In a video made for you... the viewer, we mark the occasion of hitting 100,000 subscribers on the Auto Shenanigans channel. I've organised a special road trip in which we'll be taking in some of the sights and history related to the channel.
Come along on this awesome journey and there might be a bit of a surprise later on. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
For me, you’re a genuine guy who mixes UK history with a dash of humour. Here’s to a million!
Nice one, thanks mate

Can’t wait to be able to say “been there since 100k” once you hit 1 mil
I've been here since 10k! 😂🎉
I've been here since about 65 subscribers, congrats have enjoyed every single episode, one of the very TH-camrs there is.
Just checked. It was about 4.8k when I subbed! Amazing progress tho! 😍
He was on 400 subs when I subscribed
@@m1geohow to check?
Just realised how early i was on watching your fantastic videos.
Cheers mate!
That ending brought a tear or two to my eyes, such raw and honest emotion. It was beautiful to watch and so well deserved.
Yeahman. Really happy for the lad.
Been a viewer for around 8 months it's been fun watching channel grow from 58k I think it was when I subbed.
Nice one, thanks mate!
Sniff, sniff 😢
Probably one of the most humble yet fantastic celebrations of 100k subs! You've got a great presentation style and should be proud of what you've achieved with this channel.
Nice one, Thanks for watching!
What an absolute power play... You won't see many channels celebrating this hard for a 100k milestone! Major props to you, and here's to another digit on that number - or maybe two!
Major props - I saw what you did there! 🛩😂
@@hairyairey Ah, the wonders of being raised under the belief that every pun is a good pun...
... intended or not!
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
The uncontrolled giggle as you realise you've done it is priceless, proves that it does mean a lot to you. It's well deserved and the 100k skywriting was brilliant. But it does set the bar rather high for when you hit 250k!
I must be one of the odd ones who fond the channel via the All the Services videos, specifically the one on the old Severn View one. Watched the rest over a few days (lockdown, yay) and have been watching every upload on the day of release since. A little slice of TH-cam that could only have been done in Britain!
His giggle reminded me of Bevis and Butthead 🤣
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Congrats John!! Said this before, but it’s you and your great presenting style that truly make this channel watchable. Here’s to the next 100k! 🎉
agree 100% for me its his dry sarcastic wit, mixed with the seeming lack of effort to his filming style i love about his vids, it just works
True story 👌
Best content on TH-cam, thanks Jon.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
It’s not just the content you’re producing, Jon, it’s the person in front of camera. A series documenting stretches of motorway can sound boring enough, but needs a great personality to carry it off, and you do that in spades. Congratulations on your achievement and here’s to another 100,000 more.
Finally, Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabs! (Yes, I saw the one under the tarpaulin too!)
SAABs! Classic 900 Convertible in yellow - Nice
The Yellow one is the daily for a Chief Flight Instructor. I asked about that :D
From a few months watching Yank terribly confused about how your Motorways come together... Love the humor
Thanks so much mate, that's really kind of you and really appreciated :)
Breaks my heart to hear you say that you think the Motorway services series was a failure :( that exact series is why I started following your channel!! Well done and please keep up your good work, your videos have become a weekend watch for me !! Well done
Failure may have been a bit strong. It didn't succeed in the way I was expecting :D
Bloody amazing John, your presenting style is one of the best I have ever come across on TH-cam, so I am absolutely not surprised that 100k of us have decided you are a worthwhile recipient of our interest, truly. I am so glad this channel is getting the attention it deserves, and it isn't often that such genuine jubilation is visible these days on the internet. Well done, this has been a long time coming :)
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
John,
I've been with you since (almost) day 1 and I have to say it's not just the content, it's the way you deliver said content. A great sense of humour, silly nonsense and whacky shinanigans, some interesting information and it's all so well delivered. As a patron to your channel, I'll glady & happily continue to support the channel as long as I can.
