American Tuned has been nominated for a Webby Award. TG are proud of Rob and the team at Tangent Vector - and you can vote for your favourite in the Best Content Series category here -> bit.ly/43KALHh Voting closes April 20th.
It was such an honor to drive one of my favorite builds ever. Such a radical departure from anything im experienced with. And Scott can wheel like a mad man haha
are you going to be legally allowed to show us any of the raw on-board (or behind the scenes) footage from episodes featuring cars that aren't your own? because id really love to see that for this one, seeing you get up to speed in longer form.
I don't know why it is so funny to me that Rob pulles out his phone to record his car, while a professional camera crew is there. We love you Rob, don't ever change.
Pulles? One of two things happened. You wanted to spell pulled and messed up the D and the S, I get it we’re all dyslexic. Or two, you tried to spell pulls but you suck at life. And here I am being an asshole on the internet, who would have thunk?
As someone who's followed Rob's channel on and off for almost 10 years now, it's pretty cool to see him in a Top Gear video! Now let's hope that 4-rotor gets finished someday 😅
Well, it's not gonna be any time soon, he's a perfectionistic person so he'll probably rebuild the car from scratch as soon as it's "done" to fix all the mistakes made the first time around
This show is good simply because it's produced so relaxed, there isn't a sterile intro or dialogue, it's just Rob doing his thing with top gear funding and camera knowledge
Top Gear did a fantastic job. They realized that replicating the old Top Gear is simply impossible. So instead they pivoted to completely new content and it’s awesome
Rob dahm is what top gear has been missing, magnus walker and rob dahm are genuine car guys that appreciate the mechanics of cars and the work put in, they also do the work themselves which cant be said for any of the other people used
@@billballin6948 you’ve got a serious chip on your shoulder Bill. If you don’t like it don’t watch it🤷🏼♂️ You’re on your own in the comments here mate
Magnus walker is a clown what has he ever done what cars has he built? Slapping number stickers on busted 930s doesn't make you a car guy, at least Rob builds cars
Yup, there’s only 3 people I trust to drive my cars, my Dad, Kid Sister, and then a good friend that now teaches at a tech school and had been a dealer tech for a long time.
I have been watching motor journalism for over 15 year, and what i have to say is this is what it really means to be a car enthusiast and also one of the best video I've ever seen, kudos to the two of you, you made a new person.
I'd say you will see it when rob does a behind the scenes vid on his channel. He did one when he did his 4 rotor on here. why not with his 3 rotor. Its content for him to share
This series is great! My only complaint is I wish the episodes were longer. I've been watching Rob for years now and it's super cool to see him in a different context.
Love Rob. What a great fit for the show. He has such a natural presenter personality, and he's used to us laughing at him already from the years of watching him break his cars.
I think we all deserve a little more Rob dahm and Top Gear. There aren't too many people out there that can respect other people's vehicles and describe experiences the same way that a true car guy can. Good job Rob.
Exactly this needs to be the format, Rob brings out one of his rides and another guy brings out his and they just talk crap and take him for a test spin. Very cool
One of my favorite scenes Top Gear captured in this is the 'Jog' both Rob and Scott did as their vehicles were driven away from them. Awesome series. Great vehicles.
Just about the only automotive TH-cam that truly shows enthusiasts. The best part is seeing the builders watch their cars being driven. Keep it up TopGear, we want more episodes!
You need to do a lot more with Rob Dahm. He is the only reason I have subscribed to your TH-cam channel. When the American Tuned series is over I will unsubscribe.
One of the most beautiful builds in the scene. So cool to see it here with a deeper dive and a drive. Seeing Scott watch his truck drive around is also super cool.
This truck is really something else. Ever since i've first saw it on the Hoonigan channel, i've found it fascinating. I completely agreed with Rob & Scott about the fact that the more sensible way to do things for them would have been to build a LS-powered vehicle but then again, where's the originality in that ? One thing you can't take away from those two guys is their originality. That and their complete lunacy behind the wheel !! Love it !!
I love to see Rob on Top Gear, such a quality person. Super respectful to automotive industry and the people in it, a self-taught rotary scientist and thoroughly enjoy his episodes, can’t wait to see more! The guy has talent on the track and off.
Awesome! Mix of two different beast. Yet similar passions. I met Scott this year. Really down to earth guy. And you can tell by speaking with him. That his builds reflect his passions. A huge fan. Can’t wait for the next video.
Top Gear having Rob host a series is wonderful, plus I love the part where they get to hear how cool their cars sound going by, both of them had the same reactions.
Rob - you’re a great host. It’s a pleasure to watch you present this material vehicle. Would love to see a “vintage” top gear adventure series with Rob involved. Maybe Chris Harris and another unique personality. Would be awesome.
Rob is amazing, such respect for other builders and so down to earth. He’s a normal guy that’s in love with cars and you feel it. Top Gear has a winner here I hope they stick with it
i work security for the Willow Springs and I was here for this day. I had multiple calls and alerts saying they had fire and smoke coming from this track. Just to see when i show up its chuckles and Rob, i completely forgot about the fire warning and just sat in aww. The amount of black smoke and tire smoke was insane to see from across the track. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂
Great job Rob, I follow robs Channel but didn’t even know the top gear features had been released. Just came up as a recommend watch !. Will have to watch out and catch up with episodes.
Rob is such a good presenter. I know this from his own channel, but it's great to see how it translated to other channels. Way to go man, you killed it.
Rob gushing over his own car and how it looks while someone else drives it around the track is pretty much all of us who've ever put an ounce of love into our vehicles...
My dad had a 1950 ford truck just like this pulled the 4 cyl out and put a 352 clevland in it out of a galaxy and it was badass this was back in 1985 I miss that truck
Rob is like the perfect guy to be driving all of these builds because he knows exactly what it took to get it there and respect it - mechanical empathy!
Rob so cool man it’s like watching anyone that loves cars on the screen the way he jumped and was like “that sounds so cool “ at his own car with his phone out 😂😂

