Congrats JJ on 10k subscribers. Loved the Q&A, some great Q's. Here's a thought: If everyone of your 10.3k subscribers were to send you £3.88 you could buy a Lexus LC500 5.0L V8 that's on Autotrader right now. (isn't that how crowdfunding works?)😂

[@JJonCars]

Haha, if only! 😂 Thanks!

[@nigelbond4056]

Congratulations JJ. Just to let you know I’ve got a CLS 350 Cdi Shooting Brake Premium Plus if ever you want a go.

[@meganjones7505]

I absolutely LOL’d at Backseat JJ living in the back of a car

[@JJonCars]

He knows his place 😂

[@Oli_Hudson]

Congratulations JJ! Some interesting questions and answers there. Thanks for answering mine! Looking forward to seeing an iQ on the channel in the future! Cheers

[@JJonCars]

Thanks Oli and no worries, 🤞hopefully we'll get one on soon 🙂

[@alexvt6733]

Congrats JJ (and backseat JJ of course) and thanks for the amazing content 🥂

[@JJonCars]

Thank you very much Alex! 🥂

[@Hali88]

Well done mate. Backseat JJ merch could be a winner

[@meganjones7505]

I second this 🤣

[@JJonCars]

Thank you, and great idea 😄

[@Iphone-vx3ps]

Congratulations for 10k and if I had to drive 1 car for the rest of my life it would be a mk4 golf

[@JJonCars]

Thank you - and great choice

[@willoffer7119]

Thanks for covering the dream car garage question - it’s a tricky one & for me it changes all the time! One of our 2 cars was on your list funnily enough - XC90 - and I can confirm it is the ultimate family workhorse!!! Great video, loved listening to the Q&A!

[@JJonCars]

Absolutely, it does change all the time 😄 But that's cool, I haven't yet driven an XC90 but I just know that it will do everything anyone would really need of a car. Cheers Will :)

[@asb1439]

Thanks for answering my question about the 1 car you could own for the rest of your life, money being no object. Ash

[@JJonCars]

No problem, it was a good question :)

[@fredonline]

I've been looking forward to the Q&A, well done JJ! This may go over your head, but the jungle (to the side of you), for some very obscure reason, reminded me of Wolfgang from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In - Vairy interesting!

[@JJonCars]

Thanks Fred! Tbh yes, that goes completely over my head! Just looked it up kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYGxdq2NhLyNrqM I can definitely see that plant 😂

[@tommyhartman7920]

Thanks to you both for answering my question! Interesting choice of the 300c! All the best for the new year JJ.

[@JJonCars]

No worries, happy new year Tommy!

[@novicetheaf]

Congratulations on making 10K, will watch this after work 👌

[@JJonCars]

Nice one mate, catch you later

[@constantinegiotopoulos3033]

Warmest congratulations from Greece, I love your reviews, keep it up.

[@JJonCars]

Thank you very much :)

[@Addison276]

Backseat JJ is a legend

[@JJonCars]

I'm not letting him read these comments 😂

[@jamesshephard2013]

Didn't realise you were so close JJ, I'm in Chapel-en-le-Frith. If you fancy reviewing an XF Sportbrake or a Range Rover Sport 5.0 SC let me know.

[@JJonCars]

Oh nice! I lived in Chapel for a couple of years when I was a kid. That would be great, very cool pair of cars - drop me a message on Instagram @jjoncars or email [e-mail] :)

[@Jonathondrinksbeer]

Sorry I missed the live stream, my question would've been " is it true that you have the largest collection of turtle necks in the whole of the high peak?" Well done on the milestone

[@JJonCars]

😂 I can neither confirm nor deny this Cheers Jonathon mate :)

[@markgollan]

Well done on 10K - I had a Nissan Bluebird a while back- cracking car - Mark

[@JJonCars]

Thank you Mark. Glad you agree. I'd say they are underrated but those in the know, know they're great cars :)

[@tonyblount991]

Congratulations JJ great channel 10k brilliant

[@JJonCars]

Cheers Tony!

[@MattysCars]

You really are one of the greats, can’t wait for more videos!

[@JJonCars]

Thanks Matty, thats mega praise from one of the OG KZbin car reviewers! 😊

[@segapc1994]

Great to see you succeed! I do love watching your videos. Strange you're now a celebrity.

[@JJonCars]

Thanks man! You've still got the purple heart next to your name for "received one of the highest numbers of hearts from you" on KZbin studio. Always appreciate the comments. I wouldn't go as far as celebrity though 😂

[@billnage]

Congratulations pal! Perhaps you can buy the Lexus once you go pass the 1mil mark :)

[@JJonCars]

Cheers mate! Good call 😄

[@qc2731]

Congratulations on the milestone JJ. Recently discovered and subscribed to your channel and really enjoy it👊

[@JJonCars]

Barry Shitpeas 😂 I know exactly where that's from 😂 Thanks and thanks for subscribing :)

[@sha22276]

For some reason i knew a Volvo estate would get mentioned in this video. Love the 300c also, but sadly with volvo and 300c ULEZ makes the diesels unaffordable

[@JJonCars]

Volvo estates are just the ultimate all-rounders. Helps that my parents had a succession of them (240s) when I was a kid. Shame really, a lot of cool 00's cars will be lost I think because of the zones.

