What's your favourite car related YouTube channel?

193mph in the standing mile without the nitrous.

I've unsubscribed for everything AA now and havnt watched anything they have done since before Taylor was a wanker


Rory is a f**king weasel as well

Same here. I just won't watch the videos anymore.

I love your comments on Rory. I think the same ha!!

I'm getting so bored of the "I've bought the cheapest/shittest/oldest/fastest/crashest in the world" videos. I actually like videos of cars being rebuilt, restored or modified, but the likes of TDC and AA doing the same video over and over and over and over and over again with a slightly different car is getting so dull. They're clearly all just trying to copy the success of Matt Armstrong, but it's just tedious.

The YouTube algorithm is a huge part of the problem though, as it effectively forces people out of being creative and just trying to follow trends.

 

[R3k1355]

because you don't have to be creative to stick videos on YouTube, and even if you have a hit like Matt Armstrong, there's nothing to say you have the ability to evolve the format when it starts to become stale.

People hate when their favourite show gets cancelled on telly, but that generally happens when it's got old and people are starting to turn off.

I suspect that will start to happen with a lot of these channels if they're not careful. There are only so many times people want to watch someone buy a s**t example of a car and fire a parts cannon at it, with a Car Vertical ad thrown in for good measure too of course.

Worth it for the outro alone, good series.

Great watch, and that ending was ace. I didn't used to like Edwin when he was on CarThrottle, but he's really quite funny.

 

[cat171]

I like the TDC channel, it's one of my go to's.

 

[DaveDreads]

They're much more likeable than the AA lot, they seem to be naturally funny and chilled, where the others are like toddlers playing up for the camera.

 

[charltjr]

AA was decent with Ethan and Jack to take the edge off Alex’s shouty shouty. It’s just not much fun to watch any more. Much prefer TDC.

 

[jameswrx]

Very easy to watch, great duo together.

 

[charltjr]

Honestly what are they even doing? Unsubscribed now, there’s so much good content elsewhere.

 

[AdDaMan]

I agree. Couldn't stand him at first, but love him now.

 

[helpimonfire]

They've both got the correct level of cartism which makes them easy to watch and the podcasts are great. Looking forward to the cheap track car challenge they're doing next but it's a collab with AutoAlex so hopefully it's not full cringeworthy shite.

 

[helpimonfire]

This guy SeeYouLazer has been doing TDC/CREAM no context videos and they're brilliant.

 

[Tarticmonkey]

Not sure if they have been mentioned above / previously but I have been really enjoying the BQR Cupra / Ring trip prep videos.

His camera bought a helmet off me a couple of days before the trip. Lovely chap, was heading there in a Z3

 

[Whitetac]

Yeah I quite like their videos, I only watch those guys, M539 and NEV, any other suggestions similar to the above I’d be interested!

 

[Ben]

I got in a YouTube rabbit hole today and found this guy who’s stuck a Hayabusa engine into a 106, it sound wicked.

 

[leeds2592]

I love BQR. Watched his videos for years now but it made me chuckle how he properly sorted it for track with the coilovers, diff etc, then pootled round the ring. I know he was having issues but he seemed to drive it harder on the streets around the track rather than the track itself

 

[leeds2592]

Also this needs to be stopped

Partial blackface?

That's pure algorithm s**t right there. Having someone pulling a stupid face in the thumbnail makes the video do better sadly.

I guess it's more costly to crash on track than it is on the road from a financial point of view? Do you also get charged for recovery if you break down on track?

His V8 E36 is pretty cool too.

I hate it!! The whole shocked OMG, what have I done? face is f**king boring now!

Definitely. I redid all the branding for my channel a few months ago, had what I thought were really clean, good looking thumbnails, but I've had to start putting faces on them (not mine for the most part thankfully) as it does make a real difference.

The need to be clickbait-y is really frustrating to be honest, but the internet is full of mongs who want overly dramatic nonsense sadly.

I agree with you. I don't know why it's a thing, it's so annoying!!
I won't get some examples as I'd rather smash my screen up.

It’s the first thing I think of when I see that stupid arsed expression.

That Corvette is obscene, also 10/10 comment.

Sounds so so good.

Is that because the temptation to shoot them all with an assault rifle would be too much??

Out of the two, I'd take the hellcat over that 'vette

 

[DaveDreads]

It's a few months old but it decent little mini doc.

Just watched the Nico Leonard video with a few people throwing Philip Ireland super cars some s**t.

Could get interesting

Is that about his yellow Lamborghini?

 

[Matt Cup]

One of my favourite cars of all time, shame it’s ended up in this state.