I love diesels, and rotaries, it's cool seeing you in a diesel finally! Maybe it will stick and you can build something with a diesel one day :)
You're a really natural presenter Rob, keep at it!
i’ve seen this thing in person, it’s truly amazing. scott is a master craft builder.
Congrats Again Rob!

They'd probably give him a hard time for him wanting that footage.
hahaha that crossed my mind too. It was just such a magical moment for me i forgot it wasnt just my normal youtube shoot
Muscle memory to record wild shit when it happens

Rest assured, as long as it makes money for him, it won’t😂😂😂😂😂
Well, it's not gonna be any time soon, he's a perfectionistic person so he'll probably rebuild the car from scratch as soon as it's "done" to fix all the mistakes made the first time around
Im also surprised how the hell did Rob end up on TG, glad to see him though. :))
@@billballin6948 you are clearly a very jealous person. Rob is the real thing. Get over it.

@@juliuspreloznik7236 I dunno, it took em long enough to realize that... Matt Leblanc, anyone?
Same, I stopped watching after they changed hosts. Bringing Rob onto the show has got me watching again after all these years
@@juliuspreloznik7236 this is just typical, american inspired dog sh*t.
@@mikescherrer4923 Dang I miss him, such a great host.
Rob hasn't disappointed me yet, another great episode. Top Gear is gonna have to bring Rob on permanently.
Rob is awesome as a video host - just needs some fire in him when he's behind the wheel
I agree
And pay him well enough to finish the 4 rotor as well lmao
i might start watching top gear again if they did, but we still need 2 more that get along as well as the original trio
Rob dahm is what top gear has been missing, magnus walker and rob dahm are genuine car guys that appreciate the mechanics of cars and the work put in, they also do the work themselves which cant be said for any of the other people used
Ahem, Chris Harris
No, it isn’t. The last thing Top Gear needed dithering soiling their name is this clown.
@@billballin6948 you sound like a Brit