[@cheungman83]

Hi congratulations, your funny guy I love your sense of humour and how the way you reviews on cars, I just found you when searching on mx5 and came across your review channels which I’ve now subscribed 👍🏼

Keep up the good work! your videos are good. im still driving my e39 530i and also found a 2008 impreza that i love taking on dirt roads and explore. id love your take on some subarus! they are not as refined as the german cars but the handling is nothing like any other car.

[@JJonCars]

Thank you :) I once had an Impreza WRX 'bugeye', fantastic car, would love to get back behind the wheel of one. My uncle has recently bought a E39 535i, I need to ask him if he'll let me do a video with it 😁

[@tolees1757]

Well i am famous now, JJ answered my questions woohooo ! Congrats on 10k !!!!

It was a great question Tolees :) thanks again!

Thank you very much Ross 🙂

[@patcmx]

Congrats on the channel, my first car was an old triumph herald, cost me £200, my brother had a bluebird, they were known as a taxi drivers 'go to' car

[@JJonCars]

Thank you! Yes they were very common as taxis. I remember the first car show I took the Bluebird to, someone was jokingly shouting 'TAXIIII' at me as I drove past 😂

[@sprautos]

well done on the 10k now onto 20!

Thanks mate! :)

[@JJonCars]

Are you the Nidge I know? Either way, cheers! Saab 9-3 Aero is a sweet car

[@Nidge74-hs4cf]

I am one and the same. All the old Nissans are gone, got another Note for the daily and the SAAB for fun 😂

@@Nidge74-hs4cf is it the convertible or saloon? I once upon a time had an Aero saloon :)

[@Nidge74-hs4cf]

Convertible 2.0t

[@Rjhs001]

Great work as usual JJ. Sorry I missed the live event. So, that's two past cars we have in common. The Civic and the Bluebird, but I think my Bluebird was a far more modest model than yours. Congrats on the well deserved success of the channel and I look forward to future vids.

[@JJonCars]

Thanks John! I asked on a community post for people to post some questions - I'm guessing the algorithm was being mean and didn't show it to you :( Oh nice, I really do love the old Blueys, such simple but dependable cars in that perfect boxy shape 😄 Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@mooncat1973]

Congratulation JJ on your milestone and back seat JJ as well. Back in 2021 i bought a new mk4 Octavia VRS. That was all touch screen and i hated it. I thought the anti-collision at the front was dangerous so i got shut of it in 2022 and bought a 2015 Volvo S60 D5 and i really like it. Theres no messing around with it, it just does what its suppose to do. Maybe you might want to do a video on it one day in the summer.

[@JJonCars]

Thank you! Yes, it's the general issue with modern cars! It's why you might notice I tend to review the older stuff 😁 So your Volvo would be a perfect fit for the channel. Perhaps email me ([e-mail]) or Instagram me @jjoncars and we can sort it out in the summer :)

[@richardelson3261]

Enjoy some of your vids (hey I'm fussy). I have a lovely CLK cabriolet. I like classic cars (

[@bamboocarman2335]

Hi JJ and Backseat JJ, thanks for the seriously interesting, engaging and always entertaining videos. You’re doing a great job, and am looking forward to many more reviews in the years to come. Best wishes, BB_CM

[@JJonCars]

Thank you so much! And thanks for watching :)

[@douglasdowns4846]

I had an x-type wagon- the noise from the differential just before it exploded was unreal! Anyway, I live in the US, years ago my uncle brought home a Sterling for might Aunt. To this day I wonder what that car was. Have you seen one lately?

[@JJonCars]

Just had to look Sterling up - that's Rover in the US? We don't see many Rovers about now but there are still at least a few on the roads. Not particularly well loved cars except in enthusiast circles. I quite like them these days

[@Peugeot306]

Did you already visit one of both Caffeine & Machine locations? A petrolhead-must…

[@JJonCars]

I haven't yet, but it's on my to-do list!

[@gaffnaldo1]

I have a beautiful CLS, its exactly how you described. you should review it 😊

[@JJonCars]

Yes please! Email or instagram me? :)

[@emjay1249]

Would be a dope video. C218 or 19?

Looking for info on the CLK I plan to buy as a daily and stumbled upon your channel. Thanks a lot!

[@Peugeot306]

PS the 306 will stay as well 🤣

[@JJonCars]

Excellent! Good luck in your search. You have to keep the 306 forever or your account name won't make sense hehe

[@bck0001]

JJ, I’m enjoying some good scotch and watching your videos here in Texas, they’re great, and your car taste is correct, CLS, X-Type, LC500, etc., all great. I also have a great fondness for smaller older Nissans, joyful motoring of my youth (had an Infiniti G20 aka Nissan Primera, and a first gen Nissan Altima).

[@JJonCars]

Brilliant, thank you! Good to hear someone else has that somewhat specific taste in cars that I have :) Those earlier Primeras are really great cars too.

[@bck0001]

@@JJonCars I found your Primera video after commenting, and noted in the boot the same repair manual I ordered from the UK at the time. I miss that car, sadly they’re virtually never seen here anymore. I sold it after buying a nearly new E46 (I think the Primera was a better car but I’m sure that’s controversial or only shared by me), though it lived on for many years being driven by my supervisor’s children.
