mental.

 

[botfch]

These lads always make me laugh cars/farming/pikeys etc.

 

[BoatNonce]

I posted them up the other day. Legendary.

Highly recommend watching SHAFT.

 

[Cookson]

Reminds me of these

I'll assume this guy is in the thread somewhere, he's been getting recommended on a lot of home pages.





Not sure on his back story etc and I don't think he's a "driver", but his location is really putting his content out there. His video put together and calmness is impressive.

I really only watch catchpole when he posts something or harry sometimes.

Apart from him wearing his batman on the wrong wrist, unbelievable production quality and content. Jealous.

 

[dangerous dave]

Watching some caddy and t5 stuff on potty.. dan chambers normally.

However.

DTE TV seems to fill that space quite well at the minute… ahhh yeh..

 

[DaveDreads]

5 years and it's going to the paint shop, only seems like a year or so since I started watching these lads.

 

[Touring_Rob]

I've just come across this cracking channel. The slightly unenthusiastic but very lovable chap who seems to be unable to hold a camera still or use tools properly has some very watchable videos where he sometimes fixes things, sometimes breaks things and sometimes paints rusty stuff before purchasing more rusty stuff, I shall subscribe and push many like buttons to help him along.



@Jason_E hope you get it fixed mate

 

[CrippsCorner]

Anyone watch Autoalex? I'm conflicted, because I like the content, but the guy really f**king annoys me.

I've only just started watching his stuff, with the Germany series where his mate blew his Mini up 30km from The Ring and they're engine swapping it in some randoms shed, but you are right they're all dicks.

 

[Touring_Rob]

I really like him tbh and the mechanic chap (the one with the mini) is very likable I think.

 

[dangerous dave]

Nope..

he’s another talker, does absolutely fk all but waffle and get other people to do work. I don’t understand what his channel is for, it’s not even potty tv.

Dan chambers built his own kitchen unit in this camper from scratch, fitted windows, wiring, door swap, seat conversions, heater install, engine repairs.

Auto Alex would drop it off and waffle bolloxs while someone else fits it… He has nothing to offer…

I agree. Both great. Alex is funny imo without trying hard like most. Saw that since his early CT days

I’m 50/50 with him as well.

I think Taylor is a brilliant addition but I can’t f**king stand that Rory. I don’t know what it is about him, he just looks like a smug prick all the time 😂

Yea agree, he's a s**t addition.

 

[Crayola]

I think they should put Rory back behind the camera and get Jack from CT

Alex and Jack together was carnage, can't imagine what it'd be like with Taylor

I don't see a massive issue with him getting other people to do the work on the one hand, as not everyone is mechanically minded. That said, it does surprise me at times how useless a lot of motoring journalists/content creators are at spannering. Was reading an article about one of the PH staffers Mini earlier and he paid a garage to fit springs for him. Follow a lot of them on social media and most of them seem to just pay people to work on their cars. Seems weird really, and a bit at odds with how a lot of car enthusiasts are.

Smith and sniff are a good example of how different some of them are.

Jonny smith does loads of work on his cars (well used to before his YT stuff went mental), whereas Richard Porter has admitted he can’t do anything, said he’d be s**t scared to even touch the simplest of things like brakes.

Then I don’t understand what they’re for…

I’m a guy, watching a guy, watching another guy…

That’s worse than someone telling me about their day at work…..in detail

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

That's a bit extreme maybe. You can still be knowledgeable and talk about something with authority, even if you aren't totally "hands-on". Someone like Chris Harris or Henry Catchpole wouldn't be any good at fixing a car, but I would put a certain amount of faith in their assessment of how a car drives, while there are people who understand the market for certain cars, history and heritage etc etc.

Alex doesn't bother me that much, as he is quite enthusiastic, and his content is more about having fun, doing silly things and going on adventures. It's not something I'd watch a lot of, but I can see why it appeals to some.

I think it's the ones who just buy fancy cars that I don't get. People like Supercar Blondie, or Shmee150 to an extent. While you can't knock them for putting in the work and being successful, I can't understand what people get out of watching someone buying expensive cars, but not really being knowledgeable enough to speak about them beyond what the press release has told them.

Same.

Also, your last bit...
Pretty much the same walking into a mainstream car dealership (at least... When I used to). Zero clue about the product.

Same with Jayemm. Mechanically completely and unashamedly incompetent, but understands how to drive a car and makes good conclusions.

 

[Cookson]

Love Taylor being added to AutoAlex, he definitely makes the shows far more watchable. CT has gone right downhill since Alex left, and I agree Jack should replace Rory.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Seems most people like that Alex then? Just not my kind of dude. Met many people like him... all about the 'banter' lol.

Gone off watching Mat Armstrong too as he just smiles all the time which makes me want to punch his face, but apart from that he's actually fine.

I'm really just about High Peak Autos & The Late Brake Show really, with a touch of Odd Autos. Oh and Carwow is alright, but I really only watch the drag races.

Is there any more people that review/do up older cheaper cars?

Thanks. Quite a few older cars on there, but I'll check it out

What are high peak autos videos about. Think I watched half of one ages ago and it was basically a car review

 

[CrippsCorner]

He's gotten into a bit of a routine with these, 'I bought a cheap...' series. Cars for a couple of grand, hoping they're not fucked, which they usually are! It's just funny/interesting seeing how some of them work out. 20 minutes long or so, perfect with a cuppa lol

Also does some random ones like 'A day in the life of...' and garage tours etc.

Have to say though he has a terrible taste in cars (personally, not necessarily the ones he buys)

Have you seen M539 Restorations? It's top class.

 

[Howell]

It's his silly laugh that's put me off watching, plus it feels like he's constantly shouting at the camera.

I've started watching the Nightrider guys, few polish mates with some projects cars - just done a 5 parter in Japan

 

[leedsboy]

I really like Mat Armstrongs stuff, he's properly smashing it.

I get why people don't like him though.

 

[Matt Cup]

Does anyone watch Overdrive? Another standard format of 3 fellas dicking around with cars.

He talks like he's had a brain injury, far too slow for me. And slightly condescending, which he probably doesn't mean to be, but it f***s me off. Plus it's same s**t episode after episode "I took this banger in on part ex, hope it isn't a wreck" and it is. How is he taking it as a part ex if he hasn't even looked at it?

It's his silly laugh that's put me off watching, plus it feels like he's constantly shouting at the camera.

Chris Slix is his mate and he's a little less shouty, but with lower spec cars
