Decent car YouTubes

[Jobbo]

Youtube offered me this yesterday and I enjoyed it:



Nice one @Gavster. I had no idea so many service areas had nice bits out the back. Also, well done including a slightly lingering shot of the Caterfield.

Thanks for sharing Simon, glad to hear you enjoyed it too it was good fun to make and cool to have a bit of an adventure. Someone in the comments suggested I go to the 10 worst rated service stations next

I've stopped at Donno services a few times over the years, it's not bad at all. Never thought to look out the back of it though.

Gloucester services similar - those sausage rolls (I assume similar across all that chain)? Two of them is definitely a bit much, I got hot ones, ooh, so much grease. Couldn't finish two.

Good vid!

I bought one of these a few months ago. I’ve always liked that viewing tower.

Cheers Beany yeah the sausage rolls were beastly, so many to choose from too

I’m sure 10 worst is better for views. Was wondering if this one might go viral for you though.

My dad always stopped at Killington Lake if we were ever heading North-South (or vice versa)

That’s where I stopped to put my roof up on the way home from seeing you last year.

Great vid Gav, I'll keep an eye out for those services! Made me want to road trip.

Cheers Dunc It made me realise how the most tenuous premise can still make a really enjoyable road trip

Almost the more tenuous the better.

I do like a bit of tactical contact

Not enough filling in of the tw@ts, but good to watch.. do they get charged with the police vehicle damage or are we footing the (old) bill?

Bit of a bizarre incident for autocar



I kind of get Mercedes explanation, but not quite sure how it determined the ‘thing’ moving away from them was a person and kept the anchors on all the way to a dead stop

The thumbnail reminds me of what you were like 20 years ago. cracking vid, though. Is that one of your longest videos?

The thing with Gloucester services is that it prices out the chavs who'll keep driving down to Michaelwood and get a burger.

I want to believe this is BS, but suspect it is real

[Matty]

Do you not remove the entire front end just to remove your filter?

Also, 15k @mik. Put that on your CV.

I hate all of that. Mind you, in my time in product development I have witnessed management signing off designs that required front subframe removal to change the engine oil filter.

A quick google confirms that this is indeed real. Websites are quoting 4 hours booking for an air filter swap imagine what it will be like in a few years when everyone nut, bolt, and fastener clip is basically welded in with rust. I hope they anti seize the shit out of everything

Lol that was me driving to work back in the early 00s

It's one of the longer ones, some of the diet stuff I did a couple of years ago was around 40 mins too. Also, last night this vid became my best performing YT vid to date if it gets another ~70k views then it will break even financially too . It is pulling in a decent amount of new subscribers too, and that growth of views + subs is what the game is about, rather then actually making money off a video.
