Unsubscribed a few weeks back as I could see how the channel was going to pan out, no surprises with another BMW project
Every now and again I have a cull of my subscriptions, this post has encouraged me to do this again.

EvilGT, AutoAlex V2 and Car Throttle have now gone, I thought about TDC but it can stay for now.

Yet again. Savagegeese have produced an excellent video with the Vantage. It’s like a mini documentary.

hehe yes Taylor supplied one just in case.

Considering all the mods the car has, the drive belt was that was the one thing I was worried about on the first drive home. So far it seems to be fine, but I check it regularly
Temp gauge not working? Initialky thought you'd just started but when you were giving it the beans out the back of Wakering I noticed it was still showing cold? Looks like a lot of fun too.

Don't need to answer at all (I won't be offended!) but would it be vulgar to ask what you pad for it? It's had some very classy work done to it, engine internals etc.

Took me a few videos to get into them, but yes I think their reviews are some of the best. Throttle House are quite different, but also up there for my favourite reviewers.

As somebody mentioned the F1 and T50 video above, Hagerty continues to produce generally great content, but some of the presenters I struggle with a little. I do enjoy Cammisa though.

Good video but skipping across grass isn't a crash.

I don't even mind the colour!

Yeah it’s a bit wonky at the moment, sometimes it works, others times it doesn’t. Likely a loose connection somewhere. I’m hoping it’s not too hard to sort but with two ECUs etc it might be a bit of effort to sort.

£6,900 was the price, which I thought was fair considering the work done on the car. The unmodified car would be £2-3k so £4k for the mods and all the tuning seemed ok to me.

Not wishing to upset the applecart but Taylor paid £650 for it.

(That is what they said in the video)

He did, but then he’s put a load of work into it since then. And just because someone bought it for price x, doesn’t mean it’s available for that price.

I saw a 718 GT4 in it on Sunday, looked lovely. Would I be brave enough to pick over my white/gold spec? No hehe

Never understood the love for Ruby stone myself but have to say that it did quite good on the MA GT3.

Yes I'd say that wasn't excessive at all, as you say considering the works done. New brakes, clutch, wheels, tyres, exhaust, engine work, seats, cage etc etc. It's track ready, and it takes a child seat. Boxes ticked.

EvitGT was an interesting one. It obviously wasn't making money so Ben got a job and Lee seems to be going it alone on his own channel now with his Yaris and other cars. He's fortunate enough to have done very well prior to Youtube so I suspect it doesn't really have to pay for him to carry on.

Shame, as I liked the channel and they seem like good blokes.

I liked EvilGt. I was hoping it would work with Ben managing his own cars. I didnt like his mechanic though, miserable sod.
