LivingLifeFast amazing mate, really enjoyed this episode, from this I’m expecting a lot more great things from you
LivingLifeFast great video as always Ricki 👍 Looking forward to the next 👍
LivingLifeFast man like ricky yeah
Changed it up differently with the sketch, i like it.
LivingLifeFast one of you’re best videos getting professional now Ricky 👍🏻
We all want a grandpa like this
Imma be like this, if I find a virgin to marry!
My grandad drives a 450hp Holden ss VF
My grandpa used to be a army pilot, then he teached people how to drive, after that he was ceo of the city communication. He used to own a superb motorbike and stuff like that, but when my dad was bord he sold his toys for more "Family friendly" stuff like sedan cars. He have driving licence for literally any vechicle, including a bus with a trailer. He is now a 84 year old seicento owner, but he wanted to buy a Fiat panda last year. He is such a fiat fanboy :v
the grandpa to be**
My dad's only 10 years younger and he has a 650hp twin turbo 2012 Dodge Challenger Yellow Jacket. Dudes an older me he plays video games every day as well lol. It's a blast taking it to the local drag track.
I often see sleeper grandpas on the road, but not a grandpa in a sleeper.
Katsinum this is so funny
What an under rated comment
good one, underrated comment idd haha
@Luke Daniel yeah me either the new golf 8 with 400 hp stock engine will destroy an amg😂
😆😆😆😆
He's the most humble man I've ever seen in the car scene need more people like this
I agree, huge shame the car scene if full of dickheads
It’s called age! You get this way when you get older! 👍

@@zerofuckkksgiven8027 Age is just a indication of time, there are enough people that waste their time. I know enough young people who are humble and older people who I would spit on and act like dumb babies;p
@@53Strat that's true sadly I'd say there are less people like this chap coming through the ranks that there used to be. Humanity is getting a very selfish and bitter race in increasing numbers.
The man is a legend. The car brutal. And the video itself perfect. You could make movies bro...

Yall know who did the music?
@@SeanCushy The track is by the artist "Idealism" and it is titled "Both of Us". The dialogue at the beginning of the track are added samples from the Japanese anime "Kiki's Delivery Service".
You're that cringe dude who thinks stance and widebodys are considered a good looking car right? Piss off
Its a testament to the VW design team how quiet and civilized a 600hp Golf R can be, the owner whispers and isn't drowned out by the car! Great job to all involved.
I just can't get over the posh gentleman's tone, discussing the ins & outs of this tremendous turbo set up. You'd expect to hear him discussing growing roses & Lilly of The Valley, or golf or the Audubon Society, but no he's bout' that boost life. Excellent!
He's not posh lol, just talking properly 😂
He's so not posh lol. Just an old boy doing new skool stuff South London or Kent side.
But he _is_ describing golf, though. ;)

This is one of the best car related videos I've ever watched, your channel symbolizes what Arthur does. Live Life Fast!
Boosted when you bringing some more vids out bro? not seen any thing since you got the bimmer
Yeah where you at Boosted?
Bradfordtruman, saw him putting up for sale on Facebook.
Dekkie 4658 so when it's sold we might get another vid of what he's bought to replace it
Bradfordtruman, probably. That's if his subscribers haven't left because he is unreliable.
It is not the age that matters, it is the passion! :)
So true!!....So True!!
Realy old people on the road flying with 600hp car is good thing? Really?
If you have 600HP, it doesn't mean you have to use all of it....
@@lukaszbat3733 Hp usually comes with better torque. Gas pedal become much sensitive. Imagine, if he experience sudden cramp in leg, as old people usually have joint pains and cramps, for God sake!

