The Forum: I’ve always wondered what makes someone a brand person. I hear “I am BMW guy” or “I’m not a Mercedes person” and I don’t understand. Is it the looks? Driving feel? Easy/hard to work on one vs the other? Or just based on reputation? I’d like to hear your opinion on this.
For me personally it’s how they drive. I’m not a VAG or BMW person at all, when I drive them I just feel like a passenger while the car is doing all the work. I don’t feel involved at all. Worst car I’ve ever driven was a DSG Golf R. Get me in to a Renault sport anything and I’m happy but I know there are so many people who hate French cars.
I feel like the branding of the manufacturer plays the biggest part. I think that it draws a type of personality to like the brand that they want to be attributed to. But, I also think that this can fade in and out depending on the type of people you start seeing driving these different brands. A good example would be Mercedes. Again, broadly speaking they feel like they used to be about engineering elegance. Now the type of people that buy them tend to be blingy show offs. Great question though because I struggle to put my finger on it, even explaining what it feels like is hard to rationalise
I am a BMW person because I love planes (especially 1930s-1940s) and they made engines for them, but also I think that they make some of the best all round cars in terms of looks, performance, and design. BUT anything of theirs past the 80s doesn’t do it for me
Back in the early 2000’s a friend mentioned there was a specialist car dealer near his house. We popped up on a Sunday evening and there was a white lancia Delta Intergrale in the window for £14k. My wife at the time said no cos it was left hand drive 😢😢
I am not a car guy, and my career path is completely away from mechanics - finance and co-hosting a finance-themed podcast. But watching TG and GT is what shaped the way my podcast is structured. The TG-like intro, gags amidst serious discussions, adaptations of British humor (though not that understandable for my country) - the trio is who gave inspiration for all this. They are genuine legends and icons for hundrends of content creators and thousands of people
I have been watching you guys since car throttle days and I too am a car addict. I'm now 56 (17 in my head) and y first word spoken that anyone could make out was Lamborghini. I get the nerd levels on this podcast. Genuinely makes my drive to and from work bearable listening to this.
14:40 "you like I, are cursed" This is why I love listening to you guys, you also have the quick and witty jokes that spice up the car talk with some humor!
Because you guys are talking about cars in rap, I got reminded of my absolute FAVOURITE Hiero track, Oakland Blackouts, where Opio says the line, "I'm clean, like brand new Momo's on a Porsche, and your shit is sittin' on rims" i know it's a bit of a "who tf asked" moment but uhhh yeah 👍
I do enjoy listening and watching you guys. I was so sad when Grand Tour rolled off to the sunset but did cheer up when their cars showed up back in the UK. To Evilution’s comment, is Will related to Nick Frost?!
Chaps you really make me feel I'm present in your conversations, you're the only podcast that makes me feel this way, not even Alex and the other chaps managed
Just gone back and searched the Top Gear laughs video and despite having seen it before I'm still sat here with tears of laughter in my eyes. It is definitely going to be strange not having that trio on the same show anymore. For me Richard seemed like that one who maybe wasn't quite ready for it to accord.
Interesting what you say about top gear - I don't think you touch on it; but you shouldn't underestimate how many "non-car" people ended up with a mild interest in car content through that show. I love your content - don't get me wrong. But I'm not a car guy, at least I don't think you would class me as one. I drive a diesel Volvo and don't really want a project, I'm more of a bicycles and growing vegetables sort of guy lol But their chemistry was enough to make people who weren't interested in the geeky stuff watch. And it stuck with me and many others. I really love watching and learning from the "car guys", but I watch as much because I love your enthusiasm more than I actually care about cars. It's just lovely to see a bunch of fellas geeking out about stuff they love. It's a great vibe even if you don't like what they love!
Yeah that’s pretty much the only reason I stopped listening to theirs, which is a shame cause I otherwise enjoyed it. Just can’t deal with all the shouting 🤷🏼♂️

Gents, really enjoying these. Listening to them on the way to and from work on Australia! Love the main channel too and love that you are going to do garage updates because a lot of channels don't and I find it sooooo annoying. Also on the black wheels topic, have a look at some Australian 4wds that are modded up, it works I promise. I myself need to find a new set for my Hilux and it's either black, silver or bronze 😐 hard choice for a graphite grey ute.
Everytime you guys upload, I click on that notification so fast I forget what I was already watching! Keep it up guys you're smashing the UK car content scene ❤❤
TGGF is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen on British television, there is something funny in every frame but you have to be watching closely to see them all. Andy Wilman is a comedic genius of a producer! It's available on UA-cam, well worth a watch.
