  1. I watched Car SOS with the Audi quattro last night! Nice program! They turned this rotting quattro that had been set for ten years...


    Into this so that the owner could enjoy it again before he died due to illness. I thought it was quite a touching thing to do to help someone fulfill one of their dreams which they got so close to doing but couldn't quite grasp it because of illness!

  2. That's great!
  3. It doesn't go very far into how they restore it, but they do let you know some of the things they managed to get for it and what they had to fix. It was still a good show though, and they drove some other Audis in between which was great too, and it's nice that the original owner has his original car to go back to!

  4. Sounds like a show in the US called Garage Squad. Its not a bad show.

  5. I think there are lots of similar things like that, they are pretty good but I don't think they go that deep into restoration really :p

  6. Finally, a new DiRT Rally video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu5a-_i6CDE

    This time, I take the rear wheel drive Opel Manta 400 around the Flugzeugring stage in Germany :) Enjoy! This is the first video after which I've started using my wheel instead of the keyboard, and we now have 200 subs! Thanks everyone!

  7. Nice! YouTube is a fun thing to do!
  8. Thanks, but what are you trying to say? It's a nice thing to upload to? To watch videos on? To upload and watch my videos on? You liked the video? :D
  9. Okay, let me phrase more exact and complete ;)
    I liked the video, which is why I commented on the video and gave it a like. I also like how you've got 200 subscribers. The "Nice!" here was including both.
    Then, as a general statement about the same subject, I stated how much I like doing YouTube myself (as in, uploading videos to it and getting a feel of community around your (as in 'their', not specifically yours) channel).
    Good? ;)
  10. Thanks, that's a bit more constructive now ;)

    I see your comment and gave it a like, YouTube can be fun, and a community is always nice too. Getting a following that want to see your content is always great. I enjoy making these videos and watching them back as well and it's great that other people can enjoy that too.

  12. I finally edited the Volvo pictures! :D
    What do you think? :D



    I hope it isn't a problem that the license plate is readable?

  13. Very nice station wagon, I like it! It's probably not the best on fuel consumption due to its age, but it has class, and to some people, that's what really matters when it comes to cars! I think old Volvos are nice, the safety features that Volvo added and the simple class that they had are neat touches to their older designs :)

    No worries about the license plate, more than nine times out of ten it doesn't matter - especially if it's a car that your family had!

  14. My new Castle Combe video is out! First of the year! Make sure you check it out here, lots of great cars!

  15. Bump for those who haven't seen the new video yet! Enjoy! :)
  16. Any thoughts or improvements on the video? I was fairly happy with it, I think I'm getting better with the focus :)
  17. At Spring Performance Action Day, Castle Combe, 2016, I got to ride in a car around the track! A red BMW E30 M3, pay an amount to charity and you get to have a few laps around the circuit! It's the first time I went around the track in a car which wasn't drifting, and it was awesome. Check the car out!

  18. Right when I noticed the format of the licence plates in Italy, I set myself a mission... I knew I'd succeed, if I looked at every number plate I encountered. I mean, it's a chance of 1 in 1000... and then I was also trying to find one not moving while not moving myself either, so I could take a picture. With enough determination, I was able to do it. This makes me happy.
