The vibes of your videos are just impeccable. So easy to listen to , no over the top bullshit or shouting. Just two cool dudes talking about a fun car.
As the crew are experienced normal guys it allows them to have a perfect channel it has personality and attuite there almost like a smooth fall flavored Burbon with notes of spice.
It feels like I'm hanging out. I haven't really noticed how other automotive videos sound like cocomelon nowadays. These videos feel like a breath of fresh air.
I admit. I certainly thought Jimmy was a side character that was shoved into a host position that knew nothing about cars. Now, I appreciate knowing he had and has some of the coolest cars and has a garage I wish I had right now. Nice to know you, Jimmy. Great video.
These guys are cool, but Sandro is still a major draw for Donut. The main character, imo. They need to get him to jump ship and join them- that would be fire.
First time I saw Jimmy hosting I assumed his dad had bought donut and was letting him mess about in front of the camera! Had no idea he’d been behind the scenes for 7 years.
If you actually paid attention he has been around, in and out of things, very big behind the scenes, and has always been loved. By the crew and fans. He is the head of donut underground and donuts social media.
The difference between Jimmy talking about something he's told to talk about, and talking about something he's passionate about is night and day. Great vid!
My thoughts exactly. When he hosted the Jeep Wrangler episode with Justin, I totally wrote him off. Thats about when Donut jumped the shark for me. But, Im glad to see I was wrong about him.
Its really cool that despite the current 'drama' people are assuming is happening within the Donut Media sphere, good friends are still there. Additionally, highlighting and lifting up Jimmy during a transitionary time where growing pains are being shouted over on the internet, was really sweet. Getting to know Jimmy more from the perspective of a friend, rather than a brand was a welcome surprise I wasn't expecting when he showed up. Extremely classy and still informative video, with hints of old Bumper 2 Bumper goodness. Can't express how great BigTime is shaping up to be.
@@UberLummox no it was created by other content creators who made videos about muh "investors ruined everything" etc. Which is funny since donut was started by literal investors, not people in their garage.
After this video, Jimmy will NOT be seen as a side character. You guys did a phenomenal job having him express himself the way he is. Love this kind of content you guys are great! Keep it up
That's straight facts. Was though seeing him join in from the nowhere. Now we know how authentic and cool guy he is. Keep the videos coming fam here for the 100% support.
YOOOOO. I'm so glad this happened cuz it's kinda a slap in the face to all the Jimmy haters on Donut channel. They go realll friken deep into nothing against this guy, all cuz of this preconceived notion they have of him... Such low IQ childish behavior. Lol
The phrase made me happier about owning my own piece of machinery. A car most would dig on but of my nearing 20 cars over time this one hits me right in the comfort with handling thrills zone I love.
Its incredibly rare to find a video about this car that cointains information that hadnt been gone over in countless other videos. You guys managed just that.
These are the episodes I watched that got me into Donut, I’ve been missing them and wasn’t watching much recently until the Bigtime split. Glad to have them back.
Agreed. I'd love to see Jimmy (and Justin and Nolan) coming in here with (more) cameos. No clue what their contracts are like with Donut but I'd hope that once they're done, some of the Donut all-stars could be poached to be with BigTime permanently. It's definitely the content and personalities we want - it took Donut 9+ years to grow to 8.8 million subs. It took BigTime less than 4 weeks to get to 1.33 million after their first video.
You'll have more money in your pocket not owning all those cars at such a young age. If I had invested my money instead of pissing it away on car and motorcycle stuff. I would have a seriously healthy savings account lol.
well he started at 20 years old and as an intern then got a job as a producer. Not very hard to afford one nice car when you have no outside responsibilities or kids.
