Seat Leon with some serious power on LLF:

The speed at which he passed that car at the 16:23 mark is staggering.

I have driven plenty of relatively high hp (300+) hatchbacks and at no single point did I think, yeah this car needs double the power.

Indeed... must admit, I gulped when I heard he'd splashed £30k on it... each to their own I guess.

I makes more sense in a S3 or Golf R chassis.... less so in a FWD. It will just light up the tyres for fun. Even with 300bhp and FWD it can be challenging to use all the power.

Poor chap is getting a real pasting on YouTube comments:


"That fast it blew his teeth out"

"Looks like he sold most his teeth to help pay for the mods"

"Nice car but no teeth? - Jezuz"

"Ma dude pls sell the car and fix your teeth"

I get some absolutely savage comments on my videos, and they're technical education videos. You have to laugh it off. In fact, I post the most creative insults to my instagram as they're so funny (then cry quietly in the corner...)

One of your video's convinced me to change tyres - very educational and sometimes expensive smile

YouTube comments are often bloody brutal; some are quite funny but it really does seem to bring the worst out in people (more so than forums etc)/

I don't think there's much need to go in on someone's appearance like that personally, he came across as a decent enough guy (aside from the silly speeds...)

Anybody heard of or watch Throttle House?
It's my favorite car channel at the minute. Really good content.
Agreed, one my current favourite channels. James and Thomas are doing a cracking job.

SOUP is a vastly underrated channel - I'm not looking back through 500 pages in the thread to check if it's been mentioned before, but much more wholesome than rich kids with hypercars on finance.

Highlight is a 90 minute stop motion video of a RR restoration that's perfect for a Sunday morning.
Agreed its amazing production

Slightly sort of on topic, but does anyone else hate the new YouTube layout? It just seems to be a lash up of any old videos, some, kind of related to my viewing history.

Jon - I haven't seen your latest video yet but you were responsible for me sticking Cross Climate+ tyres on my Lexus last year. They're a really good tyre, they worked in last years snow even survived a track day!

Also persuaded me to put Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSports on my 4C, despite minimal reviews/information elsewhere

Yep, I did Mallory Park in my IS250. Wasn't going to waste a day I had booked when my track toy was broken. They hung on suprisingly well considering it was Mid July, the brakes went off before the tyres! We did get hammered by 16 year olds in C1 race cars though...
