I'll throw in a couple not yet mentioned:

Jethro Bronner : South African guy who restores classic Alfas.

Cold War Motors: Western Canadian goofballs messing around with weird Canadian versions of cars from the 50s and 60s. Currently restoring a 1967 Citroen DS and a 1960 Plymouth Fury. Lots of rust repair and bodywork, excellent workmanship.

Looping the line serves two purposes:
1. The loop will create a drip point for water so it wont follow the line and enter the caliper.
2. Provides extra brake line for future work or repairs.

3. It can hold up the non-existent exhaust

The Cleetus character can be annoying, but they do build interesting cars. They have too much money, but at least they don't built yet another Lambo or exotic. I mean, they bought a fleet of P71s to bash around the racetrack for Pete's sake. How can you not appreciate that? (The Vette kart is named Leroy.)

I was a bit worried when those weird rear end 'burn rubber for christ' guys got involved with the track but fortunately they've barely been featured.

Also buying an old hovercraft and driving it round in your alligator infested back yard is absolutely my idea if the American dream.

Personally, I find the <Insert thing I like to do anyway> For Christ folks to be vaguely annoying at best, but hey, they can burn rubber all they want. Deeds not words - no proselytizing or preaching.

And yes to hovercraft, as long as it’s not full of eels.

Finnegans Garage I find more miss than hit. Some of his videos can be so boring unless he has someone else to work off with.

The one with the Jeep on its side halfway down a ravine was pretty high on the pucker factor. I would not have crawled under that thing for love nor money.

That one is awesome, I never thought they'd get it out safely. Once they started showing the columns that were holding up the road I thought no way. I watched that one twice, once when I first started watching that channel then again the other day

I'm digging this channel recently. Normal guy, doing Jeep things around Canada with his friends. Some pretty well edited footage in the later videos and I don't find him annoying.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSYfpT-hQRBeujVwHEMEsww

I also enjoy Flying Sparks Garage. The two people who run the channel have a few project cars and so a lot of motor swaps for friends in their garage.

Both of these channels are a lot of fun. I agree that Matt's Off-road Recovery is a fantastic channel and love when he posts new videos.

Silver lining: if the USPS does go away, that means the LLVs will probably be sold off cheap. The LLV is on a Chevy S-10 frame. There are kits to put a small-block V8 in an S-10. You can get at least 400hp out of a Chevy 350 these days without cutting a hole in the hood for a blower.

Sure, the LLV is a deathtrap above 45mph, but ...

I too hope that democracy in America is destroyed if that means we can have a bunch of 30 year old S-10s to swap Chevy 350s into, an outrageous and novel swap that will make me the talk of Woodward Ave.

Hey, if it's going to destroy itself anyway, you've got to find the pearls where you can.

And someone has already done the swap, more than once.

I like that on that one he used deeper-offset wheels on the front to get the track the same (the LLV uses a 2WD S10 front, of course, but they used a 4x4 rearend, presumably so they could make the cargo area wider.)

LOL: 0-60 in a stock LLV:

I hope to hell he didn't try running the motor with antifreeze in it

Reminds me of the time I did my first oil change (I was 16), after I drained the pan my buddy told me I needed to start the engine to get all the oil out really good. I remember thinking that doesn't sound right but whatever ok, went to turn the key and my buddy was like NOOOOOO I WAS KIDDING :v:

pretty sure if he ran the engine with the antifreeze and whatever amount of oil was left in the lines, it would create the forbidden caramel instead of coming out in a clear phase.
