      They eventually had to bring it to the dealer for a recall, and when they got the car back, they found a hidden message behind the engine cover:
      "Good luck Honda from Porsche. See you on the other side."

    Chris, honestly, this is the type of content that I know myself, my friends & colleagues with a petrol bent & others online are yearning for. The views from motoring based TH-camrs are high but not one could deliver content like this (but as it’s motoring content, it’s gets consumed in high volumes BUT a percentage of those viewing stats are those, like me, who just want motoring content full stop & make do with the youthful approaches). This piece didn’t brag, boast, shout or approach the subject with immaturity - instead, you got the right guy, the right content & the tone bang on. Thank you.
    I won’t comment on TG because I believe the audience is more "entertainment" bias now (and there’s a place for that) but true, informed, informative, geeky & detail focussed motoring content like this is HUGELY admired & yearned for. Harry’s Garage the other benchmark too.
    This & the recent "future of EV" piece are a new level - and one that isn’t being delivered quite yet. Please recognise the demand for this type of content - and design a channel which can deliver it.
