Surely that is a reason for a ban ?

I also find him dull. Maybe its an age thing (I'm 39), to be honest I get no enjoyment out of watching any channel that just reviews cars that I am likely never going to drive myself.

Likewise. I'm 64 and also have no interest in cars I will never own and that are impractical for any use I would need them for. I prefer channels such as Vice Grip Garage, Pole Barn Garage and Junkyard Digs. For me the cars featured on these channels are far more interesting and the presentation much more engaging. Each to their own though.

You have a practical need for a rusty American land yacht?

Yes I do, I drive a 20 year old Chevrolet Avalanche. Its the most useful vehicle I have ever owned. Its mid gate gives it a practicality that no Japanese or European pick up can match. It also has a towing limit way above any of these pickups too, something I need regularly. So that is exactly why I said each to their own.

The old folk won’t like this.

He's not Whistlin Diesel.

Not sure what some people expect.

Instant gratification. A modern malaise

I'm with him on the Morgan one.

He drove on a small slow road while telling me he couldn't see over the bonnet when going over humps. Then went home.

I'm 32 and enjoy his channel very much, don't think age has anything to do with it. More just we all gel with different things and that's alright. Admittedly there is a strange sort of pseudo-deification of Harry that seems to go on a lot of the time.

Indeed. Big fan of Harry and Morgans, but the narrow pass was just a boring road. The rest of the video was interesting, going to the lakes, visiting the Bluebird museum (even if the actual Bluebird was not there).

Houston is back! Scored big on this one, was quite intense at the auction.

[PT1984]

STG is back on form with the T S/T video. One of his first where I felt he had authority of his critique.

Still too much gesticulation.

I know people here have thing for youtubers dads but Becky's dad is the best one imo.

Pretty much just Backy and her dad talking about what he used to do.

I like his road trips as I feel one day I would like to replicate them. A few days trip up to the lakes sounds wonderful and I enjoyed the video overall. I found the car and the slow road a painful watch not because it was boring, but because the car sounded awful and Harry was clearly in physical discomfort as it creaked and rattled over those potholes at 5 miles an hour.

On balance though, I am finding his regular car reviews rather dull and formulaic. The same comments on the same roads is a little dull. Although I see the logic behind removing all other variables when reviewing.

Anyway.. the YouTube world is better for Harry in it than not.. so can’t complain really.

Or, like me, you can enjoy both! I'm 34 and have enjoyed Harry's videos since the evo Diaries back in 2011/2. Took me a little while longer to warm to WD but can't miss his content now.

I’m super jealous of Whistlin Diesel’s new driveway. Well his whole property to be fair.
