Revive My Ride

30/12/2025

REVIVE MY RIDE Est 2017! Earlier this month, Revive My Ride celebrated it's 8th Birthday!
I loaded up my first video December 10th 2017. In it, my presentation style was so wooden, Pinocchio was jealous! 😂 Everyone has to start somewhere.
If you want to see my first video, comment below and I'll post it up her on FB. It's a bit embarrassing, so I'm not going to give this up easily so I'll need 20 comments of "HECK YEAH!" in the comments or you can forget it!
In the mean time, here's some stats for you: My videos have had 7.8M views in total so far, that's 333,000 watch hours and I currently have 31,000 subscribers
A Genuine BIG THANK YOU to all of my subscribers and everyone who has ever commented on one of my videos or given me a thumbs up. Every one of those small actions has contributed to getting the channel where it is today.
BYE for now...

You may have heard of a Ford XR3 but did you know this boring fact about them? (See video for the boring fact!) Funny how old cars can bring such joy just because of the unique experience that they give you. Today I had a run out in Matthew's 1981 Ford XR3 that he restored himself and saved from the scrapyard. According to "How Many Left" there are now ONLY 170 left of the XR3 version of the mk3 ford es**rt. On the drive to The Motorist (car cafe) today, he unleashed the full 96 horsepower from the venerable 1.6L CVH engine and the classic cassettes were in full swing!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of my friends on Youtube! Sorry that I have been quiet for the last 6 months, I've been moving house and building a new garage so that I can continue with my content creation!
Coming up in the New Year:
- My 1975 Porsche 914 restoration will be back on and ticking along in the background.
- Karen's 2022 BMW M135i engine rebuild will continue...
- Plenty of Car DIY's will be coming your way too!

Best wishes to you all for a happy New Year!

I’ve moved to a new house that needs to be fully refurbished. As part of this project, a large rear extension is being built and you guessed it, this means a lot more space for working on cars. 🚗
The integrated double garage is being extended out the rear to create a quadruple garage, complete with a vaulted ceiling for lifting height! 🔥
Check it out here! Thoughts on it in the comments please! 😜

Sorry there hasn’t been much YouTube content recently. Karen and I have been busy moving house! Plus, the new house is a full refurb job and we’re DIYing most of it. But the end result will be a much bigger working space for Revive My Ride. If any of you have noticed, I’ve been really struggling for space during the M135i engine rebuild project series. L1nk in comments if you have missed seeing it!

That's the TVR Griffith Mot'd and back on the road for the summer! I only did about 150 miles in this car between MOT's so will try to do better this year! With the E class gone, the TVR is officially the 2nd car when Karen needs to use the M135i, so it should get a bit more use. Now, just need the sun to shine a little more!

Lando Norris arrived at the Suzuka GP in a modified (by Liberty Walk and monster energy) R32 Skyline! The guy has taste! Check out the vid, it's pretty awesome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk1ANYx1w64&t=51s

Trying to wok out the correct main bearing spec for the replacement engine crank on the B48 M135i engine rebuild project! It's a combo of the code stamped into the block & the code engraved into the crank. Get it wrong and it's BOOM time!

Hi folks! The engine strip down and rebuild on my flood damaged BMW M135i is proving to be even more challenging than I expected! Latest video is out and continues the trend of a high level of technical detail and showing everything! If this sounds like your sort of bag, then check it out, you won’t be disappointed!
