Why My Fleet - Ferrari, Bentley and Peugeot All Have to GO!

[@RandomGuyDan]

The pivot towards reviews rather than projects has been a good move. You're quite good at it and have reviewed a really fantastically diverse group of cars. I hope you'll be able to continue as I have come to look forward to your videos.

[@Number27]

Thank you 🙏!! That’s great to hear.. I know some are disappointed but my project videos simply were not getting enough views for the work and time involved.

[@dominotr7]

@@Number27 also like the reviews but shame they can’t be done alongside the projects for a better balance. But then, it’s not my channel! 😅

[@RandomGuyDan]

@@albertgreenwood4517 I like the repair videos too, but I subscribe to a lot of channels with that same content so don't mind that there is less of that here.

[@TheKRU251]

I must admit to viewing the projects fully........ but skipping most of the reviews.

[@NigelDeForrest-Pearce-cv6ek]

Good Luck!!!

[@Faithinthedock]

Difficult one regarding the Influenzo. She's like your 'Gone in 60 Seconds' Eleanor and your battles with her really put your channel on the map. I'm sure the road tests are easier to film (and much much cheaper) but it really was the captivation of following basically a supercar being fixed by a relative novice (no disrespect intended) with the equivalent of a Haynes manual. For regular folk like me that's fascinating (and inspiring) to watch..

[@peterh1386]

Completely agree - the struggles with the Influenzo are what led me to the channel... Great as Jack's style is, non-stop road tests get a bit dry after a while...

[@kingoffifa]

Saved me the effort of working the exact same. His channel is growing with the car reviews, and he said somewhere along the line he wasn’t quite able physically to continue the mechanics. Still miss him doing the mech work.

[@jamesmount3189]

@@peterh1386, I’m with you! I never used to miss an episode of Jack working on a car. Now with all the Road Tests, I just can’t be bothered.

[@greggraham2642]

Don't sell the 308!!!

[@simes205]

I started watching to watch the 308 being repaired by a novice too.

[@MyRetroWatches]

A sad day. I started watching your channel from the first Ferrari video and really enjoyed the content on this car and all the other since. I do prefer the videos where you weee problem solving and repairing as opposed to the review stuff but I realise this is a business for you now so you have to chase the views. Don’t get me wrong your car reviews are great as you have the ability to retain knowledge and real it off well in the videos without a script. It’s impressive as I can’t do that with my watch repair ! I’d still like to see the occasional repair video though its what founded the channel and for us long term subs I think we would appreciate it. 308 has always been a special car for me , I can never afford to own one but watching you with yours has been a joy so I will miss that . All the best Jack. It’s all for the right reasons I’m sure.

[@Number27]

Hey buddy, I appreciate the support and yes.. the spannering videos just weren’t getting enough views to keep the channel viable!

[@lukewest4691]

Good bye - Ferrari and Jack

[@martindivall5301]

I subscribed because of the 308, but I stayed because of your enthusiasm, even when things went wrong. You will no doubt regret selling it, but you gotta do what you gotta do at this time .

[@ba2724]

This hits hard. I subbed for the beautiful 308 and have enjoyed every minute of vid you've put up since. I can only hope you have something that will capture our imagination shortly. And bravo for the pajamas: it's only appropriate that you wear them near the 308! Good luck, Jack!

[@markbrill8944]

Now the 2nd most famous 308 in the world (after Magnum)…. It’s been a blast. Good luck with the next one

[@michaelchamberlain879]

I think a Mini Cooper S of the supercharged generation would be a great option for your daily hack. Inexpensive now, good handling and a massive opportunity to upgrade. Only other option I would suggest would be an Alfa Romeo Brera. Best looking hatchback ever made.

[@davidclarke5238]

The diesel and the TBI engine are ok, not the GM derived mongrel blocks.

[@roelfkromhout]

@@davidclarke5238 mongrel blocks, lol. Yeah I see a suspicious many with rebuilt engines on the local marketplace.

[@tomlanigan4308]

That must have been a tough decision to make, Jack. I hope one day you get to review a Fiat 131 Sport or even an Abarth. Although you have owned many cars including German, and English, the Dino-engined Fiat or Pantera equivalents could be the Lamborghini V8s, or even a Strato's replica.

