This is the most frustrating moment of 2023 ngl. Track getting shut right in front of us as I was about to lap Phil was right in the Pheels blue balls moment.

Rory sounds genuinely livid at that oil spill, and to be fair, I probably would be to. Definitely would love to see Misha take Phil out.

[@invisiblekid99]

Phil is a POS, but seeing that oil spill still hurts. Covered in a farm's cow plop? Fine, but idiots loading an oil-filled engine? No fair.

Misha, phil, lap, make it happen, go as soon you can. Phil, sounded lovely. Look forward to you fixing the exhaust properly, go back to bruno, remap it with the better exhaust, fix the intake properly that will help also. Then sort the suspension setup so it's as best it can for Mishas lap

[@althejazzman]

If Alex only checked the tyre pressures after his lap, maybe wasn't before Misha jumped in and therefore Misha's lap would have been wasted anyway.

[@planesintheayr]

Great to see Phil on the channel again

Sad that Phil didn't get his lap with The King but a good excuse for a return visit! Love the instant regret of not draining the oil, and the immediate failure of the "Big Tesco Bag"

"Let me frame this in the only way you will understand" exactly why Rory is an essential foil in this channel. That was a May dressing down Clarkson conversation.

I absolutely want to see Misha drive Phil when it is setup properly!

[@kevinwright3141]

Well done on getting an X351 Rory! I have owned the same one for 5 years and 80k miles - Love the thing. Similar age and miles to yours! the 3.0 Diesel can do 50+ MPG, 0 to 60 in 6 seconds and can carry 5 people in comfort... interested to see a video on this soon! Exhaust manifolds, turbos, and adaptive suspension are the things to watch out for. Also if you ever replace the discs, best to get drilled discs as the front and rear brakes are susceptible to getting really, really hot! Also, do use the correct Oil (5W-30 Acea C1) and replace it frequently, as the diesel engines are prone to spitting out cranks if not maintained (Lots of people change every 5k miles).

[@Pouckie90]

I really love the podcast, keep it up guys! Alex and Taylor are so entertaining and Rory does a great job keeping it structured.

[@trque0fthedevil]

I’m taking the positive that we will now get some overdue Phil content with him being properly set up and Ring Ready!

I like how everyone (especially Rory) got very cranky at the end with the mini engine leaking oil. To me that’s one of the realest moments. 😏
