Sorry /Drive, but your content has continually fallen down a cliff due in part to your paywall (necessary, I get it, but still not paying) and in part to the departure of Chris Harris.

And, dare I say it, Jethro Bovingdon is the best automotive reviewer out there. The 458 Speciale Aperta review in the pouring rain has completely solidified this opinion for me.

The cinematography (can I say that for a Youtube video?) is absolutely inspired in the dreaded conditions, and the balls to film a quintessential Ferrari going sideways in the rain with the top down will keep my soul searching.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Everybody else in the EVO team is great too: Henry Catchpole always brings a smile, Richard Meaden rips apart the supercars in spectacular fashion (being the lucky one to drive all 3 of the new Hypercars), and editor Nick Trott being informative and light-hearted as possible about it all.

And don't forget that Harry Metcalfe and Chris Harris were once part of the EVO team too.

And here is the plain old 458 Speciale review, in case you'd like to see the more informative side of Jethrow and the EVO film team.

Honestly, now that I think about it, you're right. They really put out consistently fantastic videos.

Petrolicious consistently makes me happier to watch.

Not only the paywall, it seems like there is both less content from /drive, and the few videos coming are all kinda... meh. Nothing super cool.

Evo really picked up their game with stuff such as 911 GT2 vs. SLS Black Series and some great adventure stories.

When did Harris leave? I haven't paid attention since the whole drive debacle and consequent unsubscribe. I do miss big muscle though.

A few weeks ago, but he's starting his own free channel this week starting off with a classically sideways review of the new AMG GT

XCAR is pretty good too. Here's their review of the 959:

We don't have to choose do we?

No but I like to argue with everything! Just a way of life!
