The Panda 100HP is back! Where has it been?
does it changes audio quality of the default car speakers ??
@@yiactioncamerafootage9341 it definitely improves them! It has a better built-in amp than standard head units.
Very rare without the wing - it was part of a recall to cure instability issues...! At the time, it seemed like every mk1 TT was that colour! Nice venue - could shoot other content there...;)
Yep, it was! Annoyingly it was after the video was filmed I properly discovered that. Yes… a certain C63 AMG would look nice against those doors 😉
Somebody will be no doubt correct me if I'm wrong, however I'm pretty sure that when the TT was originally released, within a year it had a recall due to high speed crashes on the autobahn and at least one in the UK. Early cars went back to Audi to have the wing fitted.
That’s true!
That's correct! But what happened I understand, is that the recall was a two step one. It consisted on rear suspension tweaks + a bit of extra weight on the rear, to make the tail a bit more stable, ESP, and the wing. What I heard is that the very early recall cars had to make two appointments. The first one with everything but the wing, and the second one with the wing, because they hadn't shipped from Germany yet. That's how some cars skipped the wing but got the other things that also help a bit with stability (my car is in this situation, as it has ESP but no wing). As long as you don't go crazy on autobahns at 180 km/h or more, should be fine (so, legal speeds should be no problem).
Please film an update video on the long lost MX5 Eunos MK1
It’s on the list! 👌
What camera are you using?
iPhone 15 Pro Max :)
You'll regret going electric :-/
Anything but regret for us. We love our e-Up!
Don’t sweat about it being boring Daniel. It was like meeting up with a mate saying “so what you been up to today?” And just telling about your day. Not every day has to be exciting but, every day is interesting. Poor Toby, he looked so tired 😂 but I’d have loved that dinner. New to your channel and loving it. You’re a natural broadcaster/journalist and I’m certain you have a very bright future in motoring journalism. I don’t know if you know of Harly Jones? He has a U Tube channel called CarTraction? He’s only young (about 16 ish) but like you he’s very articulate and knowledgable a natural broadcaster. He’s more into classic cars, memorabilia but he also covers race meets. I’m sure you could both could make a great collaborative programme together. His Dad Rick runs the OCC classic car channel and I’ve noticed he has commented on yours so a bit of a connection there. We need to encourage youngsters into our world us oldies are dropping off the perch so need young enthusiasts to revitalise our motoring world Well done Daniel on a great channel which I really love
That’s really nice to hear. I’m glad it was received well! I hope you’ll stick around, there’s lots of exciting things ahead that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting both Harly and Rick at events as they are very local to me. Both lovely people with such brilliant channels! It would be good to do some sort of collaboration in future for sure.
@@DanielDrives definitely hanging on. You have me hooked mate 🤗
Keep it I have one best car that is the best car i have ever had I has a s tyre jag that broken its suspension at the rear the money is was going to spending the jag I got the o8 plate panda very underrated
Very underrated indeed!
I grew up with this era of TT and I was always a fan. I even wanted to get one. Great video as always.
Thanks Sean!
That's my brother's caaaaarrrrrr
Ahhh! A lovely example 😁
@@DanielDrives that exactly same car. Juan is my bro. ❤️❤️
Lovely video Daniel as always, thank you!
My pleasure! It was a fun one to film 🙏
My old headteacher used to have one - we all thought he was a bit of a pedo. He looked really weird in it.Either that or he was a part-time hairdresser😂
Haha, that’s funny 😅
In love with these! Shame they are discontinued now.... End of an era!!!
Truly is. Big shame!
An absolute car nerd, I love it Daniel. Been following you a while now and you've improved a huge amount. Well done buddy, look forward to many more videos.
That’s me, a big nerd. Thanks for the kind words! I really do appreciate it. Lots more to come.
I love small sports coupes like the tt if I didn’t have a old ford puma I would have a tt. I don’t like all these suv battle tanks that are taking over!
