With Frank Heyl


WIth Mate Rimac (talking more about the technology of the car then the videos with Frank Heyl)


To find out everything you need to watch these three videos imo.

Funnily enough, I've only watched Shmee's video. I will watch Catchpole's when he actually drives it, couldn't give a crap what Emilia Hartford thinks of it.

I wanted to know all the details of the new Tourbillon, so for me there's nobody better at doing spec and nerdy details than Shmee.

Not sure if everyone's kept up with the All The Gear channel, but their last few video's have been pretty good IMO. The AI roadtrip, filming the volcano in Iceland. Maybe not as properly automotive as the AA channels and TDC, but its new and fresh.

Based on the viewing numbers I'm not sure it's what the masses want. Time will tell if they can sustain videos that get 200k views a month.

Can't believe that the AutoAlex Ferrari is worth so much in parts.

Bet it's a relief for him to hear that as it means he's got an easy route to profit.

No one’s heading to Shmee’s channel after that intro. Nailed it.

How much is it worth in parts?

Lots, likely more than he paid for it. They were throwing numbers like £1000, £5000, £8000 quite regularly. Whether someone would actually pay that is a different story but with everything on a Ferrari being expensive it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

I am glad they got it running. Parting it out at the start wouldn’t have been as fun, maybe at the end of the series? Still it’s doing gangbusters on the view count, 205k in twelve hours, high risk but high reward.

I didn't add it all up in my head, but the bit that aren't on the car such as interior trim etc were estimated at £5k alone. The gear selector that is installed in the car is worth £1k.

A couple of the Donut Media guys have started their own channel.

1 video, 150k Subscribers, Trending at No.6 eek

Might be one to keep an eye on.

I always take those numbers with a pinch of salt. They sound like prices a breaker might ask for who is happy to sit on the parts for years.

And I can guarantee that most of those trim pieces will be in a rough state having been out of the car for years.

Whenever I've broken cars or bikes I find you have to be the cheapest by a good margin if you want to move stuff quickly. Cheap enough that someone might think that's cheap I'll buy it just in case I need it. And by cheap enough I mean a half or third of the asking prices on ebay.

How many people in the world will need a replacement steering wheel for a 360 at any one time? (Likely no one). No one drives them anymore, can't remember the last time I saw one on the road and they used to be almost ubiquitous as far as Ferraris go.

Interesting getting a few behind the scenes takes on Donut.

Sounds like the typical fun in the beginning then venture capitalists buy them and it all gets serious and about the money.

Didn't realise Jermiah did so much of the writing, or that he was a scientist and a comedian.

They've got my sub will see how it goes.

Henry’s Hagerty vid has the same engine footage but goes one better and includes Valkyrie and T50 engine clips as well in a nod to the fantastic work done by Cosworth over the last few years.

I’ve really enjoyed the last few Hagerty vids, their production is a cut above most others I’ve watched and their ability to capture engine sounds is great. The T50 video was fantastic and that engine sounded spine tingling!

Exactly, maybe it is worth £50k in parts but I doubt you would even see half that if you did break it, the last car Ratarossa wanted to break one he sold it to Eurospares to avoid the hassle.

It is an interesting project but still not clear as to what he is planning, half the car / chassis was left in a skip so can it even go back on the road.

I think the point is more that he's heralded as some kind of driving god by too many, when in reality his driving talent is good but limited (as evidenced by the sheer number of incidents) and is ultimately only intended to generate clicks and attention. It's just folk getting sucked in to the youtube culture of celebrity thing.
I have only watched a couple of Misha's videos after being made aware of him in Auto Alex video's. This thread has made me curious though, how many incidents has he had (excluding during races).
You can’t exclude the race crashes. The whole issue is, he’s constantly driving beyond his abilities in a bid to keep up appearances and literally all the crashes he’s had in NLS and RCN have been his own doing. Anyway, here’s the list posted on the Nurburgring Life FB page from one of the locals/regulars:

- E30 Turbo - Overheated the brakes and binned it Wehrseifen
- BMW 330 drove into another competitor in RCN (average time trial) spun into barrier Metzgesfeld
- MX5 - spun off into the barrier in the wet - pre Carrousel
- BMW 330 - pre season testing, side gone
- BMW 330 - first lap of quali, first VLN, wheel on the white line barrier flugplatz
- E92 M3 I think Metzgesfeld
- M4 ignored low tyre pressure warning and tyre loosing grip, found the barrier bruchen lI
- BMW 330 - turned straight across the front of a GT4 car that was alongside, Bruchen Il
- GR86 - in waaay too hot into
Bruchen 1, misses the apex, gets on the marbles, barrier
You can add another one to this list now. He's just crashed the Bilstein M4 GT4 into the back of an Aston Martin in the NLS race, putting both cars out of the race. The incident happened when he failed to react to a yellow flag and the cars ahead of him slowed down quicker than he did. He's currently under investigation by the stewards for not respecting a yellow flag zone.

Trip to Italy would be my guess.

Think he said he was going back for the other bits as he couldn’t carry it all at once.

I wonder if it goes in gear as Scott seemed concerned the gearbox was out of line.

Really looking forward to this restoration as I reckon that will look pretty nice when finished and most of the parts look present so shouldn’t be too long a series.

Also enjoying All The Gear, their latest road trip was very funny and Jack is hilarious with his one liners.

We’re pretty lucky to have so many good channels at the moment. Long may it continue
