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

*Cough*

Chris Harris gets the Amelia Dimoldenberg treatment, sometimes amusingly:

OK that was good fun.

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.

Super Touring Car is pleasingly bonkers, even to Alex Brundle

Busy boy!

Apparently Rust Bucket Motorsport - the Scandinavian chap who drives old cars very sideways and jumps them - has deleted all his videos due to the wrong sort of attention.

I saw that video yesterday, he's uploaded them over on Patreon instead where it's £5 a month. I can't quite work out what's happened, because if he's in trouble for the location or type of driving, then why would he upload them all to Patreon where they're all still visible. I'm sure he's been through this before with a previous channel a couple of years ago too.

Either way it's a shame, his videos were always a joy to watch, seeing old scrappers get thrashed to destruction is great fun

They were good fun, not enough for me to subscribe though. And you’re right, I hadn’t realised he had shifted them to Patreon instead. Presumably not the police giving him attention but either nobs reporting them or YouTube being difficult.

I wasn't aware of this - I enjoyed playing "spot all the Evora bits". Which were plentiful.

Thoroughly enjoyed this (won't give anything away).

I remember it being a pretty funky looking thing, far more special than the Evora 414E sister car, which in one of Lotus' fire sales got flogged off in 2019. Wonder if the buyer was able to get it to work?
