When your talking to your mates and ask them to be quiet so you can hear the good car go past and they don't have a clue whats going on.
Nice video as always have a good christmas!
We do that too! Thanks for watching!
Driving along with fiance in the car and windows up whin I noticed a TVR 500 Griffith in my rear view mirror. I turned off the CD player, wound windows down and slowed down while he caught up and passed me.
Fiance didn't understand but I simply explained: "It's the law, it's a TVR".
Great video by the way.
The window one is a classic :P
My friends don't understand why I always pull close to the kerb forwards then reverse the rest of the way...
They just drive straight in and half the time bounce up or at least hit the kerb. And then they wonder why their alloys are so chewed up.
You know the score!
Haha number 4. Subtle.
Not a lot of people noticed, you're one of the TRUE petrolheads!
Life On Unleaded also rev match and downshift :D
4 and 5 is the most petrolhead tunnel open windows and downshift ahahha
in number 5 the worst is playing that game when bikes are present :)))
When I'm bored I watch drift videos...
...nobody understands me
I used to either watch Initial D or Wangan Midnight, prefer Initial D; however, it depresses me aswell, because my skills are not that good oO
I had to rewatch #4, didn't even notice the windows rolling down hahahaha.
Yeah, and felt a bit embarrassed about having to do a rewatch ;)
Aha all I saw was him readjusting his hands, didn't realize the tunnel till I reviewed.
i got it first try so can i say it? is no one watching? okay, here we go...FIRST!
I heard a V12, I looked back and there I saw a vanquish, in blue, and I yelled VANQUISH! VANQUISH! , yet my family did not give a damn. Then I started giving out all the specs of the car, V12, hand built in England, the model year, the wheel name, yet still my family didn't give a damn. I'm 15 by the way.
my life in a one comment
Belal Qureshi that's exactly what I do! Or if I'm in the car with my mother and I see something nice, I shout out what the car is and scare my mother
andrew1111lolz lol
Belal Qureshi Same here! And no one cares for all the facts I spew out, I feel lonely :(
thank god i live in saudi arabia where we don't care about fuel economy, it's cheaper than water here
so start drink this against water it will be even cheaper to live there -.-
Haha that's one of the best comments we've had!
looooooooool. yes indeed
Yeah but then you have to deal with all the religion everywhere, no thanks!
I neeeeed to live there!
LOL #5 my buddies always give me a hard time because I constantly do this. My uncle and I will be having a conversation and randomly be like "nice M5...anyways"
same
"Who needs a manual?"
I wish people would understand our passion for cars. They just don't get it
so true
What car do you drive
when i was younger i had a mk2 ford escort 1660 race cam twin webber 45's roll cage quick rack the engine was also blue printed,iv'e had a uno turbo tuned,a renault 5 gordine,and a renault 5 turbo on 19's tuned, ax gti and a few others,but these days i have a renault scenic 1.9 turbo.
Nice. I am going to stick with vw . I want to start of with a polo and then get a vw golf mk4
the older polo's are quit nice
I find I often quantify things in car parts: "You want HOW much for those jeans?? That's like a door handle for a '72 Fulvia Zagato...!"
Haha that's a good one!
When i cycle back from school with my friends and i'm like: Oh Wow look its a mercedes SLS AMG! and they're like: uhh.. who cares?
#5 was so amazing. You gotta set yourself priorities :D
I don't know if anyone else does this, but here goes. I actually have two very unique ones. Whenever I see an exotic car while I'm out I scream out loud or make some kind of loud noise. It terrifies those who are with me and I have to promptly explain myself. LoL. I scared my mother like that one time. Sorry mom. And the other one is when someone asks me what my favorite car is. I then pause to ponder their question and I return with this. "What do you mean? Favorite V8, V12, favorite Ferrari, Favorite Lamborghini, Favorite FF car, favorite FR car, favorite MR, favorite Porsche, favorite car below $30,000 or above $200,000 or favorite hypercar, sedan, coupe, etc..." I am sick. LoL.
Those are good!
I have an E46 328i with a minor exhaust mod so that it's louder at lower RPMs (Vacuum/Flap Delete).
- Random Person: "Hey, I think there's something wrong with your exhaust"
- Me: "No, I purposely made it louder."
- Random Person: "(Puzzled look) Why would you want it to be louder?"
- Me: "..................................."
I also hate it when friends (who aren't in the know) claim they have seen the performance variant of a 3/C/A4 etc when it's actually just your run-of-the-mill diesel sedan.
- Clueless friend: "(Spots a 318d with M-Sport kit and M badge on the rear) Hey Look!, an M3"
- Me: "That's not an M3 buddy....."
- Clueless friend: "Obviously I know more about cars than you then, look at the M emblem on the bootlid"
- Me "(Trying to stay calm)....................."