I always wanted a ford puma, great looking little motors
@@YegoYTP get one you will not regret it! 1.7 fair shifts yet cheap on insurance! Just make sure to check for rot as they disintegrate like a Berocca in water 😂
@@gezzy8095nice, I also like the puma a lot, friend got a 1.7 with 4.25 final drive swap, feels great to drive around turns and its brisk enough, only real issues for him has been door locks and unfortunately rust
@@gezzy8095 tried to get one as a first car but couldn't get insured on one. i would like to get one eventually
He seems like a nice friendly fella just had a look at some of his artwork the McLaren F1 GTR - Gulf Livery is my fav. Ooo he also does iPhone Wallpapers.
Thanks for the kind words, bud! I love to read about the McLaren F1 GTR illustration. It actually ended up being the cover artwork for a videogame (Google "Super Woden GP2") that is available on Steam and will release on consoles as soon as end of this month! It's a great game and I encourage everyone to check it out if you like classic old school driving games.
He does! His level of talent is incredible.
It really looks so much better without the spoiler ❤
It definitely looks very sleek!
Hi Daniel I found your channel recently while laid up with a really bacd attack of flu - great watch and are you coming to the Festival Italia at Brands Hatch on 11th August by chance ? I ave Fiat 124 and would love to see you to do a joint channel piece as `i save with Jake in the past with his Panda HP . Warm regards Richard
Hi Richard! Hope you’re feeling better, flu can be awful. Hopefully the channel helped some of the boredom 🤞 I’m not I’m afraid! Too busy of a schedule! I would love a 124 on the channel. Jake is a great guy!
@@DanielDrives Daniel thank you so much my new channel friend. You’re really good at communicating and keep up the excellent work. Good luck with your A” levels ! Warm regards Richard
I've really enjoyed following your European road trip Daniel, fantastic content, please do keep it coming. One of fave youtube channels.👏
Thank you so much! That’s really kind!
"We're not going to go too crazy...." "100mph on the Nurburgring...." "bit of tyre squeal!" :D
😉
Rover 75 and the others models of that time were through BMW sentence to death because of a the way they were treated
What a great series! Very professional and entertaining! You should send this series to TV company's you should be on TV your such a natural for someone of your age. Well done boys!
Wow, thank you! That’s very kind! Super glad you enjoyed it :)
@@DanielDrives i did enjoy it, but use it to get yourself out there! Honestly you deserve to have a career in the motor industry. Hey i know what its like to be a teen you cba doing anything and life sort of moves on bye . but seriously look at getting this vid to bigger companies who do this sort of thing! i hope to see you on TV in the next few years!
That was exciting Daniel. Well done Toby 👍
Great vid Daniel. One thing I don’t think you’ll ever be is “speechless” 😂
Me neither!!
guys, move to the EU, it's really better here :)
It is 😅
Nürburgring, looks like amazing fun no matter how fast you are going, the slower you go the longer it lasts. The GP Circuit was very wet, I was half expecting you would slide out of control. Filming the speedo would have either confirmed your hero status or not. 😄
I was expecting disaster too! Thank goodness it all went smoothly.
this is a super cool car. I think that such - are the future (for sure in Europe). even now, I would like to get something like an "electric bike with a roof" so that you can ride in the rain, or even in the winter..
Great series of videos! Thoroughly enjoyed watching them all. Not sure if they were all intended, however some proper laugh out loud moments. You're a funny guy! I guess the Panda deserves a bit of rest, however make a few videos over the summer (it may actually stop raining at some point) before you put your A 'levels to good use.
Thank you, I'm glad you've enjoyed following along! There will be plenty more content coming over the summer :)
It was very enjoyable, entertaining and informative. Can’t believe it’s over but it looked like good fun. I’m looking forward to more stuff like this. Well done 😊
I'm really glad! It was a blast. There will be something else to look forward to for sure!
Enjoyable series of videos. Well done Daniel for all the effort.
Cheers Jonathan, much appreciated.
I have thoroughly enjoyed your trip and seeing all the places you visited. You stayed in some great air bnb's. I will look forwards to seeing more of your video's.
I hope you'll stick around! Plenty more coming :)
Great series - thanks for sharing your week with us.
My pleasure!