There was a VW commercial about that same thing a good while ago lmao
@@blarghinatelazer9394 the red golf with the old lady?
@@Ayoub-fj9zu YYYYEP
This is lovely, it's so nice to see the two people, two different ages, bonding over their love of cars. And to show that older people can drive the fuck out of it.
75 year old goals, this means I'll have to keep myself in shape and sharp both physically and mentally , exercise on a regular basis, play games that enhance reaction times and coordination if I want to still be able to enjoy driving and be good at it when I'm old.
Strange but this somehow motivated me to start doing these things
@@GodofIsaacandAbraham77711 You might be onto something, in my country the tax for big engines is huge, but if you are a priest you pay 0 tax. So if you want a V8 or even a V12 affordable becoming a priest is a solution.
Can't say I would mind spending a few hours in the weekend , maybe gathering some people to church who are also passionate about cars, give some advice to people in need, comfort those who are troubled, and be able to have a large V8.
8:45
It's hits you 75 year old man can go fast 😂😂 the face you make when he hit the gas is awesome 🤣🤣
Fair play,a 75 year old boy racer.
I will definitely be like that when I’m his age.Even now at mid 40’s people tell me I should grow up and buy a sensible car,but I say balls to that,I love owning a Mitsubishi evo,even if it’s a younger mans car,I couldn’t care less,it brings me hours of smiles : )
People who tell you to grow up, probably only sit on their ar*e watching telly waiting to die.
Screw 'em! Have fun, you only have this one chance!
uptheduffagain living is what keeps you alive. This man is doing it. Enjoy life.
uptheduffagain grow older but never grow old 🙃
And that is the purpose of driving the car you love. To make you smile and hace fun like a little kid every time you hop on it. Enjoy!
@@ironlungs8759 exactly.
The beginning of this vid was 10 out of 10 alone! Speechless Ricky!
This gentleman has done everything and much more than I ever tried to do. I am full of admiration, both for him and the quality of the Golf R.
*BEST RETIREMENT PLAN* 💯💯😂😂
This should be a vw commercial. Awesome intro man. Love it
Genuinely nice guy who clearly loves his cars.
Ricky... You have only gone a SMASHED IT! I dont think I have ever seen a video better than this on RUclips!
Fancy Seeing you here... #DMOARMY

Production and film quality on this is top notch mate; thought I was watching a film at the start!! Love your videos man keep it up 👍🏼👍🏼
Lewis the vid had been live 2 minutes when you commented this 🤷♂️
Charlie i did say “at the start” in my comment, can you read pal?
Lewis “production and film quality on this is top notch” something which would be about the full video really
i wish every old man would drive like this in front of me...would save me some stress😂
Truth!
Unreal. I never comment on videos but this is an exception. The cinematic, the people the story line, everything. Amazing video Ricky. Serious talent and inspiration.
Damn you put a lotta work in every single vide of yours.
I'm really happy for this one, cuz that old man is so badass 😂
Gotta Luv Popps. He was great. Hello from the VA, USA.
akilla214u2c hello to you too!!
I don't care if I make it to his age, but if I do, I better enjoy it like this lad. Mad respect to him, beautiful project car.
Also your editing skills are off the charts, you've come a long way, please keep bringing us more good content, we'll be supporting you!
The opening cinematography was absolutely spot on, respect! Just found your channel. What a top guy Arthur is. And that thing FLIES through the revs. Would love to experiernce that launch. Savage car.
Imagine a cop pulling him over..

As someone’s who’s recently started RUclips videos. That introduction with the whole making the tea getting the milk scene was absolute class!
Keep it up man!
Thought I was on Netflix at the beginning there, 100% best car videographer on RUclips
when he said :" this is just a hobby" man I fuckin felt it because this is a dream to me. God bless this man and all people who like going fast as a way to heal their wounds. Thunderstruck y'all.
Put some money into a good pension kids..... then you too can be like Arthur. What a G!
75....Popping to the local garage for some milk in your souped-up Golf-R....Nice sunny day....What more "in retirement" could you possibly ask for????.:)....And what a genuinely nice chap too....
What a great guy Arthur is and I noticed he loves coming out of a roundabout and booting it. Rick was laughing and I'm not sure if it was because he was nervous or shocked at how good of a driver Arthur is and how much he loves putting his foot down lol when he almost started racing. Keep having fun Arthur.
Wow that edit stunning mate so much hard work well done ..! Also epic car 💥💥💥
A tip for the owner: You can actually hear the clutch slip as soon as the turbo comes in. Sounds like the torque output signal from the engine was modified to keep the gearbox torque protection from kicking in.
It will slip, then clamp extra hard to compensate.
This will wear clutches FAST. Would advise to go to a dsg specialist.
Could also be wrong, but ive heard this before.
Riccardo Di Giulio from my understating, dual clutches sometimes have a hard time handling massive amounts of torque if not made purposely to handle it. I’ve seen tuned Lamborghini huracans slip with a twin turbo set up
Pogost1ck same thing happens to my ralliart
it’s not cluthc slip. it’s wheelspinning in 2nd
@@saucysimpson259 with 4wd I don't think so.
@@kamilkrait5873 4WD doesn't stop wheelspin if you have the power. Especially on road tyres
8:45 amazing!! You are asking something and he just ignores you and floors it :D
I like how Rickieee gives Arthur a lot of respect (as an elder) in the way he talks to him.
Sensobale respect
My respect for this 75 years old man, great video, If God help me I want to do that when I have that age 🤘
Basic looking car but with so much power! This is everything you want in a car! Love it!
I am not a vw fan nor a german car fan but I did enjoy this project, specially from a gentleman this age. This is how I like projects...with a full stock look. A wolf under a sheep skin. Congratulations.
This deserves to go viral man. The quality is absolutely top notch!
the quality of that video is outstanding. love the music and the editing. the rs6 is beautiful as well.
This grandpa is legend wow! S/o from south Africa
Awe fellow south African 😂
Awe
My grandfather was a car and truck guy all of his life. He taught me how to work on them (and other things) at an early age and how to drive them too. I inherited my passion for all things on 4-wheels (and tracks) from him. I'm 45 and have owned 30'ish cars and motorcycles so far, I race autocross and road race car and motorcycle and sometimes my Cayenne Turbo. I miss my grandfather every day. I wish this man good health and a long happy life.
Mad editing / filming. Thought I was watching a film at the start !
Big, Brave, 75yr old balls!!! I hope to live the dreams of this old chap. One day... One day.