LOVE your channel, this was hilarious and accurate. Always looking forward to more stuff in the future!
Thanks Adeel!
Parking in far away spaces so that you don't have anybody parking next to you. (So nobody scratches/dings the car)
We didn't think of that one!
Understood everything!!!!!! My favorite was 4
Another one: Me staring at a McLaren Mercedes when I see one and my friends just asking why I'm interested in a normal Merc.
Great channel by the way, subscribed.
I love the humor in all your vids! I love watching car vids but the humor just made it 10X better! Subed from first vid (C63 AMG review)
Thanks Aleksey!
I don't know if this counts, but sometimes I'll say, "I'm going to get my car new shoes!" Haha, they always look at me like I'm crazy. Nice video again!
Definitely counts, we love a new pair of shoes!
2) The LSD one, HAHAHA!!!
When you spend time cleaning, waxing, etc. then they say "what's the point,it's going to get dirty again"
When you're in an underground car park and you roll the window down to hear the pops and crackles.
When you spend almost a thousand pounds just to fit a metal pipe on the car to make it more "annoying".
Excellent! There's a subtle variation of #4 when you're just about to be overtaken by something juicy - I open the window to listen to the other car, hehehe :)
One of my friends says he judges how good a car is, on how quiet it is inside.. I can't even
Haha awesome video man. Nr 5 has happend too me so many times!
Thanks pal, glad you liked it!
I get funny looks everywhere I go cause of the diff skip but every now and then you get that one guy that looks over and gives the nod cause he knows what a welded diff is
The nod of approval!
Hahahahaha - seriously, only just discovered you're channel tonight, but I have watched loads - end result, repeated convulsions. Made my night considering I'm sitting here with Man-virus :o
#4....LOL......love it
Oh my god the W12 one. So many times!
Another one for me: Someone says "my dad's just bought a new E-Class Merc it's really nice" and my brain thinks "no it isn't it's a C220 CDI you fool"
Oh and then there's "What is this car?", "It's a Mercedes Jeep I think" and I just sigh.
Spot on my friend! =D
Brilliant
Brilliant video mate! The LSD one hahaha!
Thanks Andy!
When you won't take it over 3000 rpm until everything's warmed up.
When you refuse to take it through an automated car wash because it leaves micro scratches.
When you only ever put Shell Optimax V power Plus in the old girl, because you like to spoil her.
We tip our hat to you sir!
The LSD bit killed me hahahaha
I have actually done that in the past more than a few times, the last one. laughed so hard lol!
Brilliant.
Thanks Louis!
When girls think white Vauxhall Corsa's with black wheels (you know the ones) are the coolest car on the planet, and when u tell them u have a 500 Abarth they think it's a girls car :L I don't care.
The 500 Abarth is wicked!
4 was awesome :D
#3&4 made me and my friend laugh so hard we need a ventilator machine to catch our breathe
#5 and there is a sound you have to make it's kind of like a "oowwp" followed by "hang on a sec" as you jump up to look. hahahah
So very true!
Glad you agree!
I don't know how I didn't discover this channel before, liking the crap out of all the videos.
Also, i've gotten weird looks while talking LSD haha.
Lol I feel exactly the same. My friend asked why get a V8 muscle car if its bad on gas, I had the same reaction you did. And the last one, I have a habit of calling out every nice car I see on the road( Like "oh, a GTR!" ) or I hear it and look out the window. Some people just don't get it, but I love cars.
The most true thing is the last one :D
Every time when i hear a good sounding car im am jumping out of my bed and i open the Window to enjoy it :D
#4 basically what i live for, could be me and my best friend in that car. awesome video !!!
number 4 is too relatable
where did you get that amazing leather jacket?
Always looking to the parking lot to check that no one's touching my motorcycle while playing tennis. Everyone always tells me to concentrate.:D
Haha very recognisable!
This was actually pretty funny!
Thanks Lucas!
Hi Louie, just a little of topic BUT a serious hate is in movies when (usually American) the engine is a V8 even in a Toyota Corolla and every vehicle squeaks WTF when it stops. Seriously. One great exception to the rule is "Kingsmen" the lead actor steals a WRX and OMG it has WRX sound thank Christ. Love the channel you have to keep doing it Cheers Scott
Brilliant... So true... The reg plate and engine sound pure class. Living near a petrol station, I am a particular fan of this game. Aston's are too easy...
The other good game is mpg figures. A pal of mine has a company 1 series which he sees no real costs to run and gets 80 mpg... Lovely... Instead of the company car, my take is keep my ST and it's daft running costs, along with 24 mpg. Far more pleasurable...
We both looked at the same company car spreadsheet out of interest. First field he filters on is cost, mine?...BHP of course!
It's all about the smiles per gallon!
