So U.S. carmarades can have documented, hand sheered, hand knitted, Nurburgring alpaca wool hoodie at what tier level?! I saw my first road going E-tron today....it had side mirrors...WTf?!
How long do we think the yaris engine will last this time ?
Poor GT86
Misha, please, could you ask if the subframes of the GR yaris seats are recaro ones? Tell us the trade mark if They aren t . Thanks
Micha a small side question. What type nr of impact gun do you use to remove the wheel nuts. I briefly saw a bosh battery powered impact gun....
Quattro season... again.
I can't understand the other part used in the "hybrid" seat set-up. Vishers? And Recaro, obviously. Can you clarify what the name (assuming it's a brand) of the other piece was?
RIMAC ON NURBURGRINGGGGGG
Watching this on 7th as it was my birthday on 6th and I was out. It also snowed! Whereas, on good Friday it was 16-17 degrees C.
Is the Polestar 2 an influencer loaner or a more permanent daily driver?
R.I.P Sabine! :(
It's been crazy here in Norway as wwell, we had 20 degrees during the easter, but now it's back below zero.
Lift the car/take the wheel off... if you don’t have the one you need to do the other 😉
9:36 George playing game called "follow footsteps or die" or something like that.....
Funny here in the Netherlands (north west of country) only some hail. But yeah that artic north wind blew really cold weather into Europe the last half a week.
Car modifier calls engineers who designed and built the Yaris gr (rally car) crap.......
Even when George is laughing he still sounds grumpy ! 😂

That Chevy could use a snow plow, maybe?
I hate the S word. Snow. And Misha when u see a clear path jump in there. When u keep walking in the snow back and forth it’s harder to clear it. Just some snow tips from Canada 🇨🇦!! How and where do sign up to the secret cult?? I always need more of this!! 👍✌️😁
As a Canadian, I can't help but laugh at your "snow". Keep up the good work Misha!

And the rest of Europe. Snow even reached in Bulgaria, and that is almost Greece. Best was to be in Spain, nice and warm.
How wide are the Polestar wheel? 8? 8.5 ?

Snow laps never get old
Hmm need to use flex and need help someone who can weld like a pro then your seat height is fixed ... maybe!?
Which brand are those seat base frames?
i thought the weather was weird when you shot the 4 seasons in 1 day video, pretty crazy, now here in Eindhoven we had 2 days like that now... temperatures dont go to freezing point here so the snow is away quick but still kinda amazing
It's too bad YT is messing with your algorithm. Love the video, just debating at what level join at. Would love to do the Pancakes, but I'd have to give it away. Maybe it can be done as a giveaway to special members close by?
Love the variety in this video.

Thank you! Enjoy!!!
GR Seat height. They are lifted 90mm, so there is room for rear seat passengers feet.
I totally agree with the weather - same thing in Poland.
PLEASE do a feature on that F80 GT4 conversion at 2:40. PLEASE!!!

I imagine the seat mount height is because Toyota recycled parts from other seat bases and the sum of the parts didn't add up to a suitable seat height driving position so they just stuck a chunk of metal to the frame.
Akio Toyoda was quoted (and I can't find the source right now) that the reason the seat is so high is that professional WRC drivers sit as high as possible to get the best forward view, so the seat height makes it more rally-like. Obviously you couldn't sell a production car with one seat up, and the other on the floor, so I guess they set the driver one then matched it for the passenger.
Foodshot 3/10
It’s been snowing in the UK today too.
Croatia also got snow, yesterday it was 18° lmaooo
It snowed here in montana today too. usually would be out drifting with my b6 s4. But alas audi v8's are shit, and my beloved bertha needs 30 hours of surgery for life again.... she is ded.. time for volvo?
Next time Print a Message with your footprints in the snow! Some Sort of "Easteregg" . 😁😄
It is what it is 😂👍 Tomorrow we go to the ice cream parlor with shorts and a convertible. The weather is so fucking 💩. ✌☺🥃
15mm lower then original...is this small amount noticeable? When I drove the GR; I was thinking the seat needed to be lower 30-40mm to be perfect for my size (1.82m).

