The ice cream van would make a really good campavan conversion due to the height of the back. And those big windows! I want to see you do a drag race together.

[@Adifferentperspectiveoflife]

It has the worlds worst suspension

[@Fluffy_Jaylo2737]

Weight test, highest KG number wins maybe a lap around a track, with the weight

[@MikeL28017]

These have gotta be converted into "caravans" and be used in a '24 in the van' challenge!

[@morganwilliams2863]

£500 conversions

[@cybrey]

Pretty sure Alex's used to be a converted campervan. Explains the missing bulkhead, the 'hairy' ex insluated walls and the skylight.

[@eriksimca9409]

nah, just make it 24 hours in a van, as they are

Brilliantly done!!! 😂

Never saw Alex laughing so damn hard.

Yeh same lol

[@JellyLancelot]

Alex and Taylor are the perfect car comedy duo, so naturally funny

[@garage79r]

The amount of pure laughter in this just being silly reminds me of my younger years ❤️

[@milancv]

The whole scene with Taylor hitting the steering wheel and Alex's reaction was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Marley has to become the AutoAlex merch van! Pull up on the 28th and open for business! Terry can move your bikes around. Marley wins 😂 not laughed so much in ages! What happened to the trade up challenge?

[@ashleyhamman]

I'm imagining them selling tees with a complementary rootbeer or cream soda of their own branding (sorta like James' Gin) out of it in 2-4 years time.

[@seanyo9122]

My god this episode was funny & when Taylor slammed his fist on the steering and the wipers turned on 😂🤣😂 Already excited for more episodes to come 👌👌

[@TheWedgeh1]

We need to see you try and make ice creams while Taylor drives you around a track, and vice versa! This has been an absolute banger of an episode and 100% lifted my mood.

[@markwright3161]

And eat some straw in the back of Alex's Transit :) ...Just not off the floor, that will have been bedding for sheep, cattle/calves, ponies, pigs or something and is likely to have whatever species of feces left from them too. It looks like they've used a cheap van instead of a livestock trailer, or to transport more in one go while also towing a trailer. It would definitely explain the floor rotting off next to the side door as that's where everything whatever animal was in there produced will have pooled, until it corroded its own drain obviously.

[@jno5]

Taylor laughing is so damn infectious that you can’t help but laughing yourself…..🤣

[@Jfreezz]

The Amount of energy this two have is unmatched 😂😂

[@utilitarian]

A true bromance if ever I saw one

never thought watching a footage of 2 adult men screaming for reaching 60mph in an ice cream van would be this hilarious.. i love it

[@GrafRamolo]

I bet you never thought that you write that sentence too ;)

[@TheMetalMenace]

Taylor really has the most infectious laugh! I loved the video :) Two suggestions: 1) lift kit, or 2) lowered

[@anaschillin]

After watching Taylor hitting the steering wheel and Alex's reaction causing them both to laugh hysterically for ages, I just want to spend a day with these lads. They are an aboslute vibing duo. Would love to meet them some day

[@Fabulousprofound168]

Bring both vans to the Nurburgring and get Misha to try and set a new Transit lap record, but the ice cream van has to be playing music for the full lap (assuming it makes it)

[@jonasvandersmissen5449]

They can try and beat sabine shmitz her record in a transit.

[@Swaydcfc24]

@@jonasvandersmissen5449 not a chance sabine was in a 115 trend with all the weight out. Be funny to watch though

Misha driving a rusty shitbox on the nordschleife? Isn't that kinda dangerous? Ok, i'm in for it😅

Man, I haven't laughed that much for a while, you know, the kind of silent, wheezing, struggling to breath laughing! Keep it up guys, whatever challenges you do, how about a destruction derby for the last one?

These two have such a great bond of friendship, the way they just bounce of each other and jell so well is so effortless. Would love to go on a night out with them 🎉

[@Hazdazos]

Oh this might be the best series yet! And not a BMW in sight. Can't wait to see what you guys do. Definitely want to see some track action - see if you guys can get some air on a bump or lift a corner on a tight turn.