What an amazing trip! To be honest, I'm very jealous of you for doing it! And Reims, what a place to finish it, so much history and and incredible icon/relic :) Thank you SO much for this vlog series, it must have taken a fair amount of your time, but it has been fantastic to watch! (And Jacob still REALLY doesn't want to be on camera!!!)
It was an absolutely phenomenal trip, I still can't believe it happened. Documenting it all here is also very special for me as I can watch back through the days and remember what fun we had :D Thanks for following along!
Welldone 🚙
Thanks for sharing your experience with us the viewers. I really enjoyed watching and feel inspired to visit some of the same places. Hope you and Jacob have a great summer break.
Thank you very much!
I really enjoyed watching the videos of your trip. So much so, that I am now booking my own trip, following the same route!
That is so brilliant to hear! That makes me really happy.
Excellent work Daniel, your getting better and better at this.Onward and upward.
Thank you very much! Sooo much more planned...
Daniel well done to you and Jacob, highly appreciate the content. All the best!
I'm glad you've enjoyed following along!
Daniel, that was an excellent series of videos, it looks like you and your mate had a fantastic trip. I wish I had been able to do that trip when I was your age, but neither had a reliable car nor the money to afford to do it. As someone that's old enough to be your grandfather, I remember having to use French toilets like those in Reims when we went on a school trip to Nice in France during the summer of 1971. I'm looking forward to seeing your future content. As a retired community safety officer and knowing that you're currently in the vulnerable age group for road accidents, I would just say "Please Take Care".
I'm glad you've enjoyed it! We had an absolutely amazing time. That's very cool actually... We definitely will take care, there are too many risks and dangers around not to!
Welcome home
Cheers Mark. Half relieved and half gutted!
I would love to see the Panda get a nice full detail after all the work and miles it has put into this trip - treat it to a spa day!
There will be Panda content in one form or another coming soon, for sure!
Fantastic series of videos - can't wait to get on the road myself even more now! Great to see the vintage circuit - anyone else spot the Jaguar XK150 FHC at 0:24?
You really must visit some of these places when you can, it's a truly outstanding experience!
Great series of videos Daniel. Lifetime memories for you both😎 Hopefully heading off for a European road trip in September, so have been using this to make notes of potential sites to visit. Will be sharing the driving with a mate….. but kudos to you for single manning (driving wise)👍
Indeed it is! I wish I could do it all over again... Have a great time and stay safe!
@@DanielDrives cheers mate. I’m sure you will, just have to save up and count down the days!ha
@@richardarnold5888 yes exactly! That’s the plan 😁
Hope you visited the museum in Speyer as well. Those Museums are cool. I grew up half an hour away from there and loved to visit those places.
We didn't have time unfortunately with the big drive to Reims ahead of us! Definitely next time.
u are very good presenter / product reviewer. I see a promising broadcast journalist
Thank you very much - I really appreciate it!
Very well done. That museum is awesome. I had no idea the Concord was there! Wow, that cockpit is insane. Glad you made it okay with one wiper. Your narrative and editing is great. You are very talented.
It was fascinating! Thank you so much Gary :)
Brilliant! That museum looks amazing!! How graceful were you getting out of the race car? :P Love you both going down the slide - the noises!! (Was there a purpose to the slide as an exhibit?) I think that drag 2CV would have scrambled the eggs in your basket... 100mph?! Shocking!! :P Another great driving moment though :) (Love Jacob spinning round in the hammock in your outro!)
Not very graceful, I can assure you that!!! No purpose for the slide as far as I'm aware, just for grown up toddlers like Jacob and I to play around with :D
The doll in the Impala is eazy e
That museum is amazing and the fact that some of the exhibits are interactive! So many places are scared of public liability insurance claims. You weren't worried about sustained high speed in the Panda? I hope you didnt need a nocturnal pee, that staircase would be deadly in the dark!
I wasn't too worried, it's a pretty strong engine. I didn't push my luck though! Thankfully I didn't, otherwise I probably wouldn't be here replying to comments ;)
Full marks for surviving without Wi-Fi👌
It was a challenge! ;)
