Ariel Motor Company is famous for their Ariel Atom, Ariel Nomad and Ariel Ace, but did you know the Ariel of today actually started 150 years ago? From penny-farthing bikes to iconic motorcycles like the Ariel Red Hunter, Ariel Square Four and Ariel Cyclone, this small British manufacturer set the stage for success but died under poor leadership. Now back from the dead, the Ariel of today makes ultra-low production, ultra-lightweight speed monsters. So hold on to your face and join host James Pumphrey as he gets you Up To Speed on the exciting history of Ariel Motor Company!

DIRT 5 X DONUT
YES
Can’t wait to play!
Hell yeaa
You all got a great cast for that game. James, is an amazing performer. (:
RELEASE IT ALREADY, DAMN IT!
DIRT 5? wtf???? YES PLEASE?
lemme plug in my race wheel hehe
"Great script, Grant! Great edit, Colby!"
Haha
I'm the 100th like!
Fyfyfyfyfyyfyfyfyfyfyfyftfttttftftftfftf
lmao, they pinned my comment! Seriously though, cool video, as expected from Donut.
2:35 “SHOTS FIRED!!!!” James, you really roasted yourself, didn’t you?
me playing Dirt5: hey this is pretty good!
the radio: LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There should be a mod that replaces lightning sound with James screaming LIGHTNING LIGHTNING LIGHTNING
And... Motor sounds replaced with James screaming BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
pop up headlight soundtrack
I would love to hear the co-driver shouting “50 into 5 right, watch out LIGHTNING LIGHTNING LIGHTNING outside, and crest into 6 left...”
Me: Wow, I'm totally interested in this machine!
*$75,000*
[the big sad]
that thing is a steal when you think about it, any other company would sell it for a million
Yeah. Guess I'll stick with buying and making an offroad multicab for the future.
I felt that big sad. You’re not alone.
Ariel Atom V8 which is basically A FCKN GOCART WITH A FREAKIN NATURALLY ASPIRATED V8 IN DA BACK which revs up to 11,000 rpm like an evil sport bike (or just regular street Civic) engine was from 180,000$ to somethin close to 200,000$ (again, for a limited production, non street legal go cart) and now you can barely find one used on sale at their official website for somethin like 150,000$. Love this company, if I ever have 200,000 gran on hands with the intent to spend on something I wish, I definitely call their concierge and order my Atom V8❤️
@@alexanderbabin9061 ah yes the Ariel organ donator
Codemasters: *_Sponsors Donut and talks about DiRT_*
F1 2020: *Am I a joke to you*
Nathan Cheung no it’s not😂 they make the best racing games
@@aaronhunter2301 dirt is kinda a joke but dirt Rallye ain't, still wish they would partner up with someone who are great with tarmac coding
me: Yes
yes all of crapmasters games are a joke
Why what did F1 2020 achieve?
Bruh he didn't even mention the Atom V8. Most brutal thing I've ever seen.
Exactly
It's basically a road legal, two seat F1 car.
Bruh I noticed now they literally used it in the thumbnail
it has two hyabusa engines merged into a V8 #lightnig ⚡⚡
That 3.8L V8 is mean
"MY EPIGLOTTIS IS FULL OF BEES!!!" -Jeremy Clarkson
Dirt5.. great brothers.. congratulations ❤
The comment about "I like you more when you only talked about cars" definitely was something James received in a comment or a message
Thats cause all the animation garbage they do sucks
I'm pretty sure thats not what's being referred to, but I'll go with it. It's all a matter of opinion. They're doing automotive education the way the choose. Some people enjoy it, Some people move past it, and some people complain on the internet instead.
@@jeffjacobs2706 I respect your opinion but you're wrong and 13 kittens died because you're a bad person.

@@jeffjacobs2706 Yeah except the animation stuff rules
Day 171 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad
A'ight I can leave the comments section now
Damn you're actually doing it
Bro, you are the definition of commitment.
@@zujkis2980 repeating the same line on every video?
aye, you're still here XD
I'll be honest, I came here mostly to see if Clarkson was featured in the video
So I'm not the only one
@@michaelkeaton5394 His face getting destroyed by the wind.... *Y E S*
Same.
