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
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

yeah. I thought this comment was a joke. then i finished the vid. ummmm. wtf were they smoking when they made this van?!
😹😹😹😹😹
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
the world's fastest vehicle is a rented transit

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
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
"...look at them, they're so majestic!"
I'M IN TEARS
IGUANA JOE I was watching this exact scene when I read your comment 😂 I’m dead 💀

That intro was fantastic
Edit: This whole video is
PeterLugNut ⚡️thanks for watching⚡️
Yes, this video is amazing. Their production value, scripts etc is off the charts
Watching this on the day Sabine Schmitz passed away
What a legend
RIP
For real shes a bonafide legend
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.
This was a million time more interesting than I thought it would be
Spot on
Try playing Forza 4 horizon I'm betting you might thank me
Ikr!
That’s James’ superpower lol
they always are
Buggati Chiron: *I'm speed*
Van: *I'm flash*
I see u are cultured aswell ( i see u kinda often to actually)
James looks like hes lost weight
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*
RIP Sabine Schmitz, queen of the Nurburgring. Your life was cut way too short, but your legend will never die.
James looks a lot healthier after his hospitalisation. He said he'd turn everything around and it looks like he came through. Good on you, James! Stay strong!
@David David he had a heart attack so he had to be hospitalised
He needs a NOS...
Yeah , looking good
Agreed. I had noticed last week that he was looking much more vital. A lot of people say they'll change, and then don't much to the chagrin of their loved-ones. So good on James for sticking with it. Seems like a cool guy, plus I find him wickedly entertaining.
He looks the same
"To haul their ugly, dirty little kids in" love it!
You know you're moving up in the world when you get sponsored by Ford themselves!
loved that intro sequence.
Tomorrows recommended video:
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
"Buff horses, oh, look at them, they're majestic!"
Genuinely laughed out so loud when the magestic horses came in. X
2:50 BRUH THAT VAN HAD AUTOMATICALLY LOWERING SIDESTEPS WTF
funny how technology from back when shows up today and is call "new"
Oh, you thought the automotive industry is still coming up with things... Not as much as they try to tell us
I drive a dually version with a tray and I can confirm it's a very slider Boi
@@TheBeelzboss thats totaly right.
Last year Opel "introdused" their SOS button in car media system. What they did'nt tell, was that it is actually requred with new regulations. And furthemore... My old opel from 2002 had the very same button. I even pasted into fb comment section under local opel fan page. people just did'nt belive it.
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
"...and you're the getaway driver!!"
*Proceeds to get on the back of the van*
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 🤦♂️🤦♂️👏
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
Dodge: sponsors up to speed
Ford: sponsors up to speed
Chevy: I see what’s going on he and I’m not so sure I like it.
LOLLLL
*here

9:10 when they voice over lmao

R.I.P. Sabine Schmitz. Goddess of the Nürburgring 😢.

Any JDM car:We’re the best a drifting
Ford transit: Wanna repeat that?
Another not funny comments
Qais Mousa another not funny reply
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
I love the “established last year” on the back of the boost creeps shirt
We had 2 80s E-350 DIY camper conversions growing up and now my parents have a SWB 2010s transit. My parents are and will always be about Ford Van life.
When are we gonna get a 24 hours of LeVans?
I am so down with that ! i would rather watch that than LeMans
This needs to happen. Like the Japanese Dajiban events but with all makes of vans. So glad to see people are getting back into vans again.
JDM: We are the Kings of drifting
Ford Supervan: Walks in
*hold my cargo*
plot twist bunta used this van not the ae86 to deliver his tofu

