Collecting Cars have committed hari-kari. Just like Petrolicious they have ruined a once glorious formula by chasing the 'yoof' and gone all wokey-cokey.
Which bit for the 'yoof & which bit was 'wokey-cokey'? All I saw was a 3 minute video with a chap talking about a 993.123DWA said:

I reckon if Alex and his team were in their 50's, spoke like someone who went to a grammar school and did boring walkaround videos you'd receive him better.
A lot of you struggle to see past the youthful "bantz" and style of the channel, even though it's how a lot of us in our 30's speak to each other.
One of you said he just does Youtube and isn't a real journalist even though he worked for Autocar for years writing reviews that many of you would've probably read without question.
Some of his stuff doesn't land with me, but the accusations of creating contrived, scripted drama etc just doesn't align with what I see when I watch the videos. They're young(ish) guys having fun with cars and filming it. If it was Harry doing the same thing but with less laughter, fun, breakdowns etc you'd lap it up.
I still find it mind boggling that the critics appear to watch every episode only to moan about it on here. I find Harry's videos boring and repetitive so I stopped watching a while ago.
That's why I was questioning what gives Harry Metcalfe the label of 'expert' over Auto Alex.A lot of you struggle to see past the youthful "bantz" and style of the channel, even though it's how a lot of us in our 30's speak to each other.

Their CVs are the same except Harry has been doing it longer.

Latest misha video is out, the owner must be either stupid or really desperate for 30 seconds of fame to let him track his svj on a normal tourist lap day
Wow, he's brutal, straight out the pits and banging the splitter off the ground at 230km/hr, overtaking a bike fairly close and downshifting close to rev limiter.He's even off the track at 7:46 at 150mph - has he not had enough accidents. my goodness, what a liability.

What type of Mini would that have been at 6-7 mins? It was PDQ.

Enjoyed it too. TDC and All the Gear are already way better than AutoAlex IMO.
Agreed, I definitely feel like TDC leans more towards the "these are the cars of our youth/when we began driving, this is what we loved doing in them..and crashing!" vibe, AutoAlex is nothing but "Hey guys look, old BMW's..again!" Enjoyed the latest TDC too.75Black said:

Enjoyed that episode of TDC, Will seems to be getting better every episode.
When Auto Alex has yet another BMW on I don't bother watching.
I should think (and hope) that the next episode is the Ferrari being fettled and back on the road somewhat. When Auto Alex has yet another BMW on I don't bother watching.