No, Maryland, US
Good job RUclips recommendations, it took a freaking long time but you finally delivered one hell of a channel.
Arthur is a triple OG. Big up Ricky
*killed it! What a video! Insane edit at the start mate*
I absolutely LOVE this!
8:36 like almost on queue about specs and affected daily driving my right good man puts thr pedal to the metal and shows my yute what's what!
You see this channel is about petrol heads! Age doesn't matter, the gear doesn't matter! For heads by heads.
Respect!!
You’ve done a smashing job of making Arthur famous for what he loves to do. He’s a braver man than I, as much as I’m doing a few bits to my Cupra 300 I’m steering clear of big power like this for now 😂 your intro really demos your videography, great inspiration for me bro
Absolutely brilliant..what a legend! I’m almost 47 but this shows we can go on modding and driving with our arses on fire for as long as we are able!
Edit: You have a new subscriber mate ;)
Just wow! The story, the shots, the editing, music, etc. Such a high quality video. Thank you!
8:40 how to shut up your passenger.
This is a classic video. The spirit of driving never leaves us. Wish him best of health and years of driving pleasure.
Late to the party. Video is superb, work of art, great editing, and of course Arthur- what a legend.
Looks like he's just rolled out of his potting shed, drives like a McRae.
I really wanted him to smoke the vxr lmao
He probably still scared the shit out of the vxr driver though.
Wxbb Txch sure
@Wxbb Txch your brother in law didn't have a clue an animal was toying with him
@Wxbb Txch what's the vxr running power wise?
@Wxbb Txch for 600 bhp that vxr must have been on the forums and well known! What's the link to it I'd be interested to see its build thread as 600bhp would make it the the second fastest astra vxr I'm aware of
This is living life to the max at 75 years old wow what an absolute legend. Just his hobby incredible thank you for this video
Bloody hell just watched the first 2 mins of the video and I'm already buzzing about it. Had to come and drop some love for your different approach to the video on this one Rick. Mad love.
28 seconds in and already tell im gonna love this guy, wearing a leafs hat and drives my a golf. what a real man
Nick is looking like hes been killing it in the gym! top bloke
David Attenborough of the car world haha, legend
Yes ok ...it has the big turbo. Though as the good gentleman said he didn't have to change other parts on the car, this is something I was told about other VWs. A garage I used to use when I had a Mark2 Golf G60, told me the standard intercooler on the G60 was good for 400 horse power. Good good vid thank you.
Seriously who doesn't love Arthur!! Who doesn't love Rick? ❤️❤️❤️! I'd love to see Arthur on a track with this thing!!!!!!!
It's more like a short movie than a car video. Well done Ricky. Top class!!! 👍
masterpiece of a video. That edit at 1:28 brings tears to my eyes man. So much love. stay blessed fam
Excellente vidéo !..
J'ai aussi plus de 70 ans et une Mk 7 R 300cv.. C'est le bonheur pour aller acheter le pain....et aussi pour la ballade.
Un amour de voiture😙😙😙
Dam Ricky! You raised the bar with this video!
Oh Arfur ... gee , you’ve driving for a while man ....!
His face when ‘Arfur’ floors it off the roundabout ...!
Priceless .....
Best petrol head RUclips channel soon a million subs definitely 👍🏻
Don’t usually comment but that start deserves it absolute top job man! Also Arthur is my idol 😂
I have just watched this for the second time and I think this is the best LLF episode ever.I also love the way you started the episode like a movie spot on 👍
Arthur is the best 🤩👍
Proper editing that. Looked so professional!
09:13 A wild VXR appeared
That thing was moving too yo 😂
lmfao 😂😂
That vxr was absolutely shifting some, surprised it didn’t understeer in to a tree
He couldnt catch the VXR
Desmond Boldizsar he did and then said "get lost"
Love the way Ricky drops a shoulder and crouches when he hits the gas. Deep focus.
This is content i can pay to watch, awesome bruh.. Thats the thing if u do something out of love and passion, organic. Nothing fancy just relevant content. Well done G
Absolutely had to savour this one for when I got home and on the big screen/stereo. Legend
Bless that fine upstanding gentle old soul...may he ride eternal shiny and chrome
Who could dislike this video? I don’t understand
