OK - Make it a top 10 if you must.

@Jacob 's comment on the Oil Filter Thread about Project Farm got me thinking... We might have a lot of overlapping interests here. I might discover some great YouTube channels that you watch if we do have overlapping interests.

So what channels are on your top 3, 5, or 10 list? Maybe it's just a top 1 favorite.

I don't subscribe to any and only regularly check out one channel: Doug Demuro. He does exotic/rare car reviews and drives some stuff that most people can only dream of. The guy has made a name for himself - 3.5M subscribers. And he actually insures the cars he drives, sometimes up to 10M$ for one day. Because of his professionalism and following, wealthy people keep throwing their big dollar cars at him to drive. What a job.

Hi Folks,

Another back story...This one was embarrassing to me. My secretary let me know a fellow from Public Affairs was on the line...something about a Ferrari. ??? So I picked up the phone and it was a fellow that I knew from my managing off road racing and the SCCA racetruck series that I had inadvertently started (another thread). How would I like to be given the keys to a Ferrari TestaRosa. Thinking I should say no...I said sure. Now there were some stipulations....Welll Okay what are these stipulations. I could only have the Ferrari for about 3 hours and then I had to deiver it to World Headquarters for some big wig VP to drive. Also, It could not be driven on anything but Ford Property.. Okay, so I met the fellow and here is this absolutely gorgeous low slung Ferrari TestaRosa.,V 12 engined work of art. So I climbed behind the wheel and drove it around the Ford Engineering complex...then decided to take over to the Dearborn Proving Grounds (DPG). I used my access card to access the high speed test track, speed limit 85 mph. I put my foot into the wonderful sounding V 12 and the speedo reached 145 mph...I backed it down but too late...the Test Track folks in their Bronco were heading to me...so I ducked off the track for a moment and then headed to the handling course which I knew very well from all the testing of my SCCA racetruck Test Mule. So taking it slow I was amazed at the handling....What fun!! Then I decided to push the Ferrari to limit on the handling course. What I did not know was that Canada geese landed on the track and as I came flying around the final sweeping turn I hit the goose shit and the Ferrari and I rocketed off course into the muddy grass. Yikes! Well, the car and I came to a halt. The Ferrari was mud coated and I had to deliver it to World Headquarters!... Wounded dignity and all, I sedately drove the Ferrari over to the Engineering Car Wash, figuring this would clean it up pretty well.... No go! The Ferrari was too wide and too low work....Crap...Now what?...so I drove to the Fire Station a half block away. I asked I I could have a Garden hose laying on the drive that they used to wash the Firetrucks. to wash off the mud. The firemen, puzzled, said sure so I pulled the Ferrari up to the hose...So here I am washing the Ferrari in my Suit and tie and the Firemen that poured out of the Firehouse were laughing and making fun of me....I must have been beat red with embarrassment, but Hey...how many people ever got to drive a Ferrari, much less the top of the line Ferrari at the time....

Best,

Hahah, damn geese, I've had enough of my own issues with them on Wisconsin race tracks. And let me tell you, when you only have 2 wheels, it doesn't go quite as well as being able to just hose things off. :D It doesn't matter how fast you're going, you hit a patch of that greasy stuff, you're going down!

I watch a lot of Oz stuff because I’m not a Jeep guy and never was big Tacomas. There’s more rig variety in the Oz videos and they have more gnarly trails.

BTW: check out mine! If you like hardcore 4x4ing, you’ll enjoy this video (some other cool trips on my profile too from when I lived in Guatemala)
