Anyone watch videos by "Hoovie's Garage" on Youtube?

I really like this guy's channel. He frequently buys the cheapest version of some very expensive cars and then documented his experience with them... or generally plays with cars.

I find him annoying and he tries way too hard. There is a whole generation of Auto YouTubers trying (but failing) to be the next Clarkson\May\Hammond.

yeah I watch his show. Not my fav but moderately entertaining and way better than captain quirky demuro

VinWiki and Tavarish are pretty entertaining as well.

He's a bit over the top with his purchases, it's getting repetitive.

Buying a RR based on clicks? Really?

I can look by his generally annoying personality, Buying an F355 and getting it fixed relatively cheaply, and then having it burn to the ground is decent "TV" in my book

I watch but lately just "meh" in my book.
I also watch Tavarish, Demuro, and VinWiki. After a while they start to all seem the same. I like the quick hitting VinWiki videos, anything over 10 minutes better be damn good to hold my attention.

I watch those guys too. I find them mildly entertaining.

My favorite channel is the Australian ‘Mighty Car Mods’.

Their production quality is much higher.
They usually stick to JDM cars. The 240Z they bought in Japan, modified everything including a Nissan GTR engine is very well done.
