My favorite part of his show is when he says "guud n tight" as Streten makes reference to torque specs for non critical areas.

He said his Ring taxi tribute car is in Spokane WA now. I'm considering driving over the mountains to check it out. Hopefully it is on display at the dealership.

I'm considering marking "gutentite" at the top of the torque scale on my torque wrenches

He runs a great channel but please ditch the maserati crap. There are so many other cars that we would be interested in. They are built like shit.

Stick to BMW and Porsche please as your core and sprinkle in other makes but not a Maserati, they aren't cool or interesting.

He should have bought the pre-face lift Quattroporte which had the more reliable engine. Waldo's world did a video on it.

Just finished watching "Project Fresno" about 4 days restoration of the salvaged E60 M5 6-spd. Super entertaining and useful, if you have similar car or something else S85-powered. That V10 is just.... ridiculously awesome!

+1. It's a BMW channel. More awesome barn finds, miraculous restorations, painstaking interior refits, clever hacks for NLA parts, etc. that's what I want to see. If he wants to branch out to something new, it's diesel BMWs. BMW made some great diesel engines that are well worthy of vapour blasted castings.

...but then I've never paid the guy a dime, so he definitely shouldn't listen to me.

I liked the Maserati episodes - mix it up a little. Interesting to see how it compares (poorly) to our beloved BMW's and again see how he's a human that gets crappy luck handed to him as well.

Also if you saw the most recent episodes, you might have seen where he ducks out to do a podcast with Jason Camissa. In it (I listened to it today) he mentions considering Porsche and Mercedes as well. Be prepared if you want only BMW.

I'm happy to do it, I get hours of entertainment and knowledge from his channel. The 30 second ad breaks give me time to refill my beverage.
