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! 😅

@@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.

[@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...

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.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

Pistachio's a little nut.

[@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!

[@polygamous1]

I would definitely 100% agree with you Jack keeping the Lotus a sports car is for driving pleasures and as such there is No better car than the lotus well done mate

[@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.

[@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

[@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..

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@martinda7446]

[@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.

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 👍

[@Number27]

Thanks chap!! Not even had time to fit them yet. Will do once these cars are gone!

[@jacobfoster6773]

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

[@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.

[@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!

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 :)

[@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!

[@andrewfwallace4582]

Jack I am so happy for you selling your lovely cars and hope you manage to sell them soon , your car reviews have all been great to watch and really enjoyable, hope you buy a nice car you like, I would suggest a Fiat Samantha Vignale, or Lancia Beta Gamma coupe, for the classic and VW Beetle Dune convertible for a daily with a difference, maybe a review of some new cars would be good, old to new format, MK1 Golf then a MK 8 for example.

[@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!

[@James-ld2jc]

As a daily driver, a SEAT Toledo V5 (20 valve) would be good - I have one. Wonderful sonorous and torquey engine in a very low-key bodyshell. Good luck finding one!

[@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.

I take your point, but think the younger generation don't have the appreciation of history or manual cars. Like Model T's - a hard sell with a declining group of people interested in them.

The Elise is the one to keep even tho it's a story car.......I think prices are not plummeting but getting a bit more sensible a cooling in the market but you are defo right in selling the 308 we will all miss her it was what got me into your channel buying a Ferrari in lockdown blind on the internet made for good viewing.

Bring on the future Jack. Freshen the fleet up and bring us more ' forgotten car ' reviews👍

Bentleys don’t die, they just run out of people prepared to throw money at them…ditto the 308 Fezza…every one loves a bit of French…la vida lusso…

Daily, all weather, comfort, practicality, reliability... A Q car... A Subaru Legacy Estate Spec B (Flat 6 3.0L) Or a stock WRX Wagon...

I agree with you that the value of classic cars is about to plummet.

[@simonw8626]

How about a fn2 type R as a replacement for pug still affordable for a good one be interested on your views on it

[@murrieteacher]

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.

Noooo... not the Influenzo Jack! I love your videos when you're fixing it. Well c'est la vie and I hope you get a good price for it as you've practically rebuilt it lol. I never miss a post , keep 'em coming owd son!

[@drew699]

Looks like the Elise is a keeper. Huge heart from such a small, simple, clever, very lightweight & profoundly innovative little car & dare I say a far better driving experience in many respects than even an exalted brand like Fezza can offer. Enjoy the stable replacements, whatever they turn out to be.

It's a sad day, Jack, but you need to do what's best for you. I must admit, it was the Influenzo that made me start watching, but I will continue to support your channel. Buona fortuna with all three sales 👍🇦🇺
