Risky shot, but I have decided to create a new channel called Gentil's Garage Extension, specifically created to show longer versions of some of the main channel videos, but also for other videos that divert slightly from the main channel's topic, which is mainly car diy.

I personally think thing the E38 looks better than the E39.
Understated yet elegant and well proportioned lines. The same can't be said about its great grandchild

I just watched a debate called the People vs the Car, from 1971, on the BBC Archive YT channel. A interesting debate on a matter that is still relevant today. Also, great backdrop where guests and audience are sitting on some lovely motors. Video link in comments:

I recently found Alex Ball's channel about the production of a lot of 80's hits. I cannot play an instrument for the life of me, but i always loved music history and it is fascinating to learn the process that artists used to create their iconic sounds:

A a big fan of Fords of this era (Focus and Mondeo) and this car ticks all the boxes for a practical daily car.
Mk3 Mondeo Ghia X looks POSH.
Wood-rimmed steering wheel! POSH.

Now here is a rare sight, a Fiat Barchetta in Orange called Arancio. In 30 years, this is the very first time I see this car in this colour in the flesh.

This one seems to be reasonably priced. Great colour and practical.

This is a good and usable daily classic. Looks just as good as it did in the 80's and still keeps up with current traffic. Unpopular with some enthusiasts, but from experience I prefer the 1.8l inline 4 instead of the 2.0l six.
First auction shoot of the year ❄️✔️
Incredibly original E30 318i, only 33k miles on the clock!