Few take aways from this video: 1. It was authentic cause my friend driving my car fast makes me paranoid ASF also lol 2. In 7 yrs of Jimmy on Donut we knew nothing about him and learned so much in 23 mins (mind blowing) 3. He really does look 19 , an is almost 30 .... impressive 😂 4. This was a great informative video I never seen a Silva b4 this video!! Great content keep it going #BigTime
I thought he was an intern from high school. I mean, look at his baby face! 😂 Also, didn't expect his origin is from Australia. Trully, Up 2 Speed we deserve
@adrianpragiwaksana4245 I agree , he's a host on Donut but we don't know anything about him lol I respect that they gave his back story. An him being from Australia was definitely a head turner lol
I'm so happy Big Time endorsed him like this, he was getting an unfair amount of heat for being associated with a situation beyond his control. Good to see positive vibes from both sides and appreciation for real enthusiasm.
@dhillaz he played his part right on this video. Sometimes, it's best to stay silent on things that don't need to be said. But however give the people an opportunity to get to know who you are as a person. The car community just want shyt to get back to cars we got enough drama in our own personal lives 🤷🏾♂️😂😂
This made me appreciate jimmy a lot more as a person. The way he presents himself/how he is edited on donut is very different but I am happy to see this side of him. It makes me appreciate him more as a creative mind and as a car guy. Honestly I think this video will quiet down the “donut is dead” people
Literally didn't know Jimmy was a JDM guy until this video. They play him as like a side character on Donut to the point where it just feels awkward or forced when he's on screen.
He has literally been on real mechanic stuff multiple times with the "creator" of the Miata and on the podcasts talking about it. They go to him for basically any jdm info on donut. I'm pretty sure it has been a focus of an episode lately. @@kimaniharris7922
This was such a great video and really highlights the biggest difference at Donut. These are car videos for car people. No crazy budgets, no yelling, and destroying stuff just 2 chill buds hanging out and talking cars. Also huge props to Jobey and Jer for giving some spotlight to Jimmy. Whether it was well planned ahead of time, they still want their friend to succeed in his new role. So giving him the spotlight and a chance to learn about Jimmy, something Donut never seemed to do, is a classy move. Wish both Big time and their buds huge success wherever their careers go.
Man after Jeremiah talking about how long he was writing and not a host when he wanted to be, that excited reaction for Jimmy when he entered the car and called him a host is just perfect.
@@JollyGiant19 I think you should look up what the word means. By that logic almost all cars are obscure then. Most of my friends that aren't into cars don't know what a Toyota Supra is. Is the Supra an obscure car then? No. Now Nissan S-Cargo? That is an example of an obscure Nissan.
@@JollyGiant19 Not even close dawg. It's literally one of the most well known models, from one of the most prolific car manufacturers in the world. Just because it's not in the latest fast and the furious doesn't mean the thing is obscure. Hundreds of thousands of these wouldn't have been slammed into guardrails if they were actually obscure.
I miss the car history lessons old Donut used to make. I'm glad you're doing them again. It'd be neat if you could do some of the more obscure models too like you did for this Silvia. I'd love your humorous takes on some oddities like the Toyota "Humvee" or the egg-shaped Previa, even if others have covered it in a more straightforward fashion.
You guys are rad as shit, dude. You're giving Jimmy more storyline and personality than Donut has done in the past year...and it's not even your fuckin' channel or employee. Keep being rad people dude, the internet and especially the world needs more folks willing to prop each other up. Edit: Holy fuck he's been there for 7 years what in the absolute fuck.
This is legitimately the most comfortable Jimmy has seemed not only behind the camera but also behind the wheel. Glad to see him passionate and thoroughly enjoying the content he's making.
This video had a feel to it. "Don't abandon my friend's channel. He's actually really knowledgeable." Almost as if Jerry and Jobe were telling us to still support Donut because Jimmy is our really good friend. I did learn more about the S13 than I'd ever known, and it was still entertaining, to say the least. Once again, great job, fellas!!
