What is really mind-blowing about this video is that MCM actually filmed ALL these tips - over 250 of them - over an 11 year period. Over a decade's worth of knowledge in one master video. Bravo, guys. If this doesn't deserve a slow-clap then nothing does.

Wow! Loving the blasts from the past. With you all the way, thanks for so much mega content.
Admittedly my first mcm video in a long time 😅 still will always be one of my most favorite car channels the borrowing cars through the outback series is the best thing on youtube

Best tip ever, when waiting to turn in front of oncoming traffic to turn into an intersection or driveway ect, always keep the wheels pointing straight until you actually make the move. This life saving tip should really be taught at school. My hat off to you guys for including this information.
I wonder what the police would say when they see you pumping your mates pressure sprayer whilst driving along mmm,dont look to good guys

@@Ronnaferd Well, at least if your headlights are on the bluish side, otherwise it's kind of a matter of taste. (I actually prefer headlights not to be bluish in the first place: I find them a bit annoying, partly cause they croak my night vision. On aesthetics I always liked that old Euro yellow anyway, (I went out of my way to find fogs in that color, even) but for HID lights I'd probably go with a neutral white.
