The Car Wizard is a good one to watch. He fixes most of Hoovie's cars. I also follow Watch JR Go. He usually buys real POS cars and fixis them for a quick flip but also does interesting build like a LS swapped Nitrous Rolls Royce. Mustie1 is also another good one I follow. He usually works on small engines, riding lawnmowers and such that he usually picks up from the side of the road or at garage sales but also sometimes works on VW bugs and buses. Wrench Everyday is good too and so is Finnegan's Garage.

I'm in line with most of the folks on this forum, as far as YouTube content. I watch Mustie1 videos too. I started when I was searching for 356 engine rebuild videos. Mustie1 has some beetle videos including firing up old engines that haven't run in years. He does all sorts of stuff that's been abandoned or he picked up cheap.
i finally got my 356 engine off the garage floor and onto a stand last weekend. Time to tear into it.

I like Car Wizard just because he is a real dude and it's fun to watch him grow as a presenter and a videographer. There's a wholesomeness to his channel that a lot of others have lost with their polish.

Just happened to catch the update on this car after he took it to the dealer and then The Wizard. Certainly reinforces why I stopped going to the dealer and switched to an Indy. It does appear like overall he got a pretty good car on the cheap.

Hoovie expected a bit much from his inspection, considering it was a 1 hour job.

Nice to see other Mustie1 fans here. Really enjoy his channel. No one mentioned ratarossa who I like but he is dangerous making me think ferrari ownership can be economical..

Hoovie knows a lot of cars. It slips out every now and then like this 996 cab follow up. Feeling blown motor mounts and diagnosing the clunking front end. He just says he is mechanically inept in his channel so viewers can relate.

That they missed those obvious items is bad. I do agree with him about the dealers in general.

Car Wizard has a new video up about the pesky airbag light in our cars too.

Agreed. He is not stupid. Just plays it.

I have watched a few of his clips but haven't been following him. Maybe I will now since working from and self isolation gives me a lot more time to waste.

I just think he's a clown and his opinion isn't worth anything.
YMMV
I hadn't watched Doug in a LONG time...but then he posted a video on the Porsche 935.
I watched that., but probably won't watch him again until he does one on the 959.

I like Hoovie, Tavarish, Jay Leno, Ratarossa, Mustie1, Samcrac, and...Rennvision.
Rennvision has the best content for M96.
The crazy guy on Rennvision just posted some Alvis Sabre videos.
I haven't had a chance to wach those yet though.