[@AdeyBear]

Must say Jack your Ferrari looks stunning in this vid, I'm not up on my prices but 60k sounds good value to me. I worked for a Peugeot dealer in what I think were there best years, from 90-98 so worked on new and used 205,309,106,405 and the 306. Again 9k for a sorted GTI6 sounds good to me, especially when you look at prices of 205's now. All the best with the sales, maybe throw in the Pyjamas with the Ferrari as a sweetener 😂

[@baasbowing]

C’mon man! He said £65k…not 60! Or did you just unilaterally knock off 5k off the asking price?😂😂👍🏼

[@Blackmamba12345]

It’s not good value. More like £45k tops.

[@Blackmamba12345]

£9 grand for the 306 is also a rip off.

[@cp4512]

I had a S1 Elise in 1998. Sold it as my kids came along. It’s the only car I’ve ever truly regretted selling. Glad you’re keeping yours 👍

[@simonwalker7957]

Haha, I bought my mk1 in 1999 because my daughter was on the way! Now or never. I still have it 24 years later. Jack, you’re definitively keeping the right car especially for roads like the Thurlbury TT near you; I took mine over a couple of months back and it’s a hoot. My independent Lotus mechanic who has serviced mine from day one reckons they are soon to shoot up in price due to being old enough to be able to import into the USA as a classic car, possibly by +50%. You will be wise to get some decent tires and setup done as it’s another level of handling for sure, good luck and thanks for such an entertaining channel.

[@timbre7999]

Loved seeing you work on your cars, do miss that: the BX vids were great and of course the influenzo

[@duckmcf]

It’s a big call to sell the 308. To be brutally honest, it’s the car that brought me to your channel and without it on semi-rotation I can see myself drifting away…

[@scottjohnson4319]

I'm the same, for road test's I see Harry's Garage and Henry Catchpole on Hagerty and that's tough competition. Best of luck with the cat.

[@Eric-pw5yf]

Hi Jack! Sorry to see the cars go, but everything for a reason. My advice on a nice sporty and daily driver, the Alfa Romeo 159 SW Ti with the 1750tbi engine. The Ti trim makes the looks! Had mine for 3 years and was so much fun to drive and a beautiful design too. Never had problems as long as buy one with a good history etc. The diesels seem pretty good too, but I just loved the 1750 because it’s a very lively engine and gives you that Italian touch which you will miss now the 308 is going 😢. Best of luck!

[@marcelhandsome6042]

I don't think getting rid of the Ferrari 308 is a shrewd decision I think these will go up in value and styling by Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti is one of the most beautiful cars ever made! That exquisitely sculpted bonnet is a sight to behold! plus the connection with Magnum, P.I. only adds to the appeal. The other two cars are less special not rare so no great loss. As a daily have you considered something special rare? a Lancia Thesis? they have high mileage capabilities! (known in Holland as the Italian Mercedes!) A Golf come-on! is not cutting it on this show! Nobody is interested! just saying.

[@simonprinn3790]

Hi Jack - I liked the project vids but really love the reviews. I like the eclectic mix of cars. You’re not just doing the obvious stuff, you really get into the back story and that’s fantastic.

[@theblackhand6485]

A wrecked Lotus or a finally good running great looking Ferarri GTS ...pick your choice. Anyway, three cars out: what will be new soon?

[@AndyS63]

I subbed to the channel to see your struggles with the Influenza and I was hooked! I can take or leave the reviews as there are so many others doing a similar thing. I enjoy the mechanical side of the channel and have missed that in the recent months. I understand why you do the reviews but it would be better if you could mix it up a little with some maintenance videos.

[@andrewgurney6019]

Sad to see the Ferrari go, it brought me to your channel and it's been a pleasure to see the progress made on her. Not sad to see either the Bentley or Pug leave, but delighted on the Elise, they are stunning little cars.

[@RepairandRideout]

I had a 306 GTi6 back in the day. Cost me my license for a while!! Good luck Jack with whatever replaces the Ferrari, can't wait. Thanks for all the great videos

[@marklee7545]

Immensely sad to see your 308 go, Jack, but it was a pleasure to meet you both at Bicester Heritage last year. I only wish I had the funds to take it on. Like many others I too subscribed for the next tale of the achingly beautiful but frustrating InfluEnzo. Your updates kept me (and probably thousands of others) going through lockdown and inspired me to acquire my own bright red classic … and one engine rebuild and countless problems in, I’m also building a nice collection of experiences (and sheaf of bills!). Slightly surprised the Elise is staying but I can see how you’ve become attached (I’m less enamoured tbh). Thank you so much for keeping us all regaled with your ongoing tales over the last few years. We’ll all miss that and YT will be the poorer, but I wish you all good luck for your next endeavour, whatever it is. Do keep us posted on how it goes, and all the very best.

