Tavarish


I dont enjoy people doing reviews/talking about the latest unafordable supercar, would rather watch people actually build something.

I'll drop into JayEmm on cars and might sometimes follow a connection to someone he has done a double video with.

I've been watching a few videos by Nick Massey about his 911 ownership experience recently, interesting if you might be wanting to buy a 991.1 or .2

SOUP - awesome projects and great can-do attitude
Seconding this - it should be way more popular. He has 26 well-produced episodes up now of great stop-motion restoration, interesting interviews and other stuff. One of the very few motoring things (Bad Obsession Motorsport is the other) I donate to on patreon.
Thirded. Production quality is amazing and I love all his home made everything.

Straight Pipes - they could review a Dacia Logan and make it entertaining

Tesla Time News - maybe a bit on the Tesla fanboy side but I like to keep up with the EV world news and I the father-son team entertaining

Fully Charged - similar to above but UK/Euro focussed

Rich Rebuilds (formerly Car Guru) - more Tesla conent (mostly) the guy is nuts having rescued and rebuilt flooded Teslas, he is also very entertaining.

Roadkill (although they've stopped YT now I think?)

I watch the above for the car content and the fact they look to be having genuine fun. I'm not into drifting, although I can appreciate good car control in any discipline. The first 3 are just decent blokes and they don't tell you the price as soon as they mention anything.

TGE I watch for fashion tips.

MCM, as has been mentioned a few times already.
...and not to forget our very own Mudnomad, if you like a bit of travel mixed in with car content. Really well put together vids smile

DannyDC2 (fellow Yorkshireman, not a nob).
JayEmm (very Jeremy Clarksony imo, but appears to treat owners cars with respect).
LeeLockwood (A bit chavvy, 2p and walnut whip style budget, but seems to have a laugh and does his own work. Not actually sure why I watch as I disliked him massively when I first came across his channel).

Shmee - the odd moment, but I do find him quite grating sometimes

Mr JWW - I do not mind it, but his style of presentation and the start of his videos are a problem point for me.

SOL/TGE/Archie and the rest - avoid in general, I would rather stick pins in my eyes (although if forced I will watch a video by Paul of SOL)

Forensic detailing - generally quite informative and good videos, even if I do not 100% agree with some of it.

Larry @ Ammo NYC - Love it and have done for a while. Shame that getting Ammo kit over here is a marathon.

Harry - one of the absolute peaches IMO. Probably my favourite I just wish he would do more videos.

Jay Leno - Another favourite

Doug DeMuro - I do like Doug, but I can see why people would not like his style. A very personal choice, and it does appear more people dislike his style than like it.

AutoVlog - always an interesting one.

It is hard not to pass judgement though that in "general" beyond Harry for pure automotive content and not detailing content I think the Yanks do it better. Most of our lot as said above our more "lifestyle" than actually the cars. But rather like the threesome of JC, JM and RH that tends to get better results.

Add Street Bandito to your list gents, great build of a major 240z upgrade by genuine enthusiasts, not just in it for youtube hits like most of them these days.

Very well put together series by the entire team involved, both in front of and behind the camera.

Harry's Garage - I've lost count of the number of times I've watched his two Espada clips, they're just brilliant. As already aid above he just gets on with it and has the right balance of knowledge and interest.

Jay Leno's Garage - passion, knowledge and plenty of variety, the same as Harry really but even more so.

Petrolicious - beautifully done without being overdone, on some great subjects.

Davide Cironi - I could watch / listen to this channel all day long, despite the subtitles.

My Classic Car - plenty of passion and variety here too.

I tried to watch Seen Through Glass, never again!

No doubt I would feel the same about Shmee or anything of that type of 'lifestyle' car bloggers if I ever tried to watch them.

I do like Carfection stuff, Harry's Garage, Bad Obsession Motorsport and Jayemm though.

MCM's latest series on their 240z build is the best one they've done IMO and is worth a watch.
I disagree on that, the 240z build is going to be an awesome car, but all the engine conversion episode could just as easily been skid factory on mcmtv2, and it is quite far from the average petrolhead in terms of resources and capabilities that it kind of loses its relevance.

I loved their $3000 turbo shoot-out season, and the stuff around tay-tay and the other project cars, most of that is much more accesible and relevant for the average aspiring PH
