[jamesatwood]

Please keep going with this. This is the best video explainer I've ever seen in my entire life. and you're gonna do the entire car!??? Amazing.

The level of detail you went into is perfect, you left nothing out, on just a bare block!. This is what car nerds want, you're gonna have every nerd subscribed in no time if you keep this up!. Beginner or experienced, everyones loves this much detail. I knew 99% of what you said, but I was hooked cause the camera quality is great, your explanations and voice are spot on, it's super refreshing!

Love the relaxed, organic style of this - weirdly, I actually like the fact that you haven't written an exact script and so have the occasional "um"and "err" in there: for me, it makes it much more informal and therefore a lot easier to watch - I concentrate and learn more from what you're saying, because it sounds like you're just plucking the information out of the air.

This looks like a great video series. I understand now, completely, why there's a subscription fee. Excellent stuff

[thorhbar]

Just awesome. No youtube glitz and glamour just straight forward explanation in a clear and concise way. Subbed.

[Xzibit]

Damn I just found your channel through recommended, I wish you would upload more, I've been wanting to properly find out/learn about car engines/how cars work in general, and your video style is exactly what I was looking for.

[danielkraut]

Wow, finally a video is released! I loved the depth of explanations and comparisons between this one, old and modern versions of engines. The speaker is great. Keep up the great work, cannot wait for the next one!

[-NOGOODRACING-]

Great video for people that are new into cars and high-performance enthusiasts, no crazy music, exaggerated voice, just clean and informative, plain simple and straight forward information!

[ahmedmahay]

You had me mesmerized with the beauty of this engineering marvel.

[SuitOne]

I subscribed halfway because of the excellent information, halfway because of the information delivery, and another halfway because you never asked me to.

[jaminoz]

Probably the best car channel you’ll ever come across? Amazing details! Thank you !

[ucakpan]

Keep it up, sir. As a buyer of the course and a subscriber here, I just want to say the whole howacarworks.com project is a labour of love. I'm learning, and carrying the new ideas and concepts into my own wrenching. This is a fantastic course for anyone who desires to pick up a lot of the fine basic (and advanced) details, as well as stark beginners on their way to mastery. Two thumbs up.

[gordonferrar]

Love the way he delivers information. So clear and concise.

[exedracs]

I paid for this course when they were just starting out and I have to say i'm extremely impressed. Every video is very detailed and well produced; easy to follow along and he has a somewhat calming voice which is a plus.
I highly suggest paying for the video course if you're interested. Well worth the money in my opinion.
Videos are also uploaded in 4K which is really great for those that use it.

Greetings, Mr. Alex Muir,

I am Divyansh Sharma, and I love your video course. I’m a man who wants to learn about cars and spend my life with them, and this video course is really, for me at least, the bridge to a life of automotive excitement. I love how you go into extreme detail about everything, and explain it with all your heart. It’s really helpful for car enthusiasts like me, who want to go into cars, but know a fraction of what there is to know before you can pop the hood and get to work. I especially love those little bits of humour you include in the middle, they really brightens things up. I admire how you really know what you’re doing, which gives me, and I’m pretty sure everyone else, confidence, that we won’t screw things up when we try to do something as little as change the oil.

Since I love your course so much, I ask (in the best way possible): When can I get to see the rest of it? You explaining gearboxes, differentials, and with your amazing 3d graphics, the braking system, the power steering, and suspension. I really admire what you’re doing, which is why I’m so excited to see the rest of your magic. Thank you so much for taking time to read this, and I hope you’ll get back to me soon.

Regards,
Divyansh Sharma

This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Just getting into cars; I literally know nothing. YouTube is filled with crappy content and poor explanations that have left me feeling like I know less than when I started the video. So THANK YOU for putting in the time/effort to detail everything impeccably!!
