I was really really hoping this wouldn’t be an April fools joke
And it involves a special bunny... on the verge of Easter. Geniuses.
Yea
@@pier-lucgaranddion1527 the key of rocket bunny body kits products does still exist. To this day.
The "Gentleman's agreement" skit had me in fkn stitches, hilarious. I had no clue that car manufacturers had such a thing. Being a bike guy myself it instantly reminded me of the "agreement" of the big 4 of motorcycle industry after Hayabusa dropped.
Forrealss 😂😂😂
LOL SETTLE SETTLLE
9:48- 11:48 had me in tears. Isuzu's first line was the catalyst. I'm now in pain. I needed that. Thank you Donut!
As an Isuzu owner I just want to say I'm happy to be included
Subaru owners: am I a joke to you
@@alliwanttosayis2144 Daihatsu : Us too
Hahaha we are Finnaly included 😂
@@kaitospence18 daihatsu is toyota
Mitsubishi deserves the position.
So happy to be wrong that Donut was teasing new Up To Speed episodes to prank us on April Fools Day
Me too 🙃
that would be way too mean of an April Fools joke
@@Donut JAAAAAMMEEESSSSS thank you SO MUCH for bringing UTS back!!!!
@@Donut up to speed on the Oldsmobile cutlass????
Yoooo Ryan Hailey on the EDIT! Great job as always, I'm loving all this Donut content.
i was so shocked when i saw him and then to hear his voice..... I was blown away!!!!
When you know Ryan Hailey you can see how much of him is in the edit of this video, not just his style of editing, it includes putting his own face and voice in this video all over the place.
I heard his voice dubbing the Japanese and I immediately said “wtf is that Ryan?!” It is a very distinct Ryan Hailey edit 😂
This is a FunHaus video and I won't be convinced otherwise. Wait. If Ryan is in the Donut Media Cinematic Universe (DMCU)... And Donut still exists... Then FunHaus is still alive!
when he said: "this is everything you need to know to get up to speed on..." i felt the void in my heart just get filled with happiness
Same. I was ready to run through a wall
@@MrKB087 😂😂😂😂
I cannot begin to explain the smile on my face when I heard the up to speed theme
Void filled!
My jaw dropped when you were able to get the man himself on a video call. Crazy he's been using CAD longer than I've been alive!
@Bob Ross im pretty sure this is an april fools joke
@@danielthehuman4662 Who invented CAD? Pierre Bézier The invention of the 3D CAD/CAM is attributed to French engineer Pierre Bézier (Arts et Métiers ParisTech, Renault). Between 1966 and 1968, after his mathematical work concerning surfaces, he developed UNISURF to ease the design of parts and tools for the automotive industry.
@Bob Ross GPUs exist since the 90s bro. My father was working on CAD since i was born. The first thing i learned on a computer was CAD and Paint., on a windows 98 custom PC. CAD only draws lines in 3D space, if you dont need to render ur designs and you just need them for blueprints, you dont need a GPU anyway.
@Bob Ross My dad used CAD in 1995 when it was still called AutoCAD on a 100 Mhz Pentium with 4 MB of RAM, seeing him work in what seemed to be a professional version of MS Paint was fascinating for me as a kid. I should have paid attention to what he was doing at the time, I would have been rich by now.
@Bob Ross see u say that but the industeral exhaust pipe benders at my work run the software program on windows 98 infact everything there runs on windows 98 xD if we lose power we lose every single line of coded text for the programs accross the entire factory but hey it still works tho right xD
Dude, this episode rocked, you rock, the donut team rocks !!! Thanks for all 😘
What an awesome video/documentary. Love the history lesson on why 90’s Japanese cars are so amazing and lend them selves to being tuned so wonderfully. Just an excellent video Donut crew!
im crying at the gentleman’s agreement animation 😂😂😂 They deserve a show of themselves
Mo powuh baybuh
I don’t care I’m taking this as canon for what really happened in that meeting!
Once izuzu came on i was 💀😂
I feel like Mazda was spot-on
James Pumphrey: This is everything you need to know to get Up To Speed... Me: You're as beautiful as the day I lost you.
He is so cool!
...stuff my dad would say if he came back.
Is that the annoying af fatass commentator?
That carports ad was amazing 👏
They need bring back Up to Speed, Car customization videos, mazda upgrades videos and some other old formats that actually what makes donut channel special
That Japanese Auto Meeting bit should win an award.
Mo powah babeh!
Isuzu had me wheezing.
MOPOWAHBABEH! >=[
facts
@@TopCarsTV SETTLE!! settle... settolllllllllllll
Isuzu: “I think... it’s really nice... that you guys invited me.” I NEARLY PISSED MYSELF 🤣🤣
No you didnt
And all isuzu does is make bikes n trucks
Thanks for inviting him he was sooooooooooooooooooo happy to be there.
"It's like...the best day of my life" lost it 😂😂😂
This guy is like that Isuzu rep in the video
I watched every second of this episode and enjoyed it thoroughly, this is the first time I've heard of him or Rocket Bunny, but I'm sure I've seen one or two of his creations and they are ABSOLUTELY AHHHH-MAZING Thanks for this awesome expose' of him, it was very VERY RAD !!!!!
That might be the best demonstration of the Japanese car manufacturers' gentleman's agreement I've seen in video form. Cheers man!
One day when I'm fortunate enough to visit Disneyland Tokyo, I'll slap a Pandem sticker to the Cinderella ride to pay tribute to Miura-san

