If you like the bracket making and problem solving of Bad Obsession but also want to watch projects get finished, I'm enjoying this series on Autostyl building a silly fast US postvan for (mountain biker) Bernard Kerr.
Part 1 of 11 so far.

Re: Decent car YouTubes
BK has a great car collection - from memory he has a 964, a testarossa, an older RS4, various vans, a landie pick up, a open top series landie, a robin and I think his missus has a posh G wagon.

Makes me want to jump in the car and head up the m6 right now!

It’s fun that the Falcon was considered a small car in the US

Re: Decent car YouTubes
So Misha has a "slight" accident with one of his viewers cars. Not surprising that this kinda thing happens given the speeds, he's covering it all and rebuilding the car for him, so it's all good. A couple interesting things:
1. He's not allowed to show any footage as per terms of his media contract with the Ring. Not sure if this is a standard clause for them, and what the reason would be. Maybe they to discourage 'tubers using it for views.
2. He rarely wears a helmet, but made it clear here how lucky he was after the barrier sliced through the roof.
3. Costs are mental. 1k for medical/recovery, estimated 10-15k
for barrier and track repair, plus 100k to rebuild the car.

Misha is an arrogant narcissist. It’s only a matter of time before he properly hurts or kills either himself or someone else. I’m not sure a YouTube channel will pay for the regularity of his crashes if he pays for them all either.

Weird video... So many reactions...
Cheers,

Re: Decent car YouTubes
I had similar feelings.
“My car is handling like shit. It’s awful. Drive it and give me a second opinion”
“Your car is handling like shit. It’s awful”
“Cheers”

Pilot is clearly highly skilled and experienced at drifting, but maybe wait until there aren’t innocent parties around you when you press on in your faulty car?

Yep.

Plus, at a basic level, he's actually really fucking boring to watch.

Re: Decent car YouTubes
I used to enjoy some of his apex videos a couple of years ago, but not watched any of his solo stuff for ages.
Not being able to show any accident footage is annoying, you’d have thought Nurburgring would want to show how dangerous it can be, maybe people would learn from it. Not showing the crashes doesn’t stop them happening!
He can also spend hours describing a crash in detail, but the viewer can have little understanding of the details which a 10 second video would show, and without any sort of evidence you’re always going to assume it’s entirely his fault.

Re: Decent car YouTubes
Maybe he needs to stop driving modified cars, as he doesn't seem to bin the stock cars. This M4 I feel like I could believe his brake failure excuse though, that picture of the last time he drove it with the suspension coming apart, you could see that pulling a brake line out if it broke the right way
I think I'd have refused to ever drive that car again after that though.

How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Decent car YouTubes
If it's not working properly why drive it at ten-tenths or more? He's an oaf.

Re: Decent car YouTubes
Hamilton would be faster on the second lap. Because he’d still be capable of driving a car which is still running.