Amazing to see how it's grown and developed into something quite unique. Let's hope it continues to grow as it should. Top job 👍
Same.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Do you know John, why we all tune in to watch these? You are by far, one of the most interesting, enjoyable, funny channels on TH-cam. I've said before, it is one of the best channels on youtube about anything! The main reason we tune in and watch is you John. You are awesome! Literally could not imagine anyone else doing these videos. Be damn proud of yourself, you deserve it
Thanks a lot mate!
14:17 - it's great to see your live reaction to the happy event! Well done, Jon! Here's to the next 100,000.
stumbled across the Service Station series and stayed. The Secrets series are illuminating, the research, the mispronunciations, the bridges, the innocent bystanders. Excellent stuff Jon. 🎉
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Oh goodness, Jon, it's probably a bizarre thing to say, but the grin on your face during some of those aerial maneuvers is magical - you clearly really enjoyed that flight. The story of your channel is actually lovely to hear, as someone who is considering taking the plunge and starting their own channel, and helps me keep a realistic view of what to expect. Thank you for that Jon, and thank you for the hours of joy your TH-cam channel has brought me. You are still my favorite weekend relaxation channel, and I appreciate every minute of your videos.
Yeah it was a first time for me to do such a flight, surprisingly it's not a regular thing. Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
congratulations John on your 100k. This is brilliant and is a reflection of all the hard work and effort you put in Here's to the next 100k
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
I'm not really sure how, sitting here in central Canada, I've ended up with a Sunday morning routine that involves watching videos of roads in the UK on which I've never driven and probably never will. But I've really enjoyed them a lot and I'm very happy to be one of your first 100,000 subscribers. Congrats!!
I don't even drive, but here we are.... 😂
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
The next series: Secrets of the Airports 😊
Your sense of humour and great presenting style are what make your videos so watchable. Well done and keep up the great work.
AN69 what a great bus 😏
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
This video is so wholesome. This is exactly why we watch these videos. You're entertaining, informative, humble and you add humour. Congrats on the 100k
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Aw Jon mate, I'm totally made up for you !
Congratulations and well deserved!
I was even a little bit moved when you hit the refresh button for the 100,000. 😁
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Make the videos and they will come! I have noticed that it is as much the presenters personality as the content that swings the deal for me. The logical extension of which is that 100k people have met you and decided to hang out with you. Can’t be bad mate. Congratulations.
Nice one, cheers mate
Thanks to everyone who made your flight possible; they're champs. Congratulations on hitting 100K, and letting us share that moment. Who'd think a channel covering UK motorways would be a success? I'm glad it is, and I look forward to what comes next.
Nice one, thanks for watching!
Many congratulations John, Nobody deserves 100k more than you my friend. Long may it continue.
I'm one of the apparently few who didn't start out with Secrets of the Motorway. Found you by chance through forgotten race tracks, assumed there'd be more of that so subbed. Ended up addicted to random drives up and down motorways! Well deserved success, and the amount of raw joy in this video says it all. 100k is huge!
Nice one, Thanks for watching!
CONGRATULATIONS, Jon! Well done, indeed. Your quirky sense of humor, interesting bits of information and the unexpected keeps us watching. Here's hoping for continued success and more creative ideas.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
I remember subscribing just as you'd finished the service station challenge, thoroughly impressed with the content and editing and was hoping you'd keep at it and the channel would grow... And you did! You did a thing, and what a great thing it is. Nice one Jon! 🎉
Nice one, thanks mate
Many years back when I was 23k subscriber, I said this was my absolute favourite channel.... and it still is!
Whether is was the Forton services video, Birmingham BTCC track, random g/f appearances or the current Motorway vids.
Sunday nights have been a delight to sit down and watch a shenanigans video.
