Completely. Initially I thought that this should be a TV programme, but then I thought no, it wouldn’t be the same as producers etc would interfere too much. These shows are great along with Smith and Sniff podcast.
No wonder people are turning off the telly when programmes like this are being made by individuals that knock the BBC and others into a cocked hat! Top-notch Jonny, only one question How did he manage to build up that collection? He is clearly not still wheeling trollies for supermarkets!
Fantastic video Jonny, your guest was awesome too, a really nice guy, very unassuming. Well done and thanks to Richard, I thoroughly enjoyed that show!.
"Bangin' the Rev Limiter" (not quite "binging", but close) catching up on all of your "Car Cave" postings! XLNT work, here!! The level of "fit and finish" is fantastic--your pursuit of "quality" is really appreciated! That your going beyond just featuring the vehicles, and letting your and the owner's passion (stated and understated) come through in your spontaneous selection of questions and shared "story" really "hits the mark". Please keep 'em coming!
Because off top quality programs like this on RUclips I find myself watching more RUclips now than I ever watch normal mainstream tv, quality Jonny mate keep it up 👍
Totally agree, I havent watched 'proper' tv for a few years now either, I came to hate how everything is all jazzed up (Americanised), overly dramatic and scripted. Shows like this remind me of how British TV was years ago, calm and informative but still entertaining.
Seen a spyker at CNC Liverpool and loved every little detail. This guy has a wonderful collection and can tell he enjoys each for individual reasons. Love this series and glad to found it so late in the year we're so many episodes have already been filmed. One day we all want a car cave like these!
I'm watching this thinking (i) where did I go wrong in my decisions that I don't have a car collection like that (ii) what a lovely guy (iii) another amazing video from Jonny!
Well that's set the bar rather high! Superb vision and execution, especially that mini. Congrats to Richard on a wonderful collection. Great stuff Jonny et al!
I read many of the comments and find it interesting to understand how other people feel about TLBS, so trying to sum up my own feelings I think I now feel like I'm part of a gang, and we're in a sort of virtual meeting place for mates and looking forward to when we can next come out to play.
Jonny, your channel just gets better and better. Talking of Spyker details, did anyone else notice the spokes on the wheels are the same design as the propeller on the Spyker badge? That's attention to detail.
Crikey. That Spyker's on another level. Stunner. Can imagine lifts put in that garage, to have another level of loveliness. Really cool episode. Nice fella. P.S. The best mini youll ever see. Hands down. Love it.
Hi Jonny. This is the definition of an eclectic mix. What a nice guy ! Very unassuming and has a genuine passion for all of his choices . The Lamborghini in it 's first iteration is by far and away the purist . Not sure about the idea's on the Porsche ! Still, each to his own ! Thanks Jonny .
What a cave indeed! I've just come back from my own but it's definitely the opposite end of the scale in terms of quality and cleanliness. Still, today's sunlight beaming through a roof window and bouncing off metallic bronze to bath a black car in golden light was pretty special. I wish there were more places for people to keep their collections, where you could maintain this level of elegance but also do some wrenching. Thank you to the Late Brake Show team and Richard for sharing these wonders, and for reminding me to get a better workshop...
Wish I could say I shared more of Richard's car history, but I did have a Honda CRX. It was my first car, and an Si. I loved that thing. Also really appreciate the F355. This was the newest Ferrari out when I really got into cars, and Ferrari in particular. I've always loved them, and I love that Richard's is well used and a Manual. I'd love a classic Mini too. Being from the states, they are almost as rare as the Spyker here!
Good to see a practical conversion like that ambulance to camper van rather than something impractical like Mr Nippy or a motorised garden shed. Maybe an idea for a project there - if you get your skates on you can live in it when your house gets demolished.
Wow wow wow, that was amazing. Besides the Spyker, I think I like the Lambo the most, it's a dream car from when I was younger, amazing. Richard has been smart to shop around and enjoy/experience as much exotic cars as he can. I love how he's converting those Defender ambulances into a camper. A Spyker is so rare, I'm quite happy you got to experience and even drive it, excited to see the next episode. That exposed linkeage on the Mini and Spyker is so nice to look at. Cheers
My first car was a 62 Mini Minor 850 with a 1300 engine swap and Cosmic alloys. I’m ashamed to say I chopped out the keyhole rear lights and fitted the later rectangular ones! Noooooooo! 🤯 Love the 964 too! Thanks for sharing this awesome collection Richard. (You too Johnny!) 😁 Afraid the Spyker isn’t for me though. I can admire the quality of workmanship etc but the aesthetic? Erm, not so much. Anyway, thanks again guys.
