Wanting to keep this thread alive and in case some of you missed it in James' build thread, here's a walk around of a couple of his fleet!

For the record I have made a video 3 times but never been happy with the results(lighting, forget things, etc) so will try again in the next few days.

No worries. I wouldn't be surprised if others have done the same. I know I did several attempts, talked to my friend Daniel about his for Bulma, and we shared similar expereinces.
Turns out talking to a camera feels weird and messes with ya. And then doing it all in one take? Bound to be mistakes.

I started one yesterday and felt super awkward doing it. People driving by looking at me, my finger getting in front of the lens. I will try again after work in a secluded spot.

Use the premise as if you are at a car meet and somebody asks you about your car.
These arent TopGear segments.
Don't feel guilty if you miss things - It's not possible to cover it all. My walkarounds have been 2nd take after I use the first one to just warm up my voice for 30 seconds and remember how to hold the phone correctly. If you're obsessed with details put'em on a postit note and run through them that way.
It's a bit weird like a public speaking thing, but that's a great skill to develop.
I will attempt it again today. Its a bit warmer and the sun is out so you will get to see the shine on certain areas. But since I am going to do it, I might as well do it big.

Things that caused me to stop and start over:
- Said something that I thought was (or sounded) stupid.
- My brain couldn't keep up with my mouth.
- Forgot, then remembered something.
- Just went way off track.
- Hand slipped and caused the phone to stop recording.
I just eventually powered through with what could be described "kindly" as excessive "personality." And I still forgot to mention the stock R-pack trunk spoiler.
Finally got around to making a video!
