/DRIVE is an online video network that celebrates the culture of cars, taking our audience on the road, to the races, to the factories, to the studios — and to other places car lovers have always wanted to go, but never had the chance.

Because I haven't found a /Drive discussion thread, here's one! Discus what you see here!
 
I like Drive (been following them for about half a year) because they talk about the stupid stuff that I constantly think about anyway. Like how you can get a 90s V12 BMW for much less than the cost of a new Camry, and how it's a horrible idea (and that you should totally do it anyway). It's the same kind of stuff that me and Doug always joked about back in the day.
 
Only thing I watch on Drive is Chris Harris. They're all very good, but I don't really like most of the shows in general because I'm not a fan of tuner cars, and most of it is completely irrelevant to me anyway.
 
I enjoy the /Drive channel. Pretty quality content they churn out. I especially like Leo's Shakedown series, but the other series are just as fun.
 
I haven't watched the whole C7.R helmet cam video yet, but from what I saw, I'm very surprised and equally impressed. I didn't think that Chevy would adopt the F1-style steering wheel and do away with the manual-style gear shifter for the paddle shifters. I also thought the rear-facing camera which actually tracked the movement of cars with a CGI arrow was a nice and beneficial addition.

Thank you for linking me to that. I probably would have never seen that if it weren't for this thread. 👍
 
Been watching it for awhile now. Gotta say my favourite is Chris Harris on cars, really nice and honest rewiews of his. Driver's eye aswell. Haven't watched much of the other ones but overall I really enjoy the channel :)
 
I love /drive, especially after/drive (thus watching ammo channel). I seem to be one of the few who don't like Harris though.

If you like /drive you will love petrolicious ;)
 
It's my primary source of visual, automotive-related entertainment, alongside Top Gear. My favorite segment in it is "Chris Harris on Cars"


So far, my top three favorites are, in no particular order:

- The Goodwood Revival RAC TT 2013, in a Lister Jaguar Coupe. -- /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
- Ferrari F40 v Ferrari F50. Like You've Never Seen Them Before /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
- Leh Keen's Rain Dance - 24 Hours Nürburgring - /DRIVER'S EYE

The only thing I've watched so far is /MY LIFE a Rallyist and it's pretty cool. One of these days I'll sit down and watch a few more of their "shows" since they seem to be pretty well done.
 
Like most of their stuff. Chris Harris is generally good as is Tuned. Would be good to see more Ride Apart and Big Muscle but I guess those are on the way for this latest series. The latter in particular I'm impressed by, as they've introduced me to things I only really had a passing interest in before. As TV-style shows go, that's about the highest praise you can give.
 
Yeah I mostly only watch Chris Harris, but watch a few of tuned and the Driver's eye videos.

The new young guy doing Rally stuff is something I watch aswell.
 
I've always been one for quality and /Drive doesn't disappoint. I know that Chris Harris is very much the one that everyone loves and only watches on the channel, but the others are quite enjoyable. After /Drive is nice to listen to while doing homework or other tasks on the computer. Love when they explore car companies with shows like Inside Koenigsegg and Inside Bentley. Glad there's a discussion thread here as I always thought about having a place to talk about /Drive without working with Youtube's commenting system...
 
Love /Drive one of the best car channels out there. List of my favourite shows on Drive in order of best to not the best. :P
1. Chris Harris On Card
2. Tuned
3. Inside (Bentley, Quattro etc.)
4. Test Drive
5. After Drive
 
I stumbled on /DRIVE Network accidentally, I am glad that I did, And even better knowing there is dozens of fans here on my Fav. (And only :P) Forums !
 
Even if I'm not at responsible for this I'm glad /Drive is getting some attention here.

Love their videos. Especially their inside look at Koenigsegg.
 
I normally assume that I'm one of six people who love Leo Parente and Shakedown. He does a great job summing up the racing news for the week, and very often has some interesting opinions to share about damn near everything. I do my best to watch all of the episodes every week, and they're as hit or miss as anything else out there. I tend to find that the best mix is usually Drive's discussion shows with the reviews from Motor Trend, and a dash of artsy content from Petrolicious.

If you want to see a sad state of video reviews, the direction that Car and Driver has gone as of late has been very disappointing, especially compared to what they would usually put out a year or so ago.
 
So the last episode in this season of /Tuned tonight, featuring a canyon-carving GMC Syclone...

The Panama trilogy was fantastic - I'd actually watch a travel show with TheSmokingTire guys just aimlessly exploring places :lol:

And since /Tuned is ending for now, this means only one thing... Beeeeeg Muscle.
 
YSSMAN

Yeah, not keen on that. He's occasionally funny but it's generally buried in undue sneeryness and the feeling he enjoys the sound of his own voice too much.

Also a Petrolicious devotee though, easily my favourite site on the web at the moment. And Motor Trend definitely has some cool stuff - Roadkill and Dirt Every Day are great fun to watch.
 
I won't say I love Shakedown, but I still usually watch it. The Daytona 24 debrief was pretty damn good.

My favorite shows so far are Chris Harris on Cars (obviously), Drive Clean (and Larry's personal YouTube Channel), and Ride Apart. Wouldn't mind seeing that come back again soon. MLAAR is pretty good too, as are Big Muscle/Tuned. Afterdrive is pretty hit-or-miss to me, but I like the idea of a few guys just sitting around for half an hour and running with a topic.
 
I watched Matt Farah's comparison of a used E46 M3 against a Fiesta ST. It made me wonder if he gets money to promote buying brand new cars.
 
I love everything on drive especially big muscle but I can't be only one that loves drive clean right?! Literally made me look at washing my car differently and made me enjoy it more than I thought I could!
 
It's a very enjoyable channel, I've been following it for about a year and a half now. I like Matt Farah's no nonsense, no bullcrap, tell it like it is approach, he seems very down to earth and seems to appreciate what he's doing. Chris Harris is pretty good too, he and his team came up with a lot of great film in recent years (the Mille Miglia report, the Goodwood Revival in a Lister, the 956 at Weissach, F40&F50, just to name those). I'm not a huge fan of Leo Parente's delivery, so I have a lot of trouble watching his interventions. Same with Mike Spinelli. Driver's eye is fairly enjoyable, especially Leh Keen's anthological wet lap at the Nurburgring.

Roadkill is absolutely awesome. There's a TV show from the UK that's getting a bit long in the tooth that could learn a trick or two from those guys.