I wouldn't have a Lambo, BUT, a Spyker C8 is glorious. And really, really great to get out in it. The hardtop was also the car used at Le Mans and many other races. I do have two models from successive years, in two different sponsor colours. Great cars.
I do so love seeing peoples car collections and hearing why they have those cars, even if the car's aren't my thing it's interesting to hear why others have chosen them, and people who have a collection tend to have a bit more of an informed choice (beyond a potentially irrational love for them due to being a first or childhood car).
What a thoroughly nice man Richard is, and what a collection. I'm not at all jealous! Your channel gets better and better with each new upload. Great work.
I can't believe how much the car owner in this video reminds me of Casey Stoner! Which I might add is a great compliment. Such similar personalities. Amazing collection too.
This well put together vid is yet another reason our telly will be going in the skip. What a wonderful collection of cars. The white 964 is right up my street and the Spyker is such an oddity, it’s beautiful 👌
Richard has got some great taste in vehicles but i wouldn't be sad if the Panda took the place of the Lambo 😉 But seriously an awesome collection and the Landy conversion is the icing on the cake. Thanks Jonny, another 10/10
Jonny my hat goes off to you sir, it’s not just the best Late Brake Show but one of the best things I have seen in a long long time, superb, more of this please 😊
An excellent idea Jonny, and very interesting. As some have said a really nice bloke with a brilliantly eclectic collection of vehicles and each one a story! Compelling viewing!
check out the super soco, i have one for 2 1/2 years now never seen another outside a dealers in all that time, still not seen another on the road yet,,all those fantastic petrol powered machine in the middle an electric moped,,
Brilliant video Johnny.What a collection of amazing cars. Love that he’s got a Spyker amongst them all.I love quirky cars compared to the run of the mill ‘go to’ super cars.
Bloody hell - what an amazing garage. Love the supercars of course, but that Mini 😍. And the sold Panda 4x4 looked perfect 👌🏻. This chap has excellent taste! Great video, thanks.
someone probably already commented this ages ago, but ... sorry, the Spyker does not predate anything Pagani. The Zonda was first presented and started production in 1999, the Spyker was shown first in 2000. That being said, they still didn't copy anything.
What a cave. Another great idea and great show jonny. You are making normally tv look very boring all of a sudden. Been a subscriber for a long time and one of the best there is.
Great video Jonny and what a garage. Very jealous! Love the format. Small point though; the ‘pop-up’ about the Elise says 111bhp. The standard S1 Elise had a K-series with 118bhp but the one in the garage was the 111S model which had the VVC giving 143bhp. Small thing but I felt it worth mentioning!
This was brilliant. I’ve never wanted to own a Mini before but that one was lovely. Spyker was fantastic obviously. The white Porsche was really nice too. I was surprised that he was going to change the other 911 as it looked to be in such great shape but sure it’ll look amazing as a Speedster. THIS IS THE CONTENT I WANT TO WATCH. Thanks J. Hope you can find someone with some rare road car rally greats somewhere.
Seriously nice collection there. Funny how it was always Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s that did it for me when I was younger but now it’s all about air cooled 911’s. Just wish I could afford one
This channel beats anything on main stream TV. The dedication and quality of each video is just outstanding.
I totally agree!
Completely. Initially I thought that this should be a TV programme, but then I thought no, it wouldn’t be the same as producers etc would interfere too much. These shows are great along with Smith and Sniff podcast.
Agreed
Mainstream tv is dead. Rip
Agreed. TV is crap these days. I only watch a couple of things and rest is RUclips
No wonder people are turning off the telly when programmes like this are being made by individuals that knock the BBC and others into a cocked hat! Top-notch Jonny, only one question How did he manage to build up that collection? He is clearly not still wheeling trollies for supermarkets!
The BBC used to make shows like this. That was 25 years ago.
Absolutely, the question we all wanted to ask !!!!
Watching, talking, no shouting, no engine noise - half an hour of nice car conversation... I like that!
Glad you liked it Martin. Many thanks.
Strangely.
How nice to have a presenter that’s not only interested in his own voice and opinions, and gives the owner the space to tell their story.
Leaving 5th gear was the best thing you did. This content is so much more in depth and interesting.
This channel is getting better and better! Compliments!