Starting to feel the same way about Salty Cracker.
Great job, excellent delivery, editing was too notch and the length was good! Welcome back
I love the up to speed series. Very well done guys
The gentleman’s agreement animation was awesome
moh powah babeh!!
Woah, woah, there, settle down. 😆
I lost my shit with Isuzu
Yes! Haha
I’m just glad to be here

This has been sitting at the top of my suggested video feed for the longest time. And I can honestly say YT did me a solid. The episode was absolutely brilliant.
I've been watching the channel for a little while and this longer format video made me subscribe . So yes, please keep them coming !
I’m so stoked, when James says “up to SPEEEED” it’s the same feeling of captain America saying “avengers assemble” in end game
Yes I can honestly agree
Can't stop staring at that see-through Parrot on Jame's shirt.
I hate you for that 😂

Love you guys did this. I actually got the 7th s13 kit imported to the states it's labeled 007 inside the bumpers and flares. And I've still got it. Great piece of history!
The car company meeting is the best thing I've seen in a long time.
For REAL
still laughing
Mow powah baebae !!!!
the isuzu bit got me in stitches
Subaru wasn't invited, damn
James father is very proud of him because he’s finally done a up to speed
I like your pfp
@@mopar_randy4952 You both are a man of culture

@@dravenator0545 Another man of culture
I thought this was the last time I would see something like your pfp
I used to want to be a automobile designer... and for a time I got to messing around with the idea of making body kits. To begin with I was drawing the whole car but later I got the idea to take a photo of the car and slice off all the parts I wanted to change and essentially tried to draw it in "the right way" this is making me reconsider this hobby and possibly take it up as a real business.
This guys designs and ideas inspire me so much he truly is the GOAT of the car scene
My eyes have been blessed with James' presance
Ya
The Japanese automakers meeting was one of the funniest things I have ever seen
MOH POWAH
Facts, i was dyingggg
Isuzu is happy
Isuzu tho... xD
Honda: No more cars over 276hp Mazda: TF you talking about Isuzu: I just wanna say Me: I can’t breathe 😂🤣😜
One of my all time favorite uptospeed episodes ❤️
I really like these videos! Thanks for making such entertaining content.
Donut your guys' quality of editing and film is higher then cable. Y'all absolutely KILLING IT.
And DAMNNNNN that c8 kit looks SICK.
By boy Ryan does great work!
@@Creddz69 was gonna say the same thing, it's got that Ryan flair 😂
They do a great job and it's not like it's a few guys sitting around in the garage who decided to make videos. They went to arts school for this s***.
Your comment is visible before I click on comments
I love how Isuzu was just there eating ice cream and happy he was included in the meeting😂😂 also it’s awesome we finally got some new up to speeds
yeah this really is the best up to speed episode yet
Thanks for making this awesome tribute to a truly legendary artist. All jokes aside, you love that boss kit don't ya? I swear you almost teared up bro. It's okay. I did too.
That japanese automaker meeting is top-notch content, god damn
Ikr🤣
Its exactly how it happened in real life.
Mazda is soo angry lol
Tell me why I could envision mazdas face lol
If Scotty Kilmer had cameo’d as Toyota, I would’ve died 💀
The car companies talking like south park canadians is literally the best thing I've seen last year and this year lol
“Seriously you guys this is....” 😂😂😂
*Companies*, but yes, I noticed the similarity myself
@@busterstation there is that better after working all day and 5 shots of vodka wasn't paying much attention to what I was typing lmao
I feel like James had so much fun recording the voice overs.
@@metaloverdose I bet would be hilarious
I hear you Ryan Hailey. Banger editing from you and whoever else worked on the vid too
Love your vids keep up with the good work
To quote the great Bart... “It was called a gentleman’s agreement, and it was ignored by everybody pretty quickly.”

