So what happened to the £1500 hot hatch challenge?? I've re listened to almost all of the podcasts in the last week or so and there's so so many amazing ideas that just haven't happened or come off. Not trying to do the Boi's down but lets see some of the plans come to fruition. Just leave you thinking what's going on? Come on Boys one project or idea at a time.

Surely, by now everyone just skips that part. There can't be anyone, other than first time visitors, that watches that part.

[@ricardoseixas3242]

What about a Mercedes slk or clk, since he wanted a cabrio? A mercedes slk mk1 kompressor has almost 200hp with room for improvement. Those with monoblock rims and amg kit look amazing. Would be nice to see more Mercedes and Audi's on the channel

[@Chateauneufdupape27]

Very good suggestion! I loved mine back in the days. AMG exhaust and it sounded great too

[@zer0bre]

Not everyone can handle a 200+hp car. You have to keep that in mind. Drivers actually need to be alive in order to drive cars. Including the cars not being in pieces. Do you know how many people sat in a 200+hp cars and just slammed into a tree because they're "pretty much racing drivers"? I think the MX5 is the perfect sporty, yet relatively tame car combination out there. Especially since the parts for a Merc compared to Mazda parts vary greatly.

[@heyhey3887]

What happened to the hot hatch challenge with the VXR? Why can't these lot just do one series through to completion. I like the V2 stuff more at this point, as well as TDC. The main challenge is a yawn fest

[@PROlegend-pb6vm]

I believe they're currently editing the 3rd episode of the hothatch series 👍

​@@AutoalexCars So why were there not videos of the work done to the Clio and the 208? Do you not think that that might have been more interesting that putting more coil overs on another MX-5?

There might be? He said they are back with them next week doesnt mean the track day is the next video? ​@calibrazxr750

[@evilutionltd]

Oi Taylor! When are we going to get Ængine merch?

[@_tobes._]

he's giving Ethan energy in a good way!!

[@daniellenner813]

Never heard of a 32 way adjustable coilover before... These are single adjustable. The damper stiffness can be selected in 32 increments.

[@_Cads]

As much as I enjoy this channel, there is a danger it can go a little stale. Hopefully you’ll take the constructive criticism on board and put some thought into future videos. A channel can go downhill as quickly as it kicked off if viewers are bored.

[@kotnbronson]

That's not a Sport model, it's the base 2L🙃

[@ollypricegaming2233]

Sport came with LSD? But this also had cloth seats, was confused

You always bring something unique. That’s why I come back to your channel!

[@Vhicken]

1800 pounds what the fuck. That is at least 9k USD in the US, crazy how cheap Miata's are across the pond.

[@gofres]

I've never owned one but I love the mk2 MR2 so much I convinced a house mate to buy one 😂. He just added a sports cat back exhaust that really pepped up the power, dynoed at 182bhp. Then added some toyo semi slicks. I got to drive it a few times and it was a ton of fun! Loved the handling, it just turned like a ballet dancer.

[@4039byrne]

I think they should try something different like what overdrive used to do. I loved their videos where they were competing against each other trying to handbrake turn a ford ka into a tiny space. Doing that with the autoalex gang would be hilarious!

[@LostYogi]

Benji is true to the channel, he chose to modify before you fix!!!

[@surajsol7242]

There's more cars that exist 🥴 think out the box

[@scottrobson3472]

Got to be an MR2 respect his wishes!!

[@tanmaysai5961]

Guys, I understand all of you that y’all think it’s a repeat but I really don’t get you all. First things first - it’s a different story. We watch any show or any video to see the lads. Second, let’s also understand that Alex just had a baby. Compared to ANY content creator/journalist out there - he’s doing absolute maximum since the beginning before Baby Brenda and after Brendamelia was born! Cut some slack and bear with it. Better videos will come and I trust that Alex and the lads have something good. You can’t always have different content but always a unique story! Alex you can pin this lol. Cheers.

[@adsyoffinch]

Absolutely this! Can’t just go off and do massive road trips now he’s got a nipper! I’m looking forward to the hot hatch and classic car challenge as much as everyone else but he can’t just go off and do two continental trips in a couple weeks now, they’ll both be projects that’ll continue and conclude in the new year. I like these videos when they buy friends and colleagues cars though, it’s very thoughtful and I love seeing their reactions when he tells them the car is theirs. For me this channel, V2, TDC ATG are just going from strength to strength at the minute all things considered!