Many thanks 👌🏽
Definitely
This “ going to people’s car caves and garages “ is an absolutely fantastic idea!!! What a great video!!!👍🏻🙏
Fantastic video Jonny, your guest was awesome too, a really nice guy, very unassuming. Well done and thanks to Richard, I thoroughly enjoyed that show!.

I wish we could have seen more on the Panda as that was just so good. My favourite.
Me too David. It was mint.
@@TheLateBrakeShow ive had five original pandas never a 4x4 and they are getting expensive and rare now ( Well expensive for what they are lol)
@@margysan My first car was an '85 4x4. I'd kill for another.
Real nice collection, like the 911s and elise and mini, I wish the panda was still here and love the landy ambulance.
Am I going crazy, or do I remember the original Panda’s rear seats basically being a bit of scaffolding pole that you unhooked to fold the seats down?
Because off top quality programs like this on RUclips I find myself watching more RUclips now than I ever watch normal mainstream tv, quality Jonny mate keep it up 👍
Epic 🙂
355 is so much nicer to look at than the 360.... the 430 etc....
Not much to say other than WOW, blown away by that collection. Can't think of a better way to spend half an hour. Thanks both.
Channels like this is the reason I don't require a TV Licence anymore
Binned mine 4 years ago, don't miss coooking shows, reality TV & endless repeats whatsoever.
Totally agree, I havent watched 'proper' tv for a few years now either, I came to hate how everything is all jazzed up (Americanised), overly dramatic and scripted. Shows like this remind me of how British TV was years ago, calm and informative but still entertaining.
Exactly same here, ditched my TV package in March. With some favourite channels like Jonnys who needs TV.
the bbc would like to know your location
@@BeaHasPP that's fine, but if you declare that you don't need a licence in the TV licence website then they don't harass you or send round the goons.

Excellent! Proper motoring stuff, enthusiastically presented, no massive egos to massage, no explosions or other nonsense!
I really love the sorts of videos. Your interactions with people as an interviewer are definitely what makes this channel great!
I'm watching this thinking (i) where did I go wrong in my decisions that I don't have a car collection like that (ii) what a lovely guy (iii) another amazing video from Jonny!
Jonny Smith: One man content machine. Loving everything you are doing here and with Richard, really refreshing automotive entertainment.
I'll never look at an industrial unit the same way again 👍😉
Well that's set the bar rather high! Superb vision and execution, especially that mini. Congrats to Richard on a wonderful collection. Great stuff Jonny et al!

That's a nice pile of cars but if I had to choose a favourite I couldn't leave the Mini out of the debate. Love what he's done to it.
Please please please please Jonny, keep this 'Car Caves' series going.
A wonderful watch. Thank you
Thanks John, we will ✊🏽
Crikey. That Spyker's on another level. Stunner. Can imagine lifts put in that garage, to have another level of loveliness. Really cool episode. Nice fella. P.S. The best mini youll ever see. Hands down. Love it.
Oh what a treat on a Saturday night,,great stuff Johnny loving the work
I watch in envious awe! Thank you to Richard for sharing his passions. Time for me to increase my driving lesson prices!

This will be a great series. Love the spyker (they were a future classic as soon as they were made) and the F355, those are fantastic in yellow.
One of the best garge.
Not about the money just about every car beeing a true piece of car history.
Love that 964...my favourite air cooled Porker.
I do so love seeing peoples car collections and hearing why they have those cars, even if the car's aren't my thing it's interesting to hear why others have chosen them, and people who have a collection tend to have a bit more of an informed choice (beyond a potentially irrational love for them due to being a first or childhood car).
I think the Murciélago looks better than every Lambo that followed it.
I think the Miura looks better than every Lambo that followed it.
@@procatprocat9647 True
I think the Aventador Sv is the best Looking version they have ever made
For me, it's always going to be that purple Diablo from Cosmic Girl. :)
Still use my Spyker race boots that were released with the F1 entry years ago. Picked them up in Amsterdam and couldn't say no!
Great garage, seems like a good bloke too. Congratulations on achieving such a perfect car collection.
Awesome video. What a great guy with multiple automotive labors of love. More of these cave series please!
Next cave coming soon, thanks for watching
This is a Gem!! Really!! It is a Gem! Along with Doug demuro, Mr. JWW and Carfection.
Love it Johnny ❤
Sat in my man cave drinking a beer.
The 964 and the mini were my favourites. Both very tastefully done.
What a thoroughly nice man Richard is, and what a collection. I'm not at all jealous! Your channel gets better and better with each new upload. Great work.