I'm loving all the editing on this. Especially the board meeting was outstanding
Thanks James, you made my day today as I have to go to school today. thanks and keep it up.

Ryan Hailey of Ryan's Shorts may be responsible for some of that editing magic. He's done great editing for Funhaus for a while.
That's because of my boy Ryan!
I LOVE THESE TYPE OF VIDEOS. IT'S LIKE WATCHING A NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY. WELL-RESEARCHED AND ENTERTAINING.
I love the backstory behind this. It deserves a documentary Also I love the little meeting sketch and Mazda

First off like the longer video, I am able to just listen while I work or do other activities , Love the personification during that gentleman’s agreement 😂 and also learning more history behind some of my most favorite aspects of car/transportation design!
The gentleman’s agreement was amazing! Loved it!
When the world needed him the most He returned
When the world needed James the most, HE CAME BACK!
Up to speed on the c10?
I could watch videos with James for days. Very entertaining
Very good episode, thank you for the hard work 🙏
I can die happy knowing that Up to Speed has returned in all its glory.
You’re dying?

Best episode..HANDS DOWN🙌🏾
This is easily my favorite episode so far. 😄
He was gone, but now when the world needed him the most... He returned, and stronger than ever
Me looks more trim
LMFAO Isuzu being wholesome is a great touch.
you guys make me laugh so loud. Thank you pump, and editors!!!!!!
Really great job. Excellent work I really enjoyed this content thanks

Same.
That whole segment was gg.
They didn’t invite Mitsubishi or Subaru though :(
@@johntruitt7433 They probably were invited. Started arguing the moment they met each other at the parking lot though.
Had me cracking up 😂
This got on trending and hit 1 million views in under 2 days. Really shows you how much we wanted Up to speed back
Shows how much Rocket Bunny is actually beloved in the world. The kits are crazy
You're PHAT. Stay fresh and keep the hits coming. Long live @rocketbunny!
Keep it coming 💯 Rockin Roll
James’ enthusiasm from the first up to speed to now is just insane
So glad the doctor allowed James to scream his voicebox out for our single-use entertainment again 😊😊
He's dying for us... Is James the next Jesus?
love videos like this , lots of information
i am happy to see this channel can inform me about my jdm passion like nobody
Seeing Ryan Hailey in a Donut video is like seeing your old friend from elementary school again after he moved away in the 4th grade.
He's also in funhaus quite often. Great guy
we need more funhaus x donut collabs!
I was surprised he didn't get a shout out
who is Ryan Hailey?
Yeah i was like wtf I know that voice but I’m on the wrong channel.
Ok this Ryan guy who did the editing needs to be made a full-time editor at donut.
Checkout Funhau... I mean his channel, Ryan’s Shorts
@@nonesuchone I know, it's where everyone should know him from, and yeah that other channel he works for.
I had no idea Ryan was editing for donut. The lore of Ryan just keeps getting better!
OMG it really is red state ryan!!!! I thought it sounded like him.
A wild red state ryan appears! :D
This was a great episode. I enjoyed it very much. I liked that it was longer and told a story.
I had an AE86 with a tri-Y header and later upgraded to a Mustang with actual HP but always missed the handling of my little car. Those kits are sick
What a return. Ryan's chaotic good editing, rocket bunny, and all this on april fools but it's not a joke, what a world.
Hold up, does ryan edit for both Donut and Funhaus I guess?
As soon as he started Talking i Was like Wait..... i know that voice lol What are you doing here Ryan? lol
when did ryan start editing for donut??
For me its april 2nd