[@nr1fan4all]

Was gonna say you make some good points till you asked if Alex can confirm you licked his boots right. Man can create a backlog and take some time off, not our problem he did not, this constant revolving door setup is not working, we get car of the week and then never see it again, cant bond to one project because it will be gone soon, like this mx-5… this could have been a second channel video and keep the exciting stuff for main. Also the not king of shitboxes jokes are a warning of a problem, Alex is slowly no longer relatable to his audience, people will move on at some point.

[@elemar5]

Is Alex a record breaker? First male to give birth.

[@AutoalexCars]

haha thanks 😘

[@zer0bre]

The problem with people today is that everyone feels entitled enough to DEMAND to be entertained the way they want to be. If you asked each viewer, i could guarantee that every single one of them would have their own opinion on how the channel would have to be run and which cars need to be shown. And worse part, everyone thinks that they're the ones that are right, not the other guys.

[@dayv]

Yes !! Evening sorted 😅

[@atpeterhayes]

Lot of opinions from a lot of people. Videos "feeling" the same when they aren't the same is legit an issue. If I know half of what you're going to do to a car before you start, then that's half a video I don't need to watch. The larger series need way more lead time; that would prevent the issue of getting behind either on editing or on the work that needs to be done to the cars in the video. The aim of the channel needs to be more refined. If it's not about doing the work and rather sending the car off to someone (betty getting pd'd), then you're limited to being a car documentary channel; basically here's one someone made earlier but with a project car. And the "new dad" excuse kinda doesn't wash when you have several people under you who don't have day jobs aside from this specific content creation. It's ok to let go and take some steps back Alex, especially for your first kid. The videos are good, but it's Year 3, there needs to be some longer range planning to secure the future of the channel and content. You can only fly by the seat of your pants for so long...

[@1069echo]

well this is a name i wasn't expecting to see in the comments 😁

[@1993ryansummers]

To all the people in the comments complaining about the free content you're watching, I'd like to see you do a better job! Alex & the team smash it out of the park every video, they are so entertaining and never fail to put a smile on my face. Just imagine having to devote your life to being a father, but also your business. You can't say that's easy and if you think it is, then again please try it! Keep up the good work guys

[@bene.100]

Did you take him for a ride with the stock suspension?? Part of the joy of fitting parts is the before and after feeling! Edit: I must also offer some words of encouragement to you guys after reading some of the comments here. YOU guys are the reason myself and many others watch, not the cars or even what you do to them. Stay true to yourselves!

[@zmarko]

The clutch pedal squeak could be a slightly more serious issue. The bracket that holds the clutch pedal tends to Crack and eventually break on the NC's. So, if I were you, I'd poke your head under the dash, and watch the clutch pedal assembly while pressing the clutch and see if the pedal assembly is moving strangely. If it is, or you notice any cracking, replace the whole assembly.

[@FraxinusExelsior]

Here in Sweden a facelift MX5 NC is 12 000€...whats up with UK car prices...

[@elemar5]

18:39 Why would you want to adjust the cars moistness? It's damping, not dampening.

[@calibrazxr750]

Every video looks like one I have seen them do previously. Another MX-5 Mk3, more BC coil overs, car vertical advert, blah blah blah.

[@Mayorrans_Garage]

I was thinking exactly the same.. the TDC and ATG holding up the channels!

[@Simtatic]

Agree. I like Autoalex and the whole crew, but the cars, ideas and videos are always feeling same-ish for a while. I was REALLY excited to see some content on the Ferrari, but nah. (They didn't sell it, right? Just asking in case i missed something, i am behind on the podcasts)

[@FranzFridl]

Are you here for the cars? I just enjoy spending time with them... Taking a shit, but still

[@frannymarch87]

It’s getting extremely repetitive

[@bradenhart8947]

TDC have started doing sponsorships with Better Health so they’re going to see a drop in viewership and ATG are starting to get a bit boring with the low budget themed videos but at least their videos are consistently entertaining.

I really enjoy watching Taylor’s and Jooshy’s explanations of how they repair things - to me, those are really interesting. Great work considering you’ve just had a baby, Alex!

[@r.whitt90]

I think some people have missed the point of this video. It wasn't about starting a new series, or showing a different car. It was simply doing something nice for someone and showing appreciation. Alex has just had a Brenda, which takes up a lot of time and energy. The fact he's still bothering to put out content is great, who cares what it is. Keep it coming 👌🏼

I do agree that the recent uploads have seemed repetitive but thats on me watching it. Alex is looking out for his team and ensuring they're looked after using his platform.