I really hate to dog on Donut but from what it's become it's very obvious to see the amount of passion in these videos lives up to pre-corprate donut. I wanna say thank you guys and to all of those at donut who have stuck around in the youtube platform for so long. you guys really have sparked a larger community of people that enjoy cars. during covid I started watching you guys and everything you guys have done I'm starting to research my own build now soon hopefully! Keep it up and absolute best wishes for your new channel 🙏🙏🙏
@@angelocrinitithat looks like a Tanomi plush toy and those can be super rare or expensive. you would have scour the japanese auction sites or a proxy seller for one
A missed opportunity by Donut, for sure. Wonder if Jimmy will eventually come over to this channel full time. I think he'd be a perfect fit - and they'd certainly treat him better!
That car is so special! My 4th and 5th cars were American 240sx, one hatch, one coupe. I used to canyon drive, drift sometimes but my upgrades on handling were most directed on control. Super fast and, and quick when needed. I never sr20 swapped, fully built ka24. I have no videos or pics but that car was a monster. Never lost.. time trials in my canyon were unbelievable. I miss it very much. The cops had to take it away, now I have nothing. Did all the work with my friend in my driveway, or garage if there was room.. I love this car! S13 to death!
Honestly, this was a really fun way to highlight Jimmy. I've liked his recent Donut videos, but this was an awesome way to get to know him better as a person and learn about a cool car.
Jerry winding up Jimmy is proof of a great friendship. This video is excellent. Great to see Jimmy open up more about his cars. I didn't realise how big a car he was! Thanks for this guys, it was awesome!
Ive had my RPS13 180SX for 24yrs, it has a CA18DET engine and still running strong. When I was a kid my neighbor had a Silve Q in that same 2 tone green. When I got mine it was 3k AUD from Japan in January 2000.
Love the vibes and banter on this video. Great to see Jimmy in his element and talking about things he's passionate about, JDM cars from Initial D. This is the kind of magic that's gone missing from a lot of big car channels. Keep up the amazing work Jerr and Jobe! I'm looking forward to more content like this!
Or let em get bought out for a huge payday, then they start over with a new channel called "CarStuff" or something and get all their viewers over to that channel in an afternoon. 😄
This video is just proof that character arcs, character development, and origin stories make it easier to like people, take more interest in them, and endear yourself to them. Well done BigTime!
What you guys are doing is genius by setting expectations on initial episodes! Ep. 1 setting background on car hearts, Ep.2 creativity/Fun, Ep. 3 hosting skills. New fan here!
I don’t wanna compare views . I loved donut for years. But both videos were released 12 hours ago 540k compared to 150k. The fanbase is loyal to these two fellas ! I definitely enjoy this channel. No crazy budget , just good times.
It's new channel about cars by people who left bigger company, what did you expect? Especially with all the drama flying around. I would be surprised if it didn't have this many views.
Cool to see Jimmy step up and out into the light lately. Even cooler to see him to tell Jer to calm his shit while driving ,and eating in, Jimmy's car. Donut showed us a kid. Now we see the man.
I think Jimmy had the coolest anime girl car I've ever seen. Not that that's a high bar, but it's proof that one might have made it into cool territory at one point
I've enjoyed Jimmy's presence before on Donut, but seeing him here like this is makes me respect him even more. We need more of Jimmy in our lives. Also, Iowa on your Mustang? Good taste, Jimmy.
21:30.. Funny you say that. I was a kid back in the day and the S13 1-via was actually my first car and I learned how to drive on it!. Subsequently learned how to drive things sideways as well..😂
This is the type of “reality” TV that should be on TV. This is what I miss about 00’s TopGear: A couple of friends hanging out, discussing cars, and engaging in various shenanigans. No politics, educational, and fun to watch.
Props to the entire team. Videographer, editors, writers, anyone else I don’t know - they have a cohesive style that makes big time feel like big time.