[@neilswheels6783]

How about an Alfa 147 Ducati Corse for a daily? A lot of fun to drive with the Q2 LSD, more torque than a GTA, 45mpg and available in 5 door if you wanted..

[@dominicwebb8000]

So Jack, the S1 tops everything else, thought you’d discover that. That’s why everyone keeps them for ages. Most engaging car ever built. Hope the other cars sell quickly.

[@matt1081]

Gotta agree with others here. I found the project videos far more engaging and real. I understand that review videos get more views but I hope they don’t fizzle out and lost with the masses. All that said, there is only so much that you could do with the 308 and it was inevitable that at some stage it would be a finished project. In a way a bit like PH, I love reading the real life projects and readers cars. I find them much more engaging than the latest super car review. In any case, I wish you well and thank you for the good memories with the 308 during our lockdown times! All the best

[@pj9375]

An interesting view that you don’t believe these cars like the 308 to hold or increase in value Jack. I’d love a video to delve a bit more on why you think that is. Love the new addition to your family! Hilarious as he jumps on the bonnet😂 ps love your car reviews so glad you’re going more this way.

[@richardwoollaston3650]

It will be the lunacy of net zero.

[@itiejim]

End of an era, but I'm sure you'll have other great cars in the future. I do agree with your assessment that used car prices are definitely on the slide though. Good luck with the sales and glad to see you're keeping the Frankenlise - and using those tyres I brought over 👍

[@rodhowitt1342]

My daily beater is a Peugeot 306SW Bluetech Diesel Alure spec with top optional leather, zero road tax UELZ friendly 60 plus mpg. not very inspiring I know but really god on the pocket. On a recent run to Holland and back it managed 800 miles on one tank of fuel.

[@juliancarter4400]

I drive a manual MK 7 Golf GTD that I bought at 3 years old, which had every options box checked at new (including the Sport and Sound pack that added the sport exhaust which makes it sound like a 5 cylinder petrol) and its honestly the best all rounder I have ever owned including over more expensive cars. Brilliant little car and highly recommended if you were thinking about going down that route. Happy and on motorway while returning 60MPG and great fun on the B roads too. I cant bring myself to part with it.

[@stevemoon2136]

This gave me flash backs of Tyler Hoover.. Hope all is well. The Ferrari 'investment' words may come back to bite...

[@BR-ur2gk]

After contemplation, I would replace Pepe with a Peugeot RCZ facelift, still keeping the Pepe brand, 4 seats, massive boot, double bubble roof very practical for day to day and future unicorn. Second choice BMW Z4 Coupe, drive it forever nice boot all the mod cons, driving pleasure slightly heavy on fuel but the sport button compensates and unicorn status. Instead of the Bentley there are so many great Maseratis with Ferrari engines for a bargain prices if you know what to look for, my favorite is still the Spyder in silver with oxblood interior. As for the 308, the only car you can really replace that with is the 288 GTO because no car on this planet looks better - especially a 77 that you brought back to life, the Lazarus Enfluenzo is part of our KZbin culture now - keep it. Although its not really my recommendations its just my garage but you and JayEmm have been so inspirational in my collection I just had to let you know, love your channel I've been restoring my 308 GTS '77 for 15 years now and had nearly all the same issues you did, I wish you were around when i started , but loved solving the problems it presented, and so satisfying when you hear that V8 burble the way Enzo intended Look forward to seeing your new garage e buona fortuna per tutto amico mio!

[@CapitulationTrader]

Happy to see you in the influenzo outfit again! Jack, of course you’ll regret selling the Ferrari. Alas, you must do what you must do. Sadly, I know how this feels.Thanks for sharing with us and best of luck moving forward. Cheers amigo

[@hhjones9393]

I will hate to see the 308 go! It was such a great journey and it has turned out so well. I really wish that you could keep it and enjoy it longer. It is indeed the car that attracted me and so many others to your fantastic channel.

[@Linford707]

For a daily driver I recommend a Mini R59 Roadster Cooper SD. I have a 80mile commute on twisty Norfolk roads and can't think what more fun you could have costing so little to run

[@simonhodgetts6530]

I’ll be sad to see the 308 go - but……it has been a very interesting and entertaining chapter in the channel’s history, and, it introduced me to the quite brilliant Iain Tyrell, whose own channel provides peak classic car content. Your car reviews are doing brilliantly - I don’t know where you’re finding the cars, but recently you’ve had some really exotic and interesting stuff! Onwards and upwards - I’ll bet you’ve already got your eyes on a Pantera!

