To celebrate 700k subs, we are doing an AMA with Ed this week. If you want to ask him a question, feel free to post it as a reply here. Over 600 questions submitted already via Instagram.

[@pwrightisright8611]

Submitted mine on IG. Can't wait. Congrats!

[@mycosys]

Ed is always so smooth and polished, id like to know what in his life has given him such passion he just couldn't maintain that. The times he giggled like a school girl, jumped round like a pogo stick or roared like a lion.

4 yrs later its cool to see an origin video of Dave and see how his role has grown in DDE.

Awesome story from Dave. Having the channel expand to other "hosts" has been a terrific model. Once Dave started to take some of the more regular duties, the channel started to grow even faster. He's got a laid back demeanor and seems very likeable and modest. Was very excited when he opened up the R8 and more so when the Gallardo arrived! Well done, Dave!

Life is like that. I think of many pivotal moments that could of been missed so easily, and always wonder where i would be if those moments didnt happen or had different outcomes.

Obviously not. Dave joined because he had a Ferrari and knew that meant he hadn’t potential. If it was the integra even after 10 years of course he wouldn’t join. That just means he hasn’t no potential. Damon earns a Ferrari so obviously Dave knew what he was doing so he quit his job. Idiot
