Having never really spent much time watching stuff on YouTube, my eyes have been opened to sone great content recently. I'd like more of the same please, so what else should I look out for?

So far I've found:

Car and classic - I've watched the rotten Jag, the GS and the transit flatbed thing http://youtube.com/channel/UCjwnfXspdm2078qQ327MEZ...

Smith and sniff - the massive field of old cars http://youtube.com/c/SmithandSniff

I'm already aware of Hubnut and his adventures

Is there anything else out there along a similar vein worth watching?

I don’t have a lot of channels i subscribe to as i am fussy about presentation, but i recommend these.

1. Coldwarmotors ( Canadian based car restoration channels + beer + poodle) favourite channel at the moment.

2. Autogefuhl. ( German based modern and occasionally classic car reviews)

3. Living the van life. ( American guy in his vw westfalia camper , cooking and camping. stunning cinematography and drone work)

4. Charles Phoenix “Joyride “ ( camp as a row of pink tents persona Americana enthusiast reviews classic mid century modern cars)

5. Carchaeology. ( American based classic car enthusiast tracks done old abandoned or stored classic cars and recommissions them)

Soup Classic Motoring, brilliant use of stop motion within the production. Classic Range Rover and Merc recommisioning by a guy learning as he goes.

Unfortunately his output has slowed right down now, but hopefully more will come along

Thanks for suggestions so far. Less interested in the restoration of cars and the billions of videos with it, more the uncovering and reviews of unloved chod. Don't like to commit to a whole series laugh

Along the lines of HubNut is Idriveaclassic, and enthusiastic lady test driving a cross section of classics older and newer.

Big Car : A chap presenting the history of more modern 'classics'. He's got better with more shows.

NewsVsOld : A classic car writer calling in a guest to test drive two contemporary matched classics then a modern equivalent. Its featured Edd China, Quinten Wilson and Les Dennis so far. It has potential.

This Week with Cars : US show, one guy with an eclectic collection of cars in Iowa. Mostly British cars. He buys them and gets them running again and does a bit of racing. Easy going.

Ruairidh MacVeigh : Bit of a mouthful that one. Anyway, a bit of an eclectic look at planes, trains and automobiles, docu style.

Ian Tyrrell's Workshop, Jey Leno's Garage, David Cironi, Harry's Garage and Lamborghini Scenes (clips of long forgotten Euro crime thrillers and drams featuring Miuras, Espadas, Countaches etc in period, it has a high cheese content but is well worth a look).

I spent a couple of hours perusing the contents of 'Wetzel Automobile' at work yesterday, a German dealer in classics with some nicely filmed examples of his wares, 911s, 928s, '60s and '70s BMWs, Alfas and Lancias etc.

If your tastes stretch to automation in the wider sense, Colin Furze is your man. Think bicycles with jet engines, all whilst wearing his pioneering ‘safety tie’ biggrin
