Wish i was in a Ramen Shop Counter
Thought I start a thread on this YouTube Channel that i came across a while back when Top Gear was off the screen. I have since subscribed and I find their content to be one of the best if not the best motor shows on YT. I actually much prefer it to the current Top Gear...by milesssssssssssss. It is well balanced, up to date with the latest cars, with lots of classic cars, technical stuff like stripping and installing an engine to a muscle car, or converting a 4x4 to a monster truck or head to head with 2 similar sports cars.

The show is american so it is geared towards that market but there are plenty of European cars too. and yeah, who needs Top Gear?




 
I watch Road Kill and hot rod garage religiously.

They have their own streaming site which they say is basically netflix for cars. I havent tried it out yet.
 
I subscribed to Motor Trend on Demand! Well worth the money! The latest Roadkill on there with the Stubby Bob V8 is amazing!
 
Mighty car mods channel is really entertaining. Sure it can be a bit childish, but the concept is solid and they make some fun cars and do some interesting mods/tests!
 
I subscribe on YouTube and watch a lot of their stuff. Roadkill is of course excellent, but the Head to Heads and other stuff are also worth a watch.

I havent yet explored Motor Trend on Demand.
 
Big fan of Hot rod Garage, Engine masters, Roadkill. The rest of the stuff is a bit boring and tbh RK is a shadow of it's former self these days. The new Finnegans Garage show is quite good too. Love V8's, classic Americana, drag racing, and those guys on there have a real deep knowledge and true passion for it which shows.
New cars just aren't interesting.
 
I love Motor Trend. Genuinely one of the best if not the best content providers for petrolheads. The chemistry between the current presenters is fantastic too.

This vid is worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet:

I watch more on YT than though Virgin cable. I still cant decide if I prefer to use my phone and beem in by Apple TV or use the Youtube app on the Virgin box. There are pros and cons of each.
 
The Stubby Bob Roadkill episode is one of the best I've seen! The latest project car they dug out on the newest episode on Motor Trend looks like it has potential
 
Another one to add to the collection is Petrolicious not as much in the way of frequent content as some other channels like TheSmokingTire and it's more arty stuff but I love me some retro metal and it's shot so beautifully it's a great relaxing watch :cool:
