And just like that ... I want a Transit 🤷🏻♂️
you want me to sit _where?_ 👁👄👁
We used to own a Amber Yellow 1980 Ford transit. Used to go on long camping journeys in it back in 2007
I just me or James look skinnier???
And just like that donut has told us to use a transit to rob banks😂🤣😂
@@JohnDoe-555 looking healthy. Think it has allot to do with heart attack
Imagine driving a multi-million hyper car designed to reach incredible high speeds with comfort and just getting passed by an old shitbox van with the aerodynamics of a brick

RIP Sabine Schmitz, Queen of the Nurburgring. We’ll never forget the 10min lap in a Transit van.
She died? How?
@@MrJimheeren Cancer, unfortunately.
she's missed yeah
You know its awkward when some people in cars can't do that then she comes along in a van and does that time tho I guess knowledge and experience is one of the best and you can do it in something fairly not an obvious choice I hated how confident she was thought she was cocky at the time I'll be honest but now ive got huge respect for sabine and she was good at the nurburgring I know that atleast my knowledge on racing limited
Never seen it got a link would like 2 watch
As Richard Hammond said: "As anyone whose driven beside a Transit van on the freeway will tell you, the top speed of those is... faster than whatever you're in"
@ALSO-RAN ! Oh yea baby say those sweet fucking words to me

That’s James’ superpower lol
they always are
Watching this on the day Sabine Schmitz passed away
What a legend
RIP
For real shes a bonafide legend
9:11 "SIXTY percent" with a slick slide transition to hide the dubbing. Priceless
Neon Ghoul 9:11, 911 turbo. Coincidence? I think not. Also why is it that America’s service for protecting you is called with the numbers 911 which are the numbers in 9/11. Also this was before the twin towers thing but the Porsche 911’s also contain the numbers in 9/11. Also why are all the best things with numbers in them have to have the numbers 9, 1, and 1.
Lol he originally said Eighty percent
Wow I didn't even notice
James in March: “What if I told you that my next car was going to be a Ford van?”
*buys AE86 3 months later*
Wait really?
Gavin Houtsma yep. Money Pit did a video on it and Pumphrey posts it often on his instagram.
IT'S THE CAR FROM THE CARTOOOOOOOON!!
The only thing better than a Ford Transit Van
I felt James when he said “watch sweat fall from his dads fat neck” it reminded me of the 7hour trips from south Louisiana to Texas in the back of a truck with my 6 siblings the the 80s..... back when god loved us
Nola0187 H i understand it because my family basically never had a vehicle with working a/c

Fitment Industries: "So you want to buy a ford transit"
I was literally thinking that 😒
@@Mr.Ramirez95 whats wrong with that???
I know right. Also ideal media. Cmon guys be original like donut
learned to drive in a V10 Econoline 14 passenger version (there were 10 of us growing up), when it was empty, that thing was a frikkin space-shuttle when it took off. My sister dated a guy who worked in a body shop and we were THIS close to talking my dad into putting flames on it... this close.
Lasted my parents almost 400k mi. Miss it.*tear*
THAT INTRO!! Why did I wait to watch this one
80% of all bank robberies in the UK during the 60s involved a ford transit at some point lol
This is, honestly, my favorite episode of Up To Speed. I never knew about the Supervan, that’s crazy! Plus the whole, “Look at them, there’re so majestic!” Just killed me.
I would buy like 6 “Mo Cargo Babeh” shirts.

I will take 7.
No. Car go road, car go vroom. Car no go babeh

Toyota HiAce: That's cute
Qais Mousa another butthurt jdm comment
Hell yeah! My 1 year as an Amazon driver had me redlining and drifting on these tall vans and that 6 speed auto manual transmission gives you everything you need to swing these things and you don't have to worry about tipping over
RIP Sabine Schmitz, queen of the Nurburgring. Your life was cut way too short, but your legend will never die.
Wtf when this he loose so much weight, I remember him being thicc a while back when he made the Dodge Demon video.
Congrats!
Legion heart attacks will make you get your shit together.
came looking for this exact comment. Props to him.
Yeah he looks pretty damn healthy
"To haul their ugly, dirty little kids in" love it!
“Oh wow, look at them, they are majestic” - I love it
"...and you're the getaway driver!!"
*Proceeds to get on the back of the van*
When did James start looking so skinny?! Glad he’s staying healthy!
Prob part of the dietary change after the heart attack.
@@ML-fc3je he had a heart attack geezus!!
I was gonna joke and say he looks homeless
NOS ENERGY DRINK !!
@@krakdaus5442 yeah some say its the nos some says its a family thing. Either way its good to see he is better now.
You know you're moving up in the world when you get sponsored by Ford themselves!
I’ve had 7 transits in my time, my last was a 145 2015 pick up, although very good fun I had to do a cheat to turn the traction control off, setting off from a fuel station was brilliant, me spending 5 mins stamping on different pedals and turning on and off the ignition 6 or 7 times 🤣🤣🤣. Un like my 2003 135 medium high top, every corner was terrifying as it had no traction control. Roundabouts were a right laugh 😂
Can't you just pull the fuses on the driver assists?
@@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski 🤦♂️🤦♂️👏
8:42 wait..... So this whole time James was actually the same person as the audience member?! 🤯
No, he was the van.......
Let’s ignore that
Absolutely true, Dude.

