Yeah same, I’m generally a fan of RS Audis and the RS2 is an interesting car but if I could pick one it would be a B5 RS4

As a classic, the B5 RS4 beats the RS2 for me. It's still properly quick, it has those pumped arches and it looks just right. Set the template for RS Audis for the future in a way the RS2 didn't.

I'd still rather have a more up to date RS Audi than a B5 RS4 though...

Rich, what do you think of Doug De Muro?

i've not watched any of his stuff - I'll check out the RS2 one and report back with a controversial opinion.

i liked the content, he's a bit much though isn't he! Like he's coked up!

It's very silly.
But I kind of like it.
Shame you can't get one for teens over here really.

Old but good

I got a bit jaded over these in recent years, but this nonsense was just what I needed this morning.

I didn’t watch to the end, but the jump over the boat was fantastic including Travis’s face

And I liked the almost-in-the-drink at 3m45.

And I might have gone back to it.... the jump around 6min is rather cold too...

It was the first one I’ve watched for ages.

I quite like Travis Pastrana. Looked like there was less rubber on the roads than you usually see on Gymkhana videos. Must need less practice than Block

Superb video from Jay Leno. Didn’t know he had a CGT; he’s had it for 17 years!

I never knew the secret compartment at the door



In the video Jay talked about his high speed spin, and was very humble about it. Sure there was a lot of luck, but I reckon he demonstrated a lot of skills there too.

Video of the spin:

Not a vid, but... probably inevitable given how much current excitement there is about these....

I don’t have time to watch it all now, but this looks like it could be good.

Nice video for tool nerds from Retropower this week. Love seeing all the ancient machines that metal workers use.

Liked that - Surprisingly doenst have much of a car collection.

Watched that earlier, its a good chat that. The Matt Neal one is worth catching too

Nothing new to learn here for Porsche aficionados, but good litter series nevertheless (with one more episode to come).

How good does the 911R sound?

I've been following this chap since he managed to acquire the local Ferrari 512 BBi which had been sitting on a chap's drive for well over a decade:



He's a typical annoying Youtuber but the car is interesting. Love the alloys when they don't have the centre spinners on; I'm really not a fan of spinners

I've been watching this too. His previous stuff annoyed me because he always just talked about what he was going to do for 99% of the video. These ones do seem a bit more hands on.

The only reason I watch them is for this car - my wife spotted it on the driveway of the previous owner a few years ago and sent me a photo of it. Apparently he's a bit odd and has a problem with hoarding. So to see it come back to life is really nice.

Yeah, I don't really get his other cars/videos that I've seen (308 mainly) - it seems he has a desire to make things look a bit shit to get a reaction. This one should be a straight resto which is far more my style.

Yeah, just a bit worried he might put a clear wrap over the lichen to preserve the 'patina' on this one

The spinners should have been left in the 60s.

I imagine it would be pretty simple to get a set of normal 6 sided nuts made up which would look miles better.
