Honda NSX: The supercar that changed supercars forever
The Honda NSX is a true supercar icon - one of the few cars that all petrolheads seem able to agree on, and one of my all-time bucket list cars. In this video, I tell its story and find out how it drives in 2020.

Does the E39 BMW M5 live up to the hype 20 years on?
Переглядів 78 тис.4 роки тому
The E39 M5 is widely regarded as one of the greatest generations of the M5 and curiously, it's also one of the most affordable M cars you can buy right now. On top of all that, it's one of my personal hero cars. No pressure then... Thank you to James Paul Cars for lending me this M5.

The Mk1 Porsche Cayman S: Sports car bargain or a knock-off 911?

The 987 was the first generation of Porsche's mid-engined sports car and today clean examples can be had for less than the price of a new Ford Fiesta. But is the Cayman worth your money, or will you spend the rest of your life wishing you'd saved up for a 911? (Spoiler alert: no.) Big thanks to Mortimers for lending me the car.

The Morgan 3 Wheeler is one of the most pointless cars ever made - and one of the best

A 3 wheeled car partly made out of wood, based on a 100 year-old design. The Morgan 3 Wheeler makes absolutely no sense as a car: it's impractical, slow and difficult to drive, but it's somehow also one of the most enjoyable driver's cars you can buy today. Check out the video to find out why. Many thanks to Bell & Colvill for lending me the car. It’s currently for sale on their website: www.be...

Finding the Stelvio Pass: Abarth 124 road trip vlog

This year, the Abarth 124 - the only small Italian sports car currently in production - was taken off sale in the UK.

Ford Fiesta ST vs Suzuki Swift Sport: Which is the best baby hot hatch?

Another video from my day with SMMT at Millbrook proving ground. The new Fiesta ST and Swift Sport are two of the least powerful performance cars on the market today - and I love them for that.

    Only thing that makes this car look old is if you look at headlights from distance... it has old car vibes because of them. But if you look at front from little bit side then it compares with modern cars and often it does look better than them. Its a 2006 design and we have 2024 and it aged very well.

    This used to be mine (yes the exact car in the vid) 😢 sadly sold it in 2020 after 8 years of ownership and miss it everyday. Watching the new owner drive it away broke my heart. They aren’t the fastest or the most modern but they have so much character that new cars can only dream of having. Very expensive to maintain/tax and insure but worth every penny for that beautiful vr6 engine noise. I miss my baby 😭

    I can relate, its my dream car since I was 6 years old back in 2000. Only sat in one once, never driven one. Had many opportunities to drive newer M-cars, but never an e39 M5. Seems like my dream to own one comes true this year, as I turn 30. One of my biggest unfullfilled life-goals beside my marriage, birth of my son and bulding my house. 😄 The M5 always had to wait.😢

    The mk3 mx5 with the 2.0 litre engine puts out about 170 hp . The same as the bmw 2.2 z4. The bmw is a 6 cylinder engine, it costs more to service and is heavier on fuel. The mx5 is basically a Ford the parts are cheaper. It has a Ford engine, Ford suspension, Ford brakes. It’s cheaper to run ,it has the same performance. It’s a no brainer go with the Mazda.

      I've had one since 75k and now sold it at 105k. Haven't had any major issues on mine at all, was services regularly at a main dealer.

  • @procesgnilny

    Had 2 EP3's, and 2 FN2... would never go back to EP3 - twitchy, narrow and long thing. Late v-tec and genrally good only for track. Even on rallies its got a reputation of a killer car, as its very unstable at high speed and very unpredictable for FWD car. It will be neutral, but at very slightest lift off it will kick the back out massively. To do this in FN2 you will have to do left foot braking, but this is much more controllable. I couldn't get why there is a such a hype about EP3. On top of hat it does not age well - in 2020's loks like something out of 90's 😀
