Video series following the refurbishment of an abandoned Saab dealership. Quite interesting. Would love to do the same.

I've seen this guy pop up in videos before, it's a great story and a real enthusiast. He bought his first F40 for £163k over twenty years ago and has been driving it and modifying it ever since

Not a YouTube, but it’s remarkable how modern rally seems to make it look like they have a monster amount of grip and also look like there’s none at the same time. Obviously it’s weight transfer physics making use of the level of dive and roll in the suspension, but it still looks like they shouldn’t be able to move like that

I guess tyre warmers aren’t viable when they have to drive between stages but that looks ridiculous. Maybe come up with something based on anti-lag - burn fuel to warm the tyres. Maybe with mini flame throwers 😄

Chris Harris gets the Amelia Dimoldenberg treatment, sometimes amusingly:

Send me links to cars for sale with throttle bodies.

Not exactly 'car youtubes' but it's Technology Connections, doing a video on why oil pressure is important that you could send to your aunty and she'd enjoy it and learn something from it, thanks to his calm, friendly Normie Appeal, unlike a Garbage Time or M539 video, who are a bit too niche and 'car guy' etc.

It's a very good, clear and simple explanation of how an engine works, why it needs oil pressure, and why you should keep on top of basic oil maintenance.

That was amusingly watchable. I've always been a bit unsure about Bella...I've seen a bit of her stuff on IG, but feels like she tries *a bit* too hard sometimes.