48:05 they did also sell the Escort in the US, the 1st gen American one was the 3rd gen European one , the 2nd gen US one was a 2nd gen Ford Laser, and the 3rd gen was its own separate thing
Have to agree with supercharged cars, my S4 is the first one I have had, and it is hard to look at anything else. Granted it is modified with an induction and scorpion exhaust, along with a custom map, so it's now making 460bhp, which means a lot of work to get it there, but every time you give it the beans, the supercharger whine is very very addictive. Also, had to edit this after hearing the argument, I also have gunmetal alloys (RS Style) but I have been thinking of gold...
Though I am similarly afflicted I do feel the CREAM pod could benefit form some additional visual adds. With as specific as you lads are on cars putting some visuals up of the like C63 face life would make this even more digestible to the less afflicted. All the love lads I’ll be watching theses all regardless. Brilliant work and keep making all this fun stuff
had a similar chat with a mate back in like 2015. we came to the conclusion that from a life value perspective, the trio have to have had close to the best jobs/careers of all time.
The dpf removal on a m57 330/335d, I bought a manual 330d e92 coupe and it was brilliant, and decided I wanted to delete egr, swirl flaps and the dpf. Simple you would think. I did the egr and swirl flaps with no issues at all until I came to remove the dpf and you have to remove an engine mount to get it out, simple enough you think. Not the case! The 4 bolts that hold the engine mount to the block are pretty much impossible to get to. And you can’t see them. Got it done though, never again I thought. Ended up getting rid for a 335d and it had already had all the deleted done so I thought great. Until I started to get smoke coming from the back of the engine, coming from the damn dpf. So I’ve got to do it allllllll over again send help😂
My take on the BMWs is that sadly der neue klasse is most likely going to be peak modular design (you can choose the same model for ICE, hybrid or electric). It could be great but I can see the likely compromises for all types (the powertrains) in order to be able to easily fit all of them into the same chassis. I have no basis for this other than my observation of german manufacturers in the past few years.
Edwin is right about black wheels, I’ve got an M140i shadow edition and the wheels will have to be changed even if it’s just a colour change as I quite literally despise them 😂 Before every car came with alloy wheels we used to put wheel trims on to cover the black steel wheels behind them because they look shit, nothing has changed they still look shit and Will is completely wrong 😎
Love black wheels on some cars but I also like the silver and greys etc. Coloured wheels are very hit and miss. Gold wheels only look good on Subaru Impreza's and 911s. There's a Porsche dealership near where I work and outside atm is a dark green GT3 touring with gold wheels and side stickers and I have a crisis every time I drive past it 😬
With the grand tour finale I was dying of laughter at the train cars and hammond going backwards, but as soon as they found the lancia and Mercedes, scripted as it may be, that broke me, there were tears
Awkwardly DriveTribe themselves did a video a long time back saying that those cars were still in Botswana, and they also did one explaining what happened to the Source of the Nile estate cars.
I was so pleased when Will said the Merc ML. Killing the bloodline of awful crossover/SUVs which are shit to drive, shit to look at and shit to be hit by is exactly what I was thinking when the question was asked.
I watched every top gear episode a million times over on Dave. I watched every GT episode as soon as they came out. My dedication has been unrelenting even with the GT not being their best work at times. 100% felt like I had been punched in the stomach at the end. Top gear will always be my youth.
Interresting thing if the Honda Jazz never existed i dont think i would have noticed. They are everywhere I live, but i only recently fund out they exited.
It's true. I am a content creator for Meguiar's, Mobil 1, and brand specialist for Elf in Australia. All thanks to Top Gear blowing my mind when I was a kid.
I used to daydream about sitting on the couch being interviewed as the "average guy in a reasonably priced car," Thank God for Samsung TV it plays too gear 24/7 on the too gear channel and prime streams them all as well.
I also am craving a W204 C63 AMG, coupè only though, have been the past couple of years and I plan to sell my MK2 Focus RS for one next summer. Disagree with the black wheels and silver rim though, i think thats the best look on the C63 personally 😎👌
One of the worst jobs I've done so far... Clio 172/182 starter motor. Had to change it 3 times. After the first, I paid a specialist and they were impressed that someone had managed it 😂
I’m with Edwin on the black wheels. They don’t look good unless they’re on a murdered out g63 😅 And I’m with Will on brightly coloured wheels. Unless they’re banded steels
The very fact that you can refer to them as the trio and 70% of people know who they is testement to the way they have changed the world. I quote shows all the time, my favourite is just to shout hammmondd at colleges.