I feel like a proud dad, I started watching when Up To Speed didn't even have jokes!!!! James was so timid 😂
And now you guys are in a big videogame. Amazing, really proud of you, keep the great work going!!
How come no one's on about that beautiful imagination scene? Like cmon that was Oscar worthy
I loved it.
I imagined Willy wonky running through flowering fields snorting pixie sticks off some oompa loompa booties and those adorable, derpie primary color imagina-turds holding hands with him creating the cosmos. That’s what looking into the eyes of god is like. Any way Mr James Humphrey may I right for you? I specialize in borderline vulgar humor. Thank you. I love you.
Ya that imagination bit was fn hilarious
Hello from BirmingHAM, England! When I was a kid my dad found a 50s’ Ariel VB buried in our back garden. Kinda handy (some say too handy...) as he’s a lifelong Brit bike fan. He dug it up, restored it and still has it running on the road 20 years later. The original (Lucas...) headlight bulb even worked!
I'm not even a motorbike guy, but respect to your dad! The world needs people like him.
What industrial hamlet is it that he mentions?
That's insane bro!
BirmingHAM 😂
A fellow Brummie! Wonder if I've ever seen your dads bike 🤔
Can you guys make a shirt with a turbo between two slices of bread that says:
I’ll take a torquey sandwich.
Thanks, love you, James 😘😘
No joke, I'd buy that the second it went up
Jared Fogel Day Care I second that.
Supa Oranges i third that
InfinitiG 35 I fourth that
@@ellboy3 I Fifth that
The atom was designed and built in my village, I got to drive one off the road as a child. They're the most amazing cars and it's great to see Simon and them getting the recognition.
I still remember Jeremy Clarkson's face ripping through
That was funny and I enjoyed it as well.
Doug as well but it was on the Mono.
Yep me too.
Classic
One does not simply talk about Ariel atom without showing a clip of Jeremy Clarkson
Not even 2 minutes in and I'm laughing at the subtle "Air" joke.
The avatar in the back?
@@TheTAEclub yes lol
James has told me he loves me more times than my parents ever will😔🥺❤️
Hey man don't worry I love you too
Miguel Lirazan Honestly means a lot my guy, I love you too fam
Love you bro
My name is Ariel, it feel like James calling my name... I’m screaming
He calls you? Seriously?
no one will ever say my name :(
Darshawnimeius Hermetheious I’m speechless because I cannot say your name
I know that feel
@@whitetequila6517 rip to you
My name is Jake l m a o
2:25 “hell and back“ , it’s the Florida welcome sign 😂
* 3:20
I live in Cali but when i visited florida for a week i rather live in Miami than this Shitty Cali state
well that's accurate (I live in Florida lol)
This has been one of the best episodes of the year. The writing, the editing, THE DELIVERY. 8/8, m8.
I’m so proud of you and the way this chanel is growing
Hope you’ll have even more sponsors like this
Up to speed on Cadillac!
I wanna see Eldorados and all those big old Detroit boats
They also need to do an Up to Speed on Lincoln.
And good old V8 engine swap stories
There is already one on Lincoln m.czcams.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/video.html
Wait James has his beard back, I don't understand the Donut Media timeline
He's using keeps so it grows longer thicker and faster
@@deo900boy haah right
Naah bro, its pames jumphrey in disguise
Into the Jamesverse coming when?
Keeps, of course haha
Guess this is the first time I'm happy someone dear to me hit the Dirt.
Lame jokes aside I'm just as stoked as you guys! This is only but due acknowledgement to your hard, wholehearted work and dedication to fans - and that speaks volumes. Great job and a brazillion of love and luck from a fan in - you guessed it - Canada!
lol jk, I'm from Brazil.
I discovered your channel fairly recently and am poking through the backlog, and am thoroughly enjoying every minute. Huge congrats on the game, what an awesome accomplishment! I love your sense of humor, delivery, and way of getting all the details to the viewer but in a fun way. Subbed immediately, and yes, I did emerge from a time capsule since I"m commenting on a year old video.