@@Underpantsniper the speeeeed, the speeeeeed
Wanting to hear your own car run from the outside, but not trusting anyone else to touch it, is a problem a lot of us share.
Exactly
Yup, there’s only 3 people
I trust to drive my cars, my Dad, Kid Sister, and then a good friend that now teaches at a tech school and had been a dealer tech for a long time.
Old Smokey IS A BEAST!!! He’s the reason I’m building up a Cummins. Love his setup!!
Rob was the perfect choice for these segments. His love of these builds is just amazing. This is perfect. perfect perfect perfect.
Agree agree agree!! ❤️🤟🏻
I have been watching motor journalism for over 15 year, and what i have to say is this is what it really means to be a car enthusiast and also one of the best video I've ever seen, kudos to the two of you, you made a new person.
Rob Dahm hosting and doing this format is great and exciting to watch
Really enjoying this series. Rob is doing a great job. His enthusiasm and relatability is perfect.
Wish they would have put in Scott's reaction to driving the 3 rotor. Loving these American Tuned episodes, wish they were a little longer.
I'd say you will see it when rob does a behind the scenes vid on his channel. He did one when he did his 4 rotor on here. why not with his 3 rotor. Its content for him to share
Rob is awesome and totally down to earth, I’ve probably met him a dozen times in the past and never knew what he was capable of
Rob single-handedly making me watch Top Gear again. This was great.
I agree, after the three amigos left I stopped watching when Leblanc was in. With Rob I could watch episodes over and over and over
Rob is the true car enthusiast we all want to be! He just feels so much more genuine than any “TV host”
I can't get over how freaking cool it is to see Rob hosting a show after watching him on TH-cam for almost 10 years!
This series is great! My only complaint is I wish the episodes were longer. I've been watching Rob for years now and it's super cool to see him in a different context.
Love Rob. What a great fit for the show. He has such a natural presenter personality, and he's used to us laughing at him already from the years of watching him break his cars.
I think we all deserve a little more Rob dahm and Top Gear. There aren't too many people out there that can respect other people's vehicles and describe experiences the same way that a true car guy can. Good job Rob.
One of the coolest cars ever built.
No, it's ridiculously sh*te & inbred.
Scott: So, do we have a safe word?
Rob: That's....!
Rob is such a blessing to the community. The excitement he gets from just hearing his car and giggling is just so pure. Can't beat it.
When the hell did I miss the memo where Rob is now the host of a segment in top gear?! This is sick! Congrats Rob and Crew you guys deserve it!
I’m happy to see Scott made a comeback after the shop fire. Ol’ Smokey is a beast of a vehicle, it does everything well
ROB you are killing with this series. I could watch u trade rides with cool builds all day!
Indeed
Exactly this needs to be the format, Rob brings out one of his rides and another guy brings out his and they just talk crap and take him for a test spin. Very cool
This kind of content needs to be the lions share of this channel. Stories of the drivers AND the builds. It's so good to see this being well accepted.
I had to laugh at how happy rob was at the end. He just loves Rotaries 😹
God robs so good on this show I can’t get enough of it. Who ever hired rob for this show made the perfect move.
Rob saying, "It sounds so good!" and me trying to hear that Wankel sing at 10K RPM:
Editor: "CRANK THE EDM!"
That was the best thing to come out of Top Gear since the boys left.
I can’t get over how awesome the cinematography is in this video kudos to those who worked on it. Thanks Rob for another wonderful presentation.
One of my favorite scenes Top Gear captured in this is the 'Jog' both Rob and Scott did as their vehicles were driven away from them. Awesome series. Great vehicles.
Rob is such an inspiration ive been watching him for ageeees now. And Old Smokey is just next level build.
Old smokey may be gone, but legends never truly die
Love this series. You can feel the passion coming from Rob.
Just about the only automotive TH-cam that truly shows enthusiasts. The best part is seeing the builders watch their cars being driven. Keep it up TopGear, we want more episodes!

We love you Rob. Nice to see top gear getting adventurous
I am LOVING this series...Rob really makes it happen! Well done Top Gear (and Rob)!!!
Loving these videos with Rob. Keep him on the channel as long as possible!!
I agree, I have not been watching much of Top Gear but these last three episodes with Rob are killing it
This truck is really something else. Ever since i've first saw it on the Hoonigan channel, i've found it fascinating.