As an american, the early top gear days looked like waiting until the show aired, then waiting until it was uploaded to final gear and downloading it and setting up ps3 media server and inviting your friends over to watch.
The day that the bbc issued a takedown notice to final gear was the day I stopped watching top gear. It had been easily 10 years of watching top gear via final gear. The bbc had been aware the whole time and were letting it happen, my guess would be because they knew a lot of countries including america there was no other way to watch top gear. So when they did the deal with the history channel or whoever it was they decided to not let final gear host episodes anymore. Sure I could have switched to direct tv and bought the package that had that channel that had top gear and watch it on a 6 month delay,.... How reasonable of an expectation....
I’ve got gloss black ZU alloys on my 2001 Defender, didn’t like the look of it in any other colour when I was mocking them up. Previously it has silver painted steel wheels and I wanted something completely different and seeing other Defenders of the same colour with silver alloys I didn’t really like the look.
Z31. Metaphorically speaking, the engine compartment is akin to an undersized container, overfilled with shards of glass and rusty metal. Reaching into is only pain and shredded flesh.
All I'm thinking about the argument at the end is classic cars looking so good on stupidly wide black wheels. Putting a set of black Watanabes on a 70's Datsun or big black stock car steels on an old muscle car and it's just the best thing you can do to them.
I went to watch top gear live when I was about 12-13 I then went to see clarkson Hammond and may live when I was 21 I then went to the Premiere of the Grand tour in London and met Andy Wilman. No one can understand the importance the trio had on my life
Question for 'The Forum'... What's the difference between a small block and a big block? And is it possible to convert a small block into a big block? I could search on Google, but I’d rather hear it from you. Thanks!
Forum questions: Tools.. how did you get them all? (Obviously buy them but how they are so expensive) also what tools do you need to start working on your car
The black wheel conversation is the exact conversation I've had with people 🤣. All black wheels look shite. I've never seen a black wheel that wouldn't look better if it were silver.
Not oldschool at all, but Tylor the Creator has a whole treasure trove of car lyrics. One of my favourites is from ASAP Rockys lost and found freestyle 2019, where Tylor refers to his E30 M3 as the "cum coloured beamer"
Okay it's sad about the top gear guys. But you guys are the future. You are doing it now. The future is UA-cam. There's no need to aspire to be on television. You guys are going from strength to strength. Your channel will get bigger and bigger. Everyone followed you from where you were before. Look at you now
14:25 I don't give a crap about cars, besides occasionally teasing my BMW friend or my Ferrari friend. But I love watching car shows that don't take themselves too seriously.
As soon as you mentioned "top gear laughs" I immediately think of James May wheezing as Jeremys Tower block car weaves on the motorway
going back it will always be the convertible people carrier, or the cheap supercar challenge.
Just did a 200km twisty mountain drive in the back country (in a 1990 E30 320is) ... and got home to find there's a new CREAM podcast... Perfect day.
You are living in a dream, seriously, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the E30 320is have a dogleg manual gearbox?
@@Mecanic0_exe Indeed it does, dogleg Getrag 265/5 and a smaller 2.0L version of the E30 M3 S14 engine.

Te37 look good in matte black. Especially on a black car. Especially when they're staggered and with good fitment
I used to daydream about sitting on the couch being interviewed as the "average guy in a reasonably priced car," Thank God for Samsung TV it plays too gear 24/7 on the too gear channel and prime streams them all as well.
I also am craving a W204 C63 AMG, coupè only though, have been the past couple of years and I plan to sell my MK2 Focus RS for one next summer. Disagree with the black wheels and silver rim though, i think thats the best look on the C63 personally 😎👌
I think Clarkson described driving the Bentley as "going sideways in Blenheim Palace" 😂
One of the worst jobs I've done so far... Clio 172/182 starter motor. Had to change it 3 times. After the first, I paid a specialist and they were impressed that someone had managed it 😂
I’m with Edwin on the black wheels. They don’t look good unless they’re on a murdered out g63 😅
And I’m with Will on brightly coloured wheels. Unless they’re banded steels
Nice something to listen to cheers guys keep it up 😊
The lighting is fantastic.
The very fact that you can refer to them as the trio and 70% of people know who they is testement to the way they have changed the world. I quote shows all the time, my favourite is just to shout hammmondd at colleges.