I had a dream last night where James and I had a battle of who could say "MO POWA BABY!" the loudest. I lost :'(
I wouldn't compete with James with anything that requires using your voice. ;)
Rip
Wtf
That is a very sad dream
We did it bois
James beard is back boi
It feels like back 2 the future
Discovered this channel a year ago. Rediscovered a month ago. Pretty much can't stop watching it now.
CONGRATS ON DIRT 5!!! That's actually pretty big! Props!
"Yes, this is an automotive history show" LOL
Love that. Great to learn about this vehicle. I've seen it on other channels but mainly as a review. I love knowing the history and just seeing how things formed.
And great editing as usual.
5:47 "Yes, this is an automotive history show".
I DIED! 🤣
"Lets make a fast car"
Everyone: thats been done.
"I didnt say it was on the road..."
Congrats on the dirt5 contract. Y'all deserve it! Great work!
The 1930s Ariel red hunter also came as a 250cc M/c. In 1967 I bought a basket case 350 with a dead engine, it consisted of frame and wheels plus 2 wheelbarrows of large lumps.I was 16 at the time in the uk you could only ride a 250cc on learner plates. Fortunately one of the lumps was a reconditioned 250 bottom end. I built up a 250 using the 350 head and a 350 cam. I used this bike foe 7 or 8 months then sold it to a friend with instructions that if he sold it I wanted first choice to buy it back,unfortunately he forgot and sold it. It was girder fork front and solid rear with all gauges in the tank together with a fly lead inspection light that doubled as a dash light.I remember the instruction book stated set oil pressure relief valve to be set so that oil pressures does not exceed 20 or 25 PSI. It was also fitted with a twin port head so had 2 exhaust pipes. So long ago wish I still had it. I originally bought it for £5 and sold it for £10. It still exists and is worth in excess of £10,000. You also mentioned the 650 Ariel, the engine was I believe a slightly disguised BSA A 10 engine.
Hearing James say my towns name might be the best thing that’s happened to me this year big love from Crewkerne
Hello from Axminster 👊
I totally forgot Ariel was Crewkerne's greatest export and I went to Maiden Beech for four years in the 90s!
Weyyy yeah, I work in an aerospace engineering company nearby. There's lots of love for Aerial!
3:20 Florida is definitely hell.
As a Floridian, im proud of this joke
There's only 1 season here, blistering heat
I love Ariel. I'm so glad this video was made. Saw somebody driving a Nomad near my house a few days ago
James is such a good host he makes me excited about cars i know nothing about before the actual video even starts
Love the show and ALL of the content. Thanks James and the gang!
Video Idea: I was wondering as a younger driver just getting into an older car without ABS if you could make a video showing off the differences between braking with ABS vs Without and how it can save someones life knowing the difference, especially in a car without airbags. 🍩 ❤️
I remember driving this car in need for speed most wanted, and that feeling of driving it was amazing
Freakin awesome video, I was smiling the whole time. Love talking about bikes in the intro! Also, *LET THE IMAGINATIONS RUN WILD!!!!!* was hilarious. Thanks for lowering my blood pressure.
Day 29 of asking James to do an uptospeed on himself
Paganigaming:oh youre approaching me?
eny margaretha 😂😂😂
5:51 had me rollin 🤣
Also 5:59 incase you didn't catch it:
"yes this is an automotive history video"
Thank you
@@declanbryant8591 no probs 👍
Took me 20 or so tries to pause it to see lol
I couldn't catch it, actually...
You talked about being in DIRT 5 on your podcast and in the moment I wasn't sure if you were serious or not.
I'm so stoked you weren't kidding! Congratulations to James and Nolan 🤘
You always host interesting and super fun videos. Great job, James.
Nice to see you’re back to your old self James!
They may have recorded this one before the latest D-List episode.
The best part was not a single "herse-pers"!!!
Yessss!!! I'm early again, I love this channel especially the up to speed segment
I remember the first video I saw from you guys it was right at the beginning. Now look at you. Feels like I'm part of this.
