Re: Decent car YouTubes
I really wanted to do a couple of videos for that but the weather conspired against it. Maybe next time.
Cheers, Harry
Re: Decent car YouTubes
This guys got some great content on his channel, he built/owns the Honda S600 with a Fireblade engine that was featured by Jay Leno a while back. His latest project is a Mk5 Jag which he's converting to Tesla power:
Re: Decent car YouTubes
I've started watching this series
Never come across the bloke before, and it's a bit amateur-hour but quite compelling. Especially when he starts taking spark plugs out with an engine bay still full of 16 years of crap...!

Re: Decent car YouTubes
Yeah, we've talked about him before somewhere on this thread. He's much better when he has a proper project to work through like this one - otherwise he tends to do lots of videos talking about what he's going to be doing in future videos. Seems a genuine enough guy though and the 512 series has been entertaining so far.

Not youtube but a really interesting look around a CGT - 50k to replace the undercarriage

Chris Harris posted this up on Twitter. Will make you want a fruity Impreza and some better driving skills
Re: Decent car YouTubes
Really enjoying Jonny smiths channel, he’s a great presenter and there’s decent production quality as well.
Hopefully he can make a go of it, so much better than the rich Daddy influencer pricks..
His BTCC stuff with Plato and Matt Neal is great as well!

Re: Decent car YouTubes
It is nice to watch but why he hasn't got a lift of some sort i can't fathom. Everything must take 2 or 3 times as long scrabbling around on the floor and messing with stands and jacks.
He's not even got an engine stand which are peanuts, he's put the motor on a wooden trolley 3 inches off the floor lol
Re: Decent car YouTubes
So much better now that he's toned down the zaneyness that was part of his TV identity
I wish him well
Re: Decent car YouTubes
Another great example of when you can SEE a car is fast on a video. Watch the way this thing hoovers up straights
Re: Decent car YouTubes
That’s LOL fast. 6:50
That’s why I am not a PDK/DCT hater; cars are so fast now so right tool for the job.
I would love to own a R35 GTR at some point and see what’s it like.

Excellent 'colour correction'.
Re: Decent car YouTubes
The whole idea of attempting to perform manual clutch / lever gearchanges in a GT-R would be ludicrous.
Your left hand would be permanently on the lever and when cars are as fast as this you need both hands on the wheel more than 5% of the time to drive properly IMO.

I'm sure the racing snakes among us would manage
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Decent car YouTubes
Similar arguments for bikes having quick shifters/blippers now, one less thing to contend with as the bike hurls you along. And fun in their own way too.Mark_bt52 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 19, 2021 9:02 amThe whole idea of attempting to perform manual clutch / lever gearchanges in a GT-R would be ludicrous.

Re: Decent car YouTubes
With paddles... (actually I was there and paddles were required for spectators also )
Actually that lap was a bit overrated IMO, Senna and Andretti were both extremely fast in the wet morning warmup, Andretti was even up to 3rd on lap 1 before getting a bit too greedy and Senna himself said that the car was mainly responsible with it being the most technologically advanced on the grid in terms of driver aids, particularly traction control.
Yes it's a great lap, and a dominant race performance, but along with Senna, I don't rate it as one of his best.

Re: Decent car YouTubes
We’ve mentioned George’s stuff before. I have no idea how he has the patience to do all the stop-motion sequences, but I am so pleased that he does.
This is a fab little vid.

@MikeHunt Timur will be really pleased to hear this, he’s lost his mojo recently with cars, not least because he’s a pilot and had to sell his GT3 last year for obvious reasons. He’ll probably make a new vid or two on my 600lt, well maybe if I pass on your kind endorsementmik wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 11:42 pmHaven’t met him but Timur is a friend and ex-employee of Pete.MikeHunt wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 9:45 pm I really dig a lot of the videos on this channel https://www.youtube.com/c/VehicleVillains/videos