One thing you can't take away from those two guys is their originality. That and their complete lunacy behind the wheel !!
Love it !!
This is the best series Top Gear has produced in a long time! Great work!
5:48 - "Beating it like it owes you money" is my go-to phrase if I need to describe that level of...beating.
You’re watching too grown little boys trading their toys to play with. Absolutely awesome
I love to see Rob on Top Gear, such a quality person. Super respectful to automotive industry and the people in it, a self-taught rotary scientist and thoroughly enjoy his episodes, can’t wait to see more! The guy has talent on the track and off.
Rob, how you shut the door on your RX7 when your mate sat inside was classic!
Seeing both guys experiencing their builds for the first time from the outside was probably the coolest part for me personally.
Love this series! 👌
Rob was like a proud dad when he popped out his phone and start recording when the RX7 went off 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Rob is a great personality and has a ton of passion for cars. He is more than deserving of hosting this series.
Awesome! Mix of two different beast. Yet similar passions. I met Scott this year. Really down to earth guy. And you can tell by speaking with him. That his builds reflect his passions. A huge fan. Can’t wait for the next video.
Top Gear having Rob host a series is wonderful, plus I love the part where they get to hear how cool their cars sound going by, both of them had the same reactions.
Very cool! Love incorporating something so off the wall like this turbo diesel race truck! The 20B sounds awesome too. Keep these episodes coming!
Rob you are the best! Love every single thing you do and how much blood sweat and tears you put into your vehicles! Keep up the amazing work.
Same passion with different imagination!!
Loving this show 💥
This American tuned show might be my new favorite thing on TH-cam. Keep it up I love it!
*Anybody remember that retro film "Duel" .... this is the love child of that truck !!!*
This is authentic passion. Rob, love the giggles and laughs. It's so awesome man. Top Gear at its finest.
Rob is making such a great host! Every single one of these videos he has done with top gear so far is amazing. Keep up the great work!
I love these videos with Rob Dahm! I hope they make that man a full time host
I really wish this particular episode was an hour long, so good, I want more of chuckles and daddy dahm
simply an OUTSTANDING series! Rob is perfect. The cars are AWESOME. American Tuned is so, so right.
Happy to see you hosting Top Gear Rob! Its a fitting spot light for you.
Rest in peace. Great car
Finally!!!! Was looking foward seeing this truck. I have a 53 chevy truck and this guy got me inspired to do something different with my truck.
Rob - you’re a great host. It’s a pleasure to watch you present this material vehicle. Would love to see a “vintage” top gear adventure series with Rob involved. Maybe Chris Harris and another unique personality. Would be awesome.
This is soooo amazing and I’m only 3 minutes in. A lot more please!
The conversation is so great and genuine it’s like I’m there
Rob is amazing, such respect for other builders and so down to earth. He’s a normal guy that’s in love with cars and you feel it. Top Gear has a winner here I hope they stick with it

Friggin love rob.
I love how stoked he is.
Alway learning. Always trying to better his knowledge
For as crazy and wild a build as it looks, it really seems like it's well shaken out. Old Smokey is one of my favorite builds ever. Super unique.
Thank you for showing me a truck I never knew existed but would love to see in person!
Great job Rob, I follow robs Channel but didn’t even know the top gear features had been released. Just came up as a recommend watch !. Will have to watch out and catch up with episodes.

This is some of the best stuff top gear has put out in years
This series is awesome. Keep ‘em coming!
Love what both of your bring you the community! We need more people that think outside the box!

rob you got the chance of a life time bro! keep hittin higher
Rob is like the perfect guy to be driving all of these builds because he knows exactly what it took to get it there and respect it - mechanical empathy!
Your enthusiasm is so genuine and helps make the show
This is a very refreshing series. Hell yes Rob
Let's do this again ASAP! Thanks for bringing me in on this. The episode came out great!
What an insane truck, and it’s great to see rob out on the track
Sweet glad to see Rob doing a top gear show love it so far. This build is sick. I love diesels almost as much as rotaries
I cant think of anyone more perfect to host this series.
That is one crazy truck...But FD RX-7 still pulls on my heart strings though.
Rob so cool man it’s like watching anyone that loves cars on the screen the way he jumped and was like “that sounds so cool “ at his own car with his phone out 😂😂
I been loving this series, great job rob and crew
What a machine! I watched the Pike's Peak run, you should too. Wow - diesel.
Awesome Rob, love it.
Oh, this was good. The contrast between the two cars was really cool.
Liked being able to see this truck on a track. Thing is incredible.
You couldn't ask for a better host. Rob is as nice as they come.
I feel the same way when i hear somebody else play my drums
"IT SOUNDS SO GOOD"
It absolutely puts a smile on my face every single time I see that thing!