Thank you James & Donut for making everyday a little more entertaining
thanks for existing James, I love you and hope you keep doing this amazing videos
Hope we can get a up to speed on Donut Media origins and your dad
Having had the fun of being out in a supercharged K20 atom, they are phenomenal machines, they grip like crazy and are silly fast
Seeing a turbo one rip around my local track was sick
Great edit ! Congrats on the DIRT video game. Cheers from Brazil !
Great Script Grant! Great Edit Colby!
(Thanks for letting me know it wasn’t the first model ‘preciate it)
As soon as James said:” i know somebody else that’s getting rid of gas” and point finger. A Harley ads shows up with the electric motorcycle 😂😂
Dang, I think I’m early and there’s already 94 comments lol, really enjoying the content, keep it up. Also can we get an up to speed on donut media, and how you guys became so big,
Oh my gosh. Your transitions are amazing in this one. And congratulation on being in a video game!
DUDE, THE DIRT 5 THING ROCKS!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
They still haven’t made an up to speed on the Pontiac firebird/trans am
Wait, you’re right
Was hoping Donut was just dragging it out for a rebirth of Pontiac, doubtful now though for obvious reasons.
I’m just gonna continue to put this comment on every up to speed till they do it
*i love the little details the editors put in the video....just know somebody appreciates you! lol*
I've always loved these. I also love the Scion xB. You should put that on your list of things to get up to speed on.
I can be sober, and still feel high watching these videos. You guys are doing a great job with these videos
5:50 everyone after quarentine
Hahaha XD
Love your content. Keep it up! Only time I ever saw an Atom (2017 Frisco, CO) it was hung up on a roundabout in damp weather.... Rim was torched, so was the front control arm.... Ouch.
Nolan, Noland, and James in a video game. Greatness can still happen in 2020. Congrats gang. Can't wait to play it!
When you are so early everyone claims they wrote the first comment.
Lmao 😂
So faithfullu true .
Love it love love it
5:50 me when the lockdown is over.
JAMMESSSSS IM SO PROUD OF YALL MAKING IT INTO DIRT WTF THATS SO SICK
I live 4 miles away from the factory in Crewkerne. See them driving about all the time! Amazing how small the factory really is
I feel like james is probably the most down to earth guy
5:46 This is more than just Simon's imagination
This is how the ariel actually feels like coming out of that company warehouse XD
Those were my last three brain cells
I'm a new donut fan but i must say that I'm happy for you guys! that's such an achievement! MO POWA DOES MATTER!!
HOLY CRAP WOW! On everything in this video but especially the Dirt 5! Congratulations! I might have waited until release but now I'm gonna pre-order! :)
GREAT SCRIPT, GRANT! GREAT EDIT, COLBY!
That imagination animation had me rollin
Man, this whole show was so hilarious, cheers from Brazil, keep up the good work boys !
I doubt James or Nolan will see this but, congratulations guys. You guys are awesome and getting into Dirt 5 is money. (I've also started yelling "lighting" randomly at work now when I get excited)
still confused by how the ariel atom is road legal 🤣
I mean it's just a tube chassis with wheels
Yh it's crazy, if ur driving it in the UK you need to bring an umbrella 😂☔
In Canada it is not road legal, unfortunately.
Even Cleetus' Leroy is road legal.
Yet they make the Zonda R not road legal
MFNovaldo underrated comment
"GREAT SCRIPT,GRANT! GREAT EDIT,COLBY!"
Congrats on your appearance in Dirt 5! I wish Ariel built an extreme lightweight super fast motorcycle like the Atom.
well done for making it into a game that's dope ill be checking out dirt5 now for sure
James : WE'RE IN DIRT 5!!!
Me : In Need for speed too.
1:16 everyones reaction to Red Dead Online

You're looking a lot better today James, glad to see it. Also, great Clarkson Ariel face.
I can’t wait to hear your beautiful voices in Dirt 5. ❤️ Congrats James and Nolan and everyone at Donut.
I hope my imagination runs wild too like those red green and blue creatures