@ALSO-RAN ! Ah ffs how did i miss it. Im such an idiot
Genuinely laughed out so loud when the magestic horses came in. X
When I was a teenager in the late 90s my parents had a Triton v10 van. That thing would scoot!. I can vividly remember one nice burnout I did with it. Pretty impressive.
When i was in High School i worked for a catering business that had a V10 triton...that sucker could move!
Supervan 4 should have a viper v10 just because of the Triton v10
My dad had a Triton v10 F250 it was a beast I used to drive it all the time. If he only knew how I drove that truck 😂.
R.I.P. Sabine Schmitz. Goddess of the Nürburgring 😢.

“Oh wow look at em, they’re majestic!”

damn, James taking that getting healthy lifestyle to heart. Good to see it, want to see you around for a lot more years doing this stuff. love the podcast too.
Cory Ostrom was looking for this comment bcs it took me by surprise! Hes lookin good 4sure!
I've had more than 10 cars in the past 2 years. From new malibus, to Honda odssey. Never the same model twice. Right now I have a 2006 Chrysler Town and country, and a 1995 ford ecoline 150 conversion. The ford econoline not only runs smoother, but it is quieter, more comfortable and far more powerfu, than ANY other car I've had. It's amazing. Custom interior and all. It's truly amazing.
THIS IS ONE OF MY MOST IF NOT MY MOST FAV EPISODE. I DRIVE A TRANSIT AND LEGIT THOUGHT OF THIS WAY BEFORE. LOVE THIS!
I laughed the third time the horse thing came up 😂
"So majestic!"
We had Econoline travel vans my entire upbringing, can confirm they were legendary! We drove clear across Canada & the U.S. a few times over (summer road trips) and only ever had one breakdown - An accelerator cable. That was on the second van that nearly logged a cool mil km's.
“Do you wanna know what I got? I got watching the sweat fall down my dad’s neck” so relatable
Hmmmm
FAT NECK
that and you had to remember to bring enough battery's for your knock off Walkman
Me: reading an article on vw vans
1 minute later: **Donutmedia uploads a video about vans**