I just want an hour long fly on the wall kinda video of Jer, Jobe, James and Jimmy workin in Jobe's garage, hanging out. Buying car parts, taking the big rig out. Favorite channel. ❤
In high school I had a '93 240SX, so these cars will always hold a special place in my heart. The foam spoiler was almost hilarious, and the under powered brakes much less hilarious. But man the engine, weight and handling was awesome. Great high schooler car. The kids w/ the SUVs missed out.
Great video format. Very enjoyable to watch and easy on the ears. Love that it is quite informative between a cool and casual conversation between 2 down to earth dudes. Keep it up!!
I’m currently taking calculus three and you have no idea how incredibly happy it makes me to hear Jeremiah talking about orthogonal parametrics in real life applications
Garage tinkering? Check Whacky hijinks? Check And now comprehensive automotive history? In all seriousness, the tone and vibe of all your videos is phenomenal. It's oozing heart, soul and passion. Absolutely love it!
This is a great channel. Very Genuine. I liked that you kept the lighting of the drive natural. I felt like I was driving with a friend after work, being a car nerd. It was fun.
I just want to say it’s evident in even these first videos that you have taken all you’ve learned from your time at Donut and are marrying it with your guys’ passions. These videos feel so genuine and I’m excited for what’s to come. Keep up the good work, you guys are already killin it
God I just love everything about these videos. So happy to have a Jimmy feature and learn a little more about him. The editing and filming of this video is so pleasing.
People who think there is hate between donut and this channel are looking for drama. Get over it theyre both still good channels. This channel makes me happy af and glad to see the boys are having a huge following.
damn guys, BigTime is here and it's the car channel that we wanted, asked and needed. Just two guys that are great friends and that like cars just as we like, talking about them being passionate and without extreme shouting/screaming/drama. Jesus, ily guys.
Am I missing some channels? Because I've never seen shouting/screaming/drama on any I'm subbed to but this ain't even the first mention I've seen in the comments of this video
@@cenciende9401 i'm talking about how donut videos came to be after some years. Idk what the other folks are commenting about, but my comment was comparing BigTime videos to Donut videos
I remember a time when in Top Gear they used to trash these types of cars in dumb fun challenges, now they're a treasure to be found, oh how times haves changed.
we never really got to meet jimmy so i think thats where a lot of apprehension came towards him when he became a host. This is the exact video that donut should’ve made for him and the video that he deserves. very well edited i love what you guys are building here
Watching yall take the silvia out for a drive gave me the biggest grin. Took me back to when I lived in tokyo with my fairlady z. Keep up the great work guys!
As a Japanese-American who loves JDM cars, lives in West LA, and drives up and down PCH regularly, watching you guys cruise around in a mint Silvia up past Malibu toward Point Mugu and down to Manhattan Beach was a real treat. Thanks, and please continue making awesome vids like these.
In my day, the Opel Manta was the Euro version of the S13 for the 1980's. Very light at 2100 pounds and between 90-76HP. With a light engine build, headers and a Weber 120HP was available. It was a car with very neutral handling, that was just fun, fun to drive. I'd say the Euro 10 year old version of the S13 from the early 2000's. Cheap, fun and unique.
crazy i learned more about Jimmy in this one video with yall than i have in the 7 years hes been with donut, no shade at donut i just like seeing the personal side of yall, it makes the videos feel so much better, nice to finally get to meet him some what
I know the feeling. Jimmy's car is in great condition and you can tell he takes care of it and drives it in a manner so it last long. I have an 89 240sx in decent condition and even I don't push the RPMs due to the age of the engine.
Jer is driving way too hard for those ancient tires and most definitely dry rotted bushings. Old tires like that are fine until you go full Paul Walker
I have new found respect for all of you people, doing things you dreamt of and actually committing to it. I still fidget to this date about me wanting a s15 spec aero till this date and I am older than Jimmy. Keep at it people. I am getting that inspiration I always wanted
Man it's honestly just refreshing seeing one of these iconic cars not being tuned, engine swapped and stanced to all hell. Not that I have anything against those, I just prefer the charm of bone-stock cars.
