[Closed] Car stuff on YouTube

I like to watch Tavarish, Hoovie's Garage plus the obvious Binky and RetroPower channels. Barn Find hunter can be good (if a little US-centric). If you like F1 then I've recently discovered Josh Revell who does good short films taking the piss out of stuff, has good comedic timing and a dry wit.

salvage rebuilds UK

Proper old fashioned spannering.
Been following his Rangerover Sport engine rebuild.
And re-rebuild.
Seems a proper down to earth guy.

The short CarWow videos with that Matt chap are good too. Some of the drag races are hilarious.

Barn find hunter , on the Hagerty channel 👍

Harry's Garage

If you get Alex (some seem to get annoyed by him) then car throttle does some good videos.

Evo and pistonheads through up the odd good video. COTY is just up

Mighty Car Mods is a bit juvenile even for me, and when they try to go all arty it’s cringeworthy.... but they make the odd good film like their trip to Japan was good.

The best thing about them is their sort of spin-off mates at Skid Factory.

Hoovies and Car Wizard are great, they’re the antidote to the super arrogant types on VinWiki (I know Tyler makes the odd VinWiki but he seems a very nice guy).

Rob Pitts is another VinWiki refugee he’s a super slimy car salesman but very funny with it.

RestoreIt isn’t really a car channel but he’s working on a couple of old 3 series at the moment, it’s the most soothing thing on TV for me, sends me to sleep in a good way. Warning not for people who dislike dentists, he’s sped up vids of grinding sound like drils.

thanks all - will check them out!

If you like old fashioned rebuilds on Alfa's, try Jethro Bonner.

B is for build is pretty good

Driftworks
Cleetus Mcfarland (awesome)
Deboss garage
Samcrac
Bruce Wilson (trucks)
Twinsticks (trucks)

Definitely not Smee or any of the ‘look at all the money I’ve got’ types

I really enjoy Skid Factory... Mighty Mods when it's good can be very watchable, like the supergramps build frinstance, but when it's not it's awful.

Most of it's pay-to-view now but there's some good stuff on Motor Trend... Earlier Roadkill before it got reduced to a formula, and the 2 Garage shows. Always happy to watch Lucky Costa fixing stuff.

Hubnut

Plus one for Harry's Garage. He's got an impressive collection, plus does reviews of new (and old) cars. Also goes an a few road trips, motor bikes as well.

American stuff but still fun and interesting

Dirt Everyday

Roadkill

Finnegans Garage

The short CarWow videos with that Matt chap are good too. Some of the drag races are hilarious.

Yep, CarWow is good - the guy is called Mat Watson and he is very entertaining.

oops, missed an 'R' should be Jethro Bronner

+1 so much more than a bloke "celebrating the average"
His Croatia road trip in his 2CV kept me sane during the late summer.

A vote from me for Lawrie's Mechanical Marvels. Some East Anglean guys featuring healthy doses of working on broken project vehicles, sarcasm at each other's ineptitude and some genuine love for many of the things that they work on and go and see. Oh and bonus locomotives.

Harry’s Garage

and Harry's Farm on the other channel for the tractor and combine stuff, with more computing power than the space shuttle.

Petrolicious 🙂

Are we allowed Motorsport?

At this time of year, it's Dakar time...

I do like a bit of RallyCross

World Rally, the videos aren't great though.

I used to love Roadkill and Dirt Every Day when it was free. Does anyone pay to watch it on Motortrend?

Worth starting at the beginning I suppose, if you've never seen it.

brakes wheels and automobiles
Savage garage

Late Brake Show with Johnny Smith
And from a personal perspective, Lowdown Transporters

M539 restorations

Back in lockdown 1.0 someone posted a link to ViceGripGarage rescueing Independance Chevelle. Whilst some of his stuff gets a bit samey, he know's his onions and has done some really detailed explanations of engine work etc during rebuilds.

Will take a peek at the above too..

FWIW..I rather like MightyCarMods!!

If you want cars, and only have 5 min to kill, just watch a few Neurberg (sp) ring crash compos.... fun. In an "am I evil" way..!!

Proper passionate Italian reviews (often in Italian, buy hey) Davide Cirone

Decent tyre reviews and other stuff. Tyre Reviews

JayEmm on cars has a bit of everything (every day to weird to super cars to classes) and is more of a reviewer.

Junkyard Gold with Steve Magnante. You probably can only see it on Motortrend now, but worth it.

Irish restorer with a frankly amazing love for stop motion.

As an antidote to my wife's evening addiction to endless repair shop/cooking/sewing TV stuff, in order of preference:

Carfection (beautiful videography and commentary - he's an MTBer too)
Throttle house - Good fun with a likable Canadian and English guy - bit heavy on US SUVs
Gordon Murry Automotive
Carwow
Harry's Garage
Tyrell's Classic Workshop
Mighty Car Mods (if in the mood)
Binky
Autocar (presenters knowledgeable but not the best)

I've been watching a lot of Mighty Car Mods. It's easy watching and they have a lot of fun. Even though it's frustrating to watch them work through my personal bucket list of cars doing everything I could never afford to do and then thrashing them on track in glorious sunshine. It's a combination of fun and depression that social media does so well.

Throttle Stop Garage is one that slipped off my radar when Youtube stopped displaying the new episodes for some reason. He's just an old bloke in a freezing cold Canadian garage building a carbon fibre Volvo Amazon. I'll have to get back into it and see how far along he is.

I'm not really bothered about supercars or exotic stuff and I hate the hordes of wannabe car reviewers who blag rides in fast cars and hoon around hooting and hollering. Please go away. I do love watching people fabricating and problem solving.

Petrol Ped too. Prefer the more mature/professional stuff vs the dickheads razzing around in other peoples cars with their draggy boxes calling everyone "bro".

Mr JWW I want to hate him because he's good looking and rich but unlike Shmee, the overgrown schoolboy, he's quite an engaging presenter

Fitzies fabrications.

Proper tinsmith work from a yank with a mental accent

I watched about 30 seconds of one of Schmee's videos before I had the almost overwhelming urge to punch things...Not for me I'm afraid

I forgot Schmee existed to be honest. I blocked him on every platform years ago. Is he still swanning around being an irritating, chinless melt?

Is he still swanning around being an irritating, chinless melt?

Yes. I stumbled across a video of him recently having a tour of some of Richard Rawlings' collection at Gas Monkey. He didn't a clue what he was looking at, just kept giggling at stuff.

Jay Lenos Garage. So much interesting background with insights and stuff. Well produced too.

M539 Restorations
Salvage Rebuilds
Harry’s Garage
Carwow

M539 Restorations. Obvs (?) BMW centric but great quality work. The guy is obsessive about original parts and very satisfying to see him transform the cars back to original. Great editing too.

Salvage Rebuilds is fun. Sort of opposite to M539 - rather more bodge than perfection. Reminds me a bit of a Fast Show sketch sometimes. The mysterious ‘Chris’ does most of the graft and just count how many times Rob can say ‘Nice’ in an episode 😉 But good stuff.

Harry’s Garage is OK, but I find him a bit tediuos. His taste in cars is first class though.

I like Carwow a lot. Matt Watson has prodigious output, all of decent quality.

Tyrell’s classic garage - mostly Italian classics , Ian is a great presenter and really knows his cars.
