Your favourite motoring YouTubers

Someone turned me on recently to a little known motoring youtuber, who I enjoy, and it got me thinking. There must be huge amounts of good stuff out there waiting to be discovered...

With that I thought I'd share my recent favourite motoring youtuber, post an example video, tell you what I like, and ask you to do the same:

I've picked SavageGeese. This guys style is dry and understated, but he can be funny all the same. He is a one man show and puts insane effort into his production. In one vid he claimed it takes him 10+ hours to edit a single video, so many are the cameras, shots he uses. All cars get put under a ramp, and he shoots the breeze about build, features, etc... with his mechanic buddy. Best part is he's middle aged, no annoying tweens here!

Wish we got the IS350 here, instead of the crappy 300H.

I've posted links a few times before but Regular Car Reviews always gives me a laugh.

Volvo 240 could be my fave, probably NSFW

Another vote for Regular Car Reviews

Also like Motor Week retro reviews

Jay Leno's garage is interesting too

B is for Build. Not really watching that these days

Mighty Car Mods. Again not into it these days as they've gotten more money and sponsorship etc.

Petrolicious is one on my favourites.

Will get some slack for this, but I find myself watching Solomondrin most days on lunch, episodes are hit and miss but they have some serious metal and they're fun guys to watch.

I love those guys. I also tend to watch mostly vloggers like Seen Through Glass and Shmee150.

There was an episode a few weeks back where he was off his nuts, everyone was commenting on it. :pac:

Seen Through Glass chap is an utter ****, hate the smug bastard. Ever see the video in his "mates" E46 M3? Shows what a real bollix he is.

Ciano35 · 21-01-2017 10:03PM

Bad Obsession Motorsport are brilliant.

That could be any of them to be honest. Which one are you talking about?

I know, I watch it for the cars moreso that the people.

He changed the 675LT to the 675LT Spider

Also has the Mercedes AMG GT R & The New Ford GT on order

I do enjoy some of Bob Flavin's stuff.

I'm really growing to like Vehicle Virgins. Its a channel that is progressively getting better IMO.

Doug DeMuro - I know, I know

And this channel for old episodes of Top Gear from the 90s/early 00s.

I'm not really one for the Shmee-style vlogs about super cars. I have watched a few of Doug DeMuro's videos but his voice is a bit grating.

Aside from Bad Obsession and Mighty Car Mods I usually just watch the ones below.

MarekDrives - Car reviews in Polish & English. Nice and concise and a bit of humour in there. Good productions. If you liked Bob Flavin's reviews you'd probably like this.
Autogefühl - Based in Germany but with English reviews. Long detailed car reviews (30+ mins) with great detail. Ideal if you want to know more than your average review tells.
Jehu Garcia - U.S. based covering EV conversions, battery technology, classic VWs, cameras, photography, etc.
Robert Llewellyn's Fully Charged - U.K. based covering EVs, renewable energy, etc.

Oh god, scotty Kilmer, I can't watch him.

GustavoFring · 22-01-2017 12:35PM

Shmee150, superspeedersrob (he's annoying though), the stradman, Mr JWW (another bell end but his Audi is savage) any of Arthur Tussik channels just to see death traps but my favourite is Jay Lenos garage. Also a few of the Russian car crash channels.

166man · 22-01-2017 12:47PM

The Miniature Scenes/ Viva La Vlog is one to watch alright. Irish channel too, local talent like!

But I like him...informative with no BS.

Only thing I've ever learned from his videos is that I shouldn't buy any Merc ever because they're all fun of expensive computers that will break.

And the weird way Americans pronounce "celica"

Carthrottle?

polan · 22-01-2017 08:45PM

CarThrottle - I'm a fan of Alex and their videos.
Polscy Kierowcy - Polish Dash Cam Videos.
superspeedersRob - he's a douche, but a likeable douche.
Shmee150 - Got to meet him in person, really sound chap, like his cars and videos as well.
mastermilo82 - Crazy Dutch SOB. Built tonnes of crazy stuff, totally love it!
SaabKyle04 - I've been a subscriber since 2010. He's really come far since! I watch his videos from time to time if there's something interesting there.

colm_mcm · 22-01-2017 09:28PM

Smith and Sniff is very good. They've only got a handful of videos though
It's your man off fifth gear and the guy that writes Sniff Petrol.

The roadkill episodes of motor trend are unmissable for me, if you like American classics and the challenges from top gear of old you'll like this. The off roading fella isn't bad too.

Used to love superspeedersrob but he went down in my books when he started vlogging a few months back.

I've subscribed to dozens of motoring related YouTubers but I find myself losing interest very quickly, roadkill is the only one I've stuck with.