Keep it up mate 👍🏻
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Well deserved. One of the most entertaining channels on TH-cam. Many years back, in the dim and distant past before the interwebs was a thing I used to work for the BBC. Of course back then they were a bit different... (larger for a start) but as a result I do fancy that I can spot a really good presenter when I see one, and it has been a real pleasure to see how you have developed Jon. I reckon if we were back in the glory days of network TV you'd have a queue of channels wanting your services, but as things stand today, I would guess that even with just 100,000 you are probably doing better than some of them... so it's probably better to keep on going here - and on to your first 1 Million. I could easily see that happen. So well done and here's to the next.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Great work, as a Yorkshire man I enjoy the sarcasm in your humour, keep up the good work.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Speechless mate! Not just 100k subscribers, but what a way to celebrate (now I know why you were in Elstree!). Absolutely top result, so incredibly proud of you - and for those who don't know, a man of many talents as Jon is a great musician and fantastic rock drummer. Here's to doing a gig together again soon!
Congratulations John, this is so deserved. I got a bit emotional watching this. I joined early before 10k and never miss an episode. Your presenting style is great. I look forward to more wicked, sweet, awesome content soon.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
And to think how few subs you had when your Abandoned Roads series caught my eye (and my sub)…
You know what? Bollocks to them who say 100K isn’t many. I think it’s a bloody good milestone for a one man outfit with a camera, a drone and an old Saab, so you enjoy it as much as you want, mate! Keep making these videos and I’m sure you’ll crack the quarter million soon
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Very well deserved Jon 👍🏻 TH-cam channels don’t grow quickly by accident; they grow due to hard work, interesting content, likeable personalities & high production values - you tick all boxes so it’s no surprise to me you’ve got to 100k…congrats! Onwards to 250k 🙂
Hats off to you
Cheers mate
Nicely done Sir! Very watchable presenting style. Factual, entertaining, and altogether positive. Nicely done.
Cheers mate!
You are awesome. As a Californian, I am fascinated by the UK roadways !
I still think you all have entirely way too many different lines and markings on your roadways .. but I'm sure you feel the same about our crazy US roads. 😅😅😅
I've only driven in the quiet suburbs of Connecticut, I'm sure the city centres in Cali are probably a little more busy :D
No John .... it's one of the best channels .... and you're humble about it , my friends all watch this channel and as we are all over the country then talk about as we drive up and down the motorway & roads ... keep them coming, half a million is on its way .... 👍
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Your videos are always a highlight of each week, congrats on the milestone!
Me too - usually going up on a Sunday a nice treat
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
This video genuinely made me emotional! Huge congratulations! You completely deserve it. How strange feeling so proud of someone you don’t know! 🎉🎉🎉
Nice one, thanks mate
John, you are a top bloke. A thoroughly deserved 100 k. All the best for the future.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Absolutely made up for you John! Proud to say I’ve been with you since the earlier days and have been recommending your channel to anyone I bump into.
It is testimony to who you are as a person that I started welling up when you reacted to reaching the 100,000 mark - a humble, genuine person who has a great presenting style with spot on humour!
Congratulations on doing “a thing” and doing it so well x
Nice one, thanks mate
Congratulations, John, well deserved it is too. I had tears in my eyes when you did the actual 100,000 tick-over at the end, just due to your genuine and down to earth excitement and happiness.
:) Nice one, Thanks for watching!
When you started your 100k campaign, I was hopeful for you, but wasn't sure if it would happen. The thing is, you are a genuine and passionate chap, it comes across in your video. Well done dude, it's been a joy to be here since the early days (hiding I the shadows mostly). Also, can I give a shout out to your aviation related numberplate. That was a fun addition to a rather grand celebration. Well deserved chief, well deserved indeed.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Congratulations John,
I joined your channel to watch the Secrets of the Motorway Series, as an ex Lorry Driver I've driven the length and breath of all the Motorways many times and the number of laps I've done of the M25 doesn't bear thinking about.
