Someone tell me what language is that guy speaking?

Dan's videos are awesome. But two things bother me here:
1) Dan, how about cleaning up those gross piles of leaves at the cowl of the car? Yes, I'm OCD about that. They'll decay, clog drains, and the owner will end up with a bathtub back there. That's not A Good Thing.
2) Heineken? Really? That stuff is nasty!

It's English, but with a heavy dialect that I won't try to identify lest I make a fool of myself.

Nice vid! How many tiny screens have been the cause of problems in modern VW/Audi engines? Looking at you, hot vee V8 in S6/RS6 etc and cam bridge screens in 2.0T's. I had an 8V A3 e-tron like the one in the video and although I really liked it, I wouldn't want to own one outside of warranty for reasons like this.
Edit: Wonder if a broken screen was the problem with this car?
A3 e-tron battery and transmission issues
Hi, My A3 e-tron (5yo, 76000km) has P0A7D and P2884 faults and the service guy wants to replace the transmission (for $39k) ... bold as brass !! Says there is no replacement used transmission available. I understand the P0A7D is pointing to a battery internal failure which might be indicated...

Sure, Diagnose Dan is Dutch.This explains the accent, the "beer", and the clog
But it looks to me like @Ronaldo was asking about the RS4 vs Tesla on the winter track video. The guy in that video sounds like he's from somewhere in the English-speaking islands to the west of continental Europe, but I can't narrow it down more than that. FWIW, I have no trouble understanding him, but I can see how someone who is not a native English speaker might.

If @Ronaldo really meant the Tyre Reviews guy, here's what the interwebz says:
"Jonathan Benson, based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, is currently a Owner at TyreReviews.com"
Sounds fairly typically English English to me and I have no trouble understanding him after watching decades of Top Gear.

Ah, sorry about that.
The network I was using restricts access to YouTube, so I couldn't really see which of the videos @Ronaldo was referring to (the embedded video simply showed as a non-playable black rectangle).
Since the guy playing in the snow sounded as an obvious Brit to me, I assumed it was the Diagnosing Dutchman that was raising the earbrows.
Exactly. Just when I start thinking I've improved my ability to understand spoken English, then comes a video with a guy speaking something that sounds to me like "this is Pirelli ultra hi pahfohmance wintah tah so it's pahfect foh this kind of cahs". Youtube auto subtitles saved me.

Three blokes spent six hours blasting my bottom with 250kg of Co2... Glory to the God of Carbon Dioxide.
Happened to a friend of mine in Thailand. Not sure about the CO2 though, he doesn't like to talk about it.

Fuck Grungy Turdberg... on second thoughts, no, I'd rather not thank you...
That man needs set a goal for himself: To clean his coffee filter basket; it's disgusting.
I also disagree with his assertion that you won't exceed a goal you set. In 1999, when I started working on VCDS ("VAG-COM" back then) my goal was to sell 1000 systems per year. I figured if I achieved that, I'd never have to work for someone else again. Needless to say, I surpassed that goal.

And in 2001 I was in merika visiting my friend Peter Bormann of Rapid Parts in Monsey NY at his Waterfest 2001 show in NJ when first encountered your product.That man needs set a goal for himself: To clean his coffee filter basket; it's disgusting.

Did we meet then? I'm pretty sure 2001 was year that Waterfest should have been called "Dust Fest"....?
If it's the Waterfest I'm thinking, I was there with a then brand-new T4, with a couple of extra deep cycle batteries in the back so I wouldn't have to run the engine constantly while demonstrating VAG-COM. That didn't work out quite the way I'd planned -- I ended up blowing the fuse for the 12V outets I had those batteries plugged into.
