Default JayEmm on Cars - reviews Audi Heritage Cars

A short while back there was a post on here about the JayEmm Youtube channel and his recent review of the S8 D2 that Audi UK let him get his hands on.
Well, for those that are interested (and don't mind his style) and are not already a subscriber to his channel, you may wish to waste some minutes viewing his latest videos of cars from the Audi UK Heritage Collection.
At the moment his latest videos focus on race cars but he may review something else in the near future that is of interest.

I'll put some links to his latest Audi videos and a few old links to:

The aforementioned S8 D2 review already noted on this forum:

Older:
I Drive The Mythical Audi A2 3L - The REAL 100 MPG car!

There's more Audis on his channel but I'll let you do the searching should you be so inclined.

By coincidence, just watched the one about the A4 earlier today. That's what probably started my love of Audis, that, and having bought a brand new one in May '95. Admittedly, it was only my second car as well as being my first 'new' car, but it was an absolute catastrophe of a car. I spent 10 months arguing with the dealer and then had to get Audi UK involved... never dampened my desire for them.

I'll have a look later, but is this the bearded bloke with the weird fetish for 60's micro cars, who has driven the NSU RO80, and Audi F103 estate amongst others?
I tolerate his "style" for the unique content he brings!

My first Audi was a '97 A4 too. Look what that started...

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
