From buying a fire-damaged Porsche 911 straight from a scrapyard to having their humble FTO auctioned up to a ridiculous £150 million on eBay, the lads share the highs, lows, and laugh-out-loud moments of building a YouTube channel around their passion for cars.They open up about what success really means, recently getting to drive their dream cars, and why YouTube can be both brutal and rewarding. Plus, we get the inside story on how Will and Edwin first met and built the bond that fuels TDC today.Top Dead Center:https://www.youtube.com/@TopDeadChttps://www.instagram.com/topdeadc/-Take the guesswork out of vehicle, vessel or machine repair with Jaltest from Eclipse, the No.1 multi-brand diagnostic tool.