[@Lfcme]

The ice cream van experience was some of the best stuff I've seen on youtube this year 😂

[@BeardedFrog]

The chemistry/dynamic between Taylor and Alex is just incredible. I could die laughing watching them do just about anything. Love this channel. Also the guinea pig comment had me in tears lol. Of all the things to imagine as animals that could have been in the back lol. The image of that van filled to the brim with guinea pigs back there XD

Oh yes! Love it. Van Diesel looks like it was carpeted at some point and then it was all ripped out badly 🫣 Definitely speak to Leigh of Combe Valley Campers about so stuff to get the vans looking pukka. Also got campers and coffee event in Hellingly Hailsham in a couple weeks on Sunday 10th September. Camping on the Saturday night too. Maybe bring them along for the show, I could totally see Taylor sleeping in an ice cream truck 😄😄😄

[@s1_auds]

I have to come clean, Taylor's humour makes these so much more enjoyable 😂

I absolutely love this series. Taylor is hilarious and seems to be a genuine guy. Looking forward to more of your antics.

Dear god, the part at the end when Taylor smacks the steering wheel R U I N E D me. I almost passed out from laughing at you two. It would be awesome if you went to the shops with each others vans, and decorated each as a caravan for the other to spend a night in. Vamping in each others "creation"

[@bradevans1661]

Looking forward to this becoming another great rolling home for someone!

[@DanielSmith-ox3yb]

The side door is a easy fix. Cut a hole on door card to left of inside handle. Get someone to try and use handle and feel how it works from inside door. Theres a metal catch the handle has slipped past with ruff use. Push it past handle the your thumb. Dont yank handle to open door click it open with handle and pull from right at roller.

I bought a 1998 Smiley face Transhit in 2006 for £250. All it needed was 4 tyres, new front discs & pads, new front springs, new hard brake lines, (which I made), and an engine. All in, on the road, including MOT, tax & insurance, it cost a grand. It lasted another 7 years until the body dissolved beyond the point of welding it up. 'Manny the Tranny' was that van's name. 2.5 litre, 4 pot, non-turbo diseasel. Flat out at 74mph, whether it was empty or fully loaded & towing a trailer with a race car on. It would run on diesel, kerosene, petrol & diesel mixed, cooking oil, BBQ Lighting fluid, or even used engine oil. The motor I put in it had been to the Sun & back and would run on just about anything flammable. 👍 It was a good camper in later years too, as once the rear floor rusted out you didn't have to get out in the middle of the night to go for a pee, you just aimed through one of the larger holes in the floor.

[@andrewrobertson5508]

My Caterham Super 7 race car uses a T5 transmission that also saw use in FR transit vans. One of the modifications we made to the gearbox was utilizing the hardened shift forks found almost exclusively in these transit vans we never got in the USA. There’s something hilarious and satisfying about knowing there’s a component that is shared between an ice cream van and my racecar.

[@xjoshwilliams95]

Never fail to have me in hysterics the pair of you 😂

[@ItsDanLatham]

You guys always bring the laughs, but this was another level. I had tears running down my face the amount I was rolling up at these shenanigans.

Hi Lads. What kind of Bikes have you got. I have an 07 Honda Fireblade and im looking to upgrade. If you have anything then let me know. Did the Mini Cooper make it back okay with the new engine.

Great Video Alex. 😅😅

Campers would be a good one, pitch up in camp sites across England (South to North and back), do a race or two, deliver this to here, gas mileage challenges all with the "Who can make it the most comfortable" with the remainder of the £3000 after the fees Alex mentioned. That way Alex gets more to work with cash wise but has more repairs/parts to get... and he can't get his friends to do them for him, he has to do them himself. Taylor on the other hand has to exclusively shop at Walmart {or the local equivalent} for this challenge.
