Only car channel I watch regularly is Mighty Car Mods. THink its mainly because their sense of humor appeals to me and theyre into similar cars as myself :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

I stopped following them as it got really repetitive and a little boring, but it seems they have some commercialized shows now on TV or something? 

This is my go to in no order:

 

Vinwiki: Good for killing time and listening to some pretty cool stories. Ed is annoying though. Typical sales guy..
ChrisFix: Has good tips and shows how to do things well. No random pesky Scotty traits, Endorses safety and quality products.
Garage 54 English: Russians who seem like really cool blokes just test anything on a Lada the mind can think of, Really worth the watch.
HooviesGarage: Good for watching someone waste their time and money on cars no one else would, just general antics.
MotorTrend/HotrodMag/Roadkill/TST/ /Drive: Good for commercialized youtube shows, they produce good content.
1320Video: Great for watching people stay awake for the entire drag week (Craaack), super rich idiots waste money, good coverage none the less.

 

Side notes: 
DonutMedia: I don't need to know what children think of cars, I was one recently.. 
Super car chasers should be moved to another part of the internet. 

 

There are some guys who are Kiwi/Au/US who live in Japan who do videos of drifting and the culture, find your preference as it comes down to the person. 

 

Garage 54 wins hands down. They are just too good. 

 

 

 

Can you now subscribe to the Motor Trend shows? I used to watch the Ignition and Head 2 Head episodes when they were 'free to air' on YouTube.

 

When they first went behind the paywall, the content wasn't available to NZ or Australia, which annoyed a lot of people.

 

The channels i follow, in no particular order, are:

 

AutoCar UK, Matt Prior & Dan Prosser present the bulk of these films.

 

Carfection, Henry Catchpole & Drew Stearne present here. Also has films from Alex Goy & Rory Reid

 

Harry's Garage, films from Harry's personal collection, or loaners

 

Mr JWW, British vlogger like Seen through glass or Shmee, but also does some of the lifestyle of where he's travelling. Also a partner in bringing NVN Motorworks (of Dubai) to London to rival Topaz detailing

 

Shmee150, 

 

LoveCars, Hosted by Tiff Needell & Paul Woodman

 

CarAdvice, Review's out of Australia, and worldwide launches

 

EVO TV, Has gone a bit quiet of late.

 

Chris Harris on cars, his videos are now back to going directly onto YouTube, on the Top Gear channel, instead of being embedded on the main Top Gear page.

Mighty Car Mods got picked up by discovery in a small capacity, like re-airing older content.

 

This is not really a go to list but some other channels that may be worth a nosey.

 

mcmtv2 has the skid factory which is has fantastic build series. 

 

Cleetus Mcfarland - drag racing and shenanigans. 

 

Eric The Car guy - mainly repair videos but also has custom build.

 

Bad Obsession Motorsport - epic mini build

 

Toms Turbo Garage 

 

Deboss Garage - Lots of Diesel stuff but also a crazy 90's audi build.

To the previous poster who mentioned Bad Obsesion Motorsport.

This +1,000!!

What they have done to that Mini is insane. I’ve been the following the project for 4+ years now.

Some others not already mentioned.
