Another Roadkill fan - shame MotorTrend On Demand is not available here. Finnegan has started his own channel which is quite interesting.

Also sub'd to Car Throttle, Jay Leno's Garage (only just started watching), Harry's Garage, and a couple of Crash channels (can't help myself). Also check in on Drive occasionally.

My youtube car based subscriptions are:

PistonHeads TV (is what it says)
Mighty Car Mods (mainly for the challenges like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a56z2SOS9bo&sp... )
Bad Obsession Motorsport (making a Mini GT4 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHvBHWBzzB7NyU5tI... )
Harry's Garage (is what it is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIB5XXHNAWWzTOw6g... )
Petrolicious (fantastic old cars https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgyJPixJl95X1ut3E... )
EVO (magazine videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFwzOXPZKE6aH3fAU... )

A bit variable so I'm not sure it helps.

J Leno's Garage, Harry's Garage, and Petrolicious. I can't be doing with 'Lets off road' crap but Dirty Everyday can sometimes be quite entertaining. Roadkill, despite not necessarily appealing to my kind of motoring interest, is absolutely fantastic as the two protagonists clearly love their subject matter.

Don't think of becoming a youtuber unless you're able to do the following:
- get your daddy to set up a trust fund for you (if he hasn't done that already),
- spend his money on a fancy exotic,
- wrap it in green satin chrome (it's the colour to go for in 2016),
- install a straight pipe somethingTRIX exhaust,
- go to West End on Friday night and rev the fk out of it (in neutral) for no reason whatsoever,
- develop a lisp, or come up with an annoying opening line for your videos,
- and pretend like you're a self made millionaire.
Heyyy guys, Sschhmeeeeee hereeee

I find the car throttle stuff, although was never the height of sophistication, has become really childish and 'fast car'

Nothing TBH.

I occasionally look up a review when something interests me but I don't use YT like most do as some sort of TV replacement by religiously watching specific channels etc.. I've never had a TV so don't really have a void to fill.

Having read through the "Car show - how would you do it?" thread, it seems lots of people, myself included, consume car entertainment in much smaller bites via YT or similar.

So, without descending into some sort of crazed madness about GT vs TG, could we have a list of recommended car shows available via the internet that folks recommend - a bit like the Netflix Gems thread, but just for online car show content.

Have at it.

I prefer Roadkill over Mighty Car Mods until it went behind a paywall. Old episodes are still there though and well worth a watch.

There’s a crossover between roadkill and mighty car mods and you can see it from both sides...Alaska or bust is epic.

I used to love roadkill but unfortunately I cannot afford to pay for yet another service.
I stopped watching mighty car mods as their sense of humour did not align with mine.
Reminds me of another channel though

You can still watch Roadkill for free through MotorTrend on Demand - it's just not on YouTube and needs a separate account. I believe it runs a month behind subscribers.

MotorTrend on Demand is worth a sub if you like Roadkill though, they also do a Roadkill Garage show and Engine Masters, plus access to loads of other bits too. Certainly worth a free trial if they're still doing them.

  • EDIT: Turns out this is no longer the case - MToD is subscription only now sadly

Fully Charged certainly has its moments if you are into EV's.

That mob that are building a MK1 Escort for Gordon Murray. Can't remember their name, helpful eh!

Also, Bad Obsession Motorsport for their Project Binky.

Samcrac used to be good in the US but he never seems to finish anything.
