This.

I reckon even McLaren don't know what the difference is between most of them

I guess all the idiots who used to be drawn to Rufford had to go somewhere.....

Textbook stuff from the Toyota pilot at 7min30 - check that bow wave

(Peugeot at 4mins30 does well too, but lost points for cockyness)

This is nice



Steve Magnante is a small youtuber who does junkyard walkrounds, he has an incredible knowledge of American motoring history.

He's been unwell recently so Hoovie has taken over to keep the channel ticking over while he's away, which I think is pretty decent of him.

Always liked the Xedoses(sp?)

I've just watched that last night myself - can't believe some supposed CGs didn't know what a Xedos is though.

I've been watching a lot of Car Throttle lately, and quite enjoying their vids. They strike a good balance between humour and proper car spannering/driving content. I mean, I've never had any desire for any sort of Range Rover before, but even I was slightly envious of the P38 they found for £400

I watched quite a lot of Car Throttle when Alex Kersten was on it. Haven't really watched it since he left, but I also haven't watched his new channel despite being subscribed to it. So I'll give that a go; always liked the Xedos. I'd prefer the Mazda 323F with the same engine though.

oow I have a thing for manufactures having a poor attempt at an 'executive' car. In a similar vein, this Mazda Luce is strangely appealing even thought it would be clearly inferior to the main competitors.



Here is sweaty example of what the little Mazda V6 can sound like when opened up:

Just to be clear that the Xedos in the Car Throttle vis isn't just the run of the mill Mazda V6, it's the speshul one.

Special one? The Xedos 9 was offered with a Miller cycle engine but that was a 4-cyl. I don’t remember the Xedos 6 being offered with anything other than the 2.0 V6. Will have to watch it.

Edit: I’m conflating two things. The 6 did get a 4-cyl later but the 9 Miller engine was a 6-cyl but smaller than the standard 2.5 V6.

Further edit. Now I’ve put the Car Throttle thing on, I realise it is a Xedos 9 not a 6

For Teh FTAO off @Jobbo

Yeah but I won’t watch it because I hate him.

Oh my good gracious, I had no idea.

Doesn’t everyone? I don’t like his delivery but I started to actively dislike him when he made all that stupid fuss about wanting to buy a Ferrari (IIRC) which wasn’t up to standard. He wasn’t ripped off, he just made a real tit of himself about it.

I tried watching some of his stuff but he's beyond irritating so I just can't.

I was subbed to him when he had his Evora, as he was pretty much the only person regularly doing Lotus-specific content. I unsubbed after he shifted to the mainstream and I thought his channel would suffer as a consequence as his presentation style was stilted and the Lotus angle seemed to be his only real draw.

Fair play, he's made it work. But then, there are loads of awful presenters and they're still gaining subs at a decent rate, so it shows that I know fuck all about how it all works. For example, Joe Achillies gives me narcolepsy but he's on 250k subs.

Joe Achilles is someone I am subscribed to but never watch now. Wonder how many extra subs he gained from money shifting his M2?