[@stephenscholes4758]

Me too

[@feedingravens]

Sounds like almost the standard. My Opel Astra as winter and bad weather driver needed new rear springs, front breaks, a/c cooler, brake lines - at least all independent issues, nothing where you can say neglect has destroyed more costly parts. Cost a fortune. The Opel Calibra as sunny weather car is now hopefully halfway through, was way easier to get through the TÜV.

[@DustinDriver]

Yep, MK7 Golf (GTI/GTD). Best all-around fun daily!

[@kramnam4716]

yes i had a gti performance.. trouble was it was so dull to drive i was going everywhere at 120 mph on the motorways. sold it!

[@McAve07]

Hi, I'm your subscriber from Lithuania :) As a daily instead 306, I suggest trying a Giulietta QV. It's pretty cheap to buy, quite reasonable on fuel, has a smooth yet composed ride, and has enough power. One thing I could complain about is the engine noise, which is soulless. Otherwise, the car impresses much, the styling and brakes are fantastico!

[@chefluvfood]

Love the cat🤣 no filter just doing it's own thing 👌😁

[@Wargasm54]

Don’t get rid of the Influenzo. 😢. You’ll regret it. I know it’s been like a troublesome family member. But she literally is family at this point. I think the 308’s will become more appreciated in the next 5-10 years. And price will follow.

[@markmcgrath9098]

Totally agree with you on the Pug… Gti6 really is the benchmark hot hatch. Drove a press car in Oz a long time ago. A perfect blend of controlled firmess that Peugeot abandoned with the 307, lightning fast turn in, playfull lift off oversteer, probably less than claimed horsepower, good looks and reasonable safety. Good luck with plans mate.

[@Whiters8]

Sad to see with the 308. I'm going through similar with my early 996 at the moment. Five years and never wanted to sell it, but other things in life need attention. The MX5 i've had for ten years that was supposed to go when I got the Porsche has survived and will receive renewed focus. I always find once once a car has gone, it's never as bad a feeling as I imagine it to be. Onwards to different things!

[@jacobfoster6773]

Daily wise, Brera or 159 Sportwagen with 2.4 JTDm diesel engine.

Having thoroughly enjoyed all the Influenzo videos I'm sorry to see the 308 go but, speaking for myself, it wasn't the reason I subbed at the time. That was for the Frankenlise and since then I picked up my own Elise and am glad you are keeping yours. It just covers all the bases for driving experience and there's just nothing like it I find. Good luck with your sales and looking forward to future videos as always :)

[@fawadali135]

I love your reviews. They are not generic repeats of each other and you pick cars that are truly exciting and different. Most cars you review are the ones I like, so keep going. I am sure you’ll consider an odd repair video if you get something as exiting as the Influenzo. Wish I could afford it. From the States :)

[@Number27]

I appreciate that! Thank you so much!!

[@MarcosCodas]

I'm sad to see these go, I'm amazed at how much the Peugeot can bring in, but I understand that time forgives nobody and it's good to sell while the prices are good. Can't wait to see your new daily! Perhaps a W211 diesel? They are indestructible and amazingly comfortable.

[@gaetanoflorio6277]

[@squeakers27]

Sad to see the car that ultimately boosted your channel to where it is today but good idea to sell that it's actually behaving right now and running well haha. If you want a more modern daily car that's still fun, I would personally recommend an F56 Mini Cooper S, very fun handling, comfortable, remapped from 192hp to 270hp at lohen mini, while still getting 40-50mpg and extremely reliable, absolutely love it.

I suggest mk 7 fiesta ST for daily driver. Cheap to buy, cheap to run, fast-ish, handles well (feels like it rotates around handbrake when turning in), gives good fuel economy.

During the years of troubleshooting, every test drive had the exciting potential of proving it worked better than before.

Thanks Jack, I would find it hard to sell the Ferrari and the Bentley but keeping the Lotus is a good move. I should have grabbed the Lotus offered to me instead of the MGTF 160. At the time I saw the difficulty with the soft top pf the Lotus as a problem, not realising that I was now retired and didn't need an easy way to put the top up as I had plenty of time. I look forward to the variety of cars you drive and enjoy each video. I think you should look at the Skoda offerings for a daily driver.