"Nissan's most important car"
>It's an episode about Jimmy.
Well played guys, giving Jimmy the respect that he deserves.
jimmy was big vibes tho
They just revealed the real Jimmy
One can say, we were lied to
BIG TIME
Not kidding. Has Jimmy ever done a burnout?
Jimmy sucks and is the reason I stopped watching Donut
The vibes of your videos are just impeccable. So easy to listen to , no over the top bullshit or shouting. Just two cool dudes talking about a fun car.
As the crew are experienced normal guys it allows them to have a perfect channel it has personality and attuite there almost like a smooth fall flavored Burbon with notes of spice.

I didn’t want to see Beans from even Steven’s either. But still a good video
@@thomasolson8417 hes great you guys are trippin
He’s probably cool as F#ck. Not a camera face though.
@@DatBoiGloomygreat no a good host yes u don’t get the hate but he’s definitely not my #1 host
This video had a feel to it. "Don't abandon my friend's channel. He's actually really knowledgeable." Almost as if Jerry and Jobe were telling us to still support Donut because Jimmy is our really good friend. I did learn more about the S13 than I'd ever known, and it was still entertaining, to say the least. Once again, great job, fellas!!
Agreed I learned a lot from this video, I hope we can all appreciate it this way and continue to support both channels
@MrLayton1990 me too. I've noticed a dip in Donut quality and frequency. I miss the random shows a lot. Tool party was one of them.
Hahaha, take a look at Donut's views, nobody is abandoning anything!
I really hate to dog on Donut but from what it's become it's very obvious to see the amount of passion in these videos lives up to pre-corprate donut. I wanna say thank you guys and to all of those at donut who have stuck around in the youtube platform for so long. you guys really have sparked a larger community of people that enjoy cars. during covid I started watching you guys and everything you guys have done I'm starting to research my own build now soon hopefully! Keep it up and absolute best wishes for your new channel 🙏🙏🙏
I'll gladly dog on Donut. Donut media (the company, not the people) is a sellout.
The fact that Jimmy has a stuffed silvia on the backseat is adorable.
Him grabbing it was the most underrated part of the video
the "let me get my friend," and him pulling out a sea green emotional support silvia, sent me
@@JunoScream Emotional support Sylvia... ha! That's great man. :)
Does anyone know if that pillow is still being sold anywhere? I need a seafoam green Silvia emotional support pillow too!
@@angelocrinitithat looks like a Tanomi plush toy and those can be super rare or expensive. you would have scour the japanese auction sites or a proxy seller for one
Why would Donut not introduce Jimmy to us like this? Jimmy is a cool guy, Donut made him a clown. Loving the content so far guys!
Fr
A missed opportunity by Donut, for sure. Wonder if Jimmy will eventually come over to this channel full time. I think he'd be a perfect fit - and they'd certainly treat him better!
Very true, Donut is slacking!!
"I'm not a race car driver like yourself" holy shit. Primus called it. Jerry truly Was A Race Car Driver.
Hopefully he doesnt wrap himself around a telephone pole
Drove so goddamn fast
Big Time is proof that he lights em up just for fun.
@@VeniVidiLegonever did win no checkered flags…
😂
That car is so special! My 4th and 5th cars were American 240sx, one hatch, one coupe. I used to canyon drive, drift sometimes but my upgrades on handling were most directed on control. Super fast and, and quick when needed. I never sr20 swapped, fully built ka24. I have no videos or pics but that car was a monster. Never lost.. time trials in my canyon were unbelievable. I miss it very much. The cops had to take it away, now I have nothing. Did all the work with my friend in my driveway, or garage if there was room.. I love this car! S13 to death!
Honestly, this was a really fun way to highlight Jimmy. I've liked his recent Donut videos, but this was an awesome way to get to know him better as a person and learn about a cool car.
Jerry winding up Jimmy is proof of a great friendship. This video is excellent. Great to see Jimmy open up more about his cars. I didn't realise how big a car he was! Thanks for this guys, it was awesome!