Great new addition in format to the channel, lovely collection & looking forward to the next instalment! Bravo Mr Smith.
I can't believe how much the car owner in this video reminds me of Casey Stoner! Which I might add is a great compliment. Such similar personalities. Amazing collection too.
Wow! Just perfect! The perfect collection and perfect example of rest-modding!
Another brilliant video Jonny. I loved this. Really helpful when you put the spec on screen as well. Keep up the awesome work. All the best.
Congrats! yout 2nd best video ever.! Being the first your interview with Mr. Chris Harris.
I hope there are enough caves . You do this so well thank you.
This well put together vid is yet another reason our telly will be going in the skip. What a wonderful collection of cars. The white 964 is right up my street and the Spyker is such an oddity, it’s beautiful 👌
Building a mini myself at the mo, that one is pure inspiration! What a tasteful and beautiful collection of cars. Well done that man!
Richard has got some great taste in vehicles but i wouldn't be sad if the Panda took the place of the Lambo 😉
But seriously an awesome collection and the Landy conversion is the icing on the cake.
Thanks Jonny, another 10/10
Jonny my hat goes off to you sir, it’s not just the best Late Brake Show but one of the best things I have seen in a long long time, superb, more of this please 😊
A well thought out group of cars, not cheap, and out of the realm of possibility for 99.999% of us I would imagine. Still nice to see.
Fantastic video here Jonny!
What a garage that is! Oozing cool from each car.
I think my favourite was the 355, finally one that gets used and driven ! Top episode Johnny!
Great episode Jonny, and a beautifully presented collection. Keep them coming.
Wow.... mind blowing show..!! Great collection!! Thanks again Jonny!!
Even a Jonny Smith becomes special in the Spyker! Excellent choice to take that one for a spin.
That's a well thought out collection of drivers cars... more of this type of thing Jonny 😎
An excellent idea Jonny, and very interesting. As some have said a really nice bloke with a brilliantly eclectic collection of vehicles and each one a story! Compelling viewing!

You’ve got some great original ideas with these mini series Johnny!! Great stuff thanks, really entertaining 👍
Great show. I couldn't even afford the rent on the unit Richard keeps his cars in, never mind the collection inside!
Amazing collection, love the 997 seats in that leather
Cheers Jonny and Richard, pegi 18 certificated cave. Lovely. :)
What a cave. Another great idea and great show jonny. You are making normally tv look very boring all of a sudden. Been a subscriber for a long time and one of the best there is.
Great video! Really good to see an enthusiastic collector. 😀
Very enjoyable episode! Richard seems like a top bloke. Maybe have him as a co-presenter in future
Great video Jonny and what a garage. Very jealous!

Thank you Jonny and Richard. What a great collection!
Cool garage surely, nice to see a Spyker in real like and not a game, what line of work does that fella do to have those, and is he hiring 😃
This was brilliant.
I’ve never wanted to own a Mini before but that one was lovely.
Spyker was fantastic obviously.
The white Porsche was really nice too.
I was surprised that he was going to change the other 911 as it looked to be in such great shape but sure it’ll look amazing as a Speedster.
THIS IS THE CONTENT I WANT TO WATCH.
Thanks J.
Hope you can find someone with some rare road car rally greats somewhere.
2 of my all time favourite cars, in the right colours aswell.
Dreaming of the day...spyker and 355
Some beautiful cars, but that Mini is STUNNING ❤️❤️ I'd be tempted to put a Honda Type R engine and box in it though!! .
Loved this one, Richard has fantastic taste. Thanks for sharing the cave! Top work.
Stunning collection, great video. Nice one Jonny, keep them coming.
This is such a great idea for a series, top work Mr Smith ! More please
What a cave. Some really interesting stuff in there.
Jonny this was such an interesting watch, Think you are onto something here. Keep up the good work.
Great video. Glad to see it's been filmed with thought to maintaining the anonymity of the location too.
Seriously nice collection there. Funny how it was always Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s that did it for me when I was younger but now it’s all about air cooled 911’s. Just wish I could afford one
15:58 The Pagani Zonda started in 1999
What a collection! The vision and detail on the Porsche and Mini are fantastic.
of most car collections this guy has it spot on a nice balance of cars well done mate
Lovely looking mini! Im getting mine restored atm, 19 panels being replaced haha
Love the new series, Jonny! Looking forward to more.
I’m tempted to have the space Landi-Lance camper off him; makes a superb start point.
This guys taste is exceptional - amazing garage, the mini is just 😍