[@benbuchanan672]

You’ve got a car from the 80s, 90s and 00s there. Quite a neat line up and a nice angle for the channel which, let’s face it, focuses on modern classics. Why not stick to that formula when considering replacements? Personally, although I’ve followed the Influenzo journey from the start, and loved the videos themselves, I’m not particularly stuck on the car. Likewise the 306 and Bentley. If you’ve reached the end of the road, move on. My suggestions (based purely on personal preference but which seems uncannily aligned with your own) would be: 70s/80s: Beta Montecarlo, Datsun 240/60/80 or even 300ZX, Citroen, Alfa Montreal 😃 80s/90s: TVR Griffith/Chimera, Alfa 164, 996 (back to the 964 days!), early Boxster. You could run a 996 daily and troubleshooting that would be great viewing! 90s/00s: Saab 900, Aston DB7/9, Audi S5, BMW 645 Can’t wait for updates!

[@jamesmount3189]

Hi Jack, it was great watching you work on the various cars. As you acknowledged, your channel has evolved more into road tests,which is a shame because KZbin is saturated with them. I wish you every success for the future but, for me, this evolution is beginning to devalue your channel. James

Parting is sweet sorrow but there are times when one needs to part ways. The FERRARI is beautiful and that would be the one for me. Good luck with the sales Jack.

Love all the vids and what ever the plans are I'm with you. Your enthusiasm and knowledge is outstanding and could wach and listen to you talk about paint drying and being entertained. Keep up the amazing work and I love the PJ, s . Man 🎉🎉👍👍🙌

If that 308 was mine, I would never be able to sell it....😢

[@autiomaaelokuva-forsakenla2337]

Maybe you would like Alfa GT 3.2, Brera or even 156 / 147 GTA?

Sad to see the Influenzo go but sometimes head has to rule heart. Golf GTD is one of the best all rounders I’ve had . Racked up nearly 80k miles in mine. I’d be quite happy with just the Elise as a weekend car!

[@CherylCold]

The market is about to plummet. Not selling any of ours. Our Elise is just a lovely little fun box, Golf Country whacky and good for jobs (roof rack and towbar), Integrale evo2 (we bought for 11k so I dont care, could never afford one now), Golf GTI mk5 5-door bog standard still like a new car. Would be nice to see a channel who visits people with cool cars and has a bit of story. Rock up with a Fiat Dino and have a coffee and a chat. Just a thought.

So glad to see the 308 going specially as I suggested you didn't buy it in the first place. I must say I have thoroughly enjoyed your journey with it and could forsee most of the nightmares it brought you. Even tried to help you find new /used heads here in Italy. You mentioned getting a Pantera, a great choice, but do consider a Mangusta, possibly rarer but imo far prettier and a fabulous car. If you do I can tell a great story about one, and G.Agostini,back in 1970. Love the cats tail🤣👍🇬🇧✌️

[@Number27]

Unfortunately Mangustas now go for 3-400k!!! So can’t afford one. Will be filming one in next few weeks though!

[@WayneNeale-m2j]

Sorry to see the 308 going a real Ferrari, May I suggest a daily driver I think my favorited all rounder would be a Audi S3 hatchback or if the budget aloud RS3 Sportback/Hatchback both great fun very practical and a cut above the VW Golf.

Get yourself a Mercedes E350cdi Coupe. Brilliant car. Late 2011 onwards with the straight DRL lights are 265bhp. Brilliant comfortable mile muncher V6 Diesel. Search for cars with Harmon Kardon as they tend to have lots of extras.

Was going to suggest a golf, but you suggested 2 generations newer 👌🏻👍

[@donalmilmo-penny3085]

The reviews are great Jack. Interesting cars and well researched giving insight lacking in many KZbin channels. At the same time it was the Influenzo that got me and many others watching. The struggle to get to the bottom of it was compelling... a bit like project Binky it was compulsive viewing. Doing a Panthara in a similar way might just provide a balance to cater for all audiences! Best of luck moving forward.

[@Vinttro]

You need another Italian classic to keep the momentum going, if you sell the Infuenzo 🙌🏼

[@mattscars]

Good luck with the fleet changes and for what it is worth I agree used car, especially inflated modern classics from covid are on the slide. I've also got "out" of all but 1 and feel relieved.

[@richierich9761]

Have to say as a sensible but slightly fun daily the Golf GTD is probably a really good choice or the Skoda VRS option if you want a bigger boot . Good luck with the sales

[@MrCaterhamr500]

Both dull as dishwater.
