Couple more that I don't think have been mentioned:

- Hoovies Garage
- The Barnfind Hunter (via Hagerty's YT channel)
- Doug DeMuro (although bit marmite)

Most of my regular channels have already been mentioned:

Jay Leno's Garage
Harry's Garage
Petrolicious
Carfection
Goodwood Road & Race
Hagerty's Barnfind Hunter
Motor Trend - esp. the Retro Reviews

Many of the major car mags have decent, regular content:

Autocar, EVO, Road & Track, Car & Driver, Sport Auto, etc.

Also subscribe to (amongst many others):

Fifth Gear - most of their back catalogue of full episodes is available on their official channel.
Top Gear - amongst the television clips is the occasional new Chris Harris On Cars, just like his old, pre-TG vids.
Lovecars - Tiff Needell's regular home on YT.
RegularCars - you'll either get it, or not...
Davide Cirone Drive Experience - a sort-of less-polished Chris Harris-ish. In Italian with subtitles.

I will add this one as there is car related builds, it's some crazy Dutch group (turn the subtitles on) - https://www.youtube.com/user/mastermilo82/videos

They do car things but the latest toy is a rusty old tank which I think is too far gone but they are doing the engine for something - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI32WUfkqtg

I think Car Throttle is the largest UK based car channel, has 6 million subscribers on their Facebook page!

Despite having access to some incredible cars, Jay Leno can make for very dull viewing sometimes.
Mind you, I enjoy the CarWow new car reviews with Mat Wotsisname, so my opinion probably isn't to be trusted.

I started watching Tavarish when took on the Twin turbo Lambo project. Interesting watching him strip and rebuild all the mechanical side of it. Not so keen on his latest stuff 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.
How do you do that? I can only see options to subscribe?

I know it's already been mentioned, but Mighty Car Mods is the correct answer.

Their 2sexy vs Twi5ted series has been highly entertaining, much better than any offering from TGT or Top Gear.

Agreed and I love their feature length 'movies' when they usually go to Japan and do some road trip etc, very well done imo.

I now want a Nissan March Super Turbo for the noise it makes after watching the latest one laugh

Its such a cool little car that most people would never have heard of, looking forward to see what else they do with it.

Have you seen the older ones they did before? Kei to the city etc, they are also very good.

They have had so many cool cars over the years, but Moog's Mini and 240z are just awesome!