Well Done Mate 👏 👏👍
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Utterly well done John, as one of the early subscribers it's so incredible to see you reach this miletsone. Congrats and get yourself a pint 👍
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Congrats on 100,000! As a small creator myself who has also put a lot of effort into their channel without much reward, I feel your pain regarding the motorway services series. But our channel has just this week started to gain traction, albeit small fry in the grand scheme of things, but it's beginning to feel like all our efforts are finally starting to pay off! Cheers to the road to 1 million, hopefully we won't be too far behind.
It takes time but you're heading in the right direction !
Thank you for the time & effort you put into this channel! Take care & stay safe John.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
This milestone is so well deserved, I can’t bare to think how much work goes into behind the scenes such as researching, script planning, editing and much much much travelling of course!! Thank you for producing such unique and cool content it’s you and your personality that makes the channel the way it is! Keep up the amazing work because it’s clearly paying off slowly and surly! Thanks again my dude
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Congrats on the 100k Jon. Genuinely it’s quite an achievement. Most channels make about 7 episodes before the creators lose interest and at most gain a few hundred subs.
It was the M1 video for me and i played a bit of catch up before subbing at around 10k. Since that moment I’ve become a hgv steering wheel attendant and nowadays I hear your voice telling me shit I’d never have known as I drive past it 😂
Steering wheel attendant :D I like that. Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Congratulations John, well deserved, I joined the channel I think in the early section of the forgotten racetracks series and never left, now I never miss an episode 🎉🎉🎉
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Was I the only one who thought the plane was drawing a knob? 🎉 Congrats Mr Auto!
Nice one, thanks mate
Auto Shenanigans, purveyors of the finest road-related gibberish on youtube, and well worth the subscription fee!
Thanks John!
Nice one, Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on your milestone. It’s been an awesome journey to follow your channel. Can’t wait for the next 100,000 subscribers 🥰
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Congrats on 100k Jon, well deserved. It's clear how much effort and passion you've put into your videos which are contunually interesting and humourous. This was a lovely tribute video. Really enjoyed the aerial views, and especially that landing with the sunset behind!
Nice one, thanks for watching!
Sat watching this with a mate, a 6ft + retired cop who said at one point "aw bless him". Indeed and may the blessings continue. A unique channel from a bloke with a gen gift.
Nice one, thanks for watching!
11:19 brookmans park for me. Thanks John and congrats!!
📡💩
ghey. Thanks babe. only 10 days behind on comment replies....
Well deserved John, congratulations mate! Heres to 500k! 🎉
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Congratulations on this milestone, John. Here’s to the next 100k…
This week - I have mostly been watching... AUTO. SHENANIGANS.
I 'ave been mostly eating BOURBON BISCUITS
I also stumbled across your channel, I first thought there is NO way is he going to entertain us with videos about motorways, But, BOOM, now I'm totally hooked. Well done, heres to a million.
Cheers mate!
Big congrats on 100k John, super channel and very interesting for us road nerds! (Ps, there’s still a few motorways in Northern Ireland you could always visit!!!)
Congratulations, what an amazing story. As a fellow TH-camr I know how addictive and frustrating watching the subscribers number is. Well done on cracking the algorithm and long may the channel grow. Next stop, 1 million!
Congrats Jon, well deserved milestone! Wouldn't have happened if you hadn't lost that job and we all would never have known about any of your fab content. Awesome!! 😀
100k subscribers! 🍾Whoop whoop!! When you first stated you wanted to get to 100k I admired your ambition but doubted it would actually happen, but here we are! 🙂
Thanks, I think? :D
Absolutely well deserved mate, and beautifully executed. You've made me realise I found you during the abandoned roads series and stepped back through the service area series. Seems like years ago now! Congrats :D
Nice one, thanks for watching!
Well done John. This channel is excellent. I always tune in on Sunday afternoons and really enjoy the content.
Jumped on for the Service Stations, still watching every video! A well deserved 100,000.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
I usually watch auto shenanigans when the algorithm feeds me one, partly because I've been up and down the country, much of that on motorways, and partly because you're so much more successful at being quite amusing than most videos which attempt to be that. I'll keep my eye out for what you do next.