He's a very big car
@@SoAaron_ 🤣 Lol, I'm not changing it now!!
I'm calling it now. This will be one of the most important car channels of the decade.
Already near 1.5 MILLION subscribers. That says a lot.
@@lka1988shows how much Jeremiah and Jobe were to people watching donut
Donuts fallen off since they left, shame cuz the ppl aren’t bad it’s just they do no car builds much
@@rcqrd They haven't left, both Donut and they have said they still will work with them just less. Donut fell off three years ago
100% agree
Ive had my RPS13 180SX for 24yrs, it has a CA18DET engine and still running strong. When I was a kid my neighbor had a Silve Q in that same 2 tone green. When I got mine it was 3k AUD from Japan in January 2000.
Jimmy is so natural in here!
100%, Jimmy seems more "Jimmy" is this video than any I've seen him in on Donut.
Absolutely agree. His charisma, natural chill, amusing vibe works so well here. This format works!
lol Jimmy saying the whole world is crumbling around him.
Yeah, that got a good chuckle out of me.
Love the vibes and banter on this video. Great to see Jimmy in his element and talking about things he's passionate about, JDM cars from Initial D. This is the kind of magic that's gone missing from a lot of big car channels. Keep up the amazing work Jerr and Jobe! I'm looking forward to more content like this!
You guys are the best.
We've been so mean to Jimmy, this Jimmy endorsement video is such a chill, big hearted réponse.
PLEASE I beg of y’all to NEVER let any business buy your channel out like donuts. We needed a channel like this again.
Or let em get bought out for a huge payday, then they start over with a new channel called "CarStuff" or something and get all their viewers over to that channel in an afternoon. 😄
@@8thlvlMage and then keep the cycle going over and over. You must be a business major. Genius
Seeing these guys happy makes me happy.
Big ups to Jer for acknowledging how tough jimmy has it stepping in to their shoes. jimmy is dope and I hope he finds his footing
Came for the car. Stayed for the interview with Jimmy. :)
"How old are they?" "Yes." LMAO
Watching Jimmy stressed tf out in his own car is as entertaining as it is relatable.
Love how excited everyone gets when our boys post. Happy Friday, bros and bro-etts!
hope they don't do many more of these backdoor intros for donut
This video is just proof that character arcs, character development, and origin stories make it easier to like people, take more interest in them, and endear yourself to them. Well done BigTime!
…these are real people, not characters.
@@aluisious I think you're missing the analogy 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
What you guys are doing is genius by setting expectations on initial episodes! Ep. 1 setting background on car hearts, Ep.2 creativity/Fun, Ep. 3 hosting skills. New fan here!
Props to Jimmy for letting Jer drive his baby like that. Definitely a stressful moment anytime you let someone else wheel your car
I don’t wanna compare views . I loved donut for years.
But both videos were released 12 hours ago 540k compared to 150k.
The fanbase is loyal to these two fellas !
I definitely enjoy this channel. No crazy budget , just good times.
8.81 million subscribers vs 1.31 million
@@eternalbeing3339 kinda insane hey.
Donuts truely tanked due to corporate bullshit and the little guy is absolutely dominating them.
People watch for the people on screen, not for the faceless corporations behind the brand name.
Its that simple.
One is a review of a cool, somewhat obscure car. The other is another low-budget reaction list.
It's new channel about cars by people who left bigger company, what did you expect? Especially with all the drama flying around. I would be surprised if it didn't have this many views.
I’m already in love with this channel, the editing, the music, it’s all coming together nicely. BigTime FOREVER
Seriously, the camera work has been freaking awesome. I was a fan of their Donut stuff, but this is next level.
This is a great interview format! love the interview style and the focus on the person and their vehicle>
Cool to see Jimmy step up and out into the light lately.
Even cooler to see him to tell Jer to calm his shit while driving ,and eating in, Jimmy's car.
