Seriously, if you don't respect this man's passion. He's what the car world needs. He been showing that passion in the form of grateful tears without shame. Love you James. You need a TV show.
Zach Childs who tf watches tv?
If he were on a TV show, it would be nothing like this. KZhead provides him with basically total creative freedom. As long as his controversial topics are just car related.
@@taylorjams4845 100% this. Traditional TV as a platform is pretty much as dead as dead can be. Already filled with commercials and will be even more when creators will move towards on-demand services like KZhead or Netflix. It's pretty much the same case as the fossil fuel cars, only thing keeping it afloat is the investors & their (outdated) interests and the massive amount of old money. No reason trying to climb aboard a sinking ship.
Fuck tv
Amen brother
The GT-R’s history is the equivalent to completing a game without making a single mistake.
Hope they don't ruin the legacy by introducing a BMW r36
R33: Laughs in mistake :D
Legit! The R33 GT-R’s will always be my fave Gen! I love the R34 Sedans as well, I’d love one Stateside lol
Edward Chang 33 is literally way better than the 32 lol
@@amaansiddiqui2030 wym i never heard of a brand getting ruined by BMW🤔
dude, either james is a wonderful actor and he deserves all the oscars or he is the most genuine and entertaining person in youtube. PERIOD. His energy is just so awesome and always gets me pumped up with him.
100% the latter

As an R35 AMS modified GTR owner, this video never gets old. I’ve watched it dozens of times.

The sheer enthusiasm from james is what makes each and every second of these videos utterly entertaining. James is not just sitting in a chair and making content for views, hes putting his soul into presenting it.
A car so good it was banned because it won too much.
@j-1 Yep. Mazda only got the chance to win LeMans once because as soon as they won their first title the FIA banned rotary engines from LeMans. What a bunch of arrogant assholes.

Came back to rewatch this legendary episode for the first time in 4 years. 10/10
20:35 he gets emotional and his face turns red.. hats off dude.. you did good
I rewatch this episode, just for this scene
I respect this man on another level
James is such a great guy, when he started crying.... i felt that
1st episode was about the skyline , 100th was about the GTR That’s fucking amazing guys I’m crying this is so good
Donut, I hope you come back and rewatch this masterpiece of an episode. It brings tears to my eyes every single time I watch it. The passion, the drive, the creativity, and the uniqueness is the essence of what Donut has been. And every episode feels so personal. Thank you guys for all you have done for our little community of outcasts
James crying and complementing nolan was so cute, they really like each other

I have watched a ton of these videos and I dont remember this one, I started crying at the end. Those were sincere happy tears and im so happy how successful these videos are. You deserve it.
I'm really glad you decided to redo the GT-R for the big double O, congrats James!
JusT LiKe tHe TAil LiGhts
I'm glad this one got redone. GT-R deserves the excitement.
The fact that you managed to get every car behind you for each era, that just shows the passion you guys have for making these videos. This is like if they got every corvette made for a corvette video. Beautifully executed!
They’re pictures bro
Up to Speed is hands down the best entertaining KZhead series period. Superb job with the editing and the passion of James is unmatched.
damn, ive been hearing James shouting about cars for 100 episodes? damn those buff horses
You have to admit though we love him for it. If it wasn't for Pumfrey there would be no Buff Horses.

100 LIGHTNINGS FOR 100 EPISODES!!!
Congratulations on 100 super entertaining and creative episodes!! Great subject to revisit for your 100th. Your entire team amazes me with your fantastic research and writing, inspired delivery, hilarious intentional mispronunciations, goofy graphics, informative illustrations, and the CORRECT pronunciation of brands like NISSAN and one I learned myself from Jason Camissa and you guys- Lancia! This 52 year old car nut is having a GREAT time watching you and learning all sorts of things I didn't know about cars. And James, I'm so glad you survived that heart attack and lived to appreciate life anew, the empathy and love you demonstrated for your team is years ahead of your age and I know that's because you've seen what really matters and it shows in a good way. Congrats again to you and your amazing team! Donut, donut, donut!
I only started watching Donut a few weeks ago and finally stumbled across this episode. Man the feels were real at the end. you guys are awesome!

When James started to cry I cried too. My favourite KZhead Channel. ❤️ Love to the whole Donut family!
Every time Jimmy gets emotional on this channel, I do too. He's the real deal and he appreciates the viewers like us who tune in every week. I love this show, but I love how Jimmy loves it even more.
He reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson And hes a GOAT Truly passionate about cars
Man I can't describe how much I like this video, the passion put into this it is just overwhelming. Congratulations You are My fav car KZheadr ever!

Love the passion you have, James. Your humour and original style of infotainment makes Donut the best car enthusiast channel on KZhead.

I remembered in the 1st episode, one of the questions he asked was "would you want me to die? And how?". Though even it is a joke, I think that Up to Speed did really turned his life around.

@@fancysap Living, man. For years I was just surviving, but now I think I'm finally living for myself. I just got out of a really unhealthy long-term relationship and still learning to let go and grieve what I went through, what I lost. Taking the time to look after myself and get back to school. Began Driving, after loving cars for so long. 3 years later I'm just doing my best to become a better man, for myself.
Damn, it's great to see a genuinely good person reach success. You deserve it James! - THANK YOU for giving this to us!
I truly love this channel, it's filled with people who truly love what they're doing and it shows. Mo powa babeh
I have learned so much with your channel and I’ve been emotional about cars but nobody to share it with so I left it alone, until My brother in law “Tony” ignited my love for it and seeing you get emotional about cars shows me I’m not the only one. Thank you
Unironically this show taught me to love cars. You're doing God's work James.

You guys are the best of the best honestly a goat channel. You've made some of the best automotive content ever and are hands down 90-100% responsible for who knows how many people's love of cars and knowledge about cars.

I've been here since your early days and you were amazing then and I can't comprehend how far you've all come. I hope you can do another 100 and then some because the automotive scene and the world wouldn't be as good as it is without you guys and people like you