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!
LIGHTNING!..BUFF HORSES!.. OH WOW LOOK AT EM THEYRE MAJESTIC!
Remember when you says you would do SVT last year?
PS: Looove the video on the Transit, fantastically underrated
Thank you! I'm still stoked for that episode, I hope they get around to doing it.
SVT! SVT! SVT!
SVT Transit?
Yes, please.
I would buy like 6 “Mo Cargo Babeh” shirts.
Ditto
Same
Paired with cargo shorts
I will take 7.
No. Car go road, car go vroom. Car no go babeh
I love how high effort this video is, def deserves more love
Dude that beat at the end when he’s talking about boostcreeps is fire
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
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
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.
Had a "brand new at the time" 2018 Ford Transit at my previous job and only 4 months and 15k miles later I loved the van. Comfortable and drove great. Of course a lot of space in the back with racks and shelves.
J.H."...My literal friends at ford"
*Dodge Tattoo Begins to Burn*
James Hetfield?
Its Pumphrey not Humphrey
I’ve been living in a 2001 E350 with the v10 for the last few months traveling the states. I threw a supercharger on it and make 400 hp in my house 😂
Fuck yea bro..... I have a 2001 e450 shuttlebus with the 7.3. Wouldn't trade her for the world!
Fucking legit
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.
This is the best episode! Is there anything a van can’t make better?
“Oh wow, look at them, they are majestic” - I love it
Shag rugs = Essential Donut yet again CRUSHING another wild video!🔥😂
Oh hey glad to see y’all here!
Thats actually one of the best intros I've seen from donut. But then again their all awesome.
That Tshirt add is the best one you've ever done. BRING IT BACK!
someone: *steals my transit van

@ALSO-RAN ! Ah ffs how did i miss it. Im such an idiot
I wouldn’t think much of this.
If Forza didn’t give us the Supervan in Horizon 4
Miah Zoroh ikr
Me too 💥🔥
Fully upgraded it thinking it would be a joke but it became one of my favorite cars in the game
Donut media always have something new.. thanks Donut
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.
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.
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.
James Exposed xD
What! I had no idea!
my grandfather has an e350 from the 90s as a work vehicle, absolutely bare bones with no options whatsoever. has over 300k on the odometer, a testament to how bulletproof they were. i want that van so badly.
One of his best videos
“Oh wow look at em, they’re majestic!”
😂😂
Me: has CC on
James: BUFF HORSES!
Captions: 12 HORSES!
They should just disable auto captions, until they work :D
My company car is a 17 Transit and I’m absolutely in love with it!!
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 laughed the third time the horse thing came up 😂
"So majestic!"
I've been looking for info on the Supervan II for years, awesome!
Look at them there Majestic
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 😂.
8:43 I've been deceived...how could you James 😭😂😂
I remember when my family owned a 2013 Ford E-350 van. It was one of my favorite cars to drive at the time.
I would love to see Donut do an up to speed on Top Gear and The Grand Tour.
Me: I need some skate shoes
James: vans will get it done
I very much like that skit at the beginning more of that please
Just rewatched this video while working out, had to drop the weights because I needed to watch the intro again. Best intro ever
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!
Day 94 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad
Yes
hoo boi am i early my man
Haha trani lmao
Boi
You know your late when this guy is in the comments lol
he's looking SKINNY!! So proud :")
Awesome episode.
My god the intro was the sickest ever seen !! My god!!! Thanks for the gigs donut!
5:04 Lol You gotta love James!
"Lightning bah 12 horses oh, wow, look at them they are majestic!"
😂
You know he says buff horses, not 12 horses, right? 😂
*buff horses
@@outtaroute92 I think he's referring to the closed captions.
@@Equilibrium8 I would guess he is referring to what UA-cam says on the closed captions
As someone who drives a Ford Transit 250 for a living, I love it! Super comfortable!
"Oh wow, they're majestic!" cracks me up every time. 😂
Me: reading an article on vw vans
1 minute later: **Donutmedia uploads a video about vans**
Germans are better at all types of vehicles

2:28 NEW SHIRT BABY
I drove the 3.5 TT ecoboost Transit as a hire van picking up a motorbike, that thing was a BEAST. I didn't want to give it back!
I love these dudes raising the value of my crappy old van.
James you look skinny dude, great job. Glad you're keeping healthy #hotvanmaterial
Lightning! Buffhorses! Arh... Look at them, they're majestic!
It had me dying😂😂
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.
How is this video so hilarious and informative at the same time. Give this man a raise
“Oh wow look at them they’re majestic” 😂😂
James is losing a lot of weight, good for you bro! Stay healthy! And we appreciate you.
Sabine racing the ring in a transit is stuff of legend
Fam hope you taking care of yourself on the healthy side 💯, cause I look fwd for these video with you the host.
Up to speed on:
-Chevy c10 & gmc 454(arabian c10)
-f150 lightning and Ram srt10

As well as vans like the VW bus, Dodge Ram Wagon, Toyota Hiace, etc.
“Do you wanna know what I got? I got watching the sweat fall down my dad’s neck” so relatable

Dudes looking fit, well done man
