like most things i go through waves of different types of Youtuber.

But my current mainstay is:

  • Carfection (for Henry Catchpole)
  • 44 teeth
  • Harry M
  • ChargedEV (for Jonny Smith)
  • SeenthroughGlass
The rest i can take or leave it and its good background watching but the content can really vary.

Mr JWW - Like him, can't help but join him in his enjoyment for cars

Seen Through Glass - Find him quite funny

Schmee - Starting to grate on me so much

Harry Metcalfe - Just ace

New favourite - Doug Demuro - He talks to fast and is American but I love him indepth look at the quirks on some great cars, well worth watching

Great to see the love for Harry on here, by far the best for petrolheads, he shows you things no one else does, like the Countach petrol cap!

Carfection is great now Henry's on there, just got to get Jethro & Dickie on too!

Road and race has had some good content too, really enjoyed their Clio 182 series.

Fully charged has some interesting stuff.

Shmee as has been said is mainly lifestyle related, though some stuff is good, the Mille Miglia was superb, and to hear a Gullwing really sing was stunning.

As per OP interested to know what I'm missing (not really as again like the OP I waste too much time!)

Regular Car Reviews
Savagegeese
Straight Pipes
Harry's Garage
Jay Leno's
Carfection (where Henry is basically)
Fully Charged (with Robert L and Johnny from fifth gear)

Sometimes - Mighty Car Mods, Car Throttle

PodCast wise I quite like Autoline After Hours... very US centric but they get some very good guests on there. Like the one I am currently listening to, they got the CEO from Continental USA on to talk hybrids. This isn't a one off either, they seem to have great access to the C-suite of the US auto industry.

Davide Cironi
Petrolicious
Carfection
Autocar and Auto Express (although their content is few and far between these days)
Carwow for the more down to earth stuff.
TheSmokingTire

Living Life Fast has some interesting modified cars but is definitely a PH blood boiler laugh

Shmee150 and Mr JWW have good content and are often one of the first on the scene with new releases etc. Dont care for the 'wealthy mans lifestyle' stuff though.

Rich Rebuilds (formerly Car Guru) - more Tesla conent (mostly) the guy is nuts having rescued and rebuilt flooded Teslas, he is also very entertaining.
Another vote for Rich Rebuilds, he is very very funny, like stand up comedy mixed with messing about with wrecked Teslas.

All the usual suspects (MCM, Binky, Harry, Doug D, Fully Charged, Smith n Sniff etc).

Surprised Autogefühl doesn't get more of a mention, good in-depth (albeit sometimes too much depth) new car reviews with Thomas 'double shoe tap' Majchrzak.

Gordon Murray's Mk1 Escort build from Retropower (retropowercars) is well worth a watch too.

I miss Roadkill + Dirt Everyday... frown

Just watched one of his vids. Sun glasses at night and click bait titles. I'm out.

Big fan of Noriyaro
Really interesting videos , looks at all sides of Japanese car culture and doesn't ask you to like and subscribe!


Jay Lenos Garage.
I really like Jay Lenos channel because he is living the life we would all like to live.
A genuine car nut who has the cash to indulge in his hobby and share it with all of us.


And Chris Harris before Top gear stole him.

VinWiki is the only one I watch regularly enough to name it.


Otherwise search for new stuff and see what comes up

Garage 54 translated into English- if you're interested in whether an engine works with wooden cylinders, or drives with 5 tonnes of cement, look no further, as he has done it for you here.

Winding road magazine also do many POV drives with special binaural microphones to make it sound as if you are sitting in the car. Very nice indeed, they like to thrash their cars, whether its a Honda CRV or Lexus LC 500.

Doug DeMuro gets all his attention, but Tyler Hoover (Hoovie's garage) is great too. He has recently bought a stupidly cheap Ferrari, had a stint with a NSX, and many more interesting yet abused cars.

Surprised Homebuilt By Jeff hasn't been mentioned yet.

I'll mention SOUP Classic Motoring as the production is off the scale and I simply cannot fathom why he hasn't got more followers.

Motor Trend Channel has some great reviews although I can understand you may not like their scripted humour.
