And yet it's one of the few that still hasn't crossed the 1M subscriber mark :c But it's definitely the best out there!

@@Bmontepeque11 well we'll be there once they hit that mark :)

Henry Catchpole is just on an entirely different level to all the others.

@@Bmontepeque11 Not everybody has such a refined taste as we do.

@@Bmontepeque11 i feel all of us that watch this channel would be friends in real life. we know art when we see it.

Agreed.

Yes sir ,so much work goes into these vids there like small hollywood productions ,camera angles ,pan shots ,music score and well presented by henry ...great stuff

I agree! These videos have unique atmosphere what makes them so great.

That's why it's called Carfection

same here!

I'd heard a variation on that story: that Gilles had found the gearbox too easy to use. He felt it eroded the skill of driving and, if everybody had it, it would have reduced the advantage his skills gave him over his other competitors.

More like tragic. None of the SHIFT PADDLES I've used have ever been flappy. If they'd be flappy then they'd be impossible to operate or something would be broken. That word describes them so poorly overall, I've never thought of my shift work or the functioning of an electro-hydraulically or electrically (?) actuated manual gearbox to be anything like "flappy". They are shift paddles. And the gearbox system is semi-automatic, or automated manual, or nowadays double clutch. Could be actuated by buttons, and most non-gearheads don't even shift themselves but just leave in on automatic, so the paddles themselves don't describe the gearbox itself.

@@pistonburner6448 I’m fine with it, as it’s just light hearted vernacular 🤓 There are loads of examples like this though….. “Driving Stick” always makes me wince by the same measure. It’s a manual gear lever, and a manual gearbox. Nobody is driving stick 🙄

I'm not sure but wasn't it Clarkson who first called them that? Or did he just popularise the use of the term?

@@psalmco2425 I think it was him yes 👍🏻

@@psalmco2425 I'm pretty sure that's correct. And it's typical of Clarkson.

Yes and what a horrible day that will be.

Shame this car sounds boring as hell.

Can't lie, I don't enjoy this sound. I'd be happy if it was electric. It sounds like its being choked to within an inch of it's life. Just put it out of it's misery already, the only decent sounding turbo V8 of this gen was the Pista. The rest don't do it for me tbh.

@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks well you now have plenty of options to fulfill your mediocrity.

There will be, soon as people stop being sheeps and guided like cattle by greedy elites. Evs aint even that eco friendly when you factor in billions of euros needed to be spent for the infrastructure and electricity. Also, 1 cruise ship pollutes as much as 1 million cars, so who's the problem ?

New BMWs have gone from DCTs to torque-converter automatics.

I’m the same. I find them great driven flat out. Also when driving dead slow, or in traffic. Everything else in between (95% of my driving) they are less good, often annoying and get boring quite quickly 🤓
