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.

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.

I hope that cut'n'shut never gets back "on the road".

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.

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

It's because Harry will look and talk like the majority of the moaners on this thread, that's all there is to it really.

The irony. And here you are, moaning because harry doesn't say 'sik bruv init'.

Dad? Is that you?! Who let you out of the retirement home? I'm not moaning about Harry at all, I just said I don't watch his content. Do keep up old sport.

The certi drivers bit made me chuckle. And that ST seems to be a bit of a bargain.

I find Will completely unwatchable and unsubscribed a while ago, shame really as I always enjoyed Edwin on CT with Jack and Ethan.

Doubt it, parts 2 and 3 of the Polish road trip next

Really enjoyed the latest TDC vid



Laughed out loud at the elbow delete driving! Very accurately described!

Me too! A great video!

[LARK F1 GTR]

I also watched this one last night. It's a bit long, but tells you what happened to the car (if you don't know)




The winner of it got crashed into, the insurance company wrote it off. The man at the salvage yard was annoyed at people turning up to look at it and trying to steal bits off of it. They don't say if the person who took the ICE install was the winner or not

[SCJM21]

2/2 for BigTime, enjoyed both releases thoroughly, got a great filming style.

[LincolnLovin]

It’s a very cool project, I keep up with the truck side of YouTube. Trucker Tim is the AA of trucks, but there loads of great content creators in the haulage space.

It’s amazing you can just step into a semi in the states, I’ve got my C+E licence and stepping into a HGV with zero training is a big risk. I assume he won’t be towing a trailer any time soon.

I have no idea how he managed to string that out as long as he did. The interviews were like pulling teeth.

I wouldn't be surprised if it had already been sold tbh. Followed with a ''it was never really my thing'' or, as it was for the other E30 touring, ''I just never jelled with it''. I seem to recall there have been a few other sales. Has the supercharged £600 Z3 gone yet? I imagine there would have been a few potential buyers in their DM's. Can't blame them though. It just seems a bit lame when you go on about buying a car you'd always wanted, only to sell it a week or so later.

Someone on here purchased the supercharged Z3 from Taylor

[WilsonWilson]

I imagine the 360 will be put in a drivable state and then sold to a Ferrari dismantler. It might be all about content but they are smart enough to know any tabloid would love to run a 'Youtuber fixed Ferrari crash into/injured/killed my...' headline and create outrage to end their careers.

Indeed. It was our comrade 'Lincoln Loving' from the 'Project 40' channel.

I'd like to see it converted to diesel.

Matt Armstrongs Rolls looks to have taken a turn for the worse.

In theory my wife, with no towing experience, can go out and buy a twin axle car trailer and tow 3 tons with her SUV (right on the limit of its rating) without any training, through windy mountain passes.

It's a different world.