Nice one, thanks mate
Love this channel 💯 well done 🎉👍🏼
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Love this channel, congrats on 100K!
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Just many thanks Jon and Well Done 🎉

Superb channel! Answers the questions about things lots of us drive past everyday and think “I wonder what that is?” Keep up the good work John!
Cheers mate
Massive congratulations John. Very well deserved 🍾🥂😁. Here’s to the next 100,000 and beyond 👍🏼😉
Nice one, Thanks for watching!
Watched for ages man its great to see you hit 100k here's to 200k!!
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Congratulations a tv channel needs to pick you up as your a genius and a genuine person.
Well done John. Proud subscriber & viewer from the earlier days here. You personally replied to my comment last year & I was like "Oh my God - a celeb has replied to me!!" :-) Congrats
Nice one, thanks mate
Love your channel and videos! always will watch your videos
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Fantastic Jon! Congratulations to you and all of the team for reaching the magic 100k and continuing to deliver us with such such regular delights 👍🏻
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
This was just brilliant. Loved taking this journey with you. Love your joy at this milestone - celebrating with you. Much deserved. Thank you for your work and passion, delivered in your own brilliant style.
(Watch out for dem low-flying doors)
Nice one, thanks for watching!
Deciding to confuse plane spotters for your 100000 subscriber celebration is absolutely perfect and the greatest subscriber milestone celebration ever done on TH-cam.
Nice one, thanks for watching!
Congrats Jon and all those involved. The 100K is well deserved.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Congratulations John. A great achievement. I joined around the secrets of the motorway time and have enjoyed them with my lunch every other day. Funny, interesting and relaxing. Good work!
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Glad to be part of it... interesting subjet well presented..... Keep it up... :) Davey P .. UK
Nice one, Thanks for watching!
So glad no-one unsubscribed at the wrong moment, John 😆
I was worried about that.
Love your work, keep the content coming. You can be very proud of this.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
Bloody Amazing idea! I didn’t realise I subbed at such a small number, 100,000 is a huge achievement 😮 many congratulations Jon! 🎉
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
That hat at the opening should have been a standard red and white traffic cone in keeping with the theme of your brilliant channel.
For whatever reason, the algorithm kicked up that first video for me to watch less than an hour after you uploaded. Congratulations!
Nice one, Thanks for watching!
Wait! The winds were too high for all the pilots there except for one kid in a rusty old plane. And you went up with him?!?! You're brave! But if you ever get invited to go to the bottom of the ocean in a itty-bitty submarine to see the Titanic, please decline the offer!
Erm.. yep pretty much!
Congratulations, mate! I ain't gonna lie though - as impressive as a 4 mile high "100000" is, I was really hoping for a giant cock & balls on flight radar. That's the sort of level I'm at & why I love Auto Shenanigans. 🍻👍
I also thought he was going to do that 😅
@@citizenlostthat makes three of us then 😬
Everyone was expecting that
Well done Jon. Aussie subscriber here. I found your channel this time last year. My wife and I spent July in London and upon our return home, I began searching for information about the underground. I found Jago Hazard’s channel. The algorithms decided that your channel might be of interest as well. They were right too, because I have been an avid follower of your channel ever since.
PS- I loved the bit at the end when you filmed the moment it clocked up 100,000. The genuine surprise and the giggles showed just how much it really meant to you. Once again. Congratulations Jon.
Nice one, Thanks for watching!
Well done, BBC eat your heart out! What are you going to do for 500,000 or the 1,000,000???
Thanks for the laughs, Jon. Next stop, 1 million....
Thanks a lot mate, really appreciate that
Many congratulations on your well deserved success John. Love you long time!
Nice one, thanks mate
Brilliant!
Cheers mate!
Great video.🏴🏴
Thanks a lot mate!
Congratulations 🎊 thanks for all the interesting content may you continue to grow
