Weekend Watches
Hopefully the weekend is a good time to sit back and catch up with what you've missed over the week. Here's a selection of some great videos, or at least videos I like.
Dave Zalstein - 1977 Porsche 911
Dave spends time with Hugh Feggans and his restomodded 1977 Porsche 911. It's a great video where both Dave and Hugh geek out over the work done to this gorgeous old machine.
Dave is a tremendous bloke who has a had a pretty rough couple of years but it hasn't stopped him from getting out and having a crack at his own channel. If you ask me, I want more of this and I'm a bit jealous he thought of this format first.
What's even better is that watching this video means that all proceeds go to mental health charities.
ReDriven - Used Euros We'd Actually Buy
ReDriven is a fantastic used car review and advice channel that has grown rapidly over the past couple of years.
This is a great video where ReDriven host Adam and resident mechanic Jim go through the European used cars they'd actually buy. ReDriven - like The Redline - is completely independent and does not rely on advertising from car companies to support them, so the opinions are unvarnished truth.
It also helps that the first car is one of my all-time favourites, the Ford Fiesta ST.
We love being ad-free, so why not chuck a few bucks our way?
Addicted to Sliding - Ioniq 5 N Ultimate Street Car Challenge
Scotty Newman – legend of MOTOR Magazine and more recently Carsales – has a YouTube channel called Addicted to Sliding (as well as an Instagram channel of the same name).
Some doofus upstairs at Carsales decided he was surplus to requirements (along with other excellent folks) so I think the only reasonable thing to do is make sure his YouTube channel pops (he is also part of the Friday Drive team at Lorbek).
Here we see Scott have a whale of a time at the Ultimate Street Car Challenge at Calder Park in the hugely fun (and powerful) Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.
Ruairidh MacVeigh - The Car That Nearly Killed BMW
Despite Ruairidh's enthusiastic use of the passive voice, his stuff is fascinating. This is an oldie but a goodie, detailing BMW's travails producing the beautiful 507.
(just quietly, look at the size of the damn grille)
And that's it for this week.