I shit you not, I've been saving up for a van for 3 years, and I finally got one yesterday! It's a 1996 Ford E250 extended cab with the Ford 300 Inline 6 hahaha. It's got a bed, a solar shower, and solar panels with a battery setup. 120k miles. I'm so happy.
Up to speed on:
-Chevy c10 & gmc 454(arabian c10)
-f150 lightning and Ram srt10
-Toyota hilux
Every truck sport including monster trucks
As well as vans like the VW bus, Dodge Ram Wagon, Toyota Hiace, etc.
5:04 Lol You gotta love James!
What's crazier is that when you check out Transits in Europe, they come in FWD, RWD, and AWD options. I think Ford is the only brand offering that. Also, there are four (4!) different Transits available in the UK: Transit Courier, Transit Connect, Transit Custom, and Transit Van. It's like... you can get them in any size for any job you want. It's madness!
2:28 NEW SHIRT BABY
I learned how to drive in a 1998 E350 conversion van with a 6.8 liter V10 gasoline engine. It was also the only drivable vehicle my family had during hard economical times at the start of the last decade, and has never required any serious repairs. It's a gas guzzler, but we couldn't afford to do anything but just drive what we had. So yeah, can say with absolute certainty that Ford vans are great, dependable and made to last forever.
James you look skinny dude, great job. Glad you're keeping healthy #hotvanmaterial
no one:
james: lighting, buff horse, mo powa
me: LIGHTING, BUFF HORSE, MO POWA
That Tshirt add is the best one you've ever done. BRING IT BACK!
Lightning! Buffhorses! Arh... Look at them, they're majestic!
It had me dying😂😂
Thats actually one of the best intros I've seen from donut. But then again their all awesome.
The way he said “Mom n Pop, mom n pop business” is hilarious 😂😂😂
“Oh wow look at them they’re majestic” 😂😂
This is the best episode! Is there anything a van can’t make better?
13 minutes video, 40 seconds after upload: "it was nice"
"If this van's a rockin' don't come a knockin'!"
Eeh err.
Michael Kelso: "If this van's a rockin', we're in ther doing it."
I paid $300 in 2009 for a 1987 ford aerostar. It was a manual transmission with a slipping clutch and bald tires, it ran for 9 months and the only thing that put it out of commission was the fuel pump took a crap. But in the rain with those bald tires and having the interior stripped and all the weight was on the front axle it allowed it to break the rear tires loose suuperr easily. I used to drift it like a literal drift king, and it was honestly one of the BEST and most FUN vehicle i had ever owned (out of 17 total). Whenever it rained i would always jump in the van and find my favorite slipperry roads and just go drifting since it was my cheap daily/toy car. All i had to do to drift it was literally gas her and turn and she would break loose, then i would just hold and feather the throttle so i didnt have to use the weak clutch. My favorite thing to do was pulling BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT epic drifts and get her as sideways as i could and look at peoples reactions when i slide by. It was strictly a slick rain drifter though, but it was awesome because you could do such epic slides at really low speeds. My 3 favorite cars where i had the most fun in were actually the cheapest, and i paid a whopping 2300 for all 3 lol. I had a 90? sentra that only had lowering springs but i would "track it" right across the street from me. It was a new subdivision but all that was there was the curvy roads because they didn't even build one house yet. So id take it there and time myself on how fast i could run a lap, and at one part there was a downhill curve before a culdesac so i would come in fast then rip the ebrake and partially drift her, before i would sneak it into first and launch it back up the hill. If you had ever driven the car you would be EXTREMELY impressed, because if you pushed the clutch to the floor the pedal would stick to the bottom, so you had to push it just enough to disengage but not too far or it would stick. It had a really long geared 4 spd manual so for one section i had to rev match her and actually go down to 1st gear but she downshifted really well. Not to brag but also being 100% honest i had that car and that track dialed in. It was a slow car but it handled pretty well and it was all turns anyways. But everyone i ever took for "a lap" had their mind blown with my heel-toe braking/shifting, all the rev matches and downshifting, and how i could get a FWD car to oversteer and drift the corners so perfectly. To this day im sure that the neighborhood has completely black corners/tracks from all the laps and tires i went through. I "crashed" it a few times though, i hit one curb at a 65* angle doing about 45mph and my tire exploded, but i never actually damaged anything else on the car. Sometimes the throttle cable would stick at WOT and coincidentally it needed to be started with a screwdriver and i could find the screwdriver so i had to put it in 4th gear and slam on the brakes until i snubbed it out. Luckily she had like 80hp-ish only and the clutch/brakes were good. Eventually the headgasket went on it right after i sold it to a friend, but he wasnt a car guy and was known for always flooring his cars EVERYWHERE and bringing it up to red line every shift. He also blew up a b20 turbo civic he bought that way, and he did it to another car as well. Sorry for the novel this just brought back so many memories
Man, I loved this episode! I literally cried when the Supervans were presented, like "WTF!? That's amazing!!"
The wife and I bought a Medium roof Transit . . . Best purchase EVER! My family grew up with the Econoline as well. I honest love the Transit more!
James youre looking skinny af dude!
congrats for staying healthy! been following up to speed since the 1st video!
The van in the thumbnail i had as a Matchbox. My favorite car for sure.
GrandpaLovesAnal. Ford Transit vans were popular in Jamaica .They used to put 2000 G.X.L overhead cam & 3000 Capri engines in them with side exhaust They were bad ass as hell .Some had the Zephry Zodiac engine also.
