So I just stumbled upon these guys during my nightly YouTube binge, and I think they’ve got something special going on here.
First things first, let’s forgive the fact that they’re Canadian and give them a chance (I’m joking Canada, you guys actually like hockey so you’re automatically decent).
On a serious note though, these guys have a pretty unique format for reviews and a very rare chemistry on camera. I don’t want to make too big a leap, but if you took the Clarkson-Hammond chemistry and made it hyper Canadian instead of British, I think you get this. Maybe I’m getting a bit ahead of myself, but take a look and let me know what you think.

They are good, plus they do reviews on the sporty versions of cars that almost no one checks out, like the Acura A-spec.

Exactly! Like if there was ever a review channel that singled out Jalop-cars its these guys.

Yeah, which is great because some people don’t want showoffy, expensive German sedans but do like going quickly!
Q cars for the win!

Does it have an LSD at least?
I hate the Audi A1, but I’d take the S1 over this crap in a heartbeat!

I would assume so, the Civic Si has one and it’s about the same power level.

I hope to hell it does, really its only benefit is looks nowadays. I think I’d even take a Suzuki swift over a Mini!

I actually just found their channel a couple of weeks ago and pretty much instantly subscribed. I totally agree! The variety and qualities of the videos they put out is awesome!

I’ve met Jakub a few times and he’s a great guy. Knows his stuff and loves the heck out of his IS-F.
Theres some good creators out on the West coast too if you’re into JDM machinery.

Love Love LOVE The Straight Pipes! They cover all aspects of the car and are pretty informational but so much fun at the same time
