Decent car YouTubes

Fascinating video.

We're only hearing one side of course, but from this account - the response from the clutch manufacturer appears rather dissapointing.

This vid did however transport me back > 30 years to when I didn't get round to sorting the whining gearbox bearing on my SuperStrada. It's slow collapse/self destruction eventually caused so much swarf in the 'box oil that the 1st gear synchro locked that gear onto the shaft. Which would have been inconvenient at any time, but particularly so when I was already doing 70(ish)mph on the M8 whilst in 5th gear. Split the gearbox casing, bent both driveshafts like bananas, destroyed 2 tyres (mahoosive flat spots). Gearbox was toast, but - silver lining - pulling it apart to see if anything could be recovered taught me loads about gearboxes.....

'kin 'ell Mik!

What I liked from the vid was how clearly it was all explained and demonstrated. Seemed fairly difficult to refute to me. Their sole defence seems to be "you shouldn't have driven it".

Very shitty behaviour from the clutch manufacturer, he told them right from the start it didn’t feel right.

I’m also bit sure the release bearing would always be putting pressure on the centre of the clutch. Even with the centre too long I would have thought there would still be clearance between the centre and fingers, which obviously would close up when the clutch was actually pressed. Although we don’t get to see how it all sits once bolted up. - I only got to about half way through last night so maybe there is somewhere.

I also would have thought you’d hear / feel it, although with a v10 between you and it I guess it’s a lot less obvious than when the clutch is by your ankles.

I used to love his mk2 golf stuff but have pretty much zero interest in his R8 project for some reason.

Chap goes to Dyno his V10 S8, develops a knocking noise while at the garage, spends £10k fixing it, noise still there

Lots of people in the comments saying he's been robbed by the garage. Probably hard to tell without actually seeing and hearing it first hand, but not a great outcome regardless..

One for @Carlos

Who the fuck hands back a car after spending £10k sounding like that

[Mito Man]

Wait, is that the “I can’t hit my protein” guy or just a doppelgänger

[Alex88]

They gave it back sounding worse! and yeah, that's him

Wait, is that the “I can’t hit my protein” guy or just a doppelgänger

Yeah it's him

He bought that car a fair while ago and started branching out into cars once he began to make some decent money off his viral protein stunts.

i thought he was a bit of a knob at first, but i’ve warmed to him.

That's funny because same here too

I think it's because some of his videos looked like they were trying to be sensational and over-hyping things, but the reality is that he's a really solid CG and 100% follows through on any claims he makes.

His Dad is hilarious

Keeping with the Audi theme, I enjoyed this video.

I came across the channel for the Mustang content, but he has a Viper and V10 R8 as well.

Drag races at the end are fun

It's really fascinating seeing Mat pull the Bugatti apart, it's such a well-engineered car.

I don't think this is a very good review at all. From Jayemm who likes the ND MX5 very much normally; some very unjustified criticism and a clickbait title which doesn't reflect the conclusion.

Stunning thing. Love the interior as much as he does