Donut showed us a kid. Now we see the man.
Jimmy being Aussie makes so much sense he looks like the kid from paper planes and puberty blues 😂
I think Jimmy had the coolest anime girl car I've ever seen. Not that that's a high bar, but it's proof that one might have made it into cool territory at one point
I've enjoyed Jimmy's presence before on Donut, but seeing him here like this is makes me respect him even more. We need more of Jimmy in our lives.
Also, Iowa on your Mustang? Good taste, Jimmy.
S13? Jimmy Feature? Car History? GASSSS BIGTIMEBIGTIMEBIGTIME
These guys dont fuckin' miss!
@Bigtime, thank you!
21:30..
Funny you say that.
I was a kid back in the day and the S13 1-via was actually my first car and I learned how to drive on it!.
Subsequently learned how to drive things sideways as well..😂
This is the type of “reality” TV that should be on TV. This is what I miss about 00’s TopGear: A couple of friends hanging out, discussing cars, and engaging in various shenanigans.
No politics, educational, and fun to watch.
Lets go Big Time's Friday upload is what we all needed and wanted!
Props to the entire team. Videographer, editors, writers, anyone else I don’t know - they have a cohesive style that makes big time feel like big time.
I love how wholesome and just how natural every reaction with jeremiah and jobe are, it just feels right. Best decision ever!
6:06 JIMMY!!!!!! Slowly stealing the donut crew 😂😂
honestly i hope not. i think both channels benefit from the other, and we benefit when both thrive. this sorta crossover stuff is classy as hell.
@@SB-pf5rc this is true, this is true lol. One more video to add to the watchlist!!
@@SB-pf5rc This a great take, I want more good car content. Hopefully both channels thrive so we all have more to watch.
I just want an hour long fly on the wall kinda video of Jer, Jobe, James and Jimmy workin in Jobe's garage, hanging out. Buying car parts, taking the big rig out. Favorite channel. ❤
FR
Would be a cool streaming idea “The Hour of Power” with just a quick stream while at the shop, no mind paid to the camera
Naw. Fuck James. He's a loud obnoxious jerk that doesn't care about cars, just being famous.
The three J's
The Disrepected Nose style of MCM would suit itself well to this crew. Can't wait for the inevitable crossover.
Was really cool seeing seeing Jerry drive the car and Jimmy freaking out. It was just like when Takumi drove Iketani around in the show.
My thoughts exactly! ! !
JIMMY IT IS TIME TO BRING BACK THE AUSTRALIAN ACCENT, LETS GO BABY, WE LOVE YOU!! EMBRACE
God this brings me back to Up To Speed and B2B. Thank you guys for doing this ❤
In high school I had a '93 240SX, so these cars will always hold a special place in my heart. The foam spoiler was almost hilarious, and the under powered brakes much less hilarious. But man the engine, weight and handling was awesome. Great high schooler car. The kids w/ the SUVs missed out.
Tuning a car with a laptop ❌
Tuning the driver with a laptop ✅
Great video format. Very enjoyable to watch and easy on the ears. Love that it is quite informative between a cool and casual conversation between 2 down to earth dudes. Keep it up!!
I’m currently taking calculus three and you have no idea how incredibly happy it makes me to hear Jeremiah talking about orthogonal parametrics in real life applications
21:10 Jimmy grabbing his Sylvia plushy "I need my friend" 🤣🤣🤣
Garage tinkering? Check
Whacky hijinks? Check
And now comprehensive automotive history?
In all seriousness, the tone and vibe of all your videos is phenomenal.
It's oozing heart, soul and passion. Absolutely love it!
This is a great channel. Very Genuine. I liked that you kept the lighting of the drive natural. I felt like I was driving with a friend after work, being a car nerd. It was fun.