No matter who makes the bandage we inevitably call it a Band-Aid. In all seriousness I am an Econoline 150 owner whose E-150 has a wheelchair conversion. The one I currently own is my fourth E-150 (wheelchair conversation) since 1985. My current 2002 was purchased for $25.000 second hand with, the wheelchair conversion. This current E-150 is a Tuscany conversion. With its 8 cylinder Triton engine it has plenty of get up, and go. It's also extremely reliable. I purchased it with 22000 miles on the odometer, it now has 120,000. The E-150 Series has served me excellently since 1985. They're (the E-150) an excellent choice, whether used for the family or as a work "truck" (E-250 - E-350 for heavy loads.) Reliable Beyond reliable! No major breakdowns throughout my 35 years of E- 150 ownership. Change your oil every three to five thousand miles, and you should be good to go for many many years. My current 02 runs and shifts as it did the day I purchased it (with 22.000 on the odometer.) I looked at a new transit XLT, (in 2015) and decided that the brand new price tag of $38.000 was a bit much. Add the driver wheelchair equipment, and the price tag jumped to 79.000+. I decided to keep my 02 120.000 mile E-150 Tuscany until (knock on wood) it develops an issue that makes it financially not worth repairing. All the Econoline 150's I have owned were sold without any major problems to other wheelchair users. A very happy E-150 owner.
“Oh wow look at them they’re majestic”
Yes that was said in the video
Shit was that intro high production,it’s amazing matey
"Oh wow, they're majestic!" cracks me up every time. 😂
8:44 when the audience member becomes the HOST 👁⭕️👁
1:32 is the bridge outside my bedroom window
I thought everyone knew they had v10 option. They also had the powerstroke thru 2010
The power stroke versions were pretty dope
2001 got the last 7.3, you do not want one with the 6.0, that pos lost Ford the ambulance contract they had for 30 years.
When the intro's actually worth more than the part where James talks about the transit van
Ive driven many vans in my life time, the ford transit is by far the best van. It looks the best, the steering is so light and perfect to drive all day. The reliability is ridiculous, you can have the rustiest beat up transit and they never die, if I had the money I would use it as a daily rather than for work. The ford transit is the best van ever to be made
Thank you for gettin me through this quarantine!!
8:39 OMG I cracked 😂
I really didn't know exactly how you guys did that 🤣
Vans are underrated. You could actually use a van for most tasks people use trucks for nowadays.
8:42 left me crying 😂😂
Don’t forget the hover-van. Amphibious and majestic with a combined 1200 HSRPRS. Made its de-butt in 2017.
3:40 "best of all it was very a-ford-able"
..this vid is like " lightning! buff horses! Watch it! It's so majestic!".
I would love to see Donut do an up to speed on Top Gear and The Grand Tour.
I remember having my mind blown at around 8 years old when I was at the drag strip with my dad and uncle. My uncle had a drag car and my dad was crew chief, and I was the gopher. Need a distributor? I got it. Gas? No problem. Axel? Easy. New tire? I’m gonna need some help... I was 8 and drag slicks are fucking massive, give me a break! Anyways, so we’re at the strip for some big race event and I’m going around through the pits checking out cars when I pass a ford van that I thought was a tow vehicle, but there was no drag car around it, but the sliding door was open, and something inside was very shiny. I go look and there’s a giant 500+ ci engine sitting right there in the middle through the sliding door with a giant blower and nitrous lines running all over the place! It was magnificent! I had never seen something like that before! I’ve seen a couple other similar van setups like that in the many years since then but that one blew my mind at what was possible with vehicles if you have the time, money, and dedication. I love it.
I swear James makes you like almost any car! Now I like vans and trans
When you tell your parents you want a van
Your parents: 8:44
DominicanSteel underrated comment😂
Love that intro😂
A 2007 Ford transit is well capable to be one of the fastest vehicles on the road
SO YOUR IN LONDON AINGLAND (the way he said England hurt my soul)
Sabine racing the ring in a transit is stuff of legend
As someone who drives a Ford Transit 250 for a living, I love it! Super comfortable!
2019: Dodge
2020: Ford
@2:40 "Ford Thames" -> Pronounced 'Tems' like the river.
The van mindset of the 70’s is back and alive as ever now!
Super cars: “I am speed”
Ford vans: “oh you’re speed. I am triple speed. Transit is a super speed”
Best intro ever!!!
I rented one for a U.S. road trip. The final 20 miles back home was through Provo canyon (Utah). I had a girl waiting for me, and parents weren’t home (pfft of course not, she’s a college student). I....never knew a van could candle that well, at those high of speeds... honestly just really impressed my whole group didn’t die with my driving that van faster than the BMW that was trying to race me (E46 328i).
Hey James, man make a video about Toyota Hiace!
Do you know about HiAce FLEX?
The world's most unsafe van. Not even sold in the US and EU since the 90s ..... sure
my mom still has her 2008 ford econoline van and i hate riding in that thing but alot of good memories in that thing.
Everything you need to know: the olds/hurst 442 The secret supercar of Oldsmobile. James please do some classic muscle again.

I'd love to see them do anything olds related seriously they have nothing.
1:26 You're talking about the vw caddy right now actually.
Donut media always have something new.. thanks Donut
When did “moar power” man come back? How did I miss his return
Ah, another clue: James' dad used to take him on road trips. And had a sweaty fat neck.
I love how high effort this video is, def deserves more love