Ghetts has a sick part of a verse about cars,
“Golf GTI Mark 1
That's how long I've had cars from
MR2's and MX-5's
R-E-A-L, better recognise”
you should discuss Monte Carlo by Struggle Jennings, Clarkson used it in the final special too and i havent been able to get the song out of my head.
As an american, the early top gear days looked like waiting until the show aired, then waiting until it was uploaded to final gear and downloading it and setting up ps3 media server and inviting your friends over to watch.
The day that the bbc issued a takedown notice to final gear was the day I stopped watching top gear. It had been easily 10 years of watching top gear via final gear. The bbc had been aware the whole time and were letting it happen, my guess would be because they knew a lot of countries including america there was no other way to watch top gear. So when they did the deal with the history channel or whoever it was they decided to not let final gear host episodes anymore. Sure I could have switched to direct tv and bought the package that had that channel that had top gear and watch it on a 6 month delay,.... How reasonable of an expectation....
Black Weller steels or deep dish steels are amazing in black
TDC listen to old school hip hop 😮. We need a TDC playlist! Need more old school recommendations
I cant be the only one who loves seeing ben on the channels lol....Big up Benjamin every time 🔥
I’ve got gloss black ZU alloys on my 2001 Defender, didn’t like the look of it in any other colour when I was mocking them up. Previously it has silver painted steel wheels and I wanted something completely different and seeing other Defenders of the same colour with silver alloys I didn’t really like the look.
My favorite Gene hunt and top gear "keys to the Quattro"
Cracking podcast once again lads.
Ah the FTO, saw it the other day on a trailer south of Cambridge. No doubt it was that car, couldn't miss the thing! lol
Z31. Metaphorically speaking, the engine compartment is akin to an undersized container, overfilled with shards of glass and rusty metal. Reaching into is only pain and shredded flesh.
I agree that some black wheels CAN look good but that they will always look better in a non-black colour
If you don't know it check out "500 Benz" by joey badass. You'll definitely vibe with it
All I'm thinking about the argument at the end is classic cars looking so good on stupidly wide black wheels. Putting a set of black Watanabes on a 70's Datsun or big black stock car steels on an old muscle car and it's just the best thing you can do to them.
I went to watch top gear live when I was about 12-13
I then went to see clarkson Hammond and may live when I was 21
I then went to the Premiere of the Grand tour in London and met Andy Wilman.
No one can understand the importance the trio had on my life
I have a suggestion for next week's car song: I Wanna Be Yours - Arctic Monkeys. They mention the rust on the Ford Cortina as a point of comparison.
Question for 'The Forum'... What's the difference between a small block and a big block? And is it possible to convert a small block into a big block? I could search on Google, but I’d rather hear it from you. Thanks!
Forum questions:
Tools.. how did you get them all? (Obviously buy them but how they are so expensive) also what tools do you need to start working on your car
Can’t wait to see the clio V6 😁
Could you please add this to Apple Podcasts also?
The black wheel conversation is the exact conversation I've had with people 🤣. All black wheels look shite. I've never seen a black wheel that wouldn't look better if it were silver.
Just a thought. It would be nice if you cut in som stills of some of the cars you're talking about?
When I saw it was called Cream, I thought it was a reference to the band.
I think after last week Edwin's last name is now Evans 🤣🙈
This is great keep it up 🙂
G-unit - Stunt 101
50 cent starts the verse off with "7 series BM, 6 series Benz"
The car I wish never existed: Tesla Cybertruck, close second Pontiac Aztek
Not oldschool at all, but Tylor the Creator has a whole treasure trove of car lyrics. One of my favourites is from ASAP Rockys lost and found freestyle 2019, where Tylor refers to his E30 M3 as the "cum coloured beamer"
I managed to convince my mum to spec silver wheels on her mini and it just looks classy
Okay it's sad about the top gear guys. But you guys are the future. You are doing it now. The future is UA-cam. There's no need to aspire to be on television. You guys are going from strength to strength. Your channel will get bigger and bigger. Everyone followed you from where you were before. Look at you now
Love your Cream in my ears. Please put a sticker on you mac over the apple maybe a cream one?
Jack just copped quite possibly the best compliment ever being likened to James May...totally agree
I think using the lift arms as drink holders is low-key the most gangster thing I've ever seen
You said that before 🥱
14:25 I don't give a crap about cars, besides occasionally teasing my BMW friend or my Ferrari friend. But I love watching car shows that don't take themselves too seriously.
