Ever wondered what would happen if we took over Top Gear? No? Well we did! In this episode of The Radiator Arms, James, Ant, and Will design the ultimate motoring show we’d love to make – while trying not to get sued by the BBC or Amazon. From absurd car challenges to testing supercars, oddballs and sleepers, even prank segments with unsuspecting parents, we explore how a modern, community-driven car show could look… and ask: “How hard could it be?!”

We also discuss:

• Forgotten car shows we loved (and what they got right)

• The best (and worst) ideas for fresh segments

• Sleepers vs supercars, obscure engine swaps, and the Rage Rover

• Giving young creators a platform and helping the next generation of enthusiasts

• Why YouTube is a real career for aspiring petrolheads

• Why car culture thrives when we share stories and help each other

In this episode of The Radiator Arms, James, Ant, and Will bring it home to talk British cars. From the style and class of the E-Type, Minis, and Rolls-Royces, to the chaos and corrosion of Leyland and TVRs, we explore what really makes a British car British. Is it where it's built, who owns it, or how it makes you feel?

We talk about the cars we want to drive, the ones that broke our hearts, and why the best British cars are often the ones that shouldn’t have worked at all.

In this episode of The Radiator Arms, James, Ant, and Will ask a difficult question: is car culture being ruined from the inside? From antisocial behaviour at meets to ridiculous burble tunes and burnouts in the street, are we giving councils, police, and the public every reason to shut down the very things we love?

We talk about the difference between enthusiasm and ego, where the line is between fun and foolish, and what car culture could look like if we stopped shooting ourselves in the foot — plus the real-world consequences that even the respectful enthusiasts now face.

In this episode of The Radiator Arms, James, Ant, and Will imagine a world where they’re in charge of transport policy. What new laws would they bring in? Who would they fine first? And what crimes would carry a lifetime driving ban?

From petty frustrations to genuinely clever ideas, the trio explore everything from middle-lane hogs to speed bumps, roundabout etiquette, road tax reform, and even some unusual ways to improve the roads (or make them more fun).

In this episode of The Radiator Arms, we get brutally honest about the business side of running a YouTube channel — especially in the car world. James, Ant and Will discuss how creators actually make money, why burnout is so common, and the often-misunderstood role of sponsorships, AdSense, and the algorithm. From personal stories of lost footage and 18-hour days to insider insights on how the system really works, this is the truth about building a channel from scratch — and trying to keep it going.