hondafanboys ,)
A.K.A Ricecooker
tbh I find this video very cool buuuut I HATE Volkswagen, so maybe that's the reason?
Prius drivers.
Dont bolive everything you see on internet
They could say this has 800 hp
Its fakr
Why would anyone thumbs down this video? Not car people that's for sure.
600hp with standard brakes and just software modded dsg... the standard brakes don't even keep up with spirited B-road driving. I'm pretty sure he won't be able to do a full trackday. Also, he already admits that the dsg can just cope, with this amount of power, he needs to change the clutch plates on his dsg.
Jeff Eppenger or they are just euro bashers ie "pricks" aahahah
Jeff Eppenger Quick Home made things to sell
hate vw, that simple
L M then why did you watch the video then? Silly. What's not to like here? Any car loving person would love this car regardless of brand. If your hating on VW then you hate Toyotas? You hate Fords? See this car for what it is not for what badge is on its grill. This is a bad ass car👍
That moment when Arthur Just disregards what Ricky is saying and drops the hammer is beautiful... @8:45
This is hands down the best edited car video I've ever seen. Been here from the start and the progression is outstanding! well done Ricky keep going
So arfur how does it affect your daily driving, commences to punch 5 gears.
Dinky-Di 😂😂 my favorite part, just fucking guns it
@@The_Summit_Wanderer wrong. Mk7 is 6 speed, mk7.5is 7speed
Amazing. I expecting to go straight into things, but the cinematic start is brilliant. Well done. Good comaradary of those in the video. Thanks for a unique presentation.
The old boys accent is priceless!
ACCENT? Deah boy, THAT is the Queen's English as it is supposed to be spoken. He's not even terribly posh!
@@SLINGSHOTWORLDTV ok boomer
Smiled all the way through watching this! I was starting to think i was too old at 50 to be still owning and tuning fast hatches lol Was a great video video to watch👌
We, (SWMBO & I), sometimes wonder why we both run Golf R's, but then you've only got the one life.......(I'm 71, but she's a bit younger....) They are very good for the daily stuff too but when the red mist descends.. As for the video, 'tis of superb quality & I wish I was as quick as Arthur.
Found this video 3 years later. Better late then never. I love the passion ❤️
My new favorite channel, I’m stoked I found it now and have so many to binge on, great job man!
Arthur is like the car worlds David Attenborough. The BBC should get you for Top Gear as you would nail it!
Don't know many times I've watched this 😂😂😂
Please tell Arthur to get the original Pretoria rims, I did and it made a massive difference to the ride quality. The wheels are oem forged and super light, it made the ride way better compared to these Cadiz which I also have. The Cadiz rims are about 3.5kg per rim heavier than the Pretoria ones and as a side effect it also made the steering much nicer in my car! :D
Plus the pretorias look so much nicer!!!
these come as standard on the 7.5 or?
I am not sure, on the regular (old) golf 7R they where optional. They also came on the GTI clubsport often, but again I am not sure if even then they where standard or optional, but I can't stress enough how much they are worth it. Cobblestone roads with they Cadiz wheels were very harsh, now with the Pretoria wheels it feels like the wheel stays in contact with the road much more and the car is much more comfortable because of that. They literally make the car feel better in all driving ways, comfort, steering, cornering, accelerating and braking!
Cadiz where standard Pretoria bigger and an option I believe they do look better but the Cadiz are growing on me.
Both my Cadiz and Pretoria wheels are 19'', the Cadiz wheels came on the car but I wish I had gone with the Pretoria's from the start. But I now use my Cadiz wheels with winter tires in winter :p
Them cinematics are on point and as for the car 🔥🔥
One of the funniest videos ive watched. Was not expecting that race that was funny and to say that he is 75 years old just blows my mind he will be missed when he does eventually go.
Just had this pop up on my recommended. Absolutely fantastic filmography and such a cool guy!
The intro is absolutely perfect showing him reading the paper and making coffee😆👍 Loving the VDub review mate!! Edited for exhaust comment: It sounds incredible!! Arthur sounds like such a cool person to chat with too.
