Here's my attempt at listing any car related media - TV shows, films, youtube channels etc. There are a few lists out there for 'Top 10 / Top 20 car chase movies' and the like, but not a concise list for the avid car lover. Will add more details per listing and new things are created. Please feel free to reply with additions, i'll paste them in so that there is one concise list to always see. The idea is that any content that heavily features / revolves around cars, is in this list, so you never get bored
Great for those times when you want to watch something car related / think you are missing out on something. The list is a bit disordered while i do the initial listing, so please bear with. I will also be adding relevant links + other info etc where available.
In Category order of Films, TV Shows, Youtube Channels, then listed in numericalpha ascending order (films with 'The' as the leading word of the title will be listed based on the word following 'the' i.e 'The Driver' is listed under 'D' not 'T').
