RE: PHTV - Episode 11
Discussion
Agree with 31mph, delve into the forums a bit more, taken one of the mega miles cars for a spin, say how it has weathered over time, drive a barge, etc!
I think it is going well, thank you!
Instead of just blipping the throttle going down the gears, if you are fast enough you could double clutch it - if you are fast enough!

I would rather watch guys who are not great presenters but who really know about cars than polished presenters who pretend to be car people but don't really get it.
Keep up the good work.
This is True Mr Shoddy I hope we can be friends as my profile says I am Billy no mates which I feel is hurtful and unrepresentative of me as a whole!Keep up the good work.
Yoicks, tough crowd!
In all seriousness we are taking it all on board and endeavouring to keep making it better. Indeed this comment...
As for the quality of the user videos, well, there's a simple answer to that one - get out there and film something! Doesn't need to be an exotic location or car and you don't need a crew, a drone or a fancy camera. Just a bit of imagination and a good hook - think of some of the great YouTube stuff over the years like that bloke with the diesel AX going for his 10-minute 'ring lap or whatever. OK, so that took years, several engines and gearboxes and some epic determination. But you know what I mean!
We'll keep working to make our stuff better but we know there are some talented folk out there with some interesting cars and stories to tell about them. Don't be shy - PHTV gives you a platform!
Cheers,
Dan

e.g.. Dan has a fabulous subversive humour in the written word, that really doesn't come across.
As for " it's free, be grateful" - I'd rather have nothing at all. I actually think it's bad enough to be damaging.....
...contains within one of the nicest compliments I think I've ever been paid so thanks for that. It also provides suitable inspiration to bring the stuff on screen up to a similar standard. I've had more practice at the written word bit though so bear with me! As for " it's free, be grateful" - I'd rather have nothing at all. I actually think it's bad enough to be damaging.....

Why?? I'd rather watch guys who are who are genuine car nuts AND present well. There are a number of examples out there.Happyjap said:

Dan, well done for taking the comments on the chin 
Mr Dan in Japan you would be given the title of "menmoku" meaning you have honour and Dignity!Hoonfest said:
I'm really struggling with PistonHeads of late, the adverts everywhere has just gone too far and now this TV thing, it's not really cutting it. I like progress but this is not it.
You do realise it would actually take less time to go and download ad block software than to write a post moaning about adverts?Max_Torque said:
I expect those exact words WEREN'T being uttered as Dan + Co-driver sat hanging from their belts in that accidentally-shiny-side-down Defender last week....... ;-)
Yes I agree with you Mr Vince Fox I think Dan would loose his cool James Bond English reserve and swear! Gilhooligan said:

I would love to do this but unfortunately my work pc does not allow it, for some reason they don't trust us ha-ha. The video add before the episode is a tad annoying while I'm in the mood for a moan up!
Fair enough ha. I don't think I could handle the Internet without ad block these days. Edited by Hoonfest on Friday 8th May 16:05