I think I confused cm
First of all, Misha, let me tell you, that I enjoy your channel a lot and watch every video. That being said I think with all due respect it seems a bit strange, that there was one video, that didn't show up in peoples newsfeed and also a car friday one, which there are a ton of on other channels aswell and at the same time a video that will always pop up, if some one were to search car Friday 2021 or something... So what I'm getting at is that it seems like you wanted to launch that subscription package thing anyway and were looking to justify that by hiding one of your videos. I wanna clarify, that I don't know of this is possible, nor do I accuse you of doing so, it's just something, that crossed my mind, when you immediately had this solution, after you ranted a whole day about one video not being displayed as usual and everything going back to normal the very next day.

@Misha Charoudin okay that I didn't know. Just seemed a bit odd from the outside, because I thought nobody would have had a problem, if you introduced the membership thing for no other reason than to support the immense amount of work you put into your videos and channel.

People have been telling me that they don't get notifications for a while now. So have I been thinking about this idea before? Absolutely. That day was the last straw and made me go out and proceed with it.
Misha do you get all the membership fees or is it shared with youtube?

AR-1's tend to run wide, as in a 265 is more like a 275. We got the new Nankang CR-1 over here in the USA and they are similar. I went with square 245's on an S2000 cuz they're more like 255's, and I wanted to avoid rolling the fenders (though I had to roll the left front due to rubbing).
Hier ook sneeuw gehad vandaag. De alpaca's op de juiste plek van de Nordschleife!
Truck looks good in the snow

When I went von Venlo to Bochum today I had like 4 changes of the weather just on my way. A range of snow, hail, rain, and sun. Really "exciting" today. Great Video! A lot of updates.

GOOD Morning Misha.. (6am NZ) time for my shit, shower & shave, have some brekky and off to Work. LoL ..Jack Frost visited & dropped a load of Snow on th'Ring overnight hey? Brrrrr 🥶🥶 NiCE Recaro driving seats bro, Yaris is lookin Shmick! 👍😎👍 Great content on the Cupra & the Polestar.. "Damn friggin strait" says George while scrapping off the snow..heh heh 😄 Yeh bro betta give him a hand wid the snow😁 LOVE Ya Work 💕 Godbless ava Gday 🙂
Evening Misha definitely a mixture of odd weather patterns. Nice gesture of putting the names of the members on screen.
the Alpaca scene is the best part. : D
Plausible reason for the high seat position: airbags. The mount towers are exactly the same as in the normal Yaris. Dash (steering wheel) position vs the OEM seat position is also the same as the normal Yaris. The only thing different is the volume of the curtain airbags, due to the lower roofline. So, in the end: it's a cost-thing on this low-volume car.
yep, starting snowing again here in Norway too. We're on the south west coast of Norway, so snowy winters isn't actually normal here, especially not in friggin' April....
Did you need to send the drunk weather to the Netherlands? 🤔
Bei den Alpakas bin ich vom Stuhl gefallen ;)
Somehow I get nervous seeing that GT2 RS parked under the lifted car. If something brakes both cars will be ruined.
Global warming... a nice blanket to keep the earth warm ... :)
Here we are and it is still snowing 🙈. Oh Eifel...

Apex should get some rc cars to race round the car park when you cant go on the ring :-)
I had actually changed my winter tires to summer tires about 2 weeks ago, but had to change them back to winter tires this weekend. I am glad I did, wasn't expect this kind of weather anymore but we had similar weather in the Netherlands.
Same here in good old Schweizerland. April macht was er will.
snow happens.
It was 24c in England last Tuesday and today it snowed at 1c... same location! How!!!
The day you put semi-slick on Polestar 2, and weather belike "Nope!".

HEY!!!! We got about 4 inches of snow last night!!!! & its still snowing!!! Germany & Wyoming must be connected in some weathery singularity.

Let's see that Polestar stretch gaanng
Just some rain for me, no snow. It's a sad sad situation for me rn. I could do with some snow ngl. Enough about me. Enjoyed the vlog my carmrade.
We have the same weather in Stockholm, we call it April weather.

Well. I don’t know about crazy weather. When I was stationed in Germany I changed my winter tires out till may. Then slapped them back on late October. O to O as some Germans mights say. Great videos and enjoy the weather 😂
15mm lower, sure not cm? That's not make a big difference.

@Misha Charoudin Sounds much better :) When I changed the 964 to recaro PPs you could feel the car under your butt, but I still have to pull out the cushions to fit "just" in with a helmet. Luckily we both didn't have to wear one when we made an instruction lap together in 2019.
