I can't speak a word of Italian but I think my favourite automotive YT channel at the moment is Davide Cironi.
Gets some obscure stuff on, nice scenery, surprisingly good production quality and he's even had an EB110 on...
Many thanks for the heads up as I've now watched a couple of his videos and Im quite enjoying them.Gets some obscure stuff on, nice scenery, surprisingly good production quality and he's even had an EB110 on...

There was literally no info about the car. I genuinely thought ‘ah, this will be good, Tom doing an actual review’, but sadly no... c’mon TGE, you could have done a good review with your humour in there (you must still read this)
I agree he could of done it so well but didn't, like he was along for the ride. I watched the video picking up the lambo. Well I say watched, I got as far as the person who actually bought it was introduced & he was annoying as f**k so off it went.If they did surely the marketing team have to wonder what value they got from his short video telling and showing us so little.
I haven't yet unsubscribed but I don't watch his content as quickly as I once did.

Indeed, although plenty of the traditional print magazine will probably only do a half-page "First Drive" review of the GRMN from the same event.If they did surely the marketing team have to wonder what value they got from his short video telling and showing us so little.

I guess the value is having someone such as TGE saying that he actually wants to buy one with his own money. It's a great endorsement to have an aspirational character with an impressive car history say he wants to get one but can't get his hands on one, despite being able to get an early Mclaren 720s and Performante.

If I was Toyotas marketing team I'd be more worried about STG and his comments about the Toyota brand in his video. Comments better fitting for something like the Kia Stinger GT rather than a Toyota imo.
The guy who grinds my gears though most, like all these s
tbox vloggers...
is living life fast...
he drives all these tuned chav financed vehicles, recklessly fast on public roads..and the worst part is how much he rates him self as a driver given by when hes flat out he has the cam pointed at himself while he's 'concentrating' on not binning it...
the message he is sending out to young guys and girls out there to be driving cars obscenely quick with no regard to safety.. and when hes taking a tuned 140i absolutely flat into 4th gear it takes no rocket scientist to know hes well up to 120mph + on 60mph zones.
living life fast.. should be about funding himself in tin tops or some lo cost racing on circuits and sharing the experience with others. i'm sorry but the guy is a total prick. rant over.

Didn’t quite get to watch all of Danny’s video yesterday but I’m contemplating pinching his alloy wheels ??
I was just impressed the socket and hammer trick actually worked. Every time I've tried that the things have been on too tight for the thread to give before the socket slips.I have some of those special sockets that cut into the head like a left hand threaded die, they work ok most of the time (though getting the nut/bolt out of then afterwards is a bugger), my other go-to technique is to weld something with a normal hex on so I can use a regular socket.
I was surprised it worked too! Fully expected to have a very bad time with that.
Sacking that car off though, it's too far gone for a daily driver. Needs either restoring or drifting, neither of which I can be arsed with.
Getting a much more sensible daily at the weekend that I won't have to piss about with so much.

Hmmm, little hints here and there, keeping the next car quiet with all to be revealed at the weekend - smells like clickbait bullsSacking that car off though, it's too far gone for a daily driver. Needs either restoring or drifting, neither of which I can be arsed with.

A what? A who? Aspirational to whom exactly? The guy flips cars as soon as he's signed the pcp paperwork and drives them at 20mph in Knightsbridge with the exhaust flaps open? Who is that meant to impress? Kids, that's who and they have no money for cars as they're too busy paying £80pm for an iPhone X. The millenials only appear to be interested in looking at cars (and stuff) on YouTube or Instagram, not actually owning them, let alone driving or experiencing them. This whole social media phenomenon of bloggers and vloggers influencing people is one big load of vacuous dog poop and I can't waitfor it to end. They're not role models, they're spoiled brats with an ego, nothing more. Rant over.

Is this where they experience ownership, driving etc THROUGH the influenza? After all, we all aspire to overpriced / overrated super cars and expensive watches that tell us important things like the month, to a depth of 100 metres. Obviously those of us that don't are just jealous.

Are you selling it?
Should be able to get of your money back I would have thought.