I just want to say it’s evident in even these first videos that you have taken all you’ve learned from your time at Donut and are marrying it with your guys’ passions. These videos feel so genuine and I’m excited for what’s to come. Keep up the good work, you guys are already killin it
God I just love everything about these videos. So happy to have a Jimmy feature and learn a little more about him. The editing and filming of this video is so pleasing.
People who think there is hate between donut and this channel are looking for drama. Get over it theyre both still good channels. This channel makes me happy af and glad to see the boys are having a huge following.
damn guys, BigTime is here and it's the car channel that we wanted, asked and needed. Just two guys that are great friends and that like cars just as we like, talking about them being passionate and without extreme shouting/screaming/drama. Jesus, ily guys.
Am I missing some channels? Because I've never seen shouting/screaming/drama on any I'm subbed to but this ain't even the first mention I've seen in the comments of this video
@@cenciende9401 i'm talking about how donut videos came to be after some years. Idk what the other folks are commenting about, but my comment was comparing BigTime videos to Donut videos
I remember a time when in Top Gear they used to trash these types of cars in dumb fun challenges, now they're a treasure to be found, oh how times haves changed.
we never really got to meet jimmy so i think thats where a lot of apprehension came towards him when he became a host. This is the exact video that donut should’ve made for him and the video that he deserves. very well edited i love what you guys are building here
I just love how natural things feel here, more relaxed and more educational, while still being fun to watch.
Watching yall take the silvia out for a drive gave me the biggest grin. Took me back to when I lived in tokyo with my fairlady z. Keep up the great work guys!
As a Japanese-American who loves JDM cars, lives in West LA, and drives up and down PCH regularly, watching you guys cruise around in a mint Silvia up past Malibu toward Point Mugu and down to Manhattan Beach was a real treat. Thanks, and please continue making awesome vids like these.
Lol this reads like a line from the Californians on SNL
In my day, the Opel Manta was the Euro version of the S13 for the 1980's. Very light at 2100 pounds and between 90-76HP. With a light engine build, headers and a Weber 120HP was available. It was a car with very neutral handling, that was just fun, fun to drive. I'd say the Euro 10 year old version of the S13 from the early 2000's. Cheap, fun and unique.
Talk about a car with a culture around it! I'm still looking for a subbed copy of _Manta, Manta._
Love the camera work, editing and music selection! The verity of music is insane. I’ve shazamed a few tracks from your videos! Keep it up!
crazy i learned more about Jimmy in this one video with yall than i have in the 7 years hes been with donut, no shade at donut i just like seeing the personal side of yall, it makes the videos feel so much better, nice to finally get to meet him some what
The anime garage wall was great, but at 15:19 the KYAAA vanity plate is absolute peak weeb itasha style. I rate that a waifu/10.
“ I think it’s a step up,Just on a different stair away” really good quote 12:57
That kid was white knuckled the minute Jer took the wheel 😂
I know the feeling. Jimmy's car is in great condition and you can tell he takes care of it and drives it in a manner so it last long. I have an 89 240sx in decent condition and even I don't push the RPMs due to the age of the engine.
Jer is driving way too hard for those ancient tires and most definitely dry rotted bushings.
Old tires like that are fine until you go full Paul Walker
I have new found respect for all of you people, doing things you dreamt of and actually committing to it. I still fidget to this date about me wanting a s15 spec aero till this date and I am older than Jimmy. Keep at it people. I am getting that inspiration I always wanted
Man it's honestly just refreshing seeing one of these iconic cars not being tuned, engine swapped and stanced to all hell. Not that I have anything against those, I just prefer the charm of bone-stock cars.
It us quite pleasant seeing a stock one !
This really is what donut used to be. Glad they are keeping it alive
I want more of this 20-30 minutes interview! The vibe were so chill and natural.
Btw, Jimmy's Mustang is impeccable! So is his Silvia.
This is the kind of content we want. It’s so refreshing to see the depth. Well done.
Dude, loving the background on Jimmy! Was super surprised to see him! Way to spread the love and keep up a great vid!
