Yeah, but he's a typical Youtube type who talks in that annoying way and drags out his videos.


Looking through my YouTube subscriptions - what happened to Edd China’s Garage? Never went past the pilot episode which is a shame.
I think his mum was really ill and he's ended up looking after her. Unsure if she died or not.

I can't remember if I've said on here before but Skid Factory is a must. The two Aussies who used to pitch up on Roadkill are the main guys and they really hit the mark. Proper modification without the bloody histrionics the Yanks seem to succumb to, it's addictive stuff.

I watched Tavarish’s latest vid on taking the engine out of the F355. I won’t be watching anything more on his channel. He’s annoying, the videos make an interesting subject dull and he does that fucking horrible thing of cutting every pause for breath so the audio sounds staccato and almost hysterical.

Yes - it’s a shame that he is so awful I won’t be able to follow the progress of that and the F355. As they are drawn out over multiple videos...

Just spent hours watching the ML55, cayenne turbo, nsx and 911 LS swap stuff!

The houses he does it outside seem to get nicer and nicer :lol:

...and he's just said that he's moving house again. I think he owns a fast food chain too, so $$$$$

I wonder how long it will be before he just buys out The Wizard like Jay Leno did with his mechanic once his car collection grew quite large :lol:

Skip drag week - boring!

I like the skid factory stuff even though I had a little disagreement with Al in the comments section.

Tavarish's content is pretty dire (and I am still put off by his massive moobs), though I was interested to see just how easy the entire back end came off the 355. Even for fabled Ferrari 'engine out' jobs that's not too big a task at all.

I think it helps that half the car was burnt to ash - less to remove!

I do like Hoovies stuff, he's quite open that what he does is stupid, but he enjoys it. Tavarish I find a bit annoying. I was 'suggested' Cleetus McFarland, but he takes the 'stretching a two minute update to twenty minutes' thing to the extreme.

I watched Cleetus when he first got his Corvette and started turning it into a drag monster, but don’t watch him anymore. So many car channels have an interesting project which makes them rapidly grow to a certain size and then turn crap as they’re just knocking out videos for ad revenue. Salomondrin went the same way. Rob Feretti used to have cool stuff years ago but it’s just dull vlogs now. Colin Furze isn’t car stuff, more mechanical messing about but his projects aren’t as good nowadays.