I understand your rear wipers on in that focus when it's not needed ;)
It was actually raining a little when we were filming haha!
Some of the stuff is just plain me.
One other thing, my girlfriend used to complain because I am always staring at cars and talk permanently about them - I asked her if she would prefer if I stare at other women instead...
Just came across your channel, not bad :thumbsup:
There's been so many times where I see girls at car shows with my ex GF and I'd be like oh sweeeeettt and totally skip right past the ladies and stare at the car
#5!!! that's me all day haha!
Best video ever lol
also when your driving with your mates and u have a stick and they are like "who needs a stick when u can have a manual that does the work for u"
#5 all the time!
I would get really excited if I see a 911, M3 or something and my friends wouldn't be that fused in it and I'd be like you don't know what your missing.
Exactly!
None of my friends like cars like I do. I am a huge porsche freak and living in houston I see them all the time. My friends get so frustrated with me because they will be carrying on a conversation and I will scream out porsche then just start rambling on about what model I just seen
Haha we love your enthusiasm!
I like the last one the most because i do that every time
Awesome. I get this too, sometimes when I'm with friends, if I see a nice V8, I'll just completely tune out from what their saying until the car has gone by hahaha....
So accurate :D
No. 1 is really annoying: Some of my friends trying to convince me that I should sell my '91 V12 Merc W140 and save up for a new Suzuki Whatever that is more fuel economical, much more comfortable and faster just because it's new. Furthermore I should bring the good ol' Benz to the scrapyard, because every car over 10 years is a potential danger to life and shouldn't be on the road at all. And I'm totally nuts if I don't understand that. :D
Don't do it, just think of everything in "Smiles per gallon".
I own a 2014 C63 AMG and the two questions I keep getting asked are "so is that like a fast car" and "I bet that drinks fuel" Grrrr
Browsing pistonheads classifieds just to see 'what's available' when you're not in the market for a new car. Aways confuses them.
It's an illness haha!
When my friends put there feet all over the chrome door seals when getting in or out! Makes me annoyed because no matter how many times is say to step on them the don't listen!
That's pretty annoying!
Number 3 was so accurate haha!
+Mr458 Explain!
+Ling Jin Li Users of high performance cars sometimes have the name of the type of engine of the car they're driving on their private registration plates, usually to show off. A V12 is an example of a powerful engine, but because the Bentley Continental does not have a V12 but rather a W12 (two V6 engines built/crafted simultaneously). So petrolheads usually feel they have to correct the misconception and change it! Hope you understand!
Got it! Haha
number 5 is so me!
name of the intro song??
Lol at no4 hahahahahahaha
Haha, Number 4 and 5 are so true :) i also annoy my girlfriend, because i tell her about car I see while we are driving somewhere together. Its always like: "Look, a C 63 AMG,I have to put the windows down!" (at -15 degrees :)) or "Ohhhh you see the Ferrari 4 cars in front of us?"
I'm sure I've been in the situation of not knowing what to say with a petrol head
Bahahaha awesome video.
Cheers Mina!
I told my friends that im going to Nurburgring next week, and they were like whaaaaaaaat?
lol my uncle would always crack the window when we would approach a tunnel or underpass....even if its raining..nowadays though the roof is always down so no need to
#4 is so true... I always have to explain it to my passengers :D
I knew you was going to do the w12 on the reg
Missing one, when a good looking car comes the other way, you never look at it as your too cool...
I'm like how many horses you have in that whip! There face explains it all :/
My friend doesn't even know what a Subaru is
You need to find a new friend.
When I see I car and totally freak out and they just sit there and insult it
You're not alone pal!
Number 5 is so me! Haha but can someone explain number 4? I noticed the window but dont quite understand
As u can see a bridge was coming so that was an opprtunity to hear the car so they rolled there windows down so they can hear it. ( sorry for my english )
OH I Get it now! Haha thanks man!
Thats so me Lol
Having to get out the car to take a pic of a cool one :L
Yes!
When I try to explain to the missus that good cars are like living beasts that we can control she looks at me as if I'm stupid.
4 and 5 every day haha
HAHAHAHAH holy shit i cracked up at #3
+hvf26 Explain!
I don't write on cars' plates but I do clean up with my shirt dirty logos...
Number 5 is fucking legit
#4 and #5 all the way
The lasts scene represents me and my closest friend Luis.
hey Lou i'd like to see more go pro clips of u driving the M3 :)
Hey Jack, our friend sold his M3 so we wouldn't be able to get our hands on it again, but we'll see what we can do!
The first one! haha
lol I do number 5 so much hahhahahaha
haha i do all of those things, gotta like number 4, i always do it ever if a nice car is driving past and people complain that they are cold, but i got my priorities
The last one is me all the time xD
