Virtual PistonHeads events
Discussion
It's fair to say we're pretty glum about not being able to host any events right now and for the foreseeable future. As a result, we're considering what we might be able to organise virtually instead in the absence of Sunday Services.
These may or may not be possible, but some initial thoughts include:
We're very keen to gather thoughts from what would usually be a very busy Sunday Service community to understand how we can potentially fill a void and what the appetite could be.
Over to you!
These may or may not be possible, but some initial thoughts include:
- Factory tours
- Q&A sessions with racing drivers/engineers/people of interest
- 'How to' sessions, such as car detailing and suspension set up
- Filming popular cars from our Readers' Cars forum and interviewing members
- Car buying agony aunt sessions with tips from our team on what cars you could consider buying to meet your criteria
We're very keen to gather thoughts from what would usually be a very busy Sunday Service community to understand how we can potentially fill a void and what the appetite could be.
Over to you!
Thank you for the feedback all so far! I think I am leaning towards us putting more effort into slick video production that can be enjoyed at any time, and that feels like the general consensus here.
We've been toying with the idea of filming Readers' Cars for a very long time and had in fact started to line up some crackers earlier this year in March before covid hit. So watch this space...
This is where the content will live, although we'll definitely be putting it on the homepage too as we do with all of our feature videos.
More feedback/ideas very welcome!

You’re YouTube site is crying out for some readers cars content...you’re missing a trick here. I’m talking unusual and interesting cars. Not you’re typical new car reviews that can be found all over the inter web!!! Pistonheads has a plethora of fantastic readers cars to choose from that are actually....interesting! I’ll be the first to throw my hat into the ring if you want to film a VERY interesting car for your channel!
Quite right, glad you think so too. As per my post above, I've wanted to make Readers Cars videos for years but have never had the resource/budget to do it. I finally got the go-ahead at the start of this year and then it all fell apart due to coronavirus. I'm hoping to pick this up again though next year so please feel free to PM me with more details.Gassing Station | Events & Meetings | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
